East Virginia Corn

1t used to be said that Nottoway
county's chief product was broom
sedge. sasafras bushes, and and rab-
bits. Not SO now, however. judging
by a specimen of corn grown there
received in this Office few days ago.
The ear is full ten inches long, six
teen rows of fine, solid, we'll matured,
deep grains. The corn was grown by
LMr. Macht, farmer and merchant
Fat Crew. At the State Fair these
eastern counties had fine exhibits OF
splendid grain. Old Virginia is com.

SUNDAY SCHOOL OF
SOUTHWEST VA.
Meeting Auxiliary To State
Convention Held In Pulas-
XII Last Week.

had the pleasure of attending the
Sunday School convention of South
west Virginia, which met in Pulaski
last week. About sitxy delegates
were present from schools in nine
counties. The object of holding a
sectional convention in the Southwest
was suggested first by Tazeweii
man, who saw that the counties west
of Roanoke, numbering eighteen,
were not being represe, ted in the
annual meetings of the State Associa-
ton, owing to distance, expense, etc, i,
and it was decided to bring a section
of the State Association to the people
of the Southwest. I his first meeting
was very encouraging one, State
Secretary Diggs ana State President,
DR.. Church, 10 whose guad sense and
hard work the convention is due,
were gratified at the result of the
Pulaski meeting.
A suggestion was made to still fur
ther facilitate the organization of the
Southwest by inviting contiguous
counties to meet with the Tazewell
County Association in it's annual
meeting next July. Bland, Russell,
Buchanan, Dickinson and Wise will
be specially invited and urged to send
Mt least five delegates from each
county to Tazewell next July, at the
annual meeting here. Every county
in the State must be reached. says
Secretary Diggs, and this will be
done.
Further announcements will be
made later In the meantime the
workers who chance to read these
lines can be thinking it over.
The wlsest and best men of the
State and the world are behind this
great Sunday School work and are do
ing all they can to make il go
The addresses by such we'll known
people as DIR. Phillips, General
Superintendent of the Sunday School
work of the Presbyterian church; Dr.
w. w. Hamilton, pastor OF the
Baptist church of Lynchburg; DR..
Fix, of Roanoke; Mr.. Baker, of the
Richmond Y. M. C. A; DR.. Shell

Miss Dean, of Richmond, State

sion; Miss Binford, editor Inter
mediate Lessons of the Presbyterian
church committee; DR.. Mcconnell, of

Rev. Mr.. Mathews, the vigorous
young pastor of the Presb yterian
church, left nothing undone Ito give
all the visitors good time. Pulaski
is city of magnificent distances,
progressive and prosperous-but time
is up and space is out. j. A. L.

Turkeys For All

When little town like Tazewell,
Va, ships 81 carloads of turkeys to
market in one day, our anxiety in
regard to Thanksgiving dinner is re-
moved. 1t may come high, but there
will be white meat and dark meat fol-
all around the table, and a big drum
stick for baby to play with. Cranberry
is not to be omitted, but the best
thing to bring to the table with turkey
is hunger sauce. Baltimore Sun.

Resolution

The frat object of the Daughters
of the Confederacy Is to honor and
reverence the Confederate soldier
living or dead. Last week we paid
our tribute to Capt.C A. Fudge,
this week another son of the South,
MIR. Henry G. Anderson, has "crossed
the bar"-we will miss their SYM
pathy and counsel in our work mex
pressibly-while we grieve for them
most sincerely, we exult in their
heroism and bravely and proudly
claim them as our heroic dead. We
placed upon their biers the wreath of
evergreen, draped with the Con-
federate flag, typical of cur undying
reverence for them and for the prin-
ciple for which they fought.
