PLANS FOR HELPING
TOWN OF TAzEWELL
President Harman, Of Civic
Legue, Outlines What
Should BE Done.

A meeting of the Civic Improve
ment League of Tazewell was held in
the courthouse Tuesday. night, at
tended by small number of the
citizens of the town. Nearly half of
the number present were Ladies. The
meeting was called to order by the
President, Mr.. j. N. Harman, who
stated the object of the meeting,
which was to devise ways and means
of identifying and building up the
town.
Mr.. Harman stated that he mad
been resident of the town of Taze-
we'll 20 years; that he knew the
towns needs as we'll as any other
citizen now living here-knew where
it stands up and where it falls down.
The speaker stated that the only hope
for Taze we'll was to make it a res
idence town-that the towns remote
ness from the railroad precluded any
idea of making Tazewell n manufac-
turing town. Residents could be at
tracted from the coal fields and from
the country, who would bring their
families here, where they could have a
nice quiet home, with climate unsur-
passed anywhere, pure water and pure
mountain air. The coal field people
and the people in the country con-
stitute the present visible supply, in
so far as increasing the popul alton of
the town is concerned.
MIR. Hartman stated that the town
should offer educational advantages
that would attract p eope here. "We
have a splendid school building, and
should not be satisfied with the
children of the town, but should reach
out to different parts of the county.
To accomplish this a dormitory would
have to be erected that would ac-
commodate those who wish to come.
AS the matter now stands, Tazewell
offers no boarding houses to those
VINO wish to come and educa te their
children or send them here to be
educated. The only solution of the
broad question lies in the erection of
building especially for the purpose,
as in present conditions board is too
high, and cannot afford to be paid by
those who need the benefit of the
school," The speaker suggested the
purchase of the old HARRISON lot on

Death At Falls Mills.

Falls Mills, Dec. 4.-Miss Mar.
garet Hereford, age 1S, years, the
only child of MIR. and Mrs. II. S.
Hereford, died at her home near Falls
Mills November 25th. and was buried
in the cemetery at Pocahontns the
9th. Services were conducted by the
Rev. Samuel w. Moore. of Bluelield.
Miss Hereford was member of the
Presbyterian church and the services
were conducted by her pastor. She
was n member of the Falls Mills
Union Sunday School, but had been
unable to attend for almost year.
Miss Hereford was loved by all who
knew her. We cannot understand WHY
she Was taken so young, unless the
flowers are picked before the frost,
that we may not witness their decay
We extend our sympathy to the
bereaved parents. We can only say,
His will, not ours be done, - and
live so we will meet her "where no
storms ever beat on that glittering
strand, while the years of eternity
roll" F.B.

What Is Your ldeaP

Everybody who has anything to do
with the county Fair and many others
also who do not, realize that it is not
what it should be-not what it might
be. rs vital force of uplift to the
agricultural interests of the county.
Every loyal. good citizen of this
county would be delighted to see the
Fair great success, greater than IL
has ever been. As matter of fact.
while the annual meets and exhibi-
tions have been creditable they have
not anything like 30 much so as they
should have been. Other county Fairs
in the State have far surpassed ours
in numl&r and character of exhibits.
and in helpfulness to the people con-
cerned. But, the important, burning
question is, what are we going to do
about it? Are we going to do my
thing? Is the Fair good enough as it
is? What changes or additions, if
any, should be made. If the readers
of this paper consider this matter
worthy of attention they are respect
fully requested and invited to express
themselves through this paper. The
Fair Association is entirely welcome
to advertising thes, replies will
afford. absolutely free.

Main street. and the erection there of
suitable building.
The need of closer social relations
between the people of the town and
country and visitors to the town was
emphasized. "The town should pro-
vide places of rest and amusement for
the country people: places to hitch
their horses, and keep their buggies
free of the weather.
When the farmers of the county
come to town they should have a
convenient place to sit down and rest.
The business houses of Tazewell are
the finest in this section. and the at
fractions should be such that people
from the sections adjacent would
want to come to Tazewell to buy
their goods, instead of going to Blue
field or some other point. The slogan
should be Go to Tazewell and Get
What You Want "
Sheds for horses, playground for
children, a town hall for shows,
speaking, ETC., were mentioned by
the speaker, all of which will be
given due consideration at the proper
time, MIR. Harman suggested the
plot of ground back of the old Jail
property for use as n park, and MIR.
A. S. Higginbotham and MIR. Harman
were designated as committee to
confer with the Board of Supervisors
and see on what condition the Board
will turn over the ground to the
town. Several committees had been
appointed to report at this meeting,
but as they failed to do so. their re-
ports will be received at the next
meeting, when the matters under
consideration will be disposed of

Misses Jennie Pearl Wagner and

New Highway Association.

The Bristol-to- Bluefield Highway
Association suggests that meeting
be held in Bristol December goth, to
consider the scheme, and talk the
matter over. December Goth is too
early, and too near the holidays, and
later date should be fixed, say,
sometime towards the last of January.
Also, it has been suggested to the
Highway Association that this con-
ference be held in Tazewell, as the
center Of the territory. and have the
commission send representatives here.
1t will be easier to get Bluefield,
Graham, Lebanon and Bristol to Taze-
we'll than to get the whole bunch to
Bristol. This is an important matter
more 80 to the outside than to
Tazewell, really, inasmuch as Taze-
well is now or soon will be pretty
well connected with Bluefield, and
only about d miles of road unprovided
for from Tazewell to the Russell line.
Russell is building this way. Just
how far Russell has built or provided
for towards Tazewell and necessary to
connect at the Russell line is not
known, but it would seem that the
Highway COMMISSIONS greatest
work lies between Lebanon and Bris-
tol. Of this territory and condi tion
nothing is known in this office. The
Bristol-to- -Bluefield scheme is entire
ly feasible, it appears, and it Is to
be hoped will be pushed. The confer
ence, we feel sure, should be held at
Tazewell, as we see it now.

POUNDING MILLS
NARROW ESCAPE
Thousand Pounds of Dynam-
ite And Caps Roll Over
Embankment.

Pounding Mill, Va, Dec. 8, 1912.
What might have been one of the
most appalling disasters was averted
through the Divine Mercy of God
when on last Friday about O'Clock
wagon loaded with one thousand
pounds of dynamite and box of caps
went backwards over an embankment
of Is or 20 feet taking the driver,
MIR. John Lowell and the team of
mules over with it. One mule failed
to pull and the other could not hold
the wagon, the ground being rather
steep and very slick. The accident
occurred few feet east of w. b.
Steele's residence. Mr.. Lowell sus-
timed two broken ribs; he held the
brake and mules until he landed
bumpl against the railroad ties. The
mules were unhurt and only the coup
ling pole behind broken. Many of the
citizens were almost scared out of
their wits, many praised God for
saving them from an awful death and
their houses being blown up. Truly
the Lord has promised to take care of
his children, which he did in this
case.
