BROWNINCS WIN
Big DAMAGE SUIT
u. S. Circuit Court Sets Aside
Verdict of Lower Court in
in Big Vein Case, in Which a
TaZewell LAWYER Figures.

Attorney T. G. Bowen, of Counsel
for the Brownings, was notified by
wire Wednesday afternoon that the
United States Circuit Court of APP
pcals, sitting in Richmond, had rem
dcred decision in favor of his
clients in the suit they had pending in
that court for 100000 against the
Big Vein Pocnhontas Coal Company,
and others, growing out OF the lcas-
ing and sale of certain coal lands and
mines belonging to the plaintiffs, the
litigation extending over three years.
History of the Case.
More than three years ago Mrs.
Browning leased to the defendants n
mine and large tract of coal lands
III this county, near Pocahontas.
The agreed price was 100000 with
minimum royalty of $22,500 for the
first three years and thereafter
royalty of $4,000 per year. The lease
IN the first place was made to Thos.
L. Boswell, and he in turn turned it
over to the Big Vein Coal Company,
which assumed to fulfil the contract
Mrs. Browning was paid all told
$4,000 and the company erected and
operated for sometime II large mining
plant On decree of Judge Mcdowell
the property was then thown into
the hands of II receiver. Mrs. Brown
ing's claims for the original $l25000
due her under the contract was re-
sisted, the company, among other
things, contcnding that she had mis-
represented the property, and caused
them thereby to have erected larger
plant than was necessary.

Biggest Wheat Crop This Year.

Washington, June 8.-Nine hun
dred million bushels of wheat, almost
half of the average worlds produc-
tion, and new record for the United
States, is prospective total yield of
the farms of the country this year,
the department of agriculture an
nounced today in its June crop re-
port. The enormous crop will be 1877,
100000 bushels more than ever was
grown before in the United States in
any one year. Excellent weather for
growing crop and an increase of a
per cent. in the acreage planted to
wheat are responsible. There is also
large yields of oats and barley, prob
ably second in size in the history of

The Drought in West Virginia.

Less than twenty days remains. to
the saloon reign in Bluefield and West
Virginia. Think of beerless Blue
field and saloonless West Virginia!
Who could or would have believed it a
few years ago? The saloon men are
said to be making every effort to dis
pense with what they have on hands.
1t is stated that several saloon men.
taking orders here short time ago,
were selling their goods at so per
cent off. While they were unloading
their stock they loaded up to the
brim number of fellows in this lit
tie burg. These same saloon men, it
is said, strongly favor local option as
just and fair means of obtaining
an expression of the VIII of the peo-
pie. Tazewell has local option and
these people violate it every time
they ship liquor here, hence the state
wide campaign. The result of the
new order in West Virginia will be
watched with interest.

Drought Still On.

AT this writing, Wednesday after
noon, the protracted drought is still
ON, with little prospect of rain. The
weather report gives no hope of rain
within the next day or two anyway.
The rain which fell last Friday did
some little good, but was too soon
over. The crops are, of course, suf-
fcring. Corn is beginning to need
rain badly. Some of it is turning yell
low. Fruits and vegetables are being
seriously effected. The gardens are
kept partially alive by sprinkling
from hydrants. Cattle are being turn
ed into meadows, and the hay crop
will he cut down mt least three
fourths. The outlook is not cheer
ful, but if rains come within n few
days good crop of corn can he made.
The last good rain here was ON Nav
Sth, more than thirty days ago. Like
conditions prevail nearly all over the
State. In the cotton, tobacco and the
trucking sections the farmers are ms

Sweet Corn Suckers.

A friend asks: "Must l pull the
suckers off my sweet corn?" Prof.
Massey says, no. One writer saws
the corn is injured by removing the
suckers, but does not state how or
why. Common sense and reason
seems to teach that the growth of q
large number of suckers on a plant
of any kind Injuries the fruit or grain,
This certainly is true of tomatoes,
fruit trees, etc. If suckers are al
lowed to remain on the stalk until
we'll grown, it may injure the stalk
to remove it, causing wounds, etc.
To remove the suckers when young
and small will prove benefcial-give
larger and better ear. 1t is claim
ed that a sucker will sometimes bear
an ear. l have never seen this the
case. 1 should say remove the suck
ers early before they become hard
and large, and better and larger
yield will result. This has been my
experience. j. A. l..

Early Closing Hours.

Everywhere, during the heated
term, stores are closing earlier and
opening later. In New York and
Philadelphia, and perhaps other large
cities, the stores are giving Satur-

not the clerks, most of whom are
girls, in Tazewcll stores, have some
such consideration? or course, our
stores cannot close ON Saturday, hut

DR.. w. II. Dunnigan, the nursery
