trying to set to the fire on the out
skirts OF the city,"
Mr.. McLaurin stated that IL was
utterly impossible for the city TO
purchase a fire engine this year. All
revenue for this year WAS already
pledged, and he was not i'm favor Of
violating the law by ordering things
that the city had no means of paying
Tor. He was in favor of getting the
equipment. but advised that IT be
postponed until next year.
Mr.. Glenn stated in answer to this
proposition his original motion. He
said that IL the bids were received and
gone over at the next meeting Of
Council II would be the first of Feb
ruary before the automobile fire en-
gine and hose wagon could get here
as IL would take not less than 90 days
TO get II here from the factory and
Ii would have to be tried out for 80
days following its arrival, before its
acceptance.
Mr.. McKeiver pointed out that it
was the automobile combination fire
engine and hose wagon which was
needed. He pointed out that it was
on the outskirts of the city that fires
were most dangerous. where the wa
ter pressure was not sufficient OF it,
self TO throw a heavy stream of wa J..
ter on the fire. He thought that it
would be economy to purchase the
combination engine which could fbe
connected up right away upon its ar
rival az the fire and the pressure ap-
piled.
There was some further discussion
before the motion was called for and
passed unanimously.

INVENTION TO SAVE FARMERS
New GuanO Distributor Invented by
n. G. Ellerbe of This County.

II
N. G. Ellerbe of This County.
Mr.. n. G. Ellerbe Of Hagood, thi.
county. Is the inventor of a new kinC
OF guano distributor which he ha.
used for one year and which he ha,
found to do the work Of two ma.
chimes with half as much labor.
| The distributor is something new
and Will. II Is hoped. when put on the

farmer one-half of the work I'm dis
tributing his fertilizer. 1t Is mad,
so that 1t will drop the fertilizer in
two rows or on each side of the cot.
ton or corn at the same time, thus
saving the farmer the labor of one
mule and man. The machine is &C
arranged that 1t can be heightened
cut or drawn in nearer together &c
as to distribute the two streams OF
fertilizer at any required distance. II
has two fifty pound hoppers, which
make 1t the equal Of any two ordi.
nary machines. 1t is light and can
easily be handled by one man.
The machine Is very much on the
same style as the Victor mixing ma.
chine. which has three hoppers and
mikes the fertilizer as 1t distributes
II along the rows. But whereas the
Victor machine distributes only one
stream Of fertilizer. the Ellerbe ma
| chine does not mix the fertilizer, and
distributes two streams Of the fertiliz.
er. Whereas both are labor saving
devices. one saves the work Of a hand
outside OF the field. the other saves
the work Of a hand and mule In the
field.
Mr.. Ellerbe stated Saturday tha
he had applied for a patent but as Il
would probably be more than a yea,
before II was secured the machine
would probably not be on the mar.
ket for number Of years. He sale

Littons, of Lee to Prosecute slemp

A special from Norton of recent
date says: "The killing of young
Cleveland Litton few days since in
Lee county by c. IL. Slemp has caus-
ed the greatest excitement perhaps
that was ever known in this entire
section, owing to the prominence of
the families of both young men.
1t seems that Slcmp and Litton had
not been on friendly terms for some
time. and when on last Saturday, Lit
ton, accompanied by his sister, was
returning home from the county fair,
passing tho house of a MIR. Lloyd, n
young lady, Mr.. Loyd's dauhgter, in
sisted on their stopping a while. Lit
ton finally decided to stop few min
utes, leaving his sister still on her
horse, AS he entered the house young
S'emp said something to him TO which
Lltton did not reply, whereupon Slemp
struck him on the head with his pis-
tol knocking him down on the pore h
and then dliberaty shot him through
the heart, killing him instantly.
Slemp made his escape that night,
after he had been arrested --
Litton's friends Immediately offered
reward of $1,000, for his capture
and he was caught early Sunday
morning by officers The Iitton's of
Lee county are wealth yand will pros
ecutc the case to the fullest extent.
Young litton is prominently con-
nected in Wise county, being noph-
ew OF Mrs. Creed +. Flannary, of
Wise Court house and brother of
John Litton the hardware merchant of
Norton. He was just nineteen years
old. Slcmp also belongs to n promi-
nent family. His father is postmas-
ter mt Pennington Gap and is first
cousin of Congressman Semp. of the
Ninth Virginia distaict.

been expended.

