farmers, S4 quarts of the white and
1G of the yellow, were listed by me
and several quarts of the yellow were
sent to Burke's Garden to be distrib-
uted and those receiving it / did not
secure the names.
The understanding was that each
one receiving quart of the corn was
to bring his ten best ears to the Fair,
the corn TO become the property of
the Association for distribution next
Spring.
OF those who received the white
corn 81 came forward with the exhib-
its; the yellow, seven entered speci-
mems. This was not as good as l ex-
pected, but suppose it was fairly
good showing. The exhibits were all
fairly good, some of them excellent.
The yellow corn was perfectly ma
tured, as was much of the white.
Only few ears of the latter was not
matured, it being planted late. The
exhibit showed that the Boone County
white will mature we'll here if planted
as late as May 10. The growers ex-
pressed themselves as having a fine
yield, two men claiming to have raised
fifteen bushels from one quart, and
many claiming as much as ten bush
els. Almost all expressed themselves
as being highly pleased with the en-
pertinent and SO much so that they
would plant nothing else next year.
There was also shown in the exhibit
four specimens of Casey corn, one of
which secured second premium; also
one exhibit Of another pure Boone
County corn. This corn also did
well and gave satisfaction.
While compared with the speci-
mems of common corn shown it seems
to me that all will do well to plant
one of the three varieties next year,
and l suppose there will be enough
raised to supply the entire county in
seed corn the coming year. would
suggest that every one who has this
corn, first select enough cf the best
ears for his own planting and sup
ply his neighbor with any that he has
left that will do for seed.
I am no corn expert, but it acems
to me that with these varieties of
corn for seed ten per cent. more corn
per acre can be grown. Pref. Hudge-
son, the judge in the Agricultural de-
partment, expressed himself as high
ly pleased with the exhibit and pre-
diets better results next year.
I want to thank one and all Of the
exhibitors in the Agricultural depart
mcnt for their interest and hearty
cooperation with me in making it
the greatest success in this line we
have ever had. The exhibits were so
good that l can only wish all could
have secured premiums, though you,
I am sure, were all satisfied with the
verdict of the judges and feel that the
utmost fairness was shown in all de-
cisions. /. PIERCE.

FAIR BRINGS MANY OLD
OLD FRIENDS TOGETHER
Social Feature One of the Most
Enjoyable of the Meet-Some
Who Came to Tazewell Last
Week to See the Show.

The social feature OF the annual fair
meet is one of it's most pleasant and
highly priced. Old Friendships and
;cquaintancesaip arc renewed and
new ores formed. Perhaps Tie ma
jority of attendants arc there for no
other reason than 10 see and be seen.
And so it WAS last week. Everybody
was feeling fine," and locking good.
Perhaps The county was never in bet
ter, if so good, shape as at this
time. "Care free" is about the word.
The Fair people looked tic part if
they didn't feel it.
The representative of this paper en-
joyed greatly the greetings of u
number of old friends, and the ac-
quaintance of new ones. A little "gos-
sip" about some of them is here noted
down.
Mrs. II. c. Galloway.
Mention is made first of Mrs. II.
C. Galloway, wife of the we'll known
Graham Ex-Postmaster, and editor of
the Graham Daily News section of
the Bluefeld Telegraph. She was an
interested visitor to tie Tazewell
Fair. 1t will be recalled that Mr..
Galloway is just now home from the
sanitorium. Congratulations We're
sent him through his wife, upon his
recovery, but the warning added, that
if he persisted in writing the mean
things about the Democrats, prayers
for his recovery might perhaps be
withheld the next time appendicitis
hands him solar plexus.
Mrs. Galloway is Botetourt wo-
man, and looks the part to perfection.
She was Miss Murray, of the Hol-
Inns community. know her people
and they are all right, and now you
see why this fair visitor holds first
place, preferred position" in this
gossip" column.
John George.
Smythe county can lay claim to few
more genial or clever citizens than the
George boys, John and Tom. They
own fine farms near Broadford, and
keep "open house" the year around.
John spent one day at the fair en-
route TO Cedar Bluff to weigh up n
load or two of cattle. We have troub-
lie in knowing which is which or tother
from which, sometimes, and call Tom

apologize to both of them. The same
trouble occurs when l mistake Jim
Dudley for Charley Hale.
John George extends wide open
invitation to all Tazewell people in
passing his way, to call by and make
themselves at home, and no doubt
Tazewell travellers would all feel free
TO do so anyway.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meade and NJ. C.
Clark, of Russell comfy, were well
come and interested visitors, from the
county Of big cattle, big bluegrass,
big corn and big men, and uncertain
politics.

