The Burke's Garden Sprachers.

Mr.. Isaac Spracher, of Burke's
Garden, was here on Monday,
and called at this office. He sell
dom comes to town, and this
visit to the News office was one
of a very few ever made us.
His brother, the late Stephen
Spracher, was a frequent caller,
and always a welcome one. The
Spracher family is an interesting
one from several points of view,
mainly, that of a large family
of 10 children, only two of them
were ever married, one of these
being now dead.
In the year 1912 George
Spracher moved from Wythe
county to Burke's Garden, and
lived on the farm now owned by
Jno. D. Greever. One of his
sons, John, was the father of
the present Spracher family.
They have lived in Burke's Gar
den all their lives. Isaac, above
mentioned, is the only male
member of the family living
here. He is Cd years of age.
With him live his three sisters
Misses Sallie, Cynthia and
Lorena-two Of whom are
younger and one older than he.
Neither of these have ever mar
ried. They have lived quiet,
peaceful lives on their farm all
these years. The entire family
are noted for their uprightness
and integrity, as we'll as for
their disinclination to married
life, Notwithstanding all the
good examples set them by their
neighbors in this thickly pop
ulated district, said to be 1.-THE
Garden Spot of The World.

Only One of His Kind.

]. E. Mutter, Pounding Mill,
was here Wednesday and joined
the crowd innumerable. Mutter
enjoys the distinction of being
the only professional, machine
shearer in the county. He has q
gasoline engine which operates
four knives or clippers, and he
can yank off a sleeps coat be-
fore you can say scat! He says,
if nothing hinders one man can
shear about 280 sheep a day. He
has two boys and hires one man,
and "makes the wool fy". Mr..
Mutter is a sensible and indus
trious man, and gets all he can
do in season, with his machine,
in this county and a part OF
Russell. So far as known his is
the only sheep-shearing machine
in the county.

A Worthy Colored M an.

This office is in receipt of a
letter from VIM. Tiffany, a
worthy colored man, living on
the farm of Mr.. A. st. Clair, on
Bluestone, which deserves some
notice. He has been almost en-
tirely bed-ridden for years from
rhuematism, and during all this
time has been cared for and
kindly treated by the family of
Mr.. st. Clair and, he says, other
white people of the community
have also kept him in mind, and
administered to his daily wants
in every way. For all these
kindnesses he is humbly CRATE
full. and desires publicly to ex-
press his gratitude through the
columns of this paper. The
family of Tiffany's have been in
the st. Clair family all their
lives. They belonged to Mr..
Tiffany, the father of Mrs. st,
Clair, and for many years have
been connected with this house.

A Sow With a Record.

Mr.. w. o. Williams, SEWER

the county. He is prospering on
his farm of 120 acres, near

Incidentally he gave the fol-

and has netted in cash in pigs

pork for the family for two
seasons. In the meantime she
lost 8 pigs. She is still in the
business, has a litter of 8 now,

An Honest Man.

When an article of value is
found in the road or street it is
clear that someone lost it. The
proper thing to do is to make
inquiry for the owner by adver-
tising in a newspaper if nee
essary. The editor dropped his
riding bride sometime ago, and
concluded finally that it had
been stolen. His neighbor and
friend, Mr.. Helmandollar, had
found it. and after making dill
igent inquiry finally found the
owner and the bride was re-
stored. No one has a right to
an article belonging to another
person. If the owner cannot be
found the finder is justifable in
appropriating the article to his
own use. but only after making
every effort to restore the article
to the rightful owner.

new HOTEL ON THE
SURFACE PROPERTY
Building Suitable For Summer Visi-
itors--Park, Ball Ground, Tennis
Court, Etc., is Now Proposed.

In regard to the Surface prop
erty proposition. The suggestion
is made on another page of this
paper, that fine opportunity is
afforded here to erect needed
hotel, suitable for the accom-
mediation of summer visitors.
The proposition is heartily en-
dorsed, but doubt is freely ex-
pressed as to getting together
a sufficient amount of money for
the purpose. Tazewell people,
who have money, have not as
yet, come to think such a move
necessary or wise. Some time
ago Mr.. Geo. w. st. Clair en-
deavored to promote a new hotel
on the Payne lot, but did not
meet with great encouragement,
and dropped it. tEas
But this other site is far
superior for such a hotel as is
now in mind, and might be Sc
cured il properly approached.
Who will attempt it, is the ques-
ton.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Harman
the promoter of the new scheme,
not to build a hotel, but to lay
Off the property, giving about a
acres in one boundary, in the
meadow, at actual cost, for
baseball grounds, tennis courts,
park, etc, and the rest in build
ing and pasture lots.
The organization of an athletic
association is proposed to take
up the matter, buy the grounds,
etc. This seems plausible
scheme. About $4,000 will be
necessary to buy the 4 acres.
Just how this new proposition
will work out remains to be
demonstrated. Is there public
spirit and enterprise enough in
town and community to do this
thing?

The District Attorneysbip.

The Times-Dispatch contained
a column article last Monday
on the political situation
in the State, with reference to
federal appointments, special
attention being given to the
fight for U. S. attorney for the
western district of Virginia.
Mr.. William III. Werth, of Taze-
well and Richard Evelyn Byrd,
of Winchester, are candidates
for the position tosucceed Barns
Gillespie, whose term expires
May l., 1914. The Dispatch
stated that Senator Martin and
several other members of the
Virginia delegation in Congress
favor Byrd's appointment, but
that Congressman Jones, a
recognized progressive, was
pushing the appointment Of Mr..
Werth. Congressman Montague
has stated that he thinks the
appointment of Byrd has been
decided upon by the administra-
tion.
