Name, Please.

The Sandy Valley News enters
this its third year under the
present management with the
determination to prevent any
little number five headed stand
patter of Tazewell county from
being elected to Conrgess next
fall. No gilded youth, who has
no personal qualities of his own,
but who wants to acquire a seat
in Congress as a byproduct of
his family wealth will ever reach
his coveted goal, if the Roose-
velt men of this district can
prevent it, and we think we

Editor of the News:-I have
Just returned from Mcdowell

met many of my old friends and
acquaintances, one of whom, q
postmaster, and who aksed me
to use my influence as | am
Senator Chilton's close friend
to secure this position, which he
holds, and who was q former
Democrat, but changed his poll
tics to secure the postoffice. |
advised him to change his poll
ties again, and he asked me if
that was the law, governing
politics. He has changed once
in order to get an ofiice-he
might be successful by changing
again. further asked him If
the Republicanss had sworn
him into their party, and he
said no, but that they made him
pawn his honor to support the
Republican party. further said
to him that | did not think the
promise was binding upon him.
and that if he would confess
his sins he might succeed.
Yours very truly. ELI.

A Remarkable Instance.

Brother lessee Mundy and his
old friend and neighbor, brother
Mitchell Murray, were here on
Tuesday, and Mr.. Murray relat-
ed a remarkable instance O { a
horse that was dead but came to
life.
Mr.. Murray said that about
two weeks ago, on going to his
barn to feed. he found one of his
horses dead. He arranged to
drag him away-hitched a horse
to him, dragged him outside,
and got another horse and hitch
ed the two to the dead horse
chain around his neck, and start
ed, humping along over rough
ground and stones, when presto
the horse came to life and Jump
ed to his feet, and was soon
back in the stall. The horse is
dead now, however. He lived a
week or so after his strange and
unusual experience. The above
facts are given by the two re-
liable men named, and is a true
statement.

BEST PRESIDENT

Thos. f. Ryan Pays High Tribute
to Woodrow Wilson, Strongly
Endorses Currency Measure.

The New York Daily World
of Tuesday says:
"Thoinas F. Ryan, appearing
in the financial district yester-
day for the first time in several
months, commented on the fact
that the National Bank of Com
merce, of which he is stock
holder, has announced it will
join theFederal reserve organiza-
tion.
Il hope all the other national
banks will do the same" he
added. "The whole country is
proud of President Wilson for
the mastery way in which he
handled the most difficult situa-
ton and got good results. con-
slider it the greatest achieve
ment of any Pesident since
Lincoln.
1t would be unfair to him and
unpatriotic generally to with
hold the most hearty supprt of
The great measure he has evolved
and made fact.

ling and glad to do that and so
ought everybody to be, after
what he has done. He is great
man and a great President and
the greatest thing about him is
that he plays no favorites."

placing in our public schools par
tizan histories to mislead the
minds of our children, and yet
our work is not complete. We
will ask the present legislature
of Virginia to increase the pen
sions of the Confederate veteran
and the widows of Confederate
Veterans, the increasing of $3.50
at prsent to $1,000. the amount
that Confederate veteran NAV
be possessed of before he is de-
barred from drawing a State
pension, and other things look
ing to the betterment of the vet
Grams at the soldiers home in
Richmond. And now, in conclu-
sion, to say that ] was surprised
at your comments on Mr.. Tyler's
article, is expressin g it mildly.
If you had been publishing your
paper in the sixties and express
ed yourself similarly, | doubt
whether you would have escaped
with your life, your plant would
have been demolished, and You
would have fled your home a
refugee. You certainly did not
consider how harsh and unpleas-
ant these comments have fallen
on the old Veteran. But four
years of service, under Ii irdship
and discipline, taught us a les
son of patience and endurance,
so we will overlook this matter,
with your promise OF doing bet
ter in the future. 1t is through
a spirit of brotherly love that
these organizations exist, and
will continue to exist North and
South, and not for the purpose
Of injecting into the minds of
the people an unbrotherly or un-
kindly feeling, as you would
make it appear, and to preserve
the honor and loyalty of a noble
and generous people.
Very respectfully,
JAS. P. WHITMAN.

