The funeral services of Joseph w.
Moss, whose death was announced in
the last issue of the News, occurred
at the home on Main Street Sunday
morning at IL O'Clock. conducted by
Rev. j. N. Harman, assisted by Rev.
l.. e. Wiley. At the conclusion of
the service at the house the interment
was made in Maple View Cemetery.
The procession, which followed the
remains to the cemetery, was one of
the longest seen here in years. There
were So vehicles, and great many
afoot, besides two packed street cars.
Mr.. Moss death occurred in the
Johnston Willis hospital in Richmond
Friday morning, from heat stroke,
indirectly produced by an operation
for appendicitis. DR.. Johnston and
his assistants at he hospital resorted
to every means known to medicine tn
save the life of the popular Tazewell
man. Mr.. Moss was conscious up to a
moment before he died. He asked the
attending nurse for drink of water,
and Immediately after drinking it he
expired.

BRO. KELLY Will
HAVE TO MOVE
Four Year Term of Presiding
Elder in Tazewell District
Will Expire This Fall.

The Midland Methodist publishes
set of resolutions commendatory o
the work of Presiding Elder, Rov
c. w. Kelly. which were passed b,
the conference recently held here.
This is Mr.. Kelly's last year on this
field, and his preachers and brethren
voiced their appreciation of his work
and their regret at losing him, in n
set of appropriate resolutions. and also
presented him with beautiful and
costly umbrella as token of their es-
TEEN. The Clinch Valley News even
II little late, gladly makes public
here the thoughtful and commendable
action of the conference Not only
the Methodist brethren but the entire
town and county have just apprecia-
ton of this Woodworking, earnest Pre-
siding Elder, and will miss him when
he is gone, and trust his lot may be
cast among as pleasant surroundings
and less arduous toll than here.
This is MIR. Kelly's fifth circuit,
covering 20 years. He has always
remained the full four years on his
field. The Tazewell district is one of
the very hardest in the district, and
wisely. MIR. Kelly, who was found
capable to do the work, was kept Mt
it his. full term. and would be return
ed, no doubt. if the laws of his church,
which arc as interchangeable as those of
certain proverbial ancients, permitted.
Mr.. Kelly stays in town Mt his home
but very small portion of his time,
so much 30 as to give his ncighbors
little or no opportunity to borrow
things from him, and hence we don't
know just what kind of neighbor he
ID. The presumption is that he is
fine one. or would be if he stad at
home long enough to loan things.
You must borrow things to test the
neighborly qualities of your neighbors
Ask n neighbor to loan you his lawn
mower, scythe, hoe, horse, wheelbar-
row, meal sack, or other useful
implements, or let your wife run over
for cup OF sugar, or a little coffee
or flour, which she forgot to order
and then you can tell who's who. But
that brother Kelly is genial, cultur-
ed, electricity filled, cheerful citizen,
and broad whole souled Methodist.
no one will doubt who has rubbed
against him.

Crop Outlook Good.

The wheat and oat crop, after all,
is good. Reports from different sec
tions of the county are very favora-
BILE. The straw is short but the head
is said to be we'll filed. After all, the
drought of May and June, thought to
have ruined everything, except corn,
did no great damage except to mead
ows. The average man is fearful,
doubling hereto, anyway, a regular
Calamity howler," as the politicians
say. The Tazewell people, as we'll as
Southwest Virginia people. live in
the most highly favored section of the
land, and still many of them are dis
satisfied and always growing" and
finding fault. Everybody should be
grateful for this abundant land and
its advantages.

Who Is"Prominent?"

This question is asked: "What do
you mean when you say that a man
is leading citizen? What and who
is leading citizen?" The question
is proper one. Certain characters
are often designated as "eading"
citizens. The answer to our friends
question would seem to be easy. A
leading" citizen is one who leads.
He goes in front-others follow. He
may not be rich man, but if he is a
leader of men he is "leading' cit-
zen. We use the expression loosely
when we term man leading citi
zen just because he is rich or other
wise prominent in the public eye.
Sometimes the expression is used of
men who never led anbyody any
where. They may have been "drv-
ing" citizens, but this is different
altogether from leading" citi en-.
If man is taking front rank in good
works for the benefit of the public, if
he is planning and striving for the
betterment of his community in NOR
ais, in commerce or religion, if he is
going in front as best he can, and
leading the people forward and up
ward, he is leading citizen. The
same may be said, too, of the mar
who leads people downward. The sell
fish, grinding oppressor isa leader, but
his lead is downward. Leaders ir
Church and State are few, and badly
needed. All of us are ready to follow
but few are qudalified in head ant
heart to be leaders of men. We hope
our friends question is answered sat
isfactorily. "a leading citizen" i.
one who leads. He may be "promi
nent" and still not leader.

New Fashion In Gloves

Are we to have new fashion in
gloves? A certain prominent lady in
town, on her way to Pisgah to the
Methodist picnic last week had this
experience: She opened her handbag
to get her gloves. She drew out what
she supposed was pair of gloves, al
though they did feel little bulky.
What do you suppose she found ?
Nothing more nor less than pair of
her husbands grey socks! Needless
to add, that the articles of footwear
disappeared quickly in the recesses of
the handbag, but not before the keen
eyes of a sister who can appreciate
the ridiculous side of things, and the
joke was too good to keep, and so it
has leaked out.
Our sister is wondering still how
the sox got there. and who put them
there. Her husband is mute, and the
affair is still mystery. If the affair
had occurred in church, for instance,
what would have happened?

