The Russell County Fair.
Mr.. Editor.-

Mr.. Editor
You asked me to tell you something
about the Russell county fair, but press
of time will not allow me to say all |
would like to say, but suffice it, / have
never been at a county fair that more
fully conceded with my views as to
what county fair should be. Really
you could read in the faces of all the
people that they each had an Individual
and personal interest in all that was 60
ing on.
Now, | wish to say something about
the live stock exhibit. The brood sow
of show quality was there; the lamb to
the best pure bred sheep; stock cows
from calf up; young bulls and mature
pure bred bulls of different breeds. that
would do credit to fairs of long stand
ing, and then, as the cap sheaf in the
cattle line, there were two car loads of
export cattle that any owner should be
proud of. Horses? l have never seen
at any county fair more creditable dis
play. Corn, hardly second to the corn
of the Scioto Valley was there, and last
but not least, the beautiful handwork
exhibited by the ladies' was simply
grand, and l wish / had time to say
more.
Respectfully yours.

A Gard From Or. GTeeyer.
Tazewell, Va, Sept. 26, 1911.

o. NCPbs ~, 1Oll.
Editor Tazewell Republican,
1t is indeed mortifying that must
again ask for space in your paper. This
seems again necessary that l may cor
rect more misrepresentation. Some of
the co-workers of my opponent are cir
culating and trying to mislead my Re-
publican friends by circulating a report
that the Democrats have dropped Mr..
5. M. Graham and have undertaken to
elect me.
Of this | know absolutely NOTHING,
except that understand Mr.. Graham
has declined to be a candidate. With
his being or not being q candidate
have had absolutely nothing to do, these
falsehoods to the contrary, notwith-
standing.
Right here let me say again, that
am now and have always been willing
to go into a Republican convention if
that convention is called, as it is in 9TH
er counties, to nominate Republican
ticket for all or as many of the offices
as the Republicans wish to ask for, but
l am not willing to go into one-corner-
ed convention that cares nothing for any
one except Mr.. Barns and myself.
AS to the Democratic vote, l hope to
get majority of them as well as a ma
jority of the Republicans of our county.
Would Mr.. Barns NOT TAKE THEM?
If both Democrats and Republicans see
cause to aid me by voting and working
for me l shall feel very grateful to them
for their support.
Now, say, let 1.-THE powers that be"
call convention to name Republican
ticket or stop bowling and circulating
these infamously unfair and UNTRUE
reports. To any fair mind, it is clear
that their objection to this kind of a
convention, is not "for party harmony"
or for the good of the Republican party.
but for motives greater and more far
reaching
again reiterate that have no coali-
tion, combination or secret understand
ing with either a Democrat or Republi-
can, but am trying to conduct this cam
paign open and above board, keeping
nothing secret or hidden. If l have
made any false or misleading state
ments, L earnestly request an exposure
OF the same, and beg every Republican
who has the welfare of our county st
heart and desires to see a square and
fair deal, to give me his support.
L sincerely hope that the would-be
friends of my opponent will cease max
ing their journeys to remote parts of
the county in order to circulate these
falsehoods. If Mr.. Barns or his friends
have any charges to make against me.
1t would be much more manly and gen
tlemanly to make them openly where 1
may have an opportunity to defend my
self.
Respectfully yours,
Adv. c. w. GREEVER.

METHODISTS MEET
AT MORRISTOWN
elghB-Elghth Annual Conference Will Con-
Vene There on Next Wednesday

The eighty-eight annual session of the
Holston Conference will convene at
Morristown, Tenn, on next Wednesday.
October 4th, with Bishop John C. KilQo
presiding and the Rev. J. A. Burrows.
who has served in the position so long
and faithfully, as secretary.
Bishop KIlgo is one of the newest
bishops in the church. He was former
ly President of Trinity College. Dur
ham, N. C.
Ihere will be a number of changes
this year on account of the four-year
limit both among the ministers and pre-
siding elders of the Conference having
expired.
Among the ministers, the following
who are we'll known here, are to be
changed: Rev. P. L. Cobb, of Bran
well; Rev. W. NJ. Morren, of Broad
Street Church, Knoxville, Tenn; Rev.
X. X. Sutherland, of Marion, and the
Rev 5. B. Vaught, of johnson City,
Tenn. The latter will sever his confer
ence relations as a minister to serve for
the next five years as financial agent
for Emory and Henry College.
The following presiding elders will be
changed on account of the four-year
limit: Rev. C. W. Kelly, of Tazewell
district; Rev. J. A. Straley. of Wytbe-
vile district; Rev. T. J. Eskridge. of
Abingdon district; Rev. George D.
French, of Morristown district, and Rev.
John c. Orr, of Knoxville district.
While the general sentiment among
the Methodists here is to have Rev. E.
E. Wiley returned, on account of the
number of changes to be made there is
no assurance that he will be sent back.
A way out of this dilemma has been sug-
gested by having Rev. Wiley succeed
Rev. Kelly as presiding elder of the
Iazewell district. Such a change would
give general satisfaction to the Metho-
dists throughout the district.

There were several things, not COM

pecial mention. The first, the rest
room, adjacent to the Woman's Work
Department, maintained by the ladies
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, where women could retire to
rest. The feature attracted more ia
vorable comment than any single feat
ure at the fair.
The display of minerals, although
started late, was good one, and served
to keep in mind the vast mineral wealth
of our county and section.
The display of insects injurious to
vegetation was valuable to the farmer
and fruit grower, and DR.. Isaac Peirce
who had this in charge, has donated the
exhibit to the Tazewell High School and
1t will become permanent object les
son to the rising generation.
The display of the Norfolk and West
ern Railroad was excellent, and reflect
ed great credit to the enterprising man.
agement of this progressive road.
All in all the fair was a great success
and every one connected with it, presi-
dent, secretary, executive committee,
superintendents, judges. and subordi-
nate officers who worked so untiringly
for the success of the fair, which means
the material improvement of this coun-
ty and section, deserve full need of
praise for their efforts.