POLITICAL POT is
BEGINNING TO BOIL
Reported That Numerous Appoint
ments Are to be Made in Ninth
District iii a Short Time"

The Washington correspondent
in yesterdays Roanoke Times
states that ii is practically cer-
tain that State Senator John M.
Hart, of Roanoke, will be nomi
mated, within the next few days.
by the President for collector of
internal revenue for the western
district of Virginia, and that
Lee Clark, of Patrick, will be
Likewise named for United States
Marshall for the western dis
trict. These reports being true
the inference is justifable that
other deferred appointments in
this district will be made at an
early day, including those of
postmasters in this section.
There has been considerable
speculation as to just why the
appointment of postmasters in
this and other sections has been
so long delayed. The Democrats
have been in power now nearly
twelve months and Republican
office holders are still drawing
salaries, which rightfully belong
to the victors of 1912. The ap-
pointments for Virginia have
been made about in spots, but
the indications are now that the
whole docket will be cleared up
within short time.

acre. The Clinch Valley News is
proud of so many fine people as

The House by The Side Of the Road,

There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the peace of their self content:
There are souls, like stars, that
dwell apart,
In fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that
blaze their paths
Where highways never ran;
But let me live by the side of
the road,
And be a friend to man.
Let me live in a house by the
side of the road
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the
men who are bad,
AS good or as bad as |.
| would not sit in the scorner's
seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban;
Let me live in a house by the
side of the road,
And be friend to man.
| know there are brook gladden.
ed meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome
height;
That the road passes on through
the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night
But still | rejoice when the
travellers rejoice,
And weep with the strangers
that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side {
of the road
Like man who dwells alone.
Let me live in a house by the 4
side of the road y
Where the race of men 60 by
They are good, they are had.
they are weak, they are stong,
Wise, foolish--so am I.
Then why should I sit on the
scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the
side Of the road
And be a friend to man..

Several members of the new railroad
bridge crew had quite a job Tuesday
forenoon in rescuing a big timber
from one of the derricks, which was
lost overheard and drifted down the
river. The timber caught in the ice at
the lower end of the open water above
the Kennbec bridge, going partly un-
der, but some of the men took a
CHARGE on the thin ice and got a line
around it and tried to haul it out from
point up on the east shore, but the
line parted Another try was made
later by getting a long line fast to
the timber from the west shore, and
this time they were successful and
hauled the timber out on the ice and
to the shore. The current where the
timber was is very swift and it was a
risky job getting a line on the big
stick.

"Bouaht and Paid For"

Bought and Paid For comes to the
Opera House on Tuesday evening,
Jan. 9th. This comedy ran for fifteen
months at the Playhouse, New York,
winter and summer before leaving the
theat ter where it first started upon its
really marvellous career. The intepre-
tation and scenic production, just as
it will be shown in this city, received
the earnest appreciation of the New
York critics, no less than that of the
great crowds which fiocked to see it
month in and month out. When Mr.
Brady organized this cast, and caused
the members to play for a considerable

Suggests Grandmother's Remedy.
It's true, the season is here with
it's sudden changes, and the old idea
that we need q blood medicine is not
without reason. Too much heavy
food has caused a torpid liver, slug

feeling.
Sulphur, cream of tartar and mo-
lasses was grandmother's remedy but
that has long ago been displaced by
Vinol. a combination of the two most
world famed tonics, namely, the med
icinal curative elements of the Gods

Vinol builds you up, makes you eat
more and digest better, makes your

Actress Tells Secret
a Well Known Actress Tells How She
Darkened Her Gray Hair and Pro-
NOTED Its Growth With a Simple
Home Made Mixture.

Miss Blanche Rose, a wenknown
actress, who darkened her gray hair
with simple preparation which she
mixed at home, in a recent interview
at Chicago, H., made the following
statement: ANY lady or gentleman
can darken their gray hair and make
it soft and glossy with this simple
recipe, which they can mix at home.
To half pint of water add l or. of
bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com
pound. and Il OF. of glycerine. These.
ingredients can be bought at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to the
hair twice a week until it becomes the
required shade. This will make a gray
haired person look 20 years younger,
1t Is also fine to promote the growth
of hair relieves itching and scalp hui
mors and is excellent for dandruff
and falling hair."-Adv.
