N. & W. YARDS TO
GO TO CEDAR BLUFF
Mr.. Scott Certain That Railroad Has
So Decided The New Bank.
c. B. Masons Elect Officers.

Mr.. Erastus Blair Scott. one
of cedar Bluffs most useful, if
not handsomest citizens, was
here on Wednesday, and paid
this sanctum a pleasant call. He
is optimistic about Cedar Bluff.
The N. and w. will certainly
locate their yards and switch
there, he thinks, and this will
give that bumptious little city
an additional boost. The new
hardware store in which he is
largely interested with his SON.
in-law, Hatcher, is doing a fine
business already. "Ras" has
leased his hotel and farm, and
now hangs around the store,
making himself useful as we'll as
ornamental, as boss or clerk as
occasion demands.
AS to the rumored new tele-
phone company said to be or
ganizing or about to be, in that
section, he knew nothing of it.
There is nothing more than talk
so far, he said, and he did not
think there could be found
enough nerve and money in that
section to venture upon such an
uncertain proposition as the in
stalling of new county tele-
phoEe with two companies al
ready in the field.
The many friends of Mr.. Scott
will be glad to know that his
health is robust now.
The Bank of Cedar Bluff, In
corporated, is now open for bus
mess at Cedar Bluff and is re-
ceiving the support and encour-
agement of the citizens of the
community. The people living
at Cedar Bluff and adj jacent ter
ritory are fin1ing the institution
a great convenience. A bright
future is predicted for it. The
following gentlemen are officers
of the bank:
President-Dr. w. E. Bundy.
Vice-President-.C.F. Lambert
Cashier. j. Moore.
Directors--W. e. Bundy, R.
M. Sparks, G. F. Lambert, j.
Ed. Mcclure, B. d. Humphrey,

Miss Ada. daughter of Mrs. G.
l.. McClintock, died at the home
of her mother on Mechanics av-
enue at 1890 O'Clock Tuesday
morning after an illness of a
week from pneumonia. She be-
gan to sink rapidly early We'd
nesday evening. and seemed to
suffer greatly. A final visit from
her physician, DR.. Crockett, held
out no hope or possibility of her
recovery. The end came quietly
and peacefully as sleep comes
to child in its mothers arms.
She was 81 years old last
month. but had always been q
child in body and mind, and be-
cause of her mental and physical
weakness, had more than usual
sympathy from her family and
associates. Her death causes
great sorrow in her home, where
she will be missed, nevertheless
the change from this to the 9th
er and the perfect life is felt
and known to be best for her.
God don't want me to live al
ways" were her last words. The
funeral takes place today at IL
o'clock daburial in Maple
Shade cemetry.

Graham Greetings.

Graham, Va, Dec. II, 1917
Mr.. VIM. L. Spracher is not
yet able to leave ihs bed yet
from that fall.
There will be Christmas trees
at all of the churches.
Glenna James is rapidly re-
covering from typhoid fever.
Mr.. Frye's little girl is very ill
with pneumonia, at her home
near Hickman.
Mr.. p. G. Baugh visited Gra-
ham early this week.
Mr.. Harman Broyles has Just
completed one of the handsome
st store houses in Graham and
filled it with the incest things.
Many houses of the better
class are going up in Graham
since the completion of the good
road ands the new High School
building-in which Prof. Faulk-
ner will begin school after the
holidays.
1t is a shame for ladies with
little babies and all others, to
have to stand in the bad wealth
er awaiting the trains at Hook
man.
Walter Graham always look
ing out for the vital interests of
the town, and is now very hope
full that we are to have more and
better, supply of water, and that
the street car line will be ex-
tended westward soon.
The w. G. 7. U. had a very
good meeting at the Christian
church at 3 p. m. last Tuesday
at which time and place the
Rev. John Tate made a fine
talk on the temperance ques-
tion, for that is the question
here now on which all of our
ministers and christians are
one. The prayer meetings,
public and private make one
unanimous wireless petition to
the great white throne that no
saloon may never obtain foot
hold in Graham. The world over
loves the man or woman that
stands firm as the rocks OF
Gibraltar on these momentus
questions, the right of which is
no longer debatable. We are
truly glad to have so many
sympathisers in the county. We
count on the editor of the Cilncf
Valley News every time, we
know where he stands.

A Right Fodder Cutter.

Hyter Crabtree, Clear Fork,
was here the other day, and
called around at the editors barn
where a fodder cutter was at
work to see how it was done.
He was highly pleased with the
manner in which this little
machine, driven by a 4-horre
power gasoline engine chopped
up the fodder, stalks and all,
and blew the fodder through a
spout up into the barn, the only
economical way to handle corn
fodder. The Star Milling Com
pany sells these machines, and
Prof. j. G.. Kelly knowns all
about running them.
One of these machines will do
the work for a number of farm
ers, and pay a good interest ON
original cost, which is cheap
enough.

A Hardware Store that Would Be a
Credit TO Any City.'

One of the pretties and finest
hardware stores in Southwest
Virginia is to be seen in this
town, that of Messrs. Peery and
st. Clair. In looking through
the big store one is impressed
by the tasty arrangement as
we'll as of the quality and quanti-
ty of goods displayed on the
large, roomy lower floor, and
the question comes up, why not
buy something useful for a
Christmas present which at the
same time is ornamental? For
instance, to name only a few
articles such as Ladies writing
desks, Cedar Chests, rockers,
Chairs, skirt and shirt waist
boxes, China closets, work
baskets, library tables, Hoosier
kitchen cabinets, side boards,
book cases, Office chairs, etc.
Here will be found also the
largest and best assortment of
1847 Rogers Brothers goods
knives. forks, table and tea
spoons and soup ladies'. Also
pocket knives in great variety.
The firm carries also the well
known Majestic Range, albumin
ware, fine buggies and lots OF
other things. If one is going te
make a really useful Christmas
present it would seem to be ar
easy matter to find it at this nice
store, no matter whether the
wad in the purse be large o.
small. Call and see for yourself
