When the exiIed king and his bride
were entertained by the Queen Mother,
recently, the Court Circular, issued
from Marlborough House described
them as King Manuel and Queen Au-

as a sign that King George had OFF,

they are still young men. There is n
large number of fine looking young
boys and girls there, and they are
doing well.
Mr.. Il. M. Greear is the handsome
and intelligent Superintendent of the
Sunday School, which meets regu-
larly. He is backed up and helped
out by number of intelligent, faith
full teachers. If only the intelligent,
influential business men of the coun-
try would throw their weight in fa-
vor of the Sunday School! It's
mans job, as we'll as womans. Also
it may seem strange statement to
make, it is n fact, that right around
this school and every other school in
county, there are number of good
women who never darken tho door of
the churches work shop. They have
no job, don't want any and wouldn't
have one if you gave it to them. 1t
is to be hoped this state of things will
improve.
Before the preaching hour the sec
retary of the county association was
allowed n few minutes TO make n
statement about the county work and
the annual convention in June, and n
few occasional remarks" about the
work in general. Superintendent
Greear asked for collection for the
county work and "passed the hat"
himself,an got the nice sum of'S3.21.
This was nice, decent thing to do.
The county work has been run for
nearly four years almost without any

tary and others will ask for n little

WADE LYBROOK IS
CAUGHT IN CHICAGO
Tazewell Negro, Who Separated
$3.50 From His BrOthr-in-Law
Will Have to Explain to Court.

Sergeant Thompson returned on
Tuesday afternoon from Chicago,
bringing with him Wade Lybrook,
wanted here for larceny and other
oifenses. Lybrook was arrested by
the Chicago police several days ago
upon evidence furnished from this
town, which enabled them to locate
the man easily. Lybrook was lodged
in Jail here to await the action of the
grand jury.
The specific oifensc with which he
is charged is that of getting under
false pretenses the sum of $3.50 from
his brotherm-law, Allen Chapman,
of this town. The process of sepa-
rating Allen from his money occurr-
ed about year ago, since which time
Allen has been on the hunt for Ly-
brook. From confidential source he
learned that Lybrook had taken up
quarters in Chicago. Quietly the au-
thorities here got rcquisition from
the Governor of Virginin, and M soon
as the proper papers were secured
Lybrook was gathered in by the Chi
cago police.
Chapman lost the money year or
more ago through false representa-
tions on the part of Lybrook as to the
ownership of certain property in Mcr-
Ger county, which Lybrook claimod
was free from indebtedness Chap
man agreed to loan Lybrook $250.0O,
provided Lybroot presented certih-
Gates from the Clerk of Mercer coun-
ty and lawyers of that county show
ing that the property was free from
any entanglemcnts. Lybrook pro-
duccd the certificates and Chapman
turned over the money. 1t develop
cd later that the certificates produc-
cd by Lybrook were forgeries, and
that the property he owned in Mer-
Ger county was covered with leins and
other obligations.

MRS.N.B. HONAKER
KILLED BY TRAIN
Well Known Russell County La
dy is Run Down BY Freight
in Sight of Her Home.

Mr.. G. B. johnson, an attorney, of
Honaker, was here on Wednesday and
gave the following account of dis
tressing railroad accident, which oc-
Cured at that town early Wednes-
day morning, in which one of the
best and most prominent women of
Honaker, Mrs. N. b. Honaker, was
almost instantly killed by being run
, down by No. sc, an east bound freight

He said that Mrs. Honaker had
been to the store and was returning,
walking on the track, just west of the

to cross over, and stepped on the
main line, in front of the engine.
She was almost instantly killed, liv-
ing only few moments after being
carried to hotel nearby.
For years Hotel Honaker was one
of the most popular and we'll known
hostelries on the Clinch Valley di-
vision and Mrs. Honaker known as
one of the very best and finest Chris
tian women of the country. Num-
bers of travelling men and others will
learn of her tragic death with deep
regret.
Besides husband, N. B. Honaker,
she leaves four children-3 daught-
ers and one son. Before marriage
she was Miss Wysor, sister to John
w. Wysor, of Elk Garden, and near
relative of the late B. j. Wysor. She
was 81 years old.

little ones short time after it was
killed. Mrs. Compton killed the snake
with hoe. Mike and Will Dinan,

The Outlook.
North Tazewell, Ap

North Tazewell, April 21.
Editor the News:-Considerinr all
circumstances the campaign "iniat-
ed" at Bristol with events, comments
and Incidents which have followed, it
is wonderful and auspicious. In our
long history of struggle and defeat
nothing like the last three weeks has
ever marked u canvass in the dis
trict. Beginning with our county
meeting here which contained more
representative men than many dis
trict conventions of recent years. We
said at Bristol such gathering of
able, earnest and enthusiastic citi-
Zens as has never been brought to-
gether in district, and rarely in a
State convention. It's portent is OBJ
vious, and the signs of the times un-
mistakable.
There is n tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at its flood flows on to
fortune.
This is our time and our tide. The
great party that has poured the treas
ure of the nation into the Ninth dis
trict, "the hope of the South" has
gone, into history, and one more or
one less will count for nothing in the
pitiful minority of the next Congress.
Bosses have gone into the great re-
sidum, and money can no longer count
to sway the Democrat without pride
or the Republican who counts a two
dollar bill as of more worth than his
honor.
Times are changed and men change
with them," Thirteen months have
demonstrated a fact long seriously
doubted by our Republican friends
that Democrats can not only run
this government and improve on Re
publican methods" Truly it must
look to them as if the sceptre had de-
parted from Juda, and the law giver
from beneath her knees"
It's true we are counting out
the Roosevelt Progressives, but when
the Colonel gets out of the wilderness
he will find all his available tenets
appropriated by Wilson and the best
OF them inscribed ont the statute books
all but female suffrage and the re-
call of judicial decisions.

ultimate aim is to pave the entire
distance.
