and at Inkerman The Guards lost
forty.five per cent, and both 90
down to history, in verse and prose,
as having been annihilated. At
Gettysburg the Second Wisconsin
lost 233 out of 302, the Nineteenth
Indiana lost 210 out of 288, and the
One Hundred and Fiftieth Pennsyl-

Hundred and Twenty-first, the One
Hundred and Forty second, the One
Hundred and Forty-third, the One
Hundred and FUrty-niGth and the
One Hundred and Fifty-first lost
quite as heavily. Among the First
Corps officers wounded in the first

DR.. J. N. Coons went to Monroe
City on Monday last. He is wind
ing up his executorship of the es-
tate of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth N.
Maston, who died over two years
ago, aged Is years and left her little
patrimony by will to her two broth
ers and three sisters in equal shares.
These five have recently sold Mrs.
Maston's late home in Monroe City,
to Mis-. Emma |. Bush who will be
remembered By many of our readers
as the daughter Of James LOngmire
and the wife, now widow. of VIM.
Bush, who died some years ago.
The remarkable thing about the deed
made to Mrs Bush by the two
brothers and three sisters of Mrs,
MaSton is that their combined ages
run to 1872 years or to an average
of 76 years. Rarely does a deed
contain the names of so many aged
people. The legatees and Signeers
of the deed are J N. Coons and
Mrs. Mary j. Mays, of this city, R.
H. Coons Of Hannibal, Mrs. Sarah
C Young, of Chico, Cal, and Mrs.
Rebecca V. Hurst, of near Durham,

The trade territory of a town is
not all dependent upon the distance
to neighboring trading points The
trade territory depends upon the en-
terprise of the merchants and the
residents of the town. If the town
doesn't reach after the trade it will
come only as fast as it has to, and
it will grow as it is forced to. But
if the merchants will 60 after bust
ness in the surrounding country
advertising in every possible way
and making good every word of
their advertising trade will come

and not altogether the men living

from it that makes the town gooc

HOW HE RAISES CORN.

Mr.. Fred l.. Gibbon,a success
full farmer of the North, says in
a recent issue of the Progressive
Farmer, 81 never want to take
a pillow into the field after the
corn is planted. AS the plants
grow the cultivation should get
shallower at each cultivation.
When the time comes for the av-
erage farmer to lay by, | am cul-
tivating my crop going once

kind of cultivation for the last
two years, and 50 we'll pleased
with it do not expect to stop.

was told that | was losing time
and money, but | saw other
fields of corn nearby, that had
been planted three or four weeks
after mine, burning and turning
yellow for the want of moisture
and because of deep cultivation,
while my field just across the
fence which had been cultivated
shallow and often was greer
and growing during the hot dry
season.

LIGHTNING AND TREES.

The inquiry in this paper as to
what kind of trees are most liza
BILE to be struck by lightning
brings only three answers so far.
Mr.. Frank Moss, of Cavitt's
Creek, says that lightning has
struck several times near his
place, and oak trees were struck
each time, although there are
locust trees nearby, but have not
been struck. Mr.. Cecil Peery
says that an oak near his home
has been struck several times.
but locust trees nearby have not
been struck. He thinks, howev-
er, that he has known more To-
Gusts struck than any other tree.
Mr.. |. w. DALEY, of Doran, says:
Il don't know what kind of
trees are most liable to be struck.
but will say that two years ago
| started to W. l.. C. Burk's on
Sunday and between the top of
the ridge near B. V. Elswick' s
and Mr.. Burk's | counted ten
chestnut trees that had been
struck by lightning that season. ("

Here is one about the moon:
The sudden change in the tenn
perature of the weather on Mon
day is explained by one of the
oldest citizens, by saying that
the new moon lies far to the
north this month and the cool
weather is the result. He doesn't
stop to think that the moon has
a certain orbit or path and is no
farther north" at one time than
another at the same season of
the year, nor the further fact
that the weather began to be
much warmer on Tuesday.

Wages Raised.

