The New Dances

The New Dances
In New York there are a number of
new dances being. introduced. but
whether they arrive here or not is a
question. There has been a dancing
masters convention in New York, and
the popular barn dance Of the past
two seasons has heard its death knell
sounded by teachers who insist that
the comet schottische and the Boston
glide are the newest and most correct
dances to be included on programmes
for the coming year.
If perchance those two dances do
come to Fargo here is hint about
them. The tempo Is A. time, and the
couple should maintain the regulation
skating position throughout the dance
Here Is how to do 1t. The woman and
man both begin with the left foot,
from the left to second position, right
to fifth position, and forwardwith dip
Then right to second position, left to
fifth position, and forward with dip.
After repeating each movement two
times two-step through two bars,
straight ahead, then two step turning
to right through two more bars, and
the comet schottische is completed.
The Boston glide is to q waltz time,
and is danced in waltz position.
Glide left foot to side. counting one,
two. draw right foot to left, counting
three, and repeat counting six. The
Boston is demonstrated by the left foot
drawn back. making half turn, the
right foot forward, making half turn
and repeat all three times counting In
all through twelve bars. The fniat

George w. Moss, a Taze-
well Man Buys $500
Head for the For
eign Trade.
THE STOCK rs IN
FINE CONDITION
Average Steer Will Bring
the Excellent Average
Price of 500.

George W. Moss of Burks Garden
ing from n trip to Zenith where he
is largely interested In coal lands, as
the purchasing agent for n well known
Baltimore firm has just bought $500
cattle in Tazowell and the nelghbor-
ing counties. The prices are good,
MIR. Moss says, and the average steer
will bring about 500, an excellent
price, the latter part of September or
the first of October. These cattle are
bought for the export trade and in
the main go to Liverpool. Mr.. Moss
bought all the cattle in Tazewell and
the adjoining counties except 500
which he purchased in Russell coun-
ty, Va. and 100 I'm Smyth county.
In addition to the Moss consign-
ment, j, $. ana A. T.. Gillespie of Taze
well have contracted to sell $50 cattle
TO Chicago firm at the same price
as the export cattle. Russell county,
it is stated, produces about 5000 head
a year for export and of this number
1900 comes from the ranch owned by
Henry Stuart Democratic candidate
for congress in the Ninth Virginia
district.
The raising of export cattle from a
small beginning several years ago has
grown to be one of the most impor-
tant industries of Southwest Virginia,
and it is an enterprise which brings
foreign money into the country I'm no
small quantities. Beef connoisseurs
regard the blue grass product as vast
ly superior to- the western fattened
steer. and the demand is much SUI
pcrior The foreign markets, IL is
stated, are always open to- cattle from
Southwest Virginia and the blue grass
sections Of Greenbrier Monroe and
Mercer counties, W. Va
Owing to the prevalent rains, Mr..
Moss says that the general opinion
is that cattle would not fatten well.
but this season is an exception.
"The grass is tender and juicy" he
says, "and the cool weather I'm itself
has tended to make the cattle take on
tallow. The crop OF flies is scant. and
wh'Io there are never any nies on
F1zcwcll cattle, Gguratively speaking,
the absence Of the insect has re-.
moved this irritation and tended TO a
rapid lattcning Of the herds. II is
probably AN exception to- the general
rule because the grass growth I'm wet
seasons is not supposed to be very
nutritious but the cool weather and
the absence Of flies have caused
state Of mind and body among tho
cattle which at this time closely re-.
scmblcs fat"

Hon. Abraham Gets Major

Regulars Get Everything in

for Congressman.

While yesterdays Republican pri-
mary was a nominal victory for the
regulars, standpatters, machine men
or whatever designation you wish to
employ, the insurgents won heat
which heartened them for all the
other defeats. This was the carrying
of the county of Mercer by Hon. A. a.
Lilly OF Beckley candidate for con
gress in the fifth district against
James Hughes of Huntington, the
present incumbent. Lilly, while he
lost the city of Bluefield, carried the
county by about 25O votes. This, Mr.
Lilly claims gives him a majority of
sixteen votes in the district with Ma
son county to hear from. Included
in these delegations are the contested
contingents of Putnam and Mingo
counties. Mason county will hold a
regular mass convention Saturday, ac-
cording TO MIR. Lilly, but the Hughes
people are holding mass convention
today which they claim is entirely reg
ular. This adds three contested coun
ties TO the list to be settled and other.

for Lilly in a mass convention held
there yesterday.
With the delegations in controversy
the Welch occasion promises to be
the liveiest within the ecclesiastical
history of the state. 1t is advised by
disinterested people that the casual
observer would better supply himself
with a coat of mail and about four
gats. The Lillys are known to be
a fighting stock and it is not believed
that they will tolerate q steal with

Nothing OF Importance happened at
the closing scenes of yesterdays cleo
tion, with the exception that it is
stated on good authority that curb
quotations of votes went to $40 and
there was heavy buying even at this
price. When the Leader closed its
forms yesterday afternoon according
to street advice the highest price paid
was 81 but there was a bull move
mcnt, it is stated, before the polls
closed which ran the price to $40.
