Fields Model Of Cleanliness.

North Tazewell, the little city
on the banks of the Clinch, has
sometimes been called "a sub
urb of Tazewell," but Il citi-
zens of that pretentious little
burg resent this appellation now.
They have a town of their own,

porated, with a full complement
of municipal officers and all the
paraphernalia of a city electric

of good retail stores ct cetera.
In fact they are inclined. at
times, to speak lightly of their
old mother, the town of Taze-
well, and ask with peculiar
wink of one eye, "when are you
going to wake up, and what are
you going to. do when you do
awake? North Tazewell put
on airs sometime ago and
threatened to move the court
house to that town, and some do
assert now that the improve
ment of the court house building
was hastened by the fear on
the part of Tazewell people that
such a calamity might possibly
be brought about. ANYHOW.
North Tazewell seems to be
getting on faily well without
the court house and slowly but
surely growing all the time.
The latest acquisition to the
town is the Packing Company

river on the north side. The

The Cost of Living High.

"The high cost of living and
the cost of high living, are two
entirely different propositions, "
says one of our close obervers.
The observation has been made
frequently heretofore. The trou-
BILE is we are not willing to live
as we did ten or even five years
ago. We want more now and
want it better than heretofore.
If we all were willing to live
now as then all around living
would be about the same. AS a
rule everything is nearly as
cheap as it was five years ago.
Flour, and sugar is about the
same. Shoes and clothes about
the same, but the trouble is we
are using a greater quantity of
these articles and more costly
than heretofore. If only we were
willing to eat and wear what we
need instead of what we want,
the cost of living would be
materially reduced, but we wont
do so. What we want we go
after whether we need it or not.
Heretofore if we wanted a costly
article of dress or food we did
without it often for expediency's
sake, but now to want and to
get and have mean the same
thing, go hand in hand. This is
true as it regards food, clothes
and shelter. We are consuming
richie foods wearing more
costly clothes and spending
more on our homes and their
furnishings. If only people were
willing to exercise economy
there would be less complaint
about the high cost of living.
But, instead people are motor
lously eXtravegant, both as to
food and clothes.
The merchants help the thing
along by carrying and display
ing in the most inviting manner
the costliest and highest priced
goods for the table and ward
robe, for old folks and children
for everything.
Economy" must be the slogan
if the cost of living is to be low
cred. Live respectfully and COM
fortably but within your income.
Eat and wear what is needed
rather than that what is want
ed. The weekly or monthly in
come, whatever it may be, should
show a little balance left over
every month for a rainy day.
The cost of living is just what
we make it.

action is contemplated by many
telephone patrons in this town

by many that neither provision

BACK HOME FROM
BERMUDA ISLANDS
Iazewell Folks Have Delightful Sea
Trip, and Bring Home Momentos
of the Famous Resort.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Doak and
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Il. Harman
reached home Wednesday on
their return from Bermuda Is
lands and New York, all in fine
shape, after an unusually pleas
ant trip. The party spent five
days in Bermuda, enjoying
greatly the sights ana scenes of
that wonderful island city. The
party left Tazewell November
18th, New York on the 22nd, and
landed in Bermuda on the 24th.
The steamer Bermudian, on
which they shipped, carried on
this trip about $50 passengers.
On the return trip much rough
weather was encountered, and
all o f the Tazewll party took
turns at feeding the fish" OK
cept Mr.. Doak. Bermuda Islands
has population of $4,000. Fif-
teen thousand OF these are ne
groes. Mr.. Doall says the negroes
are intelligent and many of them
wealthy. The whites and blacks
attend the same schools and
churches, but otherwise live en-
tircly apart. There are no street
cars or automobiles or steam
conveyanccs of any kind on the
Islands due. Mr.. Doall says, to
the nature of the roadways. The
Islands, as everybody knows, is
a coral formation; the roads are
therefore soft, and also very
crooked, lodging around jutting
ridges of the mountains, and are
entirely impracticablc for auto
mobiles. Travel is by vehicles
drawn by horses. of which there
are many. The islands depend
entirely upon the clouds for
water for domestic purposes.
Consequently the town has many
cisterns, those on the mountain
sides, hewn out Of the solid cor
al stone. The material for roads
and for building purposes is
taken from the coral quarries.
Mr.. Doak saw workmen saving
building blocks from coral with
handsaws. He says the stone
saws soft and pulpy, reminding
him of tough, puply wood. AS
will be seen the houses and
buildings are white; the noun
tains are covered with white
buildings and cedar trees. Trop-
ical fruits and shrubbery grow
in the garden and parks and al
though Bermuda is a picturesque
and beautiful city. The people
grow fruits, potatoes and onions
but get the bulk of their money
from tourists the year around.
Mr.. Doak, among number of
souvenirs. brought sample
of onions, grown there-the
sample resembles our potato
onions grown here.
He started with dozen, but
found only nine when he got
home. He accuses his wife or
Mrs. Harman of eating three of
them on the way. Brother Doale
brought home number of
specimens of coral, life leaves
and the fruit of the mango tree,
some of which he gave the News
office, all of which. as well as
his description of his trip and
the beautiful Bermuda, makes
one wish he had plenty of mon
ey and time at his disposal.

