$25--$I5---$lO

The attention of the farmers
is CALLED to the above figures.
These three prizes will be offered
this year for the first, second
and third best displays of farm
products, at the Fair this fall.
Now, these prizes, while not
large, are very respectable, and
afford some inducement to make
the exhibits.
The exhibits should include as
many varieties as possible, of
hay, grains, etc., such as should
be grown on every well-kept
farm. Garden vegetables are
not included. Those who in
tend to contest for these prizes
should apply at once to the
Sup't. of Agricultural Depart
ment, j. A. Leslie, for space,
stating the district. There ought
to be great show this year of
what the farms can do. Of
course quality will be the chief
test, as well as quantity. Now,
let the "boys" pitch in.
Other New Features.
Remember, the exhibits will
be made this year by districts.
Each of the three districts of
the county will have separate
space, and the usual prizes be
offered for the best articles or
products, as usual, that it, best
10 ears-10 stalks, best potatoes,
beet, punkins, etc., ETC., as
usual. The special prizes for
farm displays is separate, but
articles in general display may
be shown in the separate classes.
Write Superintendent for fur
ther information desired. The
district making the best exhibit
over all will be awarded a blue
ribbon.

Diamond Found.

Frank Brewster, a we'll known
citizen living near North Taze-
well, discovered while plowing
on the farm of j. Sanders Giles
pie, near Pounding Mill rough
diamond. Not knowing the val
ue of the stone, he kept it at his
home for several months, and
only recently decided to have it
examined. Mr.. Pobst, the Taze-
well jeweler, bought the satone
from Mr.. Brewster, and sent it
to New York to have it cut and
polished. In a few days the
cut and polished stone was re-
turned to Mr.. Pobst. The stone,
after being dressed up weighed
three-fourths of a carat, and is
a beautiful blush white, prob
ably valued in the market at
about 5000.
The wise ones are baffied to
know how such a valuable stone
found it's way to an obscure
place on Mr.. Gillespie's farm.
Mineralogist and geologist are
busying themselves to account
for this wonderful discovery,
and it will be no surprise if Mr.,
Gillespie's farm will not double
in value in a very short time
Diamond hunters will tramp
down his corn, dig up his
potatoes, and ruin his whea
fields. The opinion of many, ex
pressed because of no better
reason, is that the stone was
dropped at this point man!
years ago by a wild pigeon, a
these birds are known to hav'
existed here by thousands.

An Explanation

There has been considerable
Sam Jack braying of another
business college of this section
about placing Roanoke-National
Business College students in
positions. We think it unfair
and unprofessional for another
school to attempt to build a
reputation by connecting the
Roanoke-National Business Col
lege name with it's advertise
ments. We are glad, however,
to have some school which is
willing to recommend our few
failures, won't is and can'ts. This
class attends every school. ] am
sure the Roanoke-National Bus
mess College will not put it's
recommendation behind a stu
dent of this school. Neither has
it ever charged a student GER
tain percentage of his first
months salary, or any other
amount, for recommending him
to position.
The Roanoke-National Bus
mess College has more calls for
graduates than it can supply,
but it will not recommend half
baked stenographers and book
keepers of another school in
order to get a little fee. Bus
mess men know when they call
at the Roanoke-National Bus
mess College they geta Roanoke
National-Business College stu
dent with a Roanoke-National
Business College training.
In the last week the school
has had fifteen calls for stenog-
raphers and bookkeepers. 1t
filled about one-half of these
applications with real stenog-
raphers and bookkeepers. These
positions paid salaries of from
$50 to SIS per month.

near TRAGEDY ON
MOUNTAIN ROAD

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank e. Whit,
of Tazewell, had an almost
miraculous escape from serious
injury or probable death last
Monday afternoon on their re-
turn from Burke's Garden, by
their horse becoming scared at
a road roller engine. They left
the Garden driving a horse be-
longing to Jim Gillespie, and
while passing through the gap
in the mountain near the
Burke's Garden Mills, the horse
became scared, and in backing
pushed the buggy and its
occupants over a thirty-foot
precipice, tearing the buggy
into splinters. Mr.. and Mrs.
Whit were fastened under the
buggy, Mrs. Whit being pinned
to the ground between two
spokes of the buggy. AS soon as
Mr.. Whit gathered his wits he
began to work his way out from
under the wreck, receiving only
a few scars and a slightly
sprained ankle. Mrs. Whit was
uninjured, and was soon released
from her perilous position.
Bystanders, who witnessed
the accident were dumfounded,
thinking that both Mr.. AMI Mrs.
Whit were certainly killed, and
were surprised to find them only
slightly bruised.
Mr.. Whit stated that as the
buggy went over the bank the
horse turned a complete somer.

buggy, while both he ard Mrs.
Whit were under it. He is un.
able to give further details Of
the near tragedy, except that 6
basket containing a hen and
nineteen chickens went through
the wreck, only one of the
I chickens being unaccounted for.
This little chick is probably
roaming around on the Burke's
Garden mountain chirping fol
its nanny.

Henry Stuart's Sorrow

Through all Virginia there
will be great throb of SYM
pathy for Henry G.. Stuart and
his family in the fearful trouble
that has come upon them. There
will be no condemnation for the
dead man, for loss of reason is
"a calamity which cannot be
prevented or avoided and which
may come upon the best and
strongest of us.
1t is especially lamentable
that this misfortune has befallen
Henry Stuart almost at the very
moment of his attainment of
one of the highest honors that
any Virginian ever has known
and the ambition of his life.
From all indications he will be
named. practically, governor of
Virginia as the unanimous choice
of the people and without an
opponent. Coming from a State
like Virginia this tribute to
character and worth is one such
as few men in the history of
this country have won. To have
such well earned triumph
shadowed by private and irrepar-
able disaster and grief is bitter.
The people of Virginia will
understand this; and Mr.. Stuart
may find some alleviating COM
fort in the knowledge that he
has the earnest, affectionate
sympathy of all of them, that
the prayers of thousands will go
up that the blow may be soften
ed as much as is possible and
that he may be strengthened to
endure it. Richmond Virginian.
