THE NEW COUNCIL
BEGINS It's WORK
Mayer Harman Outlines Plan Of
Campaign and Appoints Com
mittees- Sergeant Reelected.

The first meeting of the new
city council took place in the
office of DR.. R. B. Gillespie last
Friday night. Present, Mayor J.
n. Harman; Councilmen Kiser.
jackson, Johnson, Witten.
Copenhaver and Greever.
Mayor j. N. Harman presided
over the first meeting with the
eclat that should attend gather
lngs of this character, and out
lined a program for the council
meetings, which, he said, would
be strictly adhered to. In the
course of his remarks he stated
that the most important consider
alton for the council was the
sewerage system, which should
be given attention over every
thing else, and that not a penny's
expenditure should be made for
other civic improvements until
the sewerage matter is properly
provided for. AS to how this
important matter will be settled,
not tangible suggestions have vet
been advanced. The council is
depending, in a measure, upon
q committee appointed by the
Board of Trade, for a solution of
the question.
The following officers were
ppolnted for the two year term:
John S. Thompson, Sargeant,
salary, $500 per year, with fees.
J. N. Harman, Mayor, salary
$50 per month, with fees.
e. A. Thompson, overseer of
poor, $50 per year.
A, j. May, assessor, $50 per
year.
7. A. Repass, Jr., Recorder,
$50 per year.
The following committees were
appointed:
Water and Sewerage-John E.
Jackson and j. A. Greever.
Finance and Sanitation-J. N.
johnson and w. L. Witten.
Streets-R. P. Copenhaver and
A. G. Kiser.
Committee to designate roads
to be improved by bond issue
fund-the Mayor and entire
council.
The question of laying a levy
came up, and upon the sugges-
tions of Mayor Harman, was de-
ferred until the October meet
ing, until the exact financial
condition of the town was known.
A committee was appointed to
audit the the towns financies,
ascertain the amount of out
standing bonds, and other in
debtedness. The Mayor thought
it advisable not to increase the
levy in view of the county bond
issue, the town having to bear a
heavy part of the taxation, if it
were possible to do so.
II the committee of the Board
of Trade recommends a sewerage
system, which the council sees
fit to adopt, bonds will have to
be issued to provide for same.
An ordinance governing the
licensing of automobiles at the
Fair was adopted. Seven pas
senger automobiles, or those of
less capacity, $3.50 for the three
days. More than seven passeng-
er capacity, so cents per pas
senger extra.
The council passed a special
ordinance relative to the sanitary
condition of the city, which is
mentioned elsewhere.

TO THE TEACHERS OF
TAZEWETJ, COUNTY

At a meeting of teachers called
by Superintendent w. Archie
Thompson at Tazewell, Va,
September 9Th, the undersigned
was appointed to write circular
letter to all teachers to give the
following additional information
in regard to the School Fair:
Schools coming from the east
or the west by rail will form
their regular school lines and
march too the fair grounds from
the trains. The trains will stop
at James E. Peery's crossing,
near the fair rgounds. The
schools arriving on the first
train will wait for those on the
second train. The schedules of
the trains will lbe arranged to
put all at the landing near the
same time. Special rates have
been arranged for the schools.
The round trip by rail will be
1-3 times the fair one way.
Each school should have one
or more school yells, banners
and pennants of school colors
the size and style of the banners
and pennants to be left to the
judgment and taste of the
schools.
The schools arriving on the
trains will be accompanied by
the band, and will march to the
fair grounds and halt in front of
the grand stand, where they will
be joined by the other schools,
and the Grand March will take
place on the race track. Teach
ers of rural schools should
arrange, as far as practicable,
to have their pupils come in a
body to the fair so that there
may be no mistakes OF confusion
in regard to the free admission
of pupils. If it is impossible for
any pupils to come with their
teachers these pupils should be
given by their teachers a written
certificate showing that the
child named is a pupil of the
school named, and this certifi-
cate will entitle the pupil to ad-
mission to the fair on Tuesday.
Pupils of the session of 1928,
(including graduates), as vel
as pupils enrolled for IL

well; Races, Prof. G. l.. Strong,
Wittens Mills.
The Fair is the next big event,
and signs of its coming have
been apparent on the streets all
the week. People are talking
Fair, and if the weather is pro-
pitions, and it promises now so
to be, there will be a crowd of
people here next week, perhaps
larger than at any Fair for years.
There has already been enter
ed in different departments a
large number of articles of every
description embraced in the pre-
MUM lists, and still they come.
There is the neat little sum of
nearly $250.00 offered in pre-
miums by the school Fair people,
which sum will be won by young
sters in the different schools in
the county. The children, says
Miss Conn, have shown very
commendable zeal and interest
in this first venture.

Helms Individuals,

TOLEDO, March 7.-Schultz and Kos
ter, members of the Hudson Bowling Club
of Newark, N. j., went into the lead In
the A. B. C. two-man event. totaling
1,291 pins In their three games. just thir-
teen pins shy OF the A. B. G. record for
that event and topping the former mark
of the present tourney by fourteen pins.

off badly, getting 1888. In his second game,
however, he pulled up to IDS and finished
in hurrah style, q triple netting him PIG.
His partner, Schultz did the heavy work,
totaling 100 pins In his three games.
Schultz began with 231, jumped to A6
and then slumped to 233. Another
change took place In the two-man event
yesterday afternoon when A. Buick and
Forester rolled 1916, which gives them
a tie for second place.
William Helms Newark. N. j., rolled
into first place in the individual event
last night with score Of 061. The New

second and 225 In the third. This gives
the Newark bowler first place In the

The Bergmans of New York also rolled
their two-man and individual events last

was made by Harris and Weingarth, who

winner Of the game will have the best
claim on the honor. The Brooklanders
had figured on meeting some weaker team
before going against the Charlottesville
institution, but the schedule could not
be arranged in that way.
The Maryland Aggies will open their
season against the Navy on the same
day that Catholic University meets Vir-
ginfa. The Farmers have not yet done
anything in the way Of practice and will
have to make the best Of q hard game

will probably not play a harder game
