Call Meeting.

A called meeting OF the stoc
holders of the Tazcwell Fair As
sociation was held last Saturday in
the office of the secretary, at which
several matters Of Importance L,
the fair were discussed, one of whic,
was the suggestion taht Il now cir
cult to be formed to embrace the
fairs of Southwest Virginia, taking
in the fairs held in Russell. Wash
ington and GalaX. 1t was decide
to issue no return tickets at th
gate. This privilege has been badl-
abused in the past by parties get
ting Il return ticket and giving
to some one outside who had not
bought ticket, admitting them to
the grounds the same as if they
had purchased ticket. The opini,
was expressed that there should be
no effort this year to have Il poultr
exhibit. as there seems to be no
mand for such an exhibit.

How They "Think."


When an exasperated teacher asked
particularly dense pupil what use
ne had for "mind", the pupils an
swer that he would "feel" with il.
was about what the teacher expected.
This incident is recalled by The pc
rusal of an inspired editorial in the
Graham Banner of last week, ac-
companied by number of bird shot
paragraphs, aimed ut the distin-
guished Senators from Virginia, but
Incidentally intended to splatter
some more or less innocent bystand-
ers, one of whom am, which (Hinc
lilac lachrymae). Now these same
distinguished Senators have been de-
cidedly unpopular" in Tazewell since
a certain primary of two years ago,
in which they got ten votes to every
one polled for their opponents, Jones
and Glass. To be quite fair, how
ever, l will admit that these Qatter)
gentlemen might get a bigger vote
now, for l know of probably ten of
flee seekers, who using their "minds
to feel with, conclude that these
defeated aspirants for the Senate are
to be the dispensers of patronage at
Washington.
l could tell them another story,
but they wouldn't believe it, and
having had my English" brought in
question in this inspired editorial,
will not give Frank an opportunity
to call me another.
Its the old Bible story. "People
imagine vain things. and flee to the
mountains of Hepsidam," etc.
But when we consider, that with
out the approval Of these Senators
no appointment can be confirmed, how
unfair, and how unjust this whole
TRADE is to Beau Buchanan. That his
mouthpiece and champion, wh 10
"feels" deeply, and evidently thinks
not at all, should so exceed the limits
prescribed by good taste, and all the
amenities of debate, in his character
sketch of our Senators, whose cordial
assent is absolutely necessary to q
confirmation, passes belief. From
our "friends," good Lord, deliver US

Prosperity"
/Ou.

Are we on the verge of a panic
or on the verge of great prosperity?
If we listen to some and believe
them the panic is now on, if to 9TH
ers. we are entering on a period of
great prosperity. What is prosper
ity? The answer depends on who
defines it. If we allow certain
class of political pie eaters and pie
hunters to define prosperity, times
are prosperous while they are at the
counter. If we let the railroad own
ers define it, the country is prosper
GUS when they are allowed to charge
exorbitant rates and make special
rates to accommodate the large ship
pers. If we let the manufacturer
tell us when the country is prosper
Gus, it's when tariff walls are built
around them, so they can control
prices at home, not only of tha t
which they make, but of the laborer
who tolls in the field and shop. If
we let the liquor makers and sellers
say what prosperity is, they say
when we are allowed to do an unre-
strained business in our line.
We are not on the verge of a panic,
unless some Of the wisest business

The Pistols Place.

"The only place for the pistol is
in the home. ."-Richmond Evening
Journal.
Why Gin the home?" Thousands
of homes in this country will say
that a pistol in the home has dark
ened their whole life. The home is
the very place the pistol should not
be found, as a general proposition.
Exceptional cases and conditions
may, now and then, justify gun in
the home, but rare, very rare, indeed
do these conditions exist. Thousands
and thousands of homes there are
in which there is not now nor ever
has been, pistol or any other kind
of gun. A law prohibiting the sale
entirely of pistols, except, perhaps,
in time of war, or to officers of the
law, would be beneicent measure.
If pistol must be kept, keep it at
the barn, or somewhere other than
the home.

MAJORITY TYRANNY.
tie Despotic Sway, For instance, In the
Matter Of Dress.


The tyranny of ma jorities Is not con-
fined to politics. 1t invades all fields,
demands obedience from all classes
and brooks defiance of none.
Women tolerate certain style Of
garment because they imagine a ma
jOrity of womankind at the moment is
demanding It, They obediently follow
suit for fear of exciting attention or
unfavorable comment.
Men and women are bound too much
by others opinions. Society, Of course.
is built ON conventions. But cOnven-
lions sometimes become tyrannical.
One should know when to follow their
dictates and when to ignore them. In
the matter of Dress for instance, why
should any one endure style he de-
tests merely because the majority at
the moment is wearing It? Why should
not q long necked man wear tai
collar. II he prefers. 1t, even though II
does cause pain to the chins OF al
