STORM DOES DAMAGE.
lightning Plays Havoc With Wire
Service in City and County.

The electric and rain storm which
struck Kenosha just at midnight Fri
day night seems to have done a good
deal of damage in and about the city.
The wires of the Kenosha Electric
Railway company were broken down in
several parts of the city leaving this
territory in darkness during the early
hours of the morning. The country
lines Of the telephone company were
hard hit and many phones were out of
order in the rural districts. In the
city there were number of lines dis,
abled, but all of this trouble was clean
ed up before noon. South and west of
the city the storm was more violent
than in the city and wire service in
Chicago was crippled. 1t is thought
that some big building west of the city
was struck by lightning as the fremen
saw a fire to the west, but no reports
Of such a fire were brought to Keno
sha.

BETTER NEXT YEAR

The Clinch Valley News is not such
paper as its Editors wish it to be.
nor perhaps as it ought to be. If the
Editor had moro money and brains "a
put into it, it would be different
and better paper. However, it is
gratifying to hear number of good
people say, "you are making a good
county paper. - Others 20 SO far as
to say, 1.-The paper is better than it
has ever been. F." 1t is the hope and
expectation of the Editor to make the
paper better next year. In every way
possible the paper will try it's best to
help things along.
The Editor has reached that stage
in life now where he cares little for
pers onal preferment, and, if he knows
himself, desires to be helpful to other
people. Money is a necessity, but
the man who gets only money out of
his business or calling, is very poor
man indeed. So, we clsse the year
with gratitude to a kind Providence
and host of loyal friends, and also.
with hope and determination to do
better should life be spared another
year

From some well exploited pen,
Echoing the ancient presage,
Peace on earth. good will to men.

Here is one on cholera;

And the cure of the insane.

COMPAN MUST
PAY HURT POLICY
South Atlantic, Which Re
sisted Payment, Loses Suit
in Tazewell Circuit Court.

The suit of the heirs of the late
j ohm B. Hurt against the South At
lantic Life Insurance for a life insur-
ance policy, which has been ON trial
in the Circuit Court here, resulted in
a verdict in favor of the heirs. 1t is
understood that an appeal will be
taken to the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Hurt, whose body was found
near his home at Pounding Mill on
the 9th of last January, with bull
let hole in his temple. and pistol
lying by his side, had taken out a
life insurance policy for $5, 900 about
SIX months previous. The policy con-
tanned the usual clause about suicide,
and upon this clause the company re-
sisted payment of the policy. The
law, however, places the burden on
the company to prove that insured
had killed himself. This the company
did not do, according to the verdict
of the jury.
Evidence was introduced which
proved that Mr.. Hurt was not him
self for several weeks before the
tragedy, and the revolver found by
his side was the identical one he had
kept in the store.
John B. Hurt was one of the most
popular and beloved men IN the
county, and the tragedy caused wide
spread sorrow throughout this section.
