MR.. GILLESPIE
GETS APPOINTMENT
United States District Attunsyship for The
Western District of Virginia is rendered
to and Accepted by the TazeWeII
Man-McCaII WithdTaWs.

Barnes Gillespie, a prominent Young
attorney of the Tazewell bar. will be
the next United States District Attor-
ney for the Western district of Virgin
Ia The official announcement of this
fact may be looked for at any time. and
will probably be made before this issue
of The Republican reaches most of our
readers.
The District Attorneyship is now fill
ed by Thomas Lee Moore, of Christians
burg. who has his Office at Roanoke:
but it is understood that Mr.. Gillespie
will make his headquarters at Taze-
well. This is perhaps the most impor-
tant appointment to be made in the
Ninth district, and Mr.. Gillespie is to
be congratulated on securing the DO
sition which, by virtue of his ability, he
is so we'll qualified to fill.
Mr.. H. G. Mccall. of this place, who
has been prominently mentioned for the
position of United States Marshal for
the Western district of Virginia. has
withdrawn from the contest since he
has found that it is considered advisable
to have the Marshal make his head
quarters in Lynchburg, and this would
necessitate his moving from Tazewell
to that city, and this is contingency
that no true Tazewelli,e would consid-
er. The withdrawal of Mr.. Mccall
leaves two candidates still in the field,
S. Brown Allen, the present incumbent,
and H G. Profit, of Patrick county.

Norton Tries to Issue Bonds Again,

In pursuance of orders from the cir
cuit court, notices have been posted in
Norton calling for an election to be held
on the tenth Of March in which the peo-
pie will vote on a bond issue of $40 600
to be distributed as follows: S35. 600
for streets, $40, 900 for sewer system
and SIS, 900 for a city hall.
About a year ago similar election
was held, but because of some flaw in
the legal proceedings, the bonds did not
find ready sale. After several attempts
to dispose of them, it was decided that
it would be better to hold another cleo
tion. The bonds were voted before by
a large majority and there is scarcely q
doubt that they will carry this time.

COOL GREETING
IS rendered TO
Sen. NEWLANDS

All efforts on the part of United
States Senator Francis G. Newlands
to arouse the democrats of this
city to a point of enthusiasm at the
Miners Exchange hall last evening,
were a dismal failure. The learned
senator is quite an orator and time
and time again he waited for the
applause that never came. Then
again, he proved a disappointment,
for his address was a rambling ac-
count of nothing in particular. A
fairly large crowd was in attend
ance, but the majority were repub-
licans attracted out of curiosity. A
number of democrats occupied the
rostrum with Newlands and it was
noticeable that they were the only
ones who applauded during the
evening.
In addition to the main address
the county candidates ~also spoke,
and were the recipients of a great
deal more applause than Mr.. New
lands received.

The candidates will make their
headquarters at the Mizpah hotel,
where an informal reception will be
held both before and after the big
meeting. Music will be rendered
by the Tonopah military band.
which will march from the hotel to
the Miners Exchange hall, where
they will render all of the latest
popular airs before the speaking,
and continue while the audience is
being seated.
Voters of both parties are partic-
ularly requested to attend this mon
ster rally, in order that they may
have the issues now pending placed
squarely before them. The assur-
ance is given that each and every
speaker comprising the party will
have something of urgent interest
to say. Every important question
involved in the campaign will be
treated in detail for the benefit of
all.

NIXON-ODDIE
PARTY RECEIVED
WITH Open ARMS

WINNEMUCCA, Oct. 26-A great
reception was rendered Senator Nix
on and the rest of the party of re-
publican candidates at Golconda to-
day. The party had planned to
pass through this town, and it was
not intended that speeches would be
made at this time.
However, Senator Nixon and T..
L. Oddie's popularity are so great
that the people would not permit
them to pass on without having
heard from them, and Senators Nix
on and Oddie, E. E. Roberts and
BILLY" Booth spoke in front of the
hotel. The meeting lasted for two
hours, and practically the entire
population of the town was present.
An enthusiastic meeting was held
at Paradise tonight Senator Nixon,
who is campaigning in territory in
which he is well known, and where
he has maintained chain of banks
for years, was given a rousing re-
ception. When he recounted his
banking experiences, particularly in
the panic of 1907, the audience
went wild, all of the persons COM
prising the crowd standing on their
feet and cheering wildly. Oddie
Roberts and the balance of the par
| ty were received with open arms
and assured of strong Sllnnort
