a QUESTION FOR PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICANS.

1t is claimed by Mr.. Hartman and
others, that there was fusion of
Progressives and Republicans at Bris-
toll. That Mr. Slemp is now standing
on the Progress platform. And yet,
when an out and out, true Progress
sive comes to Tazewell to speak the
Republicans stay away, and try to
keep everybody else away. Common
sense and reason would seem to say
that real Progressives would be anxi-
Gus to hear Progressive speak. The
veil of sham is too thin. Mr.. Slemp
is straddling two platforms-a Pro-
gressive for revenue only, and any
voter of Tazewell or anywhere else,
Democrat, Progressive or Republican
who can be caught by such bait or
fooled by such claptrap as is put out
by the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS follow
ers of Slemp-well, he needs a guard
ian appointed to look after him.

BLUEFIELD BOYS LAND
IN TAZEWELL JAIL

1t became known recently that Jesse
Dudley, aged Is years, and Charles
Blackwell, aged 10 years, both of Blue
field, were arrested at Gillespie, in
Tazewell county, and lodged in the
Tazewell pail on a charge of break
ing into the store of Steele, Hurt g.
Company, at Pounding Mill, and steal
ing clothing and shoes. 1t is said that
the boys confessed getting the goods
after they had been arrested.
Young Dudley and Blackwell are
we'll known in Bluefield and left the
city few nights after a number of
pretty thefts had been reported to the
police. Warrants are now in the
hands of the local authorities for both
Dudley and Blackwell, charging them
with the robbery of Sam Lees laun-
dry, on Bluefeld avenue, and also on
the charge of being implicated in
holding up and robbing Clarence Buch-
anan of $37.
With the arrest of these two boys
it is thought that the entire gang of
youngsters who have been committing
some daring robberies, has been brok-
en- up. The other members of the
gang have been arrested and are
awaiting trial.
After the TaZewell county authori-
ties have prosecuted Dudley and
Blackwell it is stated that they will be
brought back to this county for trial

The dwelling of Jas. C. Lawson
caught on fire last Friday morning,
and but for timely discovery the
house would have boen entirely de-
stroyed. The fire caught on the roof,
and was discovered by one of the
Misses Hampton, neighbor living

promptly, and the fire was extingu-
ished before much harm was done.
Just about week previous the barn
was burned.

A we'll known citizen of this town
has disappeared. Complaints reached
the officers from residents of the Fair
Grounds that frequent efforts had
been made to break into their houses.
One night this week Sergeant Thomp-
son and Jack Helmandoller made o
special effort to catch the party, and
lay in wait in dark spot near the
scence of alleged crime. Soon shad-
ow was seen moving about the house.
The two men made grand rush for
the shadow, the Sergeant used his
flash light, and locating u moving OBJ
ject, which he recognized by it's pc
culiar physiogomy, he opened fire on
| it. The object disappeared, and left
the impression that "he was going
away from here" He has not been
seen since, but if he shows upa war
rant is waiting for him.
Mr.. Phillip j. Reynolds, one of the

THE CATTLE SHIPPER MADE
MONEY.

The season of 1914, say the cattle
men, has been the best they ever had.
They have made more money than in
any one season heretofore. The buy
er of export cattle may not have done
SO well, owing to lack of shipping ia
cilities due to the European war.
There will be fewer cattle fed here
this winter than usual on account of
scarcity of feed. The effect of last
seasons drought will be felt next
year. Owing to scarcity of feed there
was rush of beef cattle to market,
and glut followed, and prices fell.
But this is about over. Hogs are
cheaper. The price has fallen a little
owing to theh Ugh price of corn, it is
said. However, the Tazewell market
is still high enough. No decrease in
prices noted here.

Business is Business, not psychol-

Lest some reader of that journal NAV

that Slempism means business and

MIR. Slemp control the great business
interests of this country? Has not