The board of arbitration COM
posed of G. w. Merrill, for the
Norfolk and Western, A. B.
Lowe, for the maintenance of
way men, and Judge William
Lee Chambers, appointed to set
tie the wage differences between
the Norfolk and Western Rail-
way and its maintenance of way
men decided to allow an increase
in the wages of all classes of
employees in the maintenance of
way service. This increase var
les in different departments of
work, but in a general way, it
may be stated that the average
increase will be about six per
cent. Thirty-fve hundred men
are affected and the annual in
crease in the payroll of this de-
partment will be between $685.
600 and $3.50, 900. Included in
this increase are the bridge
carpenters, track men, masons,
timers, watchmen, pump men,
fence men and in fact any en-
ployes who are in any way in
terested in maintenance of the
road, its stations and equipment
in general.

New Party Organization
Suggested.

In last weeks issue of the
Clinch Valley News appeared a
communication 81 G n e d "a
Democrat" suggesting reorga
nization of the Democratic
County Committee, and suggest
ing that each voting precinct in
the county have a member and
each Incorporated town two
members on the committee, and
names of we'll known Democrats
are mentioned as possible re-
representatives..
There seems no question that
the party in Tazewell county
needs new life injected into it
and gotten into more enthusiast
tic and organized working force,
and if this can be brought about
and the future success of the
party assured by a reorganization
and a more general distribution
over the county of committee
members, we favor the plan, as
party success should in all cases
be given consideration over the
personal ambition of a few in
dividuals.
The plan is well worth an in
vestigation, for if there was not
something wrong in the camps
why would there be dissatisfac-
tion?-Graham Banner.

man voted against Mr.. Wilson
does not make him reactionary
today. Mr.. Bryan voted against
him number of times in Balti-
more. Because a man may have
been reactionary last year or
the year before does not mean
that he is one today. Why can't
we have reform without all this
rucas and rhetorical "flub dub"
1t occurs to us that there should
be a convention of the Democrats
of the State and a platform
framed, a declaration of princi-
pies, new principles, if you
please, promulgated, and the
party say just what they believe
and want and stop this everlast-
ing eternal criticism, faultfind-
ing and indefinite and apparently
inexhaustible fund of charges
against the government and
public men. Now, as it is, every
man who wants an Office begins
first to howl and kick and the
bowler and kicker can always
find an audience. Let the law of
the party be laid down in clear
language and candidates for
office made~.tee the mark, and
nearly all the kicking comes from
this class. Then, perhaps, some
of the screamers from the
Screamersvilles of the State can
turn their wonderful powers of
imagination and description into
more profitable channels.

that they believe with respect
to school hours in county schools
and the pay of teachers, the in

State should be advanced by pro-
gressive policies; that they be-
lieve Hon. Martin Williams,
Democratic floor leader of the
House of Delegates, in publicly
stating as he did at Roanoke
some time since, that with jul
dicious management and strict
economy in operating expenses
of the State government could
be reduced by several hundred
thousand dollars annually-by
$500, 900, we think he said,
was in position to know what he
was talking about, and hence
in effect drew a scathing in
dictment against the efficiency
of the administration of State
affairs under the present regime,
and suggested an impelling
need for the application of pro-
gressive methods to the States
business affairs.
Many, We say, have believed
that the tendency to nonaction
with respect to these and other
important concerns of public
policies was equivalent to a
stand-still tendency-which in
turn is accepted to mean a re-
dictionary disposition. They have
stood against reactionary pol
icies; their leaders stand for
constructive progress and re-
forming State politics just as
Wilson stands for progress in
national politics. Just as Bryan
fought at Baltimore to STAY the
forces of reactionary creation,
so have thousands of Democrats
in Virginia made up their minds
to free the State public policies
from the rust and decay of I'M
progressiveness.
But here comes along the
Clinch Valley News, its columns
loaded with ammunition chose
noise we've heard before, to
warn US that we know not of
what we speak. That Stuart for
instance,is no more nor no less
a progressive than leaders of
the dominant Democratic fac
ton in Virginia-Stuart who
we don't believe ever thought
a machine" thought in all his
life Stuart, who if we mistake
not, took part in the May con-
ference is precisely at one in
political progressiveness wit h
those against whom and againts
whose methods the May confer
ence voiced ringing denuncia-
ton! Well, well, we'll, all we
have to say on this subject, is
that we differ with the Clinch
Valley News being very ear
nestly convinced that Mr.. Stuart
of today is the same Mr.. Stuart
in political ideals and inspira-
tions and standards he has ever
been, and that he will afford
one of the most salutary, un-
felt cred and progressive adj
ministrations that the Common
wealth has ever enjoyed. =
