SALOON FIGHT is
ON AT CRAHAM NJ
Reported That Bluedeld Barkeepers
Have Made Offer For License.
Hartman Law in The way.

1t is reported here that the
Graham people who favor open
saloons for that city have been
actively engaged on the project
Tor several weeks. The first
obstacle they have encountered
is the law known as the "Har-
man act" which forbids license
to any town in this Senatorial
district, except Pocahontas. 1t
is also learned that certain Blue
field saloonists have made TEMPT
ing offers to the town of Graham
Tor the exclusive saloon license.
In the meantime, the temper
ance unions and anti-saioon
societies in the county are gett-
ing ready for the battle, i it
ever comes to the point of being
put to the voters. The enabling
act will likely pass the next Viz
ginia legislature, and then the
question of statewide prohibi-
tlon will be voted upon by the
entire State. The State will vote
dry by a tremendous majority.
hence the agitation at Graham
Will all have been in vain. AS
West Virginia goes dry next July

Keepers of that State are en-
deavoring to locate in Virginia.

FUNERAL SERVICES
OF MRS. WITTEN
Mother Of Well Known Family Lived
IN an Age Which Saw Many
Wonderful improvements.

| The funeral services of this
honored and venerable mother,
whose death was noticed in last
weeks paper, took place from
her late home on Mechanics
! Avenue, on last Friday after
noon. conducted by her former
pastor, Rev. DR.. Wiley, of Blue
field, assisted by other ministers
OF the town. She was laid to
rest beside her husband, in
Jeffersonville Cemetery. The
burial was conducted by under
taker. w. Ed Peery. There have
been but few more solemn or
beautiful services or burials.
The casket in which the dead lay
was beautiful in its simplicity.
The grave was lined and the
covering heavily padded to
deaden the sound of the falling
clods. A commodious tent had
been erected at the grave for the
accommodation of the family, as
precaution against cold and
rain. The solemn service was
read by the pastor Rev. Mr..
Platt, and all that was
mortal of this mother in Israel
was left to sleep beneath the
sod of her native hills, nearby
the home of her birth, and amid
the scenes where her long and
eventful life was spent. A few
additional facts may be of in
terest.
Anna Eliza Fudge, was born,
April 10Th, 1884, in a building
situated not far from the present
residence of A. B. White. The
little village of Jeffersonville was
then 81 years old. Her father
was Reuben G. Fudge, q worthy
and useful citizen of the COM
mppity. The Fudge family came
from Alleghaney County to
TazeWeli, Her mother was Nancy
harman.
In May, 1855 she was married
to DR.. Thomans Graham Witten,
a promising young physician a |
member of the large family of
that name in this county, He
was a successful physician in
his day, particularly in cases OF
typhoid fever, a man of striking
appearance, eccentric, quiet,
and of strong mind.
In her youth she had the
benefit of the schools com mon
in her day. A log school house
stood to the left and above the
road. some distance beyond the
new house on the Ruston farm,
in which. as a girl, she attended
school, taught by the father Of
the afterwards distinguished
methodist minister, VIM. e. |

Munsey. Young Munsey was one
of her school mates. There may
be others living still who attend
ed this "old field" school, but
she was nearly the last of the
number who gathered, romped
and played over that old hill,
in those days of long ago.
1t is interesting to think of
the contrast in every way, be-
tween these days and those, and
what strides have been made by
this country within period of
eight years. When Mrs. Witten
was born there were, for in
stance no railroads in Virginia
and only one perhaps, in the
United States. The Baltimore
and Ohio was the first. It's con-
struction began in 1928, and in
1880 the first Id miles was com
pleted. There were no sewing
machines. The first built by
Howe, was introduced in 1871.
There were few if any cook
stoves, no kerosene or lamps,
no telegraph, telephones or
electric cars, no paper bags or
canned goods. Shoes and cloth
ing were made at nome by hand.
No free schools and but few
colleges and seminaries of learn
ing. No musical instruments in
churches, and but few in the
homes of the people, no CRATES
or coal for fuel in those old days
when she was a girl, nor for
years afterwards. These, and
many other instances which
could be cited. give some faint
idea of the many changes God
hath wrought" during the life
time of one individual. Amidst
it all and through it all, this
young woman grew, developed
and became a strong, womanly
woman, a devoted Christian and
mother, and lay down at last up
on a bed of honor and peace, with
out dread or fear. AT last there
rested the smile and benediction
of an eternal calm upon her old
face, face which seemed not old, /
as one gazed into it, but the
rather tinged with the sunrise
glow OF perennial yo lth, and
enshrouded in a "peace which
passeth understandings"
