The "Mikado" For Next Week.

Perhaps one of the most in
teresting and delightful enter
tainments will be the forthcom-
ing reproduction. on an elaborate
scale, of the justly famous comic
opera The Mikado', by the
home talent of Tazewell, assist
ed by visiting talent.
The Mikado, as is well known.
is one of Gilbert and Sullivan's
greatest successes, has become
famous in all the world of
amusement for it's high-class,
pure, pure comedy, delightful
music and .eXtravagant situa-
tions.
Rehearlas have begun and the
company is being enlarged; a
competant cast of characters is
being selected, and the most
careful work in the training is
going forward-all seem inter
ested in giving a very creditable
production and if hard work
counts, the presentation of The
Mikado is is expected to be one
OF the very best offerings of it's
kind ever given in our city.
The Mikado-opera is being
given under the auspices of the
Tazewell Music Club-is an
organization which fully merits
the hearty support of the public
at large, for it's motive in wish
ing to promote greater inter-
est in musical matters.

GETTYSBURG SEES
ANOTHER BATTLE
Knives Are Used Instead of Guns to
Bad Effect, Caused By Remarks
on Fcrner President Lincoln.

Wednesday evening, about z
O'Clock. according to yesterday S
reports, a fight occurred in a
Gettysburg hotel dining room
between northern and southern
sympathizers, in which seven
men were severely stabbed,
some of them seriously.
All the men cut were register
ed from Pennsylvania, except
enc who was from Bedford
county, Virginia.
According to the best inforrna-
tion obtainable some southern
man, not veteran, applied an
ugly epithet to Abraham Lin
coin. A union veteran resented
it hotly, grabbed a glass or bot
tie and threw it at the man who
was defaming Lincoln, and the
trouble began. Friends of both
parties rushed in, knives were
drawn and slashing went on
right and left until seven men
were hurt. The dining room was
crowded at the time, and there
was great confusion and scam
pering of guests, many of whom
were ladies. The Union veteran
who threw the bottle or glass
and set the ball in motion,
escaped in the confusion and
finished his supper elsewhere.
Several men, charged with the
cutting, were arrested and
locked up. This, so far as re-
ported, was the only unpleasant
incident of the celebration,
which in all respects was a
great and successful occasion.
The statement is made that hot
weather, hot headedness and
hot liquor was responsible for
the trouble.
The Tazewell delegation of
Confederate Veterans left here
last Monday morning for the
reunion at Gettysburg. About
twenty-three took the train at
Tazewell station, and four or
five were picked up at Graham.
Major James P. Whitman, Com
mander of the Browne-Harman
Camp, was in charge of the
party. The party was composed
of the following:
William Rich, j. B. Caudill,
Austin Kincer, S. G. McBryde,
A. j. Bowman, Joseph Noel,
James Raines, r. F. Crockett,
j. c. Wingo, M. M. Pruett, D.
c. Church, Henry Phillips, Jas.
Conley, VIM. M. Hurt, M. Muir
ray, Joe Rose, w. j. Buskill, j.
S. l.. Dills, w. L. Edmonds, R.
w. Bowman, w. B. Smith, w.
w. Gravely, Elijah Osborne,
Granville Bailey. Those above
mentioned were provided with
free transportation by the coun-
ty.
Others in the party were w.
L. Moore, j. P. Whitman,
Thomas Hankins, R. M. Lawson,
Major r. R. Henry and possibly
Others.
So far as is known the trip
was made safely and without
incident. 1t is said that instead
of arriving at Gettysburg at 8
O'Clock Monday night, the
special train did not reach it's
destination until the next morn
ing. The train was held at Hagers
town, about forty miles from
Gettysburg.
Unless unexpected expenses
are incurred by the Tazewell
soldiers at Gettysburg or un-
avoidable contingencies arise,
about $3.50 of the $500 appropria-
tion made by the Supervisors
will be returned to the county.
Many of the veterans in this
county, who expected to attend
the Gettysburg meeting, very
wisely backed out at the last
meeting minute on account of
the extreme heat. The party
from this county are expected
back today or Saturday.

as to whether or not he had knowl-
