BROTHER sHEFFEY's PRAYERS.
Venerable Old Minister Asked That
No Saloons Ever Be Allowed in
Town of Graham

Graham, Va, April 22.-Abe Ho-
gan, of Pocahontas, was in Graham
today, looking for a suitable building
in which to start moving picture
show.
Geo. Mahood has the contract for
building a large house for Thomas
Neel, of Bluestone.
On Robert Sheffey's last visit to
Graham he prayed that no "stillhouse
or saloon should ever find a foothold
in this town." and it is we'll known
fact that Brother Sheffey's prayers
were nearly always answered.
Here is how it works on some of
our industrious people of Clear Fork
who, in addition to finishing their own
road, have to yet come 81 miles
around and spend two days, to deliv-
er wagon load of produce, when il
could have been done in one over the
mountain road at less than half the
distance: Wade Leffel carried four
hams on horseback over to Graham,
for which he received $1,000 cash, but
it was hard job and he earned his
money. VIM. Robinett, an old soldier
makes from one to three trips week
on horse back when the weather is
good; on foot when it is frozen, with
butter and eggs. He has been doing
this for 25 years. He lost seventeen
eggs at one fall on the steep, icy
mountain, and can relate many inter-
esting stories andnarow escapes from
rttlers. and copperheads. Isaac
Stevenson and score of others cross
that steep, dangerous mountain pass
almost every day. That they have
been greatly wronged by that work
being stoppd and that link being not
completed, no thinking person can de-
ny. That they are going to accept a
mere apology of words and drop the
matter is unreasonable. Forbear-
ance will cease to be virtue if these
wrongs are not made right, and they
are tired being out off with unne-
cessary delays.
Mr. GA Metcalfe, proprietor of the
Graham Mattress Co., and Nelson
Barker, of the First National Bank
OF Graham, and j. N. johnson, of the
Clinch Valley Bank, at Tazewell, are
all farmers sons, and came from
Washington county.

THE NAVY SEXES
MEXICAN TOWN N
United States Takes Port of
Vera Cruz, After Short Bat
tie, in Which American Blue
Jackets Are Killed.

Washinton, April 21.-The Amer
lean flag tonight flies over Vera Cruz
Four Americans were killed and
twenty wounded when a detachment
of blue jackts and marines from the
American fleet seized the customs
house, raised the American flag and
clashed with the Mexican garrison.
Desultory firing was in progress late
today, according to dispatch from
Rear Admiral Fletcher received at 6
p. m. At first the garrison had ap-
peared to be withdrawing. Americans
Consul Kennedy reported this to the
state department at 5 o'clock, but
when the American forces reached
the customs house the Mexicans open
ed fire with rifle and artillery.
The transport Prairie Immediately
began shelling the Mexican positions,
slowly driving them out. The Mexi-
cans fought from the house tops and
along the streets. The Americans
forces have taken possession of the
cable offices and hold the American
consulate and the section of the city
in the vicinity of the wharves.
Admiral Fletcher's dispatch came
by cable and reached here at 6 D.. m.
1t was as follows:
Tuesday, in the face of approach
ing northers, landed marines and
sailors from the battleships Utah and
Florida and the transport Prairie and
seized the customs house. Mexican
forces did not oppose landing but
opened fire with rifles and artillery
after our seizure of the customs
house. Prairie shelling Mexicans out
of their position.
"Desultory firing from housetops
and streets. Hold customs house and
section of city in vicinity of wharves
and consulate. Four deda and twenty
wounded.
A later dispatch from Admiral
Fletcher received at the navy depat-
ment at 1929 tonight and dated
4 o'clock this afternoon said that
fighting was still in progress. He said
that rolling stock of the railroad was
safe.
A hurried conference was called at
the White House, President Wilson
having summoned Secretaries Bryan.
Garrison and Daniels. They were in
conference for an hour, emerging Sc
rious-faced.
First blood has been spilled" said
one of the officials at the White
House.
No report has been received up to
an early hour tonight of the Mexican
casualties.
The capture of the customs house
at Vera Cruz was ordered by the
American government to prevent the
big shipments of ammunition and
machine guns from getting into
Huerta's hands.
Many officials declare they believe
Huerta had been playing for time
merely to get in this shipment of
munitions. AS there was no blockade
the American forces could not seize
munitions until after they have been
landed.
Secretary Bryan said there was
general exodus of Americans from
Mexico City to Vera Cruz, and that
many Americans at the latter place
were going aboard the Ward liner
Esperanza.