TAzEWELL AGAIN
in THE LIME-L|CHT
Patrick Henry Braved the Wilds Of
Abbs Valley on Hunt-- ---Messen-
ger Notified Him of Election.

The Southern Homeseeker and
Investors Guide, for December,
an attractive publication issued
monthly by the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company, has
an article by Mr.. G. E. Cassell,
on the Home of Patrick Henry.
in which article the following
interesting statement occurs:
"He was statesman for the
states sake. He sought no office,
he refused many. When he was
elected Governor he was in what
is now known as Abbs Valley.
Tazewell county Virginia. The
message bringing the news
found him lying asleep with his
head en- his saddlebags, resting
from a weary days hunting"
Patrick Henry was elected
Governor of Virginia first in
1776, and reelected to three
terms afterwards, the last time
in 1884. Governors in those days
were elected, it seems for only
one year, and eligible to re-
election.
From Judge Graham it is
learned that Patrick Henry had
a sister living at Saltvill-a Mrs.
Russell. She was known as
Madam Russell, and was in
terested in the Salt works.
Judge Graham says further, 81
think he had a sister there also
who was the wife Of William
Campbell"
1t was, perhaps, on one of his
visits to his sisters at Saltville
that he visited Tazewell and
Abbs. Valley on his return to his
home in Eastern Virginia.
Between the dates, 1776-1784,
during which time he was
Governor of the State, this entire
section of the State was unsettl-
ed or partely settled, and full of
Indians, and if the DISTINGUISHED
Virignian took his nap with his
saddlebags for a pillow in "the
big woods. he ran the risk of
losing his scalp. There is no re-
liable data as to the exact time
of his visit to Abbs Valley, but
it is known that those were
troublous times in Tazewell and
all this section. When he was in
Abbs Valley there were few
settlers there. 1t was in the
summer of 1876 that the Moore
family was murdered and de-
stroyed.
In 1882 a young man who lived
in the family of Capt. Moore
was killed by Indians. Two
years later James, a son of Capt.
Moore, was captured by the
Indians and carried off and kept
for 5 years. In 1882 there were
only two families living in
Burke's Garden. AS late as 1893,
depredations were committed by
Indians in what is now Thomp-
son Valley and on Cove Creek.
Tazewell county was created in
1893, ana Cne town OF JEFFERSON
vile laid out in 1900. These few
historical facts are recited only,
to show how vast was the wild
erness in which Patrick Henry
visited and hunted and slept,
which incidents have been dug
up from the charnel house of
the past where they have repos-
ed unseen for more than one
hundred and thirty seven years.
The historical department of
the Clinch Valley News will be
glad to hear of any traditions or
facts which may have been
handed down in Abbs Valley or
elsewhere, concerning this or
any other unwritten history of
this county or section. Can
brother Oscar B. Moore help out?

load of hogs was received at the
packing house this week, the
home supply not being sufficient.
Tazewell farmers and stockmen
can find here ready market in
the future for their surplus
stock at prices. it is said, which
will make shipments to other
markets unnecessary.
OF one thing, and a very i'm
portant thing, the public can
rest assured that any package,
whether of meat, sausage or
lard, with Tazewell Packing
Comp lny's label on it, is abso-
lutely clean and pure. Every
pound of every package is close
" inspected, and put up scrupu-
lously clean. The building is
clean, the sanitary conditions
are ideal. There is no suspicion
of or semblance of dirt anywhere
in any department.
The sanitary part of the bust
ness is under the direct super
vision of of DR.. O. j. Huth, an
expert government official, who
is sent and paid by the United
States government to do nothing
else but overlook and direct the
sanitation of the company's
plant and output. DR.. Huth is
an expert veterinarian, meat in
spector and all. He looks over
the animals carefully before
they are slaughtered, and if
there is any suspicion whatever
of anything wrong the animal is
80 marked that the carcass can
be identified after being killed,
when it is again given Il thor
ough inspection and examina-
ton, is discarded. Few people
perhaps appreciate the value Of
the services rendered by these
government inspectors. Before
this new law was passed pack
ing houses were able to conduct
their business tosuit themselves
and in their own way. and often,
through Ignorance or otherwise.
packed and shipped me ats total
ly unfit for use. The public did
not know what they were get
ting or eating. Not so now.
Every packing house is now
subject to rigid inspection, and
all goods must be put up accord
ing to the latest and most ap-
proved methods.
The TazewelI Packing Com
pany's plant, to the eye of vis-
itor, has every appearance of
absolute cleanliness. The stuning
of sausage, rendering and put
ting up lard, slaughtering, dres-
sing and putting up of meats, is
all done under the supervision of
DR.. Huth. and some of the boys
remarked, che is mighty partic-
ular."
1t is said that the packing
housee uses every part of the
hog except the squeal. The
Tazewell Packing Company is
now making valuable fertilizing
material from the contents of
the entrails Of the slaughtered
animals and so every part of the
animal will be utilized for some
purpose beneficial.
AS to whether or not the en-
terprise will be Of great finan-
cial profit to the stockholders
cannot yet be determined, but
from the start made and the
manner in which the business
is being conducted it is no risk
to predict that the plant will
pay a handsome dividend, and
certainly be of great benefit in
many ways to to this entire sec
ton.
A complete Its of the stock
holders cannot be given here.
