Now, Here's Your Chance.

A large number of our SUI
scriptions expire with April.
May is the beginning of our year.
1t is our hope and aim to have
every subscription paid to that
date at least. Hence, we want
to make April a big month, and
celebrate our 10th anniversary
by presenting every subscriber
to this paper n clear receipt to
May !, 1913, and better still, to
May 1914, Il year in advance.
This can easily be done if our
friends will help along. We hope
to send statement to every
body who is in arrears, and
whether you receive n statement
or not send your subscription
along. If you do not know how
you stand drop a card to the
Office and find out. We want to
celebrate the 10th anniversary
by clearing up the list, and
starting afresh. April must be
the greatest of all the months in
the year. Keep this in mind.
Are you in arrears? This little
message means you. Will you
help us celebrate? Editor.

Farmers Headquarters.

The Board of Supervisors, at
the last meeting granted l.. A.
Tyres, of the Star Milling Com
pany the use of the lot back of
the old Jail site. Mr.. Tynes will
clear way the old shacks now
standing on the lot, and erect a
neat building to be used as a
show and sample room for farm
machinery, grass seeds, etc. The
building will be sort of head
quarters for the farmers on court
days and other public days. The
portion of the lot not covered by
the building will be used as IAN
seed, fertilizer, etc. The idea is
| good ons all around. This lot
and the buildings, etc, theron
have alwaA s been rather an eye
sore, and the erection of Il neat
building, fences, ect., will GER
tainly improve the looks of
things besides being a great con-
yenience. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Tynes erects the building at
has own expense, and pays a
rental of $4,000 per year for the
use of the premises.

Rare Privileges.

Our genial old friend, j. w.
Campbell, "The hermit" lime
manufacturer at North Tazewell,
let it drop the other day, in a
conversation in this Office, that
he knew Abraham Lincoln we'll,
and shook hands with him in
Washington in 1863, and was in
the same brigade with Mckinley
and Rutherford B. Hays during
the civil war, and was also well
acquainted with Garfield. Mr..
Campbell marched in the funeral
procession through Columbus
when the body of Mckinley was
being borne to his old home in
Canton for burial. Also he was
with Mckinley during the cam
paign in Ohio on several occa-
sions. Mr.. Campbell is probably
the only citizen OF this section
who enjoyed either of the above
named privileges.

First Sign of Summer.

A large flock of wild geese
passed over, or through, the
neighborhood on Wednesday late
in the afternoon, crossing the
mountains about opposite A. j.
Steele's house, and on by the
Whitman house just east of Bus
toms residence. They were fly
ing low, below the tops of the
houses and hills, evidently con-
fused, or looking for good place
to rest and spend the night.
They were north bound. Accord
ing to an old saying, winter has
broken and spring is here. Also,
a storm is said to follow in their
path. The storm came on We'd
nesday night. The wild goose
seems to be a good weather
prohpet, which may account for
the fact that the weather bureau
man at Washington frequently
makes q goose of himself"

HALF A CROP BY
USING POOR CORN
lnbreeding From Year 10 Year Will
Cause Deterioation---PIant Two
Good Varieties Together.

The question of seed corn bobs
up Just about this time every
year. 1t is with us again. A
number of farmers should change
their seed. They are planting
corn that owing to its poor
quality alone, is producing about
half a crop. No matter how rich
the land or how we'll cultivated
Q full crop cannot be expected
from such seed as many of our
farmers are using. 1t has been
rather carelessly selected, from
the crib year after year, until it
has run out, and a change should
be made. Prof. Carrier says that
inbreeding of the same corn
from year to year will az in the
case Of stock. deteriorate. Two
good varieties of different
strains. it seems, should be
planted together, giving a cross,
which, the agriculturists say,
greatly improves the quality and
yield of the crop. There are a
number of fine samples on ex-
hibition in the News office, from
this county, different parts of
the State and other States. Call
and see it. You may find lust
what you need.

