Is 1t a doner ?

In answer to number of inquiries
the editor states with regret and
disappointment, that his apple butter
stirrer has not been returned and no
information received up to this writ
ing as to its whereabouts. The search
has been abandoned. The editor hopes
that the tried and faithful implement
of torture may have fallen into good
hands and that it will be treated
we'll. If, as the shadows lengthen,
the purloiner of said stirrer should
become conscience stricken, as he or
she as the case may be, newt
ably must. sooner or later, and the
implement is still in good condition
as when borrowed, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, it may be returned and
no questions will be asked, particu-
larly if it brings nice crock of ap-
pie butter along with it. The editor
has in mind to write learned article
on "Apple Butter Stirrers Have
Known z" He-m may do so if there ap-
pears demand on the part of the
public for such an article. The price
of the Clinch Valley News is only one
dollar year. Remit by postoffic,

William Oscar HoIIey

In memory of William Oscar Hol-
ley. who entered into the "Heritage
of Saints" on January a, 1912.
In the midst of life we are in death.
In the passing to the life beyond of
this chastened Christian friend and
borther, we feel some word is due the
memory of his useful life. He, as a
member of our League, when Mt
home, never failed to inspire us to
nobler efforts. We always felt greatly
encouraged and benefited for his hav-
ing been with us. He was young
man who aimed for the highest, and
noblest things in life. In early youth
he gave himself to Christ, and from
that time his faith never faltered.
While he has quit the Shores of Time
IN the whirl of this changeable life,
we believe that his soul is basking in
the smile and eternal sunlight of God.
we feel if he could have uttered a
word, he would have said: at is
Gods will" We. as members of the
League and Sunday School will great
ly miss his tender counsel, and en-
couraging smile. We feel that our
loss ia Heavens gain, and extend q
the bereaved family our greatest
sympathy. We hope to meet him in
that fair cline beyond this vale of
tears.
One less at h ONE,
The charmed circle brokenl
A dear face missed day by day,
From it's accustomed place,
But cleansed, and saved, and per-
fectod by grace.
One more in Heavenl
One less ut home;
A sense of loss that meets us at the
gate
Within n place untitled and desc
late,
Our coming to await,
One more in Heavenl
One more mt Home
That home where separation cannot
be!
That Homo where none are IN issed
eternally;
Lord Jesus, grant us all u place
with Thee,
At Home, in Heaven.
-Epworth League.

Protect The dane.

A bill passed by the Legislature
few days ago makes it unlawful to
Kill game in this State of any kind
whatever. This bill was rushed
through as an emergency measure,
on account of the long spell of severe
weather, which If not soon over will
materially decrease the game in the
State by starvation. The hunters and
sportsmen should see to it that the
law is observed in their commmuni-
ties to the letter, else there will be
no game next year. The law should
be continuous for at least two years,
and permit of large increase in the
game birds and animals.

COUNTRY PAPERS
ARE THE BEST
Have More Influence For
Good Than Big Daily
Good ad. Medium

Arthur Brisbane, the highest paid
EDITORIAL writer in the United States,
writing in the New York Evening
Journal says:
This newspaper has tried occasion.
ally to emphasize the value of the
thousands of local newspapers that
attend to national police work in this
country.
1t is surprising and rather discou-
raging to note. how little is done by
the big advertisers to support the
publications upon which this country
relies for it's political morality and
its material progress.
This newspaper does as much for
itself as it does for the local news
paper when it tries to emphasize the
local newspapers value. Every indi-
vidual. every newspaper, every con-
cern of every sort in the United
States depends on the general pros
perity and average intelligence of
the country.
And the prosperity and the intelli-
gence of the country depend upon the
work done by something like 10000
newspapers, most Of them small and
poorly paid for their work, through
out the United States.
This newspapers, and especially
those in the smaller towns and villa
ges, deserve the strong support of
every individual and power interested
in the prosperity of the United Sta.
tes. That fact cannot be emphasized
too often.
1t shall be emphasized and repeat
ed in this newspaper and in the other
Hearst newspapers until the great
manufacturers and advertisers come
to realize that they neglect the most
important agency of distribution at
their command when they neglect the
10 cal newspapers of the country.
If other metropolitan newspapers
fail to give credit to local newspapers
SO much the worse for them. They
are neglecting an opportunity to build
up the country. Every locality needs
it's strong. well supported local news
paper, protecting the local interests
in it's neighborhood.
The editorial columns and the news
columns of the local newspaper are
today what the town meeting used to
be in the old days. In the local news
paper the citizens meet mentally and
discuss and think along the same
lines.
The editor is the presiding officer
of an important local gathering. He
is the custodian and protector of local
interests. the daily or weekly inter
prefer of national and international
events.
He is the school teacher for grown
ups, the man who uses his eyes, his
ears, his knowledge of the country,
his powers of observation for the ben
eft of the busy men and women a
round him. The day will come when
this work will be recognized and re-
warded as it should be. And this
newspaper will be very proud to have
had a hand in hurrying along that day

Tuesday. Farmer was leaving the
county and State, when arrested on
the train by MIR. Johnson.
The difficulty is said to have arisen
between the boy and Fletcher over a
settlement for work done by the boy,
when the boy, with pound weight
taken from the scales in the store,
threw it Mt Fletcher and struck him
just above the left eye, bringing
blood, and causing a painful and ugly
wound. After the difficulty Farmer