Of his vest, and his chest swelled away

old shoe, and thinks as much of we
common fellows as he ever did" is
about the way the conversation erd-
ed.
R. w. Scott, a genial, we'll appear

Gus farmer of that rich section, was
a visitor to the Fair, gentleman
whom it is pleasure to meet While
here he was the guest of his niece,
Mrs. E. l.. Greever, wife of the well
known lawyer of this town. He said
the Agricultural exhibits ut the Fair
were great. He was particularly
struck with the fine cattle and sheep,
"almost as gopdn as those seen in

The first time Mr.. Smith visited
Tazewell, he came here in a stage

our corn show was great. He had seen
no finer corn anywhere, he said, ex-
cept, perhaps in the Botetourt county
Fair last year, which corn he thought
was equally as good as the exhibits
here.
J. w. Elliott, Missouri.
Perhaps the oldest man at the Fair
was Mr.. J. w. Elliott, of Missouri,
He is still hale and hearty, beyond
the 80-year line. He came to Taze-
well chiefly to look up his old friend,
and comrade, N. w. Kiser, at North
Tazewell, with whom he spent some
time. Mr.. Elliott is on n visit to
relatives in Russell County. Want of
space forbids further gossip" along

CORN SHOW AT THE FAIR
And the Result of the Distribution of
Seed Corn Last Spring.

And the Result of the Distribution of
Seed Corn Last Spring.
After considerable correspondence
with expert corn men in the State,
and seedsmen, both in this State and
neighboring States, two varieties of
corn were selected for distribution
by the Tazewell Fair Association. A
white variety, a specially grown and
pedigreed Boone County white and an
Improved Leaning, yellow variety,
were chosen.
There was some doubt expressed
as to whether the large white variety
would mature well here the first year,
sas it was long season corn, 120
days; the yellow variety requiring
only 80 days, it was. thought, might
do better.

Mr.. G. w. Doak, of this city, met
with very painful accident on the
mountain near Tip Top Springs on
last Tuesday. The steering wheel of
his Ford car, in which he and Mr..
o. f. Hopkins were riding, got out of

feet high and caught Mr.. Doak under
it, breaking two ribs and causing him
other severe pains. Mr.. Hopkins es.
capped with only slight injuries, as his
position in tho car enabled him to

HERE'S NESS, The BOY
WHO BROKE 4 RECORD

Jack Ness, first baseman of the
Oakland team in the Pacific Coast
league, who broke Ty Cobb's rec
ord by making safe hits In Al
consecutive games, is a product
of the Chicago prairies. He has
been in professional baseball six
years, in which time he had three
trials in the big brush, the Detroit
Tigers having had him on its ros-
ter that number of times. Ness,
however. just fell short of big
league class and after the third
trial was sold to Oakland in 1913.
Ness has hit 900 or better ever
since he became a Coast league
player and IL he continues at his
present gait he will finish the sea-
son with 400 or better. The last
official averages gave him a per-
centage OF .3S9.
Ness, who Is over feet tall
and built in proportion, is the
best fielding first baseman in the
Coast league, his one fault being
that he is not strong throwar.
Cobb made his record run OF
hitting safely in 40 consecutive
games In 1911, annexing rs safe
ties in the course of the run. r.
was with his 10th hit that Ness
established the new record of hit
ting safely In Al consecutive
games.
The new record holder Is the
field captain of the Oakland team
and once refused a proffer to
become its manager because Ty-
Ter Christian, the man whoss
place he was asked to fill, was
one OF his best friends.
Ness probably is the most pop
ular player in the Coast league,
both with players and fans alike.
He is married, and has one child.
Ness broke into the profession
al ranks with Madison, Wis, In
1893. He was drafted the sans
year by Detroit and played with
the Tigers a few months. being
sent to Williamsport, Pa, for sea-
soning. He was recalled in the
fall. but In the spring Of 1911 he,
was sent 10 New Bedford, Mass,
from which he was drafted by|
Oakland In 1919.
