Getting Ready For Business

The Executive Committee of the
Laymens' Missionary Movement, met
on Monday night and heard reports
from subcommittee appointed and
transacted other business. The Com
mittee on arrangements, j. A. Greev-
er, DIR. John E. Jackson and DR.. r. p.
Copenhaver, reported that they had
decided to issue tickets to the supper.
the price of which will be SO cents.
That these tickets will be sent to
some representative man in each
church, who will be requested to sell
as many of them as he can. The price
of the ticket is put at SO cents, which
is as cheap as respectable supper
can be given for. There will be no
other charges whatsoever. The pro-
ceeds of sale of tickets will go to
paying for the supper. The visitors
and delegates to town will be enter
tanned Saturday night and Sunday
free by the town people. A strong
effort is being made to have a repre-
sentative number of men at this ban
quet. A church may have as many
delegates as it chOoses-the more the
better.
The Committee on Entertainment
was appointed as follows: w. Ed
Peery, Jno. Bottimore and j. Pow
ell Royal. This committee will pro-
vide homes in town and community
for all who come to attend this great
meeting, both on Saturday night and
Sunday.
The committee on Publicity, Geo.
w. st. Clair, w. G. O'Brien and j.
A. Leslie, reported that large cards
had been printed and placed in store
windows and other public places, both
in this town and in different parts of
the county.
Revs. Hall and Wiley were re-
quested by the committee to issue
statement to the public through the
papers, giving information about this
movement, ETC., which appears else
where in this issue.
The success of this great meeting
will mean much to this county, and
it's success depends entirely upon the
cooperation of the people generally.
Tazewell seldom "falls down" when
she undertakes anything, and will not
this time.
The meeting is called again for
next Tuesday night at 8 80 sharp, in
the Clinch Vally Insuran ance Agency
rooms.

The District Conference of last
week, was, say some of the leaders,
the most enjoyable and profitable held
for long time. There were larger
number of visiting ministers, repre-
sentatives of Boards, etc, than at
any previous meeting of the confer
ence.
Tazewell is regarded as'The Hub"
of the District, and it was but natural
that all the churches should gravi-
tate to the center.

1t was generally admitted that Mr..
McAlister's address on the liquor
traffic was the most mastery produc-
tion ever made in this town on that
sui ject. The facts presented were
startling, the manner of their presen.
tation forceful and powerful. His
withering and shattering arraignment
of the evils of the traffic, his state
ment and exposure of the hold this
octopus has upon the government and
upon the business interests of the
state, of the figure it cuts in politics
all, was startling, and put some
people to thinking.

dresses of the Convention were, DR..
Hearon's s opening sermon on Thursday
night, DR.. Shuler's and DR.. Frazier's
sermons at other times, and DIR. Nc
Allister's address on Friday night.
Each of these were great productions
along their lines. Of course Brother
Frazier had general handshaking
after the sermon, while the people
sang that old hymn our fathers used
to sing, "I'm Going Home To Die
No More" Somebody said, "sounds

Commenting on an Eagle paragraph
the Navasota EXaminer-Revew says:
Bryan has done more to disrupt the
democracy and turn it over to the
populistic and socialistic wing than
any other agency extant. And Wilson
is following close after" What you
call "the populistic and socialistic
wing" is the body of the democratic
donkey, while your little squad OF re-
dictionaries is the tail. Bryan and Will
son think the donkey should switch
the tail, and the donkey is going to do
that very thing.

Speaking of the proposition of the
New York bankers to finance the cot
ton crop, the Atlanta Georgian says:
zone thing, however, is certain: The
time has passed when the farmers of
the South will take for their product
whatever Wall Street bears and Eng
lish spinners see fit to offer, and do so
without vigorous protest and resist
ance." Here's hoping the Georgian be
a true prophet.

A Houston Post paragraph begins:
The Bryan Eagle, inclined toward
prohibition" etc. You misunderstood !;
The Eagle has no inclination toward
the principle of prohibition 1t is only
as a choice between the lawless sa-
loon and prohibition that The Eagle
prefers the latter as the less of the
two evils. Effective regulation is bet
ter than either.

Contrast the judicial procedure OF
Virginia with that of Texas, as illus
trated in the cases of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., and Burrell Oates: Beat
tie, the pampered son of a millionaire
aristocrat, was tried, convicted and
executed within four months ant
seven days after he committed an
atrocious murder. Burrell Oates, a
brutal, vicious negro, has seven times
been proven guilty of an atrocous
murder, at an expense of over $4,000,
and is still alive.

Texas City has the most modern
waterworks plant in the South. The
pumping machinery is electrically op-

is needed in the reservoir the turbines
start the pumping, and when the res

down, all without the aid of a human
being.-TeXas City Times.

nancler. Yet there were Whisperings
of a youthful romance and early de
parture from home. No one ever
dared broaeh the subject and 1t had
long since been forgotten.
As Charles Stearns gazed into the
fire in the library Of his home, the
flickering light seemed to recall days
of the past. In fancy he saw again his
boyhood home, his parents and ac.
quaintances. How little they had been
to him for so long a time!
Quarterly stipends he had supplied
to the old folks, yet he had never
needed the call they sent out for their
only son.
As the man sat musing, he spoke
aloud:
81 believe I am getting sentimental.
I think I shall surprise the old folks
and pay them a visit for Christmas. :"
A thought meant an act with
Stearns. His mind once made up, it
took much to change it. His decision
to return to the farm for the holiday
gave him pleasure. He could hardly
await the time when he was to start.
He bought presents for the old folks.
He remembered his fathers delight in
watches. One of the finest to be had
went into the satchel for him. The silk
for new dress made up a portion of
what he planned for mis- mother.
1t was a long journey to the old
homestead. The train sped onward
and each moment made the man more
anxious to see his people and the old
place again. But suddenly a thought
occurred to him and his face blanched.
He had forgotten; Stella Harrington
might still be there.
All the memories of the Ilast were
swept aside and he thought. only of
her
Once she had promised to make him
happy. AS he thought of that time, he
sighed deeply. She had altered his life
when she changed her mind at the
last and threw him over.
He recalled the jeers Of his boyhood
companions as they sReered their
rough witticisms at him. 1t was the
way Of the country and he could not
stand the finger Of scorn and had fled.
That was in the long ago and he had
almost forgotten-undl now.
AS the train stopped at the little
station on the hill it seemed as If
he lad left it only yesterday.
But nowhere was George White,
the old agent? A young man filled
his place. The driver of the stage
was another stranger. Old Eb Brown
