GRAND MASTER
VISITS TAZEWELL
Head Of The Masonic Body in Virginia and
Others Of High Rank in The Order Were
6ueStS Of the Lodge Here SatuTdaY.

On last Saturday, Grand Master W.
B. McChesney, of Staunton, Grand Mas
ter Of Masons in Virginia, accompanied
by Deputy Grand Master W. L. An
drews, of Roanoke, and Grand Lecturer
George W. Wright, of Marion, paid
visit to Tazewell Lodge No. 62.
Tszewell Lodge will be sixty years
old next January, and this is the first
time in its history that Grand Master
has ever visited the brethren here, and
the reception given the Grand Master
and his companions on this occasion will
long be remembered by both the visitors
and the members of the fraternity here.
The guests arrived from Norton on
the 1890 train Saturday morning, and
were taken for a drive over the new
macadam roads in the early afternoon.
The first meeting of the Masonic
bodies was held at 2:3O p. m, when the
newly organized Order of the Eastern
Star met in the Masonic Temple. Mr..
Andrews, who is also the Grand Worthy
Patron of the Order in the State. was
present at the meeting, and expressed
himself as both pleased and surprised at
the progress made in the work by the
members of this newly organized body.
In the evening there was a meeting
of Tazewell Lodge No. 81, at which
time the Grand Master and his compan-
ions were received with the beautiful
and impressive ceremonies of the Order.
After brief period of speech-making,
In which the visitors expressed their ad-
miration at the progress being made in
the great Southwest section of the
State and pleasure at the warmth of
the reception accorded them since reach
ing this section, the local team of the
Lodge conferred the Masters degree on
a candidate in a manner that brought
encomiums from the visitors.
The visitors and brethren then re-
paired to the new banquet hall of the
Temple where an elegant repast wss
served by the sons of Masons.
The visit of the Grand Master was.
by far, one of the most important
events that has occurred in Masonic
circles here for some time. There was
large outpouring of the fraternity.
some eighty guests being seated at the
tables; and the talks of the visitors will.
no doubt, do much to revivify the inter
est in the Order here.

OFFICIAL COUNT
CHANGES RESULTS
Republicans Made Almost Clean Sweep of
County Offices Notwithstanding Unofficial
Figures Indicated Otherwise.

The official count of the vote of Taze-
well county cast in the election of Tues
day, the 7th, furnished many surprises
and reversals of the reports of the day
following the balloting as to who were
the winners, when it appeared from the
returns received up to late in the after
noon that the Democrats had captured
the Commissioners of the Revenue as
well as the Board of Supervisors. La
ter returns and the official count, how
ever, show that all the Commissioners
OF Revenue elected are Republicans,
and that they also have one member of
the Board of Supervisors.
The official vote of the county is as
follows:

On motion the report was accepted
and ordered spread on the minutes, and
the chairman appointed C. r. Brown,
w. G. O'Brien and A. ]. May as a COM
mittee to audit the books of the treas
urer.
The secretary treasurer then made
report on the cost of the racing features
of the 1911 fair, and reported the net
cost of same to be 81, 1874 O6. This re-
port precipitated an animated discus
sion as to the desirability of continuing
this feature of the fair, and opionions
varied from cutting out racing altogeth-
er to continuing the policy of offering
liberal purses and getting good horses
here. Between these extremes were
some who favored limiting the races to
county horses, or to this and adjoining
counties, while few proposed to sub
stitute running races for the harness
entries, as being cheaper and more in
teresting. After much discussion, the
following resolution, offered by Barnes
Gillespie, was adopted by vote of 16A

Resolved, that the board of direc-

of church work. Services will be held
every Sunday morning at 1920; Sun
day School work will be conducted
from 9:15 to 1890. The prospects of
the field were carefully considered
recently. Two members Of the Mis-
sion board, pastor F. c. Fritz, promin-
ent in Brooklyn in church work and
Pastor F.. Schimm from Manhattan,
looked over the field repeatedly and
We're convinced of its Importance, and
of the splendid opportunity for Lu-
therans to gain a firmer foOthold in
the New England States. In view of
these facts it is the object of the Sy-
nod to use its full force in developing
this field. Lutheranism in the past has
not had very much understanding and
appreciation in the New England
states, although in numbers it is as
large as all Protestant bodies combin-
ed. This is easily explained by the
fact that till recently the main work
of Lutherans in America was carried
on mainly in the German tongue, and
1t was therefore enormously consid-
cans. But of late years the Lutheran
church has taken its deserved place
also amongst English-speaking people
in America and is receiving the credit
and the appreciation worthy of it's
splendid achievements socially and re-
Hgiously in all Protestant countries
The success of the Lutheran church
is largely due to the thoroughness
and simplicity with which it carries
out its religious work.

PARASOLS AND FANS
FOR SUMMER GIRLS.

'"The girl who does not include at
least two or three parasols and fans
in her summer wardrobe is a very
unusual girl these days. If she is the
smart, up-to-date American young
woman she should be, she knows that
she can often depend on her parasois
and fans for just the right finishing
touch. to light summer costume.
She, therefore, gives as much time
and thought to their selection as she
does to the other accessories in her
summer outfit" says Edith Weiden-
field in Woman's Home Companion for
May.
Last year parasols and fans
matched and were in the same bright
tones as the sash of the gown or the
big ribbon bow on the picture hat
with which they were carried.

in bright tones do not match the
gowns with which they are carried,
