TOWN RECRETSs.TO
LOSE {. {. WILEY
Popular Tazewell Pastor Will Serve
Bluefeld Church Coming Year.
Many Other Changes.

News reached Tazewell early
in the week from the Holsten
Conference in session in Cleve-
land Tennessee, that Rev. DR..
Wiley, VINO has been pastor of
the Methodist church here and
at North Tazewell for the past
four years, had been assigned to
Bland Street church in Bluefield.
This entire community gave
Mr.. Wiley up with deep regret.
He has not only done fine work
here for his church, but in all
respects had endeared himself
to all the people. His qualities
of head and heart are Of the
highest order of excellence and
saint and sinner" respected
and loved him. His successor
will find that the field here has
been well titled. DR.. Wiley turns
over to him a fine new church
building, a united and consecrat-
ed band Of workers, and the next
four years should mark great
growth in the church here.
The material, hard work of
building a new church, and gett-
ing things in shape has been
done. and now, there will. be a
strong effort to build the spirit
ual structure, full and strong.
Mr.. Wiley's pastorate her was
epoch-making in the history of
Methodists the removal of the
old church which had stood for
so many years, and its replace
ment by splendid new building
of modern style and equipment
was no small undertaking, and
marked the passing out of the
old into the new era of Method
ism in this section, with which,
through all time, the name of
Mr.. Wiley will be lovingly and
honorably connected. Bluefield
is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing him as one of its citizens,
and the pastors of the city as
a co-worker. AS he cannot be in
Tazewell everybody here is glad
to know that he is near by.

Robert Moss, of Burke's Gar
den, was here the other day and
reported that he has about four
acres of alfalfa, sown in front
of the cultivator at last working
of his corn, in July, and has a
perfect stand. The alfalfa is
now about twelve inches high,
completely hiding the ground,
corn stools and all, is so fine and
green as to look almost as black
as your hat" Governor Hoard
and the editor of this paper are
not the only people, Mr.. Davis,
who have alfalfa growing in
corn rows. Sowing in corn at
last plowing has never failed in
this section to insure a good
stand and growth where the
corn had been carefully cultivat-
ed. Now watch "tall Bob" cut
three fine crops of fine hay next
year, while his neighbor just a
cross the fence cuts only one of
timothy and not very good tim
othy at that. Mr.. Moss will not
clip the crop but let it fall down
as protection from the winter.

In as much as the editor pub

one of the readers of this paper
Col. Us. Browning, about alfalfa
no apology therefore woulc
seem to be necessary for. the
following from Mr.. Davis, from
the other point of view:
Leesbury, Va, Setp 80, 1913.
My Dear Mr.. Leslie:
| was just about to write to
congratulate you upon the hearty
fashion in which you are push
ing better agriculture in your
rich beautiful section, when |
received copy of the Clinch
Valley News. Your undertaking
is the more difficult because of
the wealth of your people and
the fertility of your soil. One
can t tell such successful people
that they are not doing we'll,
but one may argue to so intelli-
gent a clientele that with differ
ent methods they could add to
their present abounding wealth.
was much pleased with your
country and your people and
must confess that the combina-
tion was a revelation to me. 1t
is my earnest hope that may
be again in Tazewell.
When riding about with Mr.
Lacey Tynes he took me to see
your farm" With the excep-
tion of Governor Hoard of Wis
consin, your are the only man
know who has alfalfa between
his corn rows. l think that the
fact that alfalfa will grow when
sown by you at the last work
ing Of the corn is proof positive
that Tazewell is a natural alfalfa
country, and / suggest that it
would be good thing for you
to write to some of the agri-
cultural papers upon the subject.
| know it would have great
weight with any western people
who thought of coming to Vir-
ginia, as the highest ambition
of the westerner of to-day from
the standpoint of agricultural
achievement is the ownership of
an alfalfa growing farm.
Thank you very much for
your very handsome mention of
me in the News. / am sure if
we will keep pulling together
that we shall add mach to the
prosperity of the State and the
happiness of our people.
Hoping to see you some time
at Morven, with kind regards,
Very truly yours,
Westmoreland Davis.

Mr.. G. A. Wagner, of Blue

ness Mr.. Wagner has erected a
large silo and has it filled. His
idea seems to be to sell fat cattle
in the spring. 1t is said that the
silo is gradually growing in fav-
or in this section. j. G. Buston,
the dairyman. has two if not,
more silos well filled for his
dairy cows this winter. No

to run his business without a

A Young Old Man

Mr.. Patterson Davis, Burke's
Garden, was here on Monday,
Just for a ride, I" with DIR. Hicks
and his granddaughter, Miss
Ethel Pruett. The remarkable
thing about Mr.. Davis is his
strength and sprightliness in
spite of his age. He is Cd years
old, perhaps the oldest man in
the county. He has lived in
Burke's Garden all his life, all
of which has been spent on his
farm, in the open. His habits
have been temperate. He has
drank neither liquor nor coffee,
and lived "the simple life" 1t
is said of him that he can do a
good days work on the farm
now, even at his advanced age
"a contented young old man, as
bright and hopeful as a boy.
Speaking of uncle" Pat Da-
Wis, Burke's Gardens youngest
old man," he enjoys the rare
pleasure of having seen Halley's
comet twice and remembers dis
tinctly its appearance here more
than ~ years ago. Mr.. Davis
was a young man, about seven
teen years of age. Is there
another person anywhere in the
territory covered by the Clinch
Valley News possessed of such
experience? If so, we would be
glad to have his name and ad-
dress,

Good Results of Rally Day

Considering that no great
effort was made here to increase
attendance on Rally Day, last
Sunday, the results We're good
The following increase in attend.
ance over the preceding Sunday
was as follows:
Methodist-29; Presbyterian,
18; Baptist, 16 Christian, IL.
No report has been received
from the Episcopal School. The
total increase foots up IA. This
Is as large a number as the
largest regular school in town
except the Methodist. If an
effort had been made as might
have been, the results would
have been easily doubled. The
church folks are, with few ex-
ception, not working at" this
bus'ness-only playing with it.
No reports, except one, have
been received at this writing,
from the country schools. Mr..
ID: W. Lynch's school reports an
additional attendance of 10 over
the preceding Sunday. This
number would have been in
creased but for absentees who
had left the community for
school.
The Baptist Sunday School, of
this town is the only one so far
reports, which remembered the
request for a small collection
for the work in the County and
State. The county work does not
need much money, as everybody
gives their time and labor free,
but does need a small amount
for printing cards, stationery
ETC., now and then. The state
work needs money to carry on
the great work, and each school
is asked to take even a small
collection once a year. Not too
late yet. Send a small amount
to MIR. c. Walter Steele, treasurer.
A small amount from all the
shoots will help, and burden no
one.
Besides the change at the Main
street church here and at North
Tazewell, the following appoint
ments were made by the Holston
Conference last week:
Presiding Elder ID. P. Hur-
ley; MaXwell-E. c.. Smith;

Queer People

People are queer. When a man
gets in debt to his groceryman
and the groceryman wants his
money, he is likely to fall out
with him and quit trading with
him and go to abusing him
When he gets behind with his
rent and the landlord wants his
money, he falls out with him
and moves. When he is behind
with his Church, he falls out
with the pastor and quits COM
ing to church and wants a new
pastor. When a board of stew
ards gets behind with the past
or's salary they quit the prayer
meeting, the like as not fall out
with the pastor. Yes, people are
queer. Midland Methodist.
