The trials and handships OF the
Moore family in the early DAYS
of the settlement of this country
was nothing exceptionally usual
for the day and time, but they.
perhaps, suffered more than
some of the other pioneers. The
story of the massacre and the cap
ture of the family of CAPTAIN
James Moore is one of the sadest
in the history of the early settle
ments.
1t was in the early morning of
July Ia, 17S6, that a band of
forty Shawnee Indians descended
upon the home of the Moores.

children and a man by the name
of Simpson, and capturing Mrs.

Eternity
Somewhere the river of eternal

Somewhere the river of eternal
life
Flows crystal clear beside a
great white throne;
Somewhere, my soul beyond this
earthly strife,
Sweet music swells within a dis
tant home,
Upon whose streets of gold the
dawn above
Has risen in an endless day of
Somewhere there is calm, the
tempests cease,
The waves lie still upon the
oceans breast;
Somewhere an angel, STOPPING,
whispers, Peace"
And, 10! the ships pass safely in
to rest,
While from afar the glory of the
throne
Falls on the weary voyagers
coming home.
Somewhere the heart has ceased
to throb in pain,
The bitter tears have all been
wiped away;
Somewhere our lips will learn
another strain,
To mingle with a new, glad
melody,
Till through eternity the JOY
full song
Is echoed by a countless white
robed throng.
Somewhere my Saviour, too, will
wait for me,
With nail pierced hands out
stretched to bring me home;
Somewhere the anthem of eter-
nifty
Across the tossing pillows
shall be borne,
To still my fears until the storm
is past,
And in the calm my ship comes
home at last. AMANDA B.

Award of Scholarship Prizes

In connection with the Inter-
county High School contests held
at Marion in June three boys
and three girls took a competitive
examination for scholarships
offered by a number of Virginia
Colleges. Only graduates of four
year high schools from the class
of 1913 were eligible. The sub
jects covered in the examination
were mathematics, history and
English. The questions were
made out by high school teachers
from counties not represented
by the contestants and the papers
were graded by specialists un-
acquainted with the contestant
and the schools represented.
For the boys, the highest
average grade was made by Mr..
Nickel of Glade Spring for tie
girls, Miss Elizabeth Arnett of
Bethel High School, Washington
County. The other contestants
were Herbert Stone, Wytheville;
Mercer Williams, Rural Retreat;
Ora Hand, Damascus; Mabel
Barclay, Wallace.
Mr.. Nickel and Miss Arnett
have the privilege of deciding
whether they will take advant.
age of the Scholarships offered by
the colleges. If they cannot avail
themselves of this opportunity
the prizes rightfullysfall to Mr..
Stone and Miss Hand, as the
next in succession. The grades
for both the boys and girls were
very close
This contest has stimulated
interest in High School work,
and if continued it will tend to
standardize the course of study
and the character of work done
in the different schools of the
district. 1t will reflect honor for
evey school to have representa-
tives in the next contest.

An Unexpected Opportunity

From an editorial article in the
Clinch Valley News we infer that
Mr.. j. w. Chapman, of Taze-
well, would accept the nominal
ton for the legislature should a
unanimous call come from the
Democrats of Buchanan and
TaZewell counties. If Mr.. Chap
man will, under any circum-
stances, accept the nomination,
not only the Democrats of those
two great counties of the south
west, but the voters of every po-
litical faith and persuasion, have
reason to congratulate them
selves. We confidently believe
that he would be elected by an
overwhelming majority. Regard
less of party ties the people
would flock to his standard az a
matter of sectional pride. BY
birth, bent and training he is a
man of high intellectual and
moral type. Elected to the Vir-
ginia legislature, he would be
from the outset one of its most
powerful infuences-one of the
leaders. What a rousing vote
TaZewell would give him! The
NOMINATE him! - Blueficld Daily

Early History Recalled

Captain D. B. Baldwin was in
a reminiscent mood yesterday,
due possibly to the fact that The
coming of a visitor to his home
recalled stirring fact in the dim
distant part, when the early set

the savage Indian tribes. The
visitors at the home of Captain
Baldwin is Miss Mary Moore, of
Tazewell, a namesake and direct
descendant of Mary Moore, of
Abbs Valley, who was carried
away by Indians in the year 1856,
and granddaughter of the late
William T. Moore. The latter
was the son of James Moore, who
was himself held captive by the
Indians, being taken prisoner

BAPTISTS FLoURisHED
 ONCE IN cHEsTERFIELD
But Church There Has DwindIed in Numbers With Changing Popula- ton.

