given a great impetus. 1t has been
carried on most successfully during

DID YOU SEE THE
COMETLAST night?
Many "Rubbernecks" Look
ed, But Didn't Get a View.
Facts worth Knowing.

y great many Tazewell people
were disappointed Wednesday night
in nokgetting n good view or Hal
ley's comet, the celestial body,
which has caused great deal of ex-
citement and conjecture throughout
the world. Several parties were
formed by the young people, who
held parties and played games and
otherwise killed time waiting for
the arrival of the visitor. On several
of the high hills near town Young
people assembled and built fires,
made candy, but not single
glimpse of the comet was obtained.
In other parts of the country IL is re-
ported that very fine views were OBJ
tained from the observatoIies by the
astronomers who followed the path
of the comet for several weeks.
