TAzEWELL FAIR Is
NEXT ATTRACTION
Exhibits of Farm Products and
Stock to BE the Feature-The
Professional Horses Barred.

Not quite one month and the Great
Tazewell Fair will open. The schools
people are at work with vengeance
on the school exhibit. Their showing
last year, gotten up on very short
notice, was very gratifying, and, in
fact, big surprise to everybody
This year they have prospects for a
much better exhibition. Owing to
the time of holding the Fair this year
there should be great agricultural
exhibition of products, fruits, etc
The apple crop is one of the best ever
kown here, and the corn crop is fine,
and will be fully matured by October,
when the Fair will be held. The Fair
thise year will be something of an
experiment, in that there will be no
professional races, as heretofore. In
the judgment of n majority of the
management, it was thought wise to
cut out the races. The cost was con-
siderable, and in the opinion of many
wise citizens the moral effect of the
claimed that many people of the coun-
try remained away on this account.
On the other hand it is claimed that
the races were the chief attraction to
many, and that these now will not at
tend. And so, there is division of
opinion. A test will prove who is cor
rect. Will the one class about balance
the other class? Well see.
In the meantime, the real object of
the Fair, after all, is not amusement
but instruction and education, by the
exhibition and comparison of differ
erent products from the farm and
garden. The social feature, as well,
should be emphasized, but not to the
exclusion of the educational feature.
The citizen who looks upon the Fair
solely as an amusement organization
who is drawn there exclusively to see
n lot of bob-tailed, waspish horses
run or to thow ball at u darkey's
head stuck though n hole in q screen,
or to thow away money trying to ring
a cane or knife, had as well, or bet
ter, stay at home. Amusement we
must have, and when of the right kind
and within bounds, is all right, but
the chief object of the coming to-
gether of the citizens of a great coun-
ty like Tazewell should be and with a
large majority of them is, something
higher and better than passing amuse-
ment. The great agricultural in
terests of this county and its possibil-
tiles should be the constant study off
the farmers, and there is no betterway
to promote agricultural progress than
the exhibition and comparison of ag-
ricultural products. Houses have
been erected, and competent officers
appointed, and all necessary arrange
ments for all sorts of exhibitions free
of charge, and the farmers stand in
their own light if they fail to take ad-
vantage of the same.

HUMOR DEVELOPS
IN A LAW SUIT
Original Parties to Land Litiga-
tion Lose NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
tion Proceedings Unlawful.

There is such thing as real hu-
NOR even in long and protracted
law suit, and this was illustrated
by a decision of the Supreme Court
of Appeals which was handed down
this week. The Tazewell Coal & Iron
Company brought suit against j. S.
Gillespie and others some three years
ago, which involved tract of land in
Buchanan county, and that case went
to the Supreme Court of Appeals
twice. 1t was finally decided, and j.
S. Gillespie and others won. While
the suit was pending in the Court, p.
II. Williams and others brought suit
asserting that they owned the land.
Last Monday the Supreme Court de-
cided the last mentioned case, in favor
of p. ii. Williams and others; there
fore, the parties to the first suit were
fighting over property that did not
belong to any of them. The property
involved is worth about $25, 900. Mr..
p. ii. Williams was represented by
Mr.. Geo. w. st. Clair.
The Supreme Court of Appeals, in
session Mt Staunton, this week, hand
ed down number of important opin-
ions in cases from this section, and
among the number was the case of
Honaker & Kroll against the New
River, Holtson G. Western r. r. Co.,
from the Circuit Court of Bland coun-
ty. This was condemnation proceed
ings by the railroad company to con-
denim land for nearly n mile over the
lands of Messrs. Honaker & Kroll,
near Rocky Gap, Va, and was resist
ed by them on account of the destruc-
ton of very valuable water power,
and for inadequate damages award
ed by the Commissioners, and the Su
preme Court, by its decision, reverses
the Circuit Court of Bland county.
and holds that the entire proceeding
was nul and void for the reason that
it does not appear that the railroad
company, by its Board of Directors,
ever authorized the extension of said
line of railroad.
Judge S. w. Williams and Senator
j. Powell Royal represented Messrs.
Honaker and Krol.

The Number of Men.

A reader of this paper wishes to
know how many men compose certain
named divisions, ect., of an army.
He says he is unable to tell how many
soldiers are meant by these military
terms. AS we understand it, COM
pany numbers about 100 men, and is
commanded by a captain. A regi-
ment of about 1900 men; brigade,
OF about three regiments, say nine or
ten thousand men. A division is made
of about two brigades, say twenty
thousand men, and corps of about
forty thousand. Three corps would
be called an army, equipped with all
the field necessities and commanded
by the general, as the Confederate
army was commanded by General Lee.
This is about correct, we think.-Ed.

Schools Have Opened.

The schools of the county have be-
gun this years work-a work, in the
result of which, every citizen is deeply
involved, and should be intensely in
terested. In the majority of cases
the teachers are new to the schools.
How well they will succeed remains
to be seen. Every teacher is on trial,
and the results of the work are yet
to be accomplished. We bespeak for
these teachers two things; first, the
sympathy of the patrons. Many of
them are strangers to the community,
far from their homes, perhaps, and So
cially need and deserve recognition
and sympathy. Give them a welcome
in Church and Sunday School, and
into your homes. They are custodians
of your children's veal or woe. For
the children's as we'll as the teachers
sake, be kind and friendly.
And, give them cooperation. Help
the teacher to help your child. How?
In many ways. Uphold the authori-
ty, and approve, if possible, the meth
cd employed. See to it that "Johnny
gets his lesson" Don't "get" them
for him, but prudently and carefully
ease him over the hard places. If the
teacher spanks Johnny don't denounce
the teacher for so doing. Johnny
probably needed it. If things don't
suit you confer with teacher, instead
of criticising in Johnny's presence.
Patrons of the school should visit
the school. Teachers and pupils will
be glad to see you. In this way you
may get some idea of some of the
difficulties attending the work. The
Principal of our school here, Prof.
Gollehon, is no doubt a fine teacher.
He has fine corps of teachers, but
the school cannot do it's best work
without the aid and cooperation of
the patrons of the school. Can't we
have patrons Day." occasionally
day to be fixed by the Principal
when all, or as many as possible, of
the patrons will be invited to "come
to see u.s." and get acquainted? Why
not? Let everybody pitch right in to
try in every way to have best school
yet.