At all of the important meetings of Connecticut Rapttsts of late the neces- sity of meeting the new conditions that have arisen in this state on account of the change in the nature of the population has been emphasized. Communities that comparatively few years ago were almost entirely com posed of native born are now in the scendants. Perhaps no place in this vicinity shows the change more, as far as the Baptists are concerned, than Chesterfield, where most of the old families have died olrt or moved away and the names on the rural free deliy cry mail boxes are almost entirely those of Hebrews
 At the recent meeting of the New London Baptist association, at Quaker Hill. J. F. Brown furnished a history of the Baptist church at Chesterfield, which brought out many interesting facts in regard to the organization. The Chesterfield Baptists were once very f1ourishing Now the member ship has dWindled to ten, four men and six women keeping up the organ ization. For a considerable period the church was closed, but five years ago 1t was reopened and through the ef- forts of Rev c. c. Chappell of the
  services are being conducted there every Sunday afternoon, and the at tendance and interest is all that could be expected under the circumstances. The church property is valued at $l,0O0 and J. F. Brown of Montville is clerk of the organization.
 Society First Congregational.
 In his historical sketch of the church MT Brown states that the gen Ill, Tor m the petition of Jonathan Lattimer, Jr., and others of New London and Lyme, formed an ecclesiastical so- ciety and called it Chesterfield. The church was Congregational and building was erected for house of worship in 1773, Rev. MT. Avery be- ing the first pastor After 1776 the meetings were carried on largely by the Baptists. An attempt was made to reorganize the church, but it failed, and the New Lights or Separatsts built a church in 1924, and there was a large ingathering of members.
 Pastors and Their Work.
 MT. Browns sketch gives the fol- lowing facts in regard to the pastors and the condition of the church:
 The first pastor was Elder Oliver Wilson who off1ciated from 1924 to 1881. At the association meeting in Norwich in 1925 the church reported a membership of 55. In 1926 at the meeting in this city the number en- rolled was given as 69. At Colchester in 1927 the number was 115; at Lyme in 1928, 11S- at Lebanon in 1929, 121; at Salem in 1880. 166; at Waterford in 1881, 16D.
 In September. 1925. the church voted to join the New London association and elected delegates to attend the session in Norwich.
 Rev. N. E. Smaller served the church as pastor from 1882 to 1885. He was followed by Elder Jonathan Miner, who served for one year at a salary of $20g.

 Question of Salvation or Loss.
 When you go in to teach the tenn perance lesson next Sunday realize that it is a question of life here and hereafter, he said. When you face this question you face the souls of those bound up by their appetites. When you warn the boy you may save his soul for Heaven; if you let him go, you may leave him to drop to hell. It is the everlasting far-reaching question of his salvation or his loss. Will you miss the chance that when you go to Heaven one will reach out a hand to you and say: You saved me Nov. g, 1913; you don't know it, but know it?" Don't go at the tenn perance lesson carelessly, wishing that you had some other lesson to teach; remember that there are souls in the balance. You may do your best and your pupils may listen, but through it all must come the grace of God through his will Get ready for the lesson. teach 1t through the grace of God and win the victory
 The Great Commission.
 The Great Commission was the sub ject of the address by Rev. Ernest Der. Miel D. D., of Hartford who took as his text the words of the great Commander: "Go and teach. He urg- ed that all should Ego and teach" that there should be family nowhere without the message of hope and faith and that the church should not feel responsible for it's parish alone, but for every family and individual in the state. Be not satisfied, he said with instruction which fails to reach the in- telligence of the boys and girls you teach. They need the concrete mes sage whether they want it or not and once sensible of their need they are eager for it. Remember that behind the message is the character of the teacher, the life being lived evident to those we teach. The safety of our flag depends on the lives of the indi- vidual and the moulding of these lives is in their religious instruction. So keep the cross beside the flag in your heart and in serving one you can lift the other above reproach
 The convention came to a close with the singing of a hymn.

COURT TEST FOR
CORPORATION TAX

The validity Of Senate JOINT resolu-
ton No, 1, passed by the last legisla-
ture and referred to the people at the
Aug. 5 election, will be tested in the
courts. Proceedings are expected
whenever an attempt Is made to en-
force the new law. The resolution.
which was adopted as a part of the
Constitution, provides that all taxes
collected for the maintenance of the
common schools, and which are levied
upon the property OF railroad COM
pany, pipe line company, telegraph
company, or upon the property of any
public corporation operating In more
than one county in the State. shall b.,
paid into the common school fund and
distributed as are other common
school funds of the State.
The law will be attacked on the
ground that in referring it to the pen-
pie none of the constitutional provis-
ions were complied with. Some of
these are that copies of the law must
be sent to the precinct inspectors az
least forty days before the election.
and that they must be distributed by
the precinct inspectors to the quali-
fled electors of the precinct. This was
not done. as is required when it is
sought to amend section of the Con-
stitution, It is asserted. 1t is under
stood that while the oil companies
will be first to oppose enforcement of
the law, other public service utilities
will join in the proceedings.
