Good Picture Show

DR.. Joe Kelly is giving good
show each night at the Amuzu,
which is worthy of the patronage
of the people. During the week
you had the privilege of seeing
the Great and Only Roosevelt,
the matchless Wilson and other
celebrities, more or less renown-
ed and notorious. DIR. Joe throws
in few films of humor during
the week. If the blue devils get
you in its grip, drop in to the
show and forget it. If your
children are too young or your
wife too old you can see the
show Saturday afternoon at 8
O'Clock, which will put you in a
good humor to learn your Sunday
School lesson Saturday night.

Virginia's COlOneIs

The following special from

Lynchburg News:
Governor Mann to day in
formed the inaugural committee
at Washington that he and his
staff would accept the invitation
to attend the inauguration of
Governor Wilson as President of
the United State in March. The
Governor and his staff will lead
the Virginia State troops in the
great march down Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t will be a procession
of heart-breakers, those colonels.
Fair creatures are expected to
sigh and to pine for an in
PRODUCTION to them at the ball
which is to follow the parade,
and it may be that some of the
" soldiers" from the Governors
staff will indulge in the popular
and somewhat tabooed turk ey
trot."
Won't Tazewell's Colonel shine
on this auspicious occasion?

COONS and DOGS
ARE FIRST COUSINS
And Why Shouldn't the Hams of
the Latter Be as Good as the
Hind Quarters Of the Former?

Treasurer Britain and Oscar
George played a trick on Colonel
Elisha Campbell a few days ago.
that we did not think would
even be perpetrated by a mem
ber of the Ananias club. George
caught big, fat coon near his
store in Thompson Valley, and
cooked the hind quarters brown
and nice and sent to the treasur-
er. Colonel Campbell, the
treasurer's old time friend of
long standing, was thought of,
and got a hind quarter. AS soon
as George came TO town the two
conspirators got together, and
George approached Colonel
Campbell thusly: Colonel, you
remember a few years ago,
Peery Britain played an Irish
trick" on me, which l have
never forgotten. l have waited
a long time for vengeance, but it
has come at last. / had lfHele
cur dog around the house which
got to sucking eggs and we de-
cided to kill it. 1t looked so nice
and plump that the idea of Civ
ing Peery a dose occurred to
me, and we cooked the hind
quarters and sent them to Peery
and told him that it was the
hams of a fat coon one of the
boys on the place caught the
night previous. Now, Colonel,
if you ever tell Peery he will
shoot me on sight"
Colonel Campbell got that far
away look on his face, spit a
few times, and walked off, say
ing not word.

The developments in what is
known as the Elkhorn coal field,
in southeastern Kentucky which
have been actively pushed during
the last two years, are expected
to bein full running order in the
spring of 1918 and will swing
the major production of the
State from the western to the
eastern district. Up to the pres
ent time the greater part of the
production has been derived from
the western counties, and in
1912, out of an estimated output
of Ia, 600, 600 tons, the western
counties have contributed over
half, or say 100000 tons, as
compared with $500, 900 tons
from the eastern counties. The
whole State has suffered from
car shortage in 1912, but it was
especially felt in western
Kentucky, where in December
the car supply on the Louisville
& Nashville was only 65 per cent
of the needs, and on the Illinois
Central Railroad barly 40 pei

THE COURTHOUSE
Will BE REPAIRED
Supervisors Accept Plans of Archi-
terl For Remodelling Present
Building-Bids Asked For.

The Board Of Supervisors
Tuesday finally disposed of the
Courthouse matter in so far as
the people are concerned. They
have accepted the plans and
specifications for the repair of
the present building as prepared
by w. G. Lewman, of the Falls
City Construction Company, of
Louisville, KY, mention of
which plans was recently made
in this paper. The Board is ad-
vertising for bids for the carry
ing out of these plans, notice of
which is given elsewhere in this
paper. The plans, as outlined,
will give ample room and accom-
modation to the officers of the
court, witness rooms, vaults for
the safekeeping of the county's
records, etc., and will cost, ap-
proximately $25,
The meeting of the Board was
harmonious, the dove of peace
lowering around all during the
proceedings. The expected
strenuous opposition to the pro-
posed repairing did not develop,
a majority of the citizens have
reached the conclusion that the
Board was proceeding cautiously
In the matter, and would act for
the best interest of the county.
The repair work will commence
this spring and will be pushed
to completion.
The citizens of Tazew ell, and
elsewhere in the county will
breath easier now, as the pos
sibility of moving the courthouse
has been dispelled.
The county road authorities
have discovered that the Norfolk
& Western have possession of
certain county roadway between
Pocahontas and Boissevane
without having a title to same.
When the Laurel Creek branch
of the N. & w. was built a
verbal agreement is said to have
been made between the railroad
authorities and Supervisors,
whereby the railroad was to use
about two thousand feet of
county roadway for laying
tracks, and was to build a new
road instead. The new road was
built, and it has later developed
that the Big Vein Coal Company
have built a tipple in the middle
of this new road. Common
wealth's Attorney Harman has
taken the matter up with the
railroad officials and an adjust
ment of the matter will be
reached.
