LOCAL NEWS.

Eugene Repass, of Bristol.
brother of II. A. Repass, of this
city, whose reported disappear
ance was announced in the pa
pers last Saturday, has been
located in st. Louis, Il letter TO
that effect having been received
by his wife in Bristol Tuesday.
Mr.. Robert r. Austin, of Blue
field, and Miss Martha e. Sink,
OF Graham, were married at the
Presbyterian Manse here at 1890
O'Clock yesterday morning by
the Rev. w. w. Arrowood. The
young couple slipped away from
their friends in Bluefeld and
Graham, giving no intimation
OF their intention, and the am
nouncement of their marriage
will come as quite a surprise.
John II. Gildersleeve and Ward
Gillespie are familiar with the
peculiar sensation experienced
by auto drivers when wheel
runs off at 80 miles per hour. a
Ford, which has seen many
summers, in which they were
driving last Sunday, flew into
space on the Grafton road, and
G. and G.. owe their existence to
a kind Providence.
Now that the road machinery
is nearby it would be an easy
matter to fix up the short piece
of road leading to the new Gem
etery. This road is almost i'm
passible in the winter time or
rainy weather. The ladies' of the
cemetery association have done
a great work there, but have
their hands more than full, and
should not be expected to do
more. They simply cannot. The
town and county should build
this small piece of road. The
county, as well as the town, is
concerned. If there is any avail
able fun dis in sight, or out of
sight, Chairman Daniels could
do no better thing at this time
than to build this small piece of
road.

Rally Next Sunday.

Don't overlook it--Rally day
next Sunday. Everybody in
some school next Sunday" is the
cry. Attend next Sunday any
way. A citizen reports that on
his way to Sunday school last
Sunday morning he counted six
teen children playing on the
street within sight of two
churches. They should have
been in some Sunday school.
Fathers of these children, in
nearly every case, were seated
on the front porch of their hous-
es, which may explain why
children were not in Sunday
school.

neral and burial service mani
tested the high esteem in which

tives and friends to mourn her
departure, but with resignation

Board Of Trade Makes Report on
Need Of Town in Sanitary Ar
rangeaents- Rods, Etc.

Sewerage. the general sanitary
condition of the town, roads.
and other topics of local interest
were discussed at the meeting of
the Board of Trade Tuesday
night. DR.. Isaac Fierce, H. Il.
Britain, w. l. Lee and j. X.
Gildersleeve, a committee ap-
pointed to report on a sewerage
system submitted a lengthy re-
port, which was read by DR..
Peirce. Among other things the
committee recommended the dis
continuance of the present sew
erage system of the town and
adopting the old style means of
disposal, until the town was in
a better financial condition, when
the much discussed route to the
river can be adopted, or some
modern method, such as the
aseptic tank erected for the pur-
pose. The report was passed up
to the city council for consider
alton. 1t is estimated that a bond
issue of at least $50, would
be necessary to provide an ade-
quate sewerage disposal system,
but in view of the present bond
ed indebtedness of the town a
bond issue for so large an
amount would be defeated, is
the opinion of many people.

Gentlemen: You have been
named as candidates for the
Legislature from your district
comprising the counties of Taze-
well and Buchanan, by opposing
political parties, the Republican
and the Progressive. Of course
only one Of you can be elected,
and that one, the candidate who
polls the largest number of votes
in November. The Democrats
have no candidate, and at this
writing there is little indication
that they will have one, in the
field. The Democrats may be
said therefore, to hold the bal
ance of power, or at least be
able to cast a vote which may
go far toward deciding the re-
suit, should they vote solidly for
either one of you.
Several inquiries have already
been made at this office from
Democrats as to what stand we
should take in this fight, or
whether we shall stand hands
off, and let the fight be made
between you and your followers.
We, the Democrats, wish to
vote. We want a voice in the
government, and in the absence
of any candidate of our own will
have to choose between "the
lesser of two evils" and help
elect one of you, and help defeat
the other.
Now, it is proposed to ask you,
and to give you the opportunity
to help US, decide for which one
of you, if either, we shall vote.
In this case it is no longer a
question of politics. Your poll
tics are alike Objectionable as
such, and will have no weight
in your favor in Richmond.
Therefore we must have reasons
otherwise for voting our votes"
this time, and you can help us
decide how.
We ask you to tell us, why
you seek this honor at our hands,
of being sent to Richmond as re-
presentatives of this people?
What are your reasons, pure
and simple, for seeking this
office? Are your reasons purely
selfish and personal or do you
seek the office, not for your own,
but for your countrys good.
What grounds have you for be-
lieving that you can "fill the
bilP' as we say, when you take
up the task of legislating for
these two great counties?
AS neither of you are known
as public speakers it is taken
for granted that you could not
if you would, reach the voters
through public address all over
the two counties, and if there
fore you do so at all you must
reach them through the news
papers, and the Clinch Valley
News invites you to speak
through it columns. In the mean
time we decline to make any
promises or pledges until we
hear from you. After that we
can better and more intelligently
determine which, if either of
you, we shall help defeat. Let
us, and your own followers as
we'll, know where you stand,
what you believe, and what you
propose to try to do as represen-
tatives of the counties of Taze-
well and Buchanan.

 Neighbors armed with guns and pitchforks went to the field where the deacon said the bear had been kill ius. his turkeys and had chased him. The bear had disappeared, but it was easy to see by his tracks that he was a very large one.
 For miles around Iedyard the roads are deserted after dark, as all are on the watch for Deacon Geer's 'Fblack bar"

Organ Recital

An organ recital will be held at the
congregational church Tuesday, Oc-
tober by Mrs. Frances Ross Rich
mond. organist and Mrs. Alice Hutch
inson Irvine, soprano. The new organ
is pronounced excellent by persons
who have heard it and are able to
pass judgment. Mrs. Richmond is
organist in the North Church at St.
Johnsbury and is an artist well worth
hearing. Mrs. Irvine, who is of
Lyndonville and who has sung here
before as Miss Alice Hutchinson, needs
no word of introduction. Her work
has been heard and enjoyed by people
here who will be more than glad to
hear her again. The Ladies' Aid are
very fortunate in securing two such
artists for the occasion and in con-
nection with the beautiful toned
instrument there is little room for
doubt that the recital will be we'll
worth hearing and every effort should
be made to attend. The general
admission is IS cents Tickets on sale
at Austin's after Friday.