Deen expended.
The court is further of opinion that
this feature of the statute in no wise
effects the bond as Il direct county
obligation; nor can it retard the en-.
forcement, or collection of the bonds
from the county directly, but empow-
ers the county of Tazewell, as IA cor
porate body, to force and collect the
levy of tax on the property of the
district for the prompt payment of its
part of the county's obligation. and
for the reimbursement of the county.
should it have to pay any of said
bonds-that it is matter between
the county and the district, which is
one of its constituent parts, and not
between the holders of bond and the
county.
The defendant, by his counsel, states
in open court, that he had no other.
or further defense than that inter
posed by his demurrer.
Wherefore, the court being of opin
ion that the bonds, which were pur-
chased by the defendant, were legally
and properly issued, it is considered
by the court that the plaintiff recover
of the defendant the sum of three
thousand sixty dollars. with interest
thereon from the first day of August.
1911, until paid, subject to credit
of thirty dollars paid by the defen-
dant at the time of the purchase of
said bonds, to wit: on the 22nd day
of September, 1911.
1t is further ordered that the three
bonds filed with the notice i'm this
proceeding shall be delivered by the
clrek of tbs court to the Treasurer of
Tazewell county. and upon the pay
ment of the sums of money set forth
to the Treasurer of Tazewell coun ty,
that the said Treasurer deliver the
said three bonds to the defendant. c..
j. Moss.
1t is further ordered by the court
that the plaintiff recover of the de-
PENDANT its cost in this behalf ex-
pended, TO which ruling and judgment
OF the court the defendant. by his
counsel, objected and excepted.
Memorandum The defendant, by
his counsel. stated to the court that
he intended TO apply to the Supreme
Court of Appeals of this State, or one
its judges. for a writ of error to this
judgment of the court, moved the
court for stay of execution of said
Judgment for ninety days, in order
that he might apply to the court for
such writ of error and it is consid-
cred by the court that no execution he
issued ON this judgment. but that the
same be stayed for period Of ninety
days for the application of said writ
of error upon the defendant giving
bond in the penalty of fifty dollars,
with security, before the clerk of this
court, and to be approved by him.

Many a Tazewell Citizen Knows
How Sure They Are.


Nothing uncertain about the work
of Doan's Kidney Pills In Tazewell.
There Is plenty Of positive proof of this
in the testimony of citizens. Such
evidence should convince the most
skeptical doubter. Read the following
statement:
Mrs. Maggie Rigney, of Tazewell,
Va, says: ~ am glad to confirm the
public statement | gave In 1907 In
which / recommended Doan's Kidney
Pills. During the twenty-five years
that 1 suffered from my Kidneys, 80
many remedies failed to check the
trouble that become discouraged,
thinking nothing could reach my com
plant. / am now firmly convinced
that there is one preparation effective
enough to cure 1idney trouble and
that is Doan's Kidney Pills. My com
plant came on by gpells and the great
est dislress was caused by dull, dragg-
ing ache between my shoulders. At
times L was almost helpless rnd it was
impossible for me to get my rts st. The
Kidney secretions were also a source
OF annoyance and showed that my
1idneys were In fault. When ] heard
about Doan's Kidney Pills, / got q
supply at Jac1son's Drug Store and
after falling them, felt like different

This Offer Should Be a warning
To Every Man and woman

To Every Man and woman
The newspapers and medical
journals recently have had much
to say relative TO famous million
aires offer Of a million dollars
for new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the con-
dition of his stomach. He allow
ed his dyspepsia to run from bad
to worse until in the end it be-
came incurable.
His misfortune serves as a
warning to others.
Every onh who suffers with
dyspepsia for a few years will
give everything he owns for a
new stomach.
Dyspepsia is commonly caused
by an abnormal state of the gastric
juices, or by lack of tone in the
walls of the stomach. The result
is that the stomach loses its power
to digest food.
we are now able to supply
certain missing elements--to help
to restore to the gastric Juices
their digestive power, and to aid
in making the stomach strong
and well.
we know that Rexall Dyspepsia
