Several from Burkes Garden attended
the good roads meeting at Tszewell last
week. The men who expend the road
funds should be able financiers, men
whose judgment is safe and sound.
Moreover, it should be men who have
made success in life. $625, 900 is a
large amount and some of the good bus
mess men of the county should make a
sacrifice and accept these responsible
positions. So much is at stake
The closing exercises of Burkes Gar
den Academy were held last week. The
exercises were to some extent "Vir-
ginla Day" exercises. The songs, rec
itations, declamations and music were
good. Misses Mary Moss and Pearl

Howell read the Society Journal. -
-Four of the pupils debated one of the
live questions of the day: Resolved,
That Woman Suffrage Should be AL
lowed in Virginia The affirmative
won The poem, "Old Virginia" re-
cited as a class piece, captivated the
audience. Miss Margaret Greever
taught the music department.; Miss
Lucy Moss the primary, and Miss Vir-
ginia Barnes the art pupils. Mr. A. S.
Greever, the principal, is fine instruc-
tor.

Fair 6Tound Fire.

Fire broke out at an early hour this
morning in the ticket office at the fair
grounds and destroyed the Office, fence
and sheds along the road from the office
to the southwest corner of the grounds.
On account of no fire fighting facilities
at the grounds nothing could be done
until several parties from town who
went out in autos, buggies or horseback
tore out part of the fence and prevent
ed further spread of the flames.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
possibly hobo sleeping in the ticket
office tried to cook meal or keep warm.

be about $400. with no insurance.

The WOman's Club.

The Woman's Club held business
meeting on Tuesday at the club room in
the High School library. The election
of officers for the ensuing year resulted
as follows:
President-Mrs. W. G. Harrison.
Vice e-President-Mrs.G G. w. st. Clair
Secretary-Mrs. Henry E. Harman.
Treasurer Henry Preston.
The principal feature of the meeting
was the address by Mrs. w. G. Harris
son, who had just returned from the
meeting of the Federation of Woman g
Clubs in Roanoke, and who gave an ac-
count of the work of the Federation at
this meeting.
Mrs. HARRISON was the guest of Mrs.
M. NJ. Caldwell while in Roanoke, and
Mrs. Philip d. Moon, of St Louis, pres
ident of the General Federation of Wo-
mans Clubs, was also a guest at the
same place. Mrs. HARRISON was able
to give her hearers a pleasant picture
of the national president at close range,
and to speak by the card of the aims
and duties of the members of the clubs
in the Federation
The Tazewell club has never Joined
the Federation, but it's likely it will do
so in the near future.
Mrs. HARRISON gave q brief history
in New York, the parent of the Fedora
tion, and told of how it grew out of the
emitting of three prominent women
writer's from the banquet rendered
Charles Dickens on his visit to this
country, and of the wonderful growth
until now there is a club on every con-
tinent and many islands of the world.
Also of what she hoped to see the Taze-
well club do in civic work, how to keep
our city clean, to work with the schools
in training the children in civic virtues
and in bird protection.
The address of Mrs. Harrison was an
able one, and listened to with careful
attention by the members.
The next and last meeting for the
present club year will be held at the res
idence of the president on next Wednes-
day, when Rev. E E. Wiley will ad-
dress the club on Napoleon Bonapart.

once in his school work and not find

but will appear from time to time and
every teacher, parent or patron of the
school In the county should carefully
read the report and if you have any sug-

improve the proposed course of study
you should communicate it to the COM
mittee.
The report of the committee is as fol-
lows:
Realizing the Importance of a uniform
course of study for all schools in Taze-
well county; believing that by such a
course OF STUDY systematically followed
ID each public school, a more efficient
work will be accomplished throughout

Two interesting games of baseball
were played here Monday afternoon be-
tween the Tazewell Giants and the team
from the BIuefeld Colored Institute
Tazewell won both games, the first by
the score of z to and the second 6 to 4.
Both teams played excellent ball, but
the Giants outclessed the Institute boys
from start to finish. The feature of
the game was the sensational running
catch Of Justin Hughes of the Tazewell
team. The Institute team has chal-
lenged the Giants to play four games m
Bluefield during commencement week
at that institution, beginning June 7th.
The Giants Just naturally feel" they
have the four games cinched right now.

Baseball.

The Bluefield Covenanters played the
Tazewell High School ball team here on
last Saturday. The game was entirely
too one sided to be interesting, the score
being 26 to in favor of Tazewell. In

team did well, but they could not play
together. Batteries-Gillespie and King

Back 10 the Mine.

Tom l.. Lewis, recently beaten for
reelection for president of the United
Mime workers, is queer sort of labor
leader. He is actually going back TO
digging coal, after fifteen years of
union office. Even his much be-praised
predecessor, John Mitchell, since retir-
ing from Office has not seen fit to ex-
change silk hat for a miners cap and
lamp and it is mighty few other ex-
union officials who go back to the trade
after the easy chair experience. So
Tom Lewis, in applying for his old lob
IN Bridgeport 20. mine, is quite an
exception and a very worthy one.
