Usinu Christian Names.

A vulgar habit Is prevalent among
young girls. that of too freely using the
Christian names Of their young male
acquaintance. Girls when grown up
do not use the Christian names or nick
names of young men unless they have
some special reason for so doing.
An intimacy Of years may be an e1.
cuse for retaining the use of the Chris
tan name, for when Angelina In a pig

ers It. Is difficult to become suddenly
ceremonious. But acquaintance OF a
few months standing-unless q love
affair has changed the position of the
parties toward each other-is no ex-
cuse for excessive familiarity.

Crochet Mats.

When oAe has a polished mahogany
table care must be taken to protect its
surface from heat and moisture. Even
when a heavy material is used under
the tablecloth 1t is hardly sufficient
protection. One can buy asbestos
mats, but they are not dainty and soil
easily. Better than these are mats
crocheted from macrame cord. These
can be made either oblong O. round.

A Mans Devotion.

Womanly dignity will always receive
respect. Yet how many wives are
there who do not demand respect of
their husbands. They ask for ad-

mans nature will not cling, will not
be constant. when he cannot look up
to the woman he loves.
The mother who permits rudeness
from her sons. the wife who permits

new FAIR CIRCUIT
INCLUDES TAzEWELL

AT meeting of the representa-
tives of the County Fairs of the
State and of the State Fairs, held
in Lyncbhurg on Feb. 9Th, a number
of changes were agreed upon, among
them being withdrawal of Galax,
Tazewell, Radford, Roanoke and
Lnychburg Associations from the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Georgia Associations,
with which they have been co-operat-
ing for number of years, and a
new circuit formed, known as "The
Virginia Fair Circuit. - The officers
elected are: j. H. Patterson, Peters
burg, President; j. H. Flippo, Secre-
tary and Treasurer.
The dates fixed and agreed upon
are as follows:
Galax, Sept. 6-S; Tazewell, Sept.
12-14; Radford, Sept. 1921; Roam
oke, Sept. 26-29; Lynchburg, Oct.
3-6; Richmond, Estate Fair), Oct.
9-16; Emporia, Oct. 31-Nov. g;
Petersburg and Danville, Oct. 17-21 (;
Suffolk, Oct. 24-27.
Mr.. H. G. Pobst, secretary of
Tazewelf Fair Association, was in at
tendance. 1t is believed that the
changes will be for the good of The
Tazewell Fair Association in more
ways than one. Some effort was
made to have the meeting here placed
later, but this could not be done,
without serious conflict with other
fairs. In order to secure attractions
as well as horses and stock circuit
must be formed which will permit
short jumps from one fair to another.

Mystery in The Ninth.

While the campaign was on in the
Ninth district last fall one of the
big party men was seen by an oppo-
sition champion. 1t was agreed that
they should repair to room in To-
cal hotel and talk over the matter of
haying the way made easy for. the
big leader to desert his old time
friend and champion the opposite par
ty. The meeting was held all right,
and when the gentlemen met in the
hotel and there was a talk of finances
the interest of the man who was to be
spared was apparent. In some way
the man who was expected to be will
ing to use his influence, after being
convicted, got his singals fixed before
hand. A stenographer sent to the
room got under the bed, and there in
the dim light, almost suffocated, he
followed the conversation. The affair
may come to the courts for explana-
tion. just which party interested in
the affair was doing the bidding it is
not yet made clear, but there arc
some of the prominent men in the
Satate who have the inside facts oi
the matter. Richmond cor. to Roam

Rowdyism On The Street

Recently there has been entirely
too much rowdyism and boisterous ca
pers on the street in front of the ho-
tel and postoffice. There is great
deal of complaint. Boys-choose these
places to. wrestle, box, slap hats,
throw rocks, and "kick up Jack"
generally. Strangers and visitors to
town are astonished that such conduct
is permitted. One day this week a
business visitor to town came near
being struck by stone thrown by a
school boy, and one of our own citi-
zens lacked only about two inches of
stopping stone thrown which struck
the hotel porch where he was sitting.
The visitor inquired at once if the
town had policeman, and if so, why
he permitted such conduct. 1t isn't
sufficient excuse to say that the boys
are "thoughtless," and that "boys
will be boys" all of which is true,
but boys, the ages of these should not
be so thoughtless' as to be reck-
less and make nuisances of them
selves. Better stop at once.

The Currier Lumber Company is
considering the advisability of ex-
tending their narrow guage road
from Pound down the river to the
mouth of Brush Creek, and perhaps
up the Creek to Clintwood. 1t is
thought the road will be thus extend

This road would give the merchants
along the line and in the adjacent
sections an advantage in transporta-
tion. Most of the people along the
proposed route will gladly lend a

Mr.. Glass, we might cast our lot with
him. Senator Swanson is a"goodun. -

champion of many, hard fought battles

Governor in 1905? And when he was
elected in the primary again in the
general election, did he not go on to
Congress and draw his pay until q

Mr.. Jones won't resign. neither will
he be elected, unless something ter

Senate Adopts Prohibition

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 7.-The
senate today by : vote. of twenty
three to seven adopted resolution
submitting the prohibition amend
ment to a vote of the people. This
action came swift and sudden and the
victors were as much surprised with
the result as the vanquished.
The resolution submitting the
amendment was made special order
for 2 80 this afternoon and when the
hour for action arrived there was not
even standing room in the gallery
and the sergeant-at-arms had much
trouble in keeping enthusiastic spec
tators from forcing their way upon
thetfloor of the house. When the re-
suit was announced there was O DEM
onstration such as was never before
seen in the halls of West Virginia
legislature. There were cheers and
cheers and long continued volume
of applause.
The senate resolution does not COM
ply with the house measure, in that
the former prohibits after July / ,
1914, while the measure adopted by
the house prohibits after July l.,
1913. 1t is entirely probable that the
house will surrender and make it
1914, according to the senate plan.
Lack of concurrence on the part of
the house is the only hope left to
those who oppose submission.
The adoption of the amendment re-
moves the most momentous feature of
legislation and ordinary topics will
now have liberal consideration.
Both sides had big lobbies on hand
and no doubt will continue them un-
til the end of the session to see that
there are no fiare-backs on the one
hand, and to see if they cannot yet
do something on the other.

HUNTING.

In November we begin hunting.
We get some of our friends and 90 to
some place where there is plenty of
game. We take our dogs with us and
fox chase and coon hunt. We some
times take tent along and camp in
some place suited. We sometimes
hunt day and night and are only in
camp long enouhg to get our suppers
and breakfasts. We take our dinners
with us. We have coon, fish and birds
for our meals when we have good
luck hunting. When we have hunted
until we are tired we rest up a few
days. While we are resting we pick
the banjo and sing and just have a
jolly time. Then we go hunting
again. Sometimes the dogs tree
coon and we have to cut the tree and
the coon sometimes gets away. We
have been hunting a good deal but
never have had the luck to kill a
bear or deer.