HELP is WANTED
FROM THE COUNTY
Tazewell Has Benefited BY
Childrens Home Society and
Should Make Contribution

Rev. MIR. Kahle, the efficient finan-
cial agent of the Childrens Home So.
ciety, of Richmond, has been in the
community several days this week ir
the interest of the great work in
which he is engaged-a work which
appeals to all that is tender in human
nature. This society has taken 41
homeless and helpless children from
this county, and placed every one of
them in happy, Christian homes,
transplanted them from the slums and
almshouses into homes of cleanliness
and decency.
Mr.. Kahle has been appealing to
the Supervisors of the counties to
make appropriations to the support of
this work. Three counties in South
west Virginia have made appropria-
tions to this good work. They reason
that this society has relieved the
taxpayers of the expense of caring
for these children, besides, in the
end, of taking care of them in the
prisons of the county, as nearly all
the criminals come from this neglected
class. Tazewell county has been asked
for an appropriation, but just what
the county will do is not known. Mr..
Kahle has laid the matter before
proper authorities. The cost of each
child to the society, according to MIR.
Kahle, is $15 per year. Since its or
ganization, about ten years ago, the
Society has placed about one thousand
children i'll good homes in Virginia.
1t can be readily seen that the cost, in
dollars and cents, is comparatively a
trifle. The natural conclusion is that
the Board of Supervisors of this coun-
ty, if they have the money, will
make an appropriation to this most
worthy object.

Mrs. Hall Painfully Injured

Mrs. S. o. Hall, wife of the Pres
byterian minister, had the misfortune
to fracture an arm by fall Tuesday
morning, from which she has suffered
greatly. The wound is compound
dislocation of the elbow, and very
unusual, but serious fracture. The
flesh on the inside of the arm at the
elbow was cut severely by the bone
proturding, producing very serious
as we'll as painful injury. Mrs. Hall
was walking in the back yard at the
Manse, and it seems, stepped on a
slippery stone and fell. Putting out
her hand to save herself, her entire
weight fell upon this one hand and
arm, pressing the bone forward at the
joint of the elbow, with above result.
A great deal of sympathy and inter
est is felt for this good aud popualr
woman and for her entire family. The
physicians are hopeful of her speedy
recovery,

nothing little about him. He was

Russell Stirred.

Russell county has been in ferment
for several weeks over the omission
from the voting list of some seven or
eight hundred people, who claim the
rig hit to vote in the county election
this fall. The citizens who were dis
qualified petitioned the Judge of the
Circuit Court to be placed on the list.
1t is alleged by the Treasurer of the
county that the reason these persons
were left from the voting list is that
they did not pay their poll taxes in
person, as the law directs. The citi-
zens disqualified claim to have the ev-
idence to disprove this charge, and
will also prove that great many of
the disqualified voters paid their tax
es in person, and that the motive for
leaving them off was not to comply
with the law, but to insure the re-
election of the present county office re-
in Russell But If reports are correct,
such will not be the case when the
votes are counted this fall The vot-
ers of the county have become stirred
as they never were before, and many
of them, who have heretofore voted
the Republican ticket have pledged
ther support to the Democratic ticket
1t is estimated that out of the eigh
hundred men left off the voting list
seven hundred of them are Demo
Gratis. The feeling against the partie
responsible for this turmoil in Rus
sell is said to be intense, and the in
junction which Mr. Slemp gave tn
voters of Buchanan county in the las
Congressional fight, will doubtless b
resorted to if the matter is no
Strengthened out.
The Democratic candidate for Cler
in Russell is Everett Combs, who wa
a student at Tazewell College year
ago, and is remembered by man
Tazewell people. He is said to b
very popular in Russell, and is conf
dent of his election.

Good Road Work

George w. Wynn, overseer of roads
for Burke's Garden, was here on
Tuesday and called to see us. Mr..
Wynn has been doing fine work in the
Garden in the way of road repairing.
Burke's Garden has one fine road, but
in the winter the cross roads and 9TH
er parallel roads are just so--bad
enough. MIR. Wynn has been taking
advantage of the fine weather to put
the roads in his district in good shape
for the winter. And, while we are at
it, the farmers by taking little time
and trouble to throw loose rocks out
of the road, or haul them to mudholes
COULD improve thei roads wonderfully V.
The aveage country road is full of
loose rock, some very large ones,
which makes travel miserable. Every
man could we'll afford to move the
stone from the roads in front of his
own palce, and if the next one would
do the same the roads would be much
better. But, instead, people will bump
along from one years end to another,
ovre rocks and through mudholes at
their very doors and front gates, too
busy, too lazy. or Indifferent to take
an hour or two to move them. They
must havn't thought about it. This is
to remind such. Have some thought
for your own comfort and that of the
people, too, even if you cant see 6
dollar in sight.

pertinent and found that we were correct.
 "The price of 25 cents for gen. eral admission has come to stay so far as the Sells -Floto circus is concerned. 1 do not know what other shows intend doing, because even yet, there are very few be lievers in our methods. It is hard to convince the average man in the show business that it is pos sible to make any money at tbat price when one has to charge S3000 on the debit side of the ledger for each days performance. Last year we were eminently successful and we expect history to repeat itself through the coming season.
 "The Sells.Floto circus will reach here on the 9th day of April and again announces many novel features such as have never been seen in public before. Our parade, 1 think, will convince the doubters as to the quality of the entertain ment we have to offer. Our patrons can rest assured that our perform ance will be the best they have ever seen us give. 1 think we have always tried to keep faith with our public. Our object is to grow in the affections of the people and the only way we can do that is by endeavoring to give full values in every way"
