By S. T.. Golden.

Three weeks of play have been
staged I'm the Ohio State this season
and the Diggers are still on the top
rung of the ladder but by a margin
so narrow that the fall is likely to
come at any time and in all proba
bility will come during the next fort
night when Joe Lewis and his pas
timers will invade the camps Of the
enemy. But temprary fall from
the highest place does not mean that
Diggers arc going out Of the race, for
that old top will be within reaching
distance all the time. Nor will It be
surrendered without a struggle.
Diggers have not done as well asfans

| hoped that a commanding lead might
be secured during the home stay but
faulty play at times put the club
down when games should have
been won.
Yet there Is a lot of satisfaction to
be had out Of what has been accom-
pished. Diggers have gotten tuned
up very nicely and from this time

spots on my scalp and, OF course,

had settled there during the week.

Then at the end OF the next week
washed my hair again. and TO my
astonishment saw not only those
few but many more had come. Then
my head became worse and worse. and
my scalp started TO itch terribly. so
that could not sleep nor keep from
scratching my head
THE crustlike places later opened
and made sores which bled. and they
also itched something terrible, ! tried
many remedies but none helped and
instead they made my head worse.

MIR. ia. Leslie, jr., has developed

A few families have whooping cough

little boy, has been quite sick for n

AutmobiIe Accident

The first serious automobile smash
up of this section has occurre d. One
man was killed outright and several
others very seriously injured, and
fine machine wrecked. The accident
occurred in Blufeld few days ago.
OF course this or some similar serious
accident had to come. The speed bug
gets into the heads of the driver SOON
er or later. He becomes careless, ov-
er confident, reckless after a while,
and then, trouble. From newspaper
accounts the Bluefield accident was
the result of fast, careless driving,
and was no great surprise, it is said,
to those who knew the young man
who owned the machine. Now, let
everybody be wise and take warning.
There is no necessity for fast driv-
ing. There is no pleasure in it, either
and great danger from start to finish.

The Sunday School meeting at Grat-

success-so said everybody. The at
tendance was large. The church,

men and women, boys and girls of the
community.
The object of the meeting was.
chiefly, to organize district conyen-
ton, auxiliary to the county associa-
ton, which was accomplished as fol-
lows: w. X. Neal, was elected chair
man; Jonn p. Gose, Vice chairman

the South Clear Fork district meeting
Will hold its first meeting at the Cen

before the dth Sunday in October.
About thirteen teachers and superin-
tondents made instructive addresses.
One of the very best of these speech
es was mndc by Mr.. Felix Bourne.
one of the oldest and most faithful of
the teachers in the Mt. Olivet school.

The CuIpepper Meeting

The meeting at the Methodist church
has been in progress since last Sunday
and is still going on, with two services
daily-at 10 30 and 8 O'Clock. The
crowd in attendance has been large
at the night service.
Some disappointment was felt at the
failure OF Mr.J.B. Culpepper to reach
Tazewell, caused by sickness. His
son, Mr.. Burt CuIpepper, has been in
charge Of the service" holding the
fort" expecting his father on every
incoming train. Under these some
what embarrassing circumstances he
has gone on, and done well. He is
fine preacher and has pleased an at
tracted large crowds. The meetings
will continue.