News of Coaldan

Coaldan, Va, March 10. Mr..
j. A. O'Bryne and family, P, H.
O'Bryne and A j. Beavers left
the second day of this month
for their new home in Oklahoma.
We wish them much success in
their new home.
Boyd Griffiths, son of E. j.
Griffiths, departed this life on
the 18th for the better land, his
remains being laid to rest at the
Thomas Burial ground. There
was a large crowd at the burial.
The train brought up a number
of the brotherhood to see the
burial. He belonged to several
orders of broth. erhood, and was
held high in their esteem.
His death was caused by tubercu-
losis brought on by cigarettes.
Henry Griffiths, son of M. ].
Griffiths, was shot twice by
policeman Osborn at Jewell
Ridge. He was not dangerously
hurt.
The mines at this place are
running nicely and plenty of
work for all at fair prices.
We have one cider shop at this
place, quite a number of the boys
give it visit on Sunday. We
don't think cider ought to be
sold on Sunday anywhere. We
think a merchant would have
the same right to sell goods on
Sunday as they would to sell
cider.
We need better officers or more
at all,

The Agricultural Display at
Fair next fall will be divided
into three parts, each district
having its own display, and a
suitable special premium offered
for the best display. The details
have not all been worked out,
but will be soon, and due notice
given. This early announcement
is made so as to allow everybody
ample time to arrange for it. In
addition to the usual cash pre-
miums offered for Individual dis
plays a special liberal premium
will be given for the best display
of farm and garden products.
The Agricultural Department
will have more money this year
than heretofore, and it will be
worth while from a financial
point, to take notice. The above,
and other plans were outlined at
meeting of the Executive
Committee, on Tuesday night,
by Mr.. Leslie, Supt. of Agri-
cultural Department, and the
committee approved the plan,
and will give all possible en-
couragement to make this ex-
hibition worthy of the county.
Each district should have
some sort of organization and
plan. The appointment of a
manager for each district is al
most absolutely necess ary.
Won't some one take hold of
this part of the work in each
district?

NEW BUILDING FOR
SCHOOL FAIR.

The removal of the horse
stalls mentioned will give room
for the erection of new build
ings 1t was shown that there
is q lack of room on the grounds
for the exhibits, which are grow
ing larger yearly. The new de-
partment of school exhibits will
necessitate a separate building,
which was practically agreed
upon. The Agricultural and Do
mestic Departments buildings
are crowded each year, and this
new shool Fair, one of the finest
things yet proposed will need its
own separate building. The
building ample and suitable,
will be erected on this ground
made vacant by the removal of
the stalls. And, so, the Fair
grows from year to year, and a
number of progressive farmers
are growing with it.

rumor that congressman Andrew

NEW BUILDINCSFOR
THE FAIR GROUNDS
Executive Committee Proposes Many
Changes and Improvements, and
Room For the School Fair.

The Executive Committee of
the Tazewell Fair Associat ion
met Tuesday night and talked
over matters pertaining to the
next Fair. Several changes an d
new plans were proposed, and
practically agreed upon. One
was-a suggestion from Mr.. Fred
r. Steele, the moving of all the
stalls Immediately below the res
taurant builnding, about Is in
number, and the erection of a
stable of about 80 stalls near the
entrance and to the right, where
there is a nice plot of ground
not now in use. This will clear
the grounds of a lot of unsightly
and unsanitary horse stalls, etc.
and be a great gain all around.
The race track can be reached
through the tunnel from the new
stalls, with much less danger and
more conveniently. This sug-
gestion was well received, and
will be carried out.

MULE MARKET
VERY SLUGGISH
LITTLE DEMAND FOR THE COT
TON VARIETY AND THE
SUGAR KIND ARE OFF.

For the first Monday In August Co
lumbia had big consignment of
mules here today. There were be-
tween $50 end 200 mules on the
square during the day and most or
them were inest specimens of that
most useful animal. The majority
were fat and sleek and there were
some extra good sugar mules in the
list.
But the market was slow, It was
dragging heavily. There was practi-
cally no demand for the small or
cotton mules, the buyers saying that
feed was so scarce in the county
that they couil not get farmers to
feed this class of mules and they
could not affolo to feed them. Very
few Of the sugar mules were sold, the
buyers stating they could not pay the
price asked. The holders OF the best
grades Of mules asked from $3.50 to
$475 and even $500 a pair, but buy
ers stated that the market would not
justify such prices and declined to
bid. A few scld.
