ENJOYED DIR. LLOYD.

The Graham correspondent to
the Bluefield Telegraph has to
say concerning the mission ser
vices held at Graham last week:
"rhose who attended the
services at the Episcopal church
Thursday night enjoyed the
expository preaching of DR..
Lloyd, of Big Stone Gap. The
theme was Salvation. I" The
text was based upon Luke's
gospel, 18th chapter, 10th verse.
Some striking thoughts were
CLEARLY and beautifully enunci-
ated, lowit; THAT every pro-
vision for the tiny babe ushered
into the world was already
provided for by the providence
of God-food, light. air, proteo-
tion-so lost sinners find a sal
walton provided and awaiting
them, which becomes theirs
when they claim it by faith.
Again having accepted this
salvation. reckon yourself a
child of God, and begin right
away to live and enjoy the
privilege of a child of God. y
The DOCTORS Illustrations were
very effective. Such messages
from such man of God are
bound to accomplish much
good"

Big Mineral
Deal.


biggest deed of trust ever han
died in the circuit court of
Floyd county was filed there
last week by the United Chem
zeal and Nickel Corporation
Company, the deed being made
in favor of the Bacon Trust
Company of Boston for $1,000, .
600.
This transaction has most
significant bearing, aud means
much in Floyd county, since it
is more than likely to insure
the completion of the Roanoke
Mt. Airy Railroad.
The United Chemical and
Nickel Corporation Company
owns thirteen large tracts of
land and has options on others.
These lands are said 10 contain
vast deposits of silver and cop.
per az well as other minerals.
The $3 900 600 will be devoted
TO the development o. the prop
critics
Mines Near Route OF Road.
The far-roachiug effect of the
deal consummated by tho cor
poration may be realized when
it is known that the right Of
way of the Roanoke Mt. Airy
Railrond which has been sur
veyed, passes within about
eight or nine miles of the
mines. When the mining in
dustry is developed. it alone
would be almost of sufficient
Importance to Justify the con
struction OF the new railroad.
The only additional require
ment would be a branch limo of
eight or nine miles to handle
the ore for the concern
r.. II. Angel, director in
the Roanoke Mt Airy Railroad
said yesterday that he had
been advised of the big deal
which was handled in Floyd
and expressed great satisfac
ton over it, saying that this
would mean much 10 the pro-
motion of the rond. He said
that the survey had been com
pleted and that the estimates
are now being made for the
cost of constructing tile ninety
miles of road.
1t is regarded rs a foregonC
conclusion that the opening OF
the mineral deposits in Floyd
would have wholesome effect
upon the financial situation az

cerned and would possibly

Interesting Figures.

The following Is part Of the last
annual report Of Prof. Graham of the
Ontario agricultural college:
There is an increasing demand for
well-fatted chickens; In fact, the de-
mand exceeds the supply and dealers
find themselves forced to fatten the
thin live chickens offered in the mar
kets In order to get the supply OF tat
ted chickens required by the trade
Dealers inform NE they can pay high
rentals for buildings and have sour
milk or buttermiik shipped in by ex-
press, and yet have nice margin Of
profit Surely our growers could do
this cheaper
During the past wear is depart.
ment has had over 60 different indi-
vlduals fatten chickens, and nearly ev.
eryone has been successful. The av-
erage bird gained about one pound in
two weeks feeding. Each bird on the
average consumed four pounds Of
grain and six pounds of milk. tor the
pound of gain made. Poor gains were
made from LeghorEs. Hamburgs and
such cockerels. These birds made fair
broilers. but unSatiS!a :torily roasters
TIC ration used consist OF one third
each of tirely-grounu oats. buckwheat
and corn This was mixed TO the con-
sistency OF pancake batter with sour
milk or Outtermilk The birds are fed
lightly during the first few days or un.
til their appetites become keen. after
which the ration is graduall-' increas-
ed to all they will eat But two feeds
a day are given, and as near equal
parts as possible. The chickens will
readily eat by lampl:ght. If there is
s.cret to the process at all it is in
