Nominate Candidates.

Abingdon, Sept. 27.-(SpeciaD-
Both the republicans and the Demo-
Gratis, of Bristol and Washington
county, held conventions here today
to nominate for the house of dele
gates of Virginia. Both parties were
largely represented.
The Republicans nominated Samuel
l.. Millard, of Bristol, present repre-
sentative. and w. II. Kestner, of
Hayters Gap. The Democrats nomi-
mated Lee M. McChesney, of Bristol,
and Rev f. c.. Buck, a minister OF
the Christian church, who resides
near Abingdon. Both tickets are
made up of temperance men and
will doubtless be equally acceptable
tothe Anti Saloon League.

HORRIBLE Crime
STILL UNAYENCED
MurdererS of Whole Family
in Buchanan County Have
Not Been Captured.

Mr. w. L.. Dennis, of Grundy, was
here on business this week, and in
formed this Office that the murder of
the Meadows family and Mrs. Ju sits
is still rs much a mystery rs at first.
No arrests hav- been made, and there
is no clue whatever which promises
definite information. Several parties
are under suspicion, but there is not
hing tangible or definite upon which
to justify action on the part of the
authorities.
Mr.. Dennis stated, that there is an
undercurrent of deep feeling al over
: the county. Nobody is talking or
cares to talk, but there is determi-
nation on the part of the people to
leave no stone unturned to bring the
perpetrators of the awful crime to
justice. Governor Swanson has off,
cred reward of $3.50 and the county
of Buchanan, supplemented by pri-
vaIe subscription, will swell this n
mount up into the thousands. When
this reward becomes sufficiently large
TO interest the detectives there is lik-
ely to be something doing. The
murderers, for there were evidently
several OF them, have succeeded so far
in completely covering up their
tracks, and no doubt the services of
expert detectives will be necessary TO
unravel the mystery.
Richmond, Sept. ~. 7.--Acting OH
suggestions embodied i'm letter from
w. l.. Dennis, former clerk of Buch-
anan county, and on other informa-
tion he has received, Governor Swan
son to-day decided to offer rev ard OF
$3.50 for the arrest and con viction of
the person or persons who last week
committed the atrocious crime at
Hurley, Buchanan county, which
resulted In the death nf three adults
and as many children
The executive is infrmed that il is
the purpose of the people in the
county to follow his example and to
offer an enticing reward for the APP
prehension of the criminals. The
supervisors, i'll all probability, will
make the sum $500, while the citi-
zens will put up somewhere between
81, 600 and SO, ,000 In some quarters,
1t is believed that sentiment is so
thoroughly arc used That the figure
will finally mount up to So, 600 or
So, 600.

wards, which, of course, will be
