That Fair Proposition.

The stockholders of the Tazewell
Fair Association are being asked as
to whether or not they are willing to
a proposition to sell out to the Gra-
ham-Bluefield fair people. Without
going into the merits of the question
here, we unhesitatingly say, from
the lights before us, that we are op-
posed to the proposition, and have
failed to find a single stockholder or
citizen who favors it, and we trust
the stockholders will decline the prop
osition. The county as we'll as the
town, the School Fair, the agricult-
ural interests of the county, all need
the Tazewell Fair Association, and
for these and other good reasons. the
proposition should be declined. True,
there are number of citizens of the
county, Judging from the interest they
take in the fair each year, would not
object to the proposition, but we
believe the large majority of the citi-
zens of the whole county would dis
like. very much to see such sale
made.

A certain faithful old horse, living
in the country, was driven to town one
day this week, and hitched to tele-
graph pole at the end of the street.
It was one of the very worst, snowy
blustery and cold days of the winter.
The young man with his pretty young
wife, came on into town and forgot
their horse. He stood there in the
cold all day, with no covering or din
ner, until just before dark, when the
owner came, and the old horse trotted
off, taking both of them home safely,
where, it is to be hoped, he got good
supper in warm stall. If we had
been in that horses place we would
have whaled away, kicked the buggy
all to splinters and left town for
home early in the day. Put your horse
in a stall when you come to town,
not forgetting to put few ears of
corn under the buggy seat or in your
saddle pockets for his dinner. If he
must stand out, throw the buggy robe
over his back. "a righteous man Ia

oifer to "The Parsons" At meeting
OF newspaper men il is said that one
OF them remarked that the preachers

OF the Lords Prayer. Instead of say

baked into bread. So. why not pray
for the puff if you like IL better?
Taken fguratively, however, the ed
itor of the News does not offer to
puff" tho parsons, but he gives us
the opportunity to puff" the good.
We should thank him, and we do.
When you stroll through an old
cemetery you often see very old,
moss covered, sometimes dilapidated,
tombstone from which the memorial
is almost erased. Finally, you make
1t out and then you have read all the
record there is to be found of the
individual who once lived and moved
and had his being among the men of
this world. Maybe none Of his rela-
tives are living and no one remembers
ever TO have heard his name or that
of any of his family. But there is
his epitaph and If il is honest it tells
us enough to enable us to link him
with our humanity and to think of
him as real man with his own prob
lens, virtues, vices, defeats and vic
tories. When you read the Book of
Nehemiah you come across the eco
MUM OF n man who lived about 1858
years ago: ~ gave Hananiah,
the ruler of the palace, charge over
Jerusalem; for he was faithful man
and feared God above many" (Neh.
7:2). This is also Hananiah's epitaph
and it is ALL we know about him in
words. But what world of light it
casts over the character of this man.
He was 80 faithful to God and his
fellowmen as ruler of the palace that
Nehemiah considered him fit to be
joint ruler with his own brother.
Hanani, over the entire city. Those
were perilous times when faithful men
were needed and highly priced. But
no more SO then than now. We need
faithful men and women today and
we have many of them. Hananiah
gave us no great production of
thought, word or deed. He was Just
faithful to God and man in his par
ticular sphere. Just being faithful in
this way on the part of people in
field and factory, shop and store,
home and school, in the church, the
state, and society, in the professional
worlds and everywhere, each in his
own sphere-this moves the world
along in the right direction. And
when the monuments of Eternity are
unveiled the ephitaphs Of most of us
will be: "Well node, thou faithful
