A Good Sized Pig.

Capt. T. E. Howell, of Burkes Gar
den, sent pig to the packing house
last Saturday, which tipped the
scales at $40 notch. He was only 18
months old, pure bred Berkshire
Only ordinary treatment was given
the pig until about three months ago.
Mr.. Howell took home with him two
nice Berkshires from the farm of
Rev. c. r. Brown, toinfuse new blod
into his herd. If Mr.. Howell and
his neighbors had few acres of
alfalfa they could raise hogs sure
enough. One farmer reports the fat
ening of IL hogs on one acre of al
falfa up to within few weeks of
killing time when they were finished
off on corn. Hundreds of acres of
alfalfa will be sown in Virginia this
year by farmers who, many of them,
have not tried it heretofore. Tazewell
farmers seem slow to take hold. The
best alfalfa soil anywhere is to be
found right here in Tazewell.

MRS. SHAWYER
DIED SATURDAY
Mother of Large Family, Ill for
Several Months, Is Laid to
Rest Beside Her Husband.

Mrs. Nancy Shawvcr, widow of the
late Geo. w. Shawver, and daughter OF
the late Adam f. Britt, was born in
Craig county, Virginia, June 2l, lS4l
and moved with her parents from
Monroe county, now w. Va, to this
county in the year 1853. Was united
IN marriage to Geo. w. Shawver i'm
1857. To this union there were born
nine children, viz: Clifton G.. who
died in the West, some wears ago:
Albert Sidney, who died Mt Nlilligan
College, Tenn; Mollie E., the wife
of IL. w. Pobst, who died ut Tazewell
IN 1889; james Cawgiil, who resides
at Graham, Va; Chester Bullard, who
died ut Graham, Va; Myrtle. widow
oil the late lack Becher, who resides
at the old home place on Clear Fork !;
Elizabeth Holland, wife of Rev. j. c..
Reynolds, who lives on Sinking Creek.
Virginia.; Josephus Hopwood, who
did IN 1908, and George, who died in
infancy. She is survived by two
brothers, w. l.. and Joseph Britts and
five sisters-Nlrs. Charles Bourne and
Mrs. Nj. a. Reynolds, Mrs. Lizzie
BAILEY, Mrs. Alice Shawver and Mrs.
Fannie Lowder. She had nineteen
grandchildren and three great grand
children. Early in life she gave her
heart and life to Jesus and became a
charter member of the Christian
church at Shawvers Mills.
Ii will be seen from the above re-
cital of names and dates that she was
called upon to give up her husband
and six children, none of whom, ex-
ccpt the infant, died at home, and so
were without the attendance of wife
and mother to smooth the pillow of
death. Her cup of sorrow was Of
ten filled to overlooking, but her
Christian faith never faitered and
she seemed TO say with Gods servant
OF old, Though he slay me yet will ]
trust in Him." 1t seemed appropriate
that mt her funeral her pastor should
read the scripture, These are they
which came out OF great tribulation
and have washed heir robes and made
them white in the blood of the Lamb"
And to her remaining children, and
brothers and sisters, most of whom
were present, the concluding verses
were of great comfort. "Thcrefore,
they are before the throne of God and
serve him day and night in His tenn
pie; and he that si'teth on the throne
shall dwell among them. They shall
hunger no more, neither thirst any
more, neither shall the sun light on
them, nor any heat. For the Lamb
which is inlthc midst of the throne
shall feed them, and shall lead them
into living fountains of waters, and
God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes"
She fell asleep in Jesus Mt Shawver
Mills January 23rd, 1915. and on the
following day, stormy Sunday, many
of the neighbors came to mourn with
the family, and to assist in laying her
besides her husband in the family
cemetery to await the resurrection of
the just. J.C.R.

A Real Drought Now.
(Bluefield Telegraph.)

The edict of prohibition commits
sioner Blue that railroads and express
companies cannot bring liquor into
West Virginia, if upheld, makes West
Virginia a dry state in all that the
word dry implies. If a man wants
liquor he must go after it. There is
still another point to settle yet, and
that is the idea that Judge Herndon
expressed in Monroe county. Can
any agent or servant, perform any
service or do any act that the prin-
cipal can do himself? Damages are
awarded by courts for acts done by
agents or employees. However, we
want to compliment the effort that
West Virginia is making to enforce
the prohibition laws. Old Virginia,
where they have recently had state
wide election, and where some of the
leading men pleaded as an excuse for
opposing prohibition the fact that
North Carolina and some other south
enr states did not enforce, or rather
could not enforce the prohibition
law, should consider West Virginia
and take note of the fact that this is
a state in which prohibition does
prohibit" and whenever it is discover
cred that it does not do so effectively.
our officials set to work to see that
the laws are strengthened and made
sufficient to guarantee enforcement.

Courts Have Said that Booze"
Cannot Be Hauled into State

After Fred o. Blue, state prohi-
biiton commissioner, had notified the
Ohio Valley Electric Railway COM
pany Tuesday afternoon, that all
consignments of liquor for shipment
into West Virginia must be refused
or the company would be liable to
criminal prosecution officials notified
employees of the company to this eff
feet.
Commissioner Blues telegram, an
nouncement of the most drastic ruling
yet known in prohibition state, tnat
no liquor may be shipped into West
Virginia by common carrier, follows:
Omitted States Court OF Appeals
has held place of delivry of liquor
is placed on sale in West Virginia and
that carriers delivering same although
interstate shipment, is common
nuisance, subject injunction and
abatment as such. This is to notify
you that delivery of liquors by you in
the state must stop at once. Other
wise proceedings to enjoin and abate
will be instituted at once"
In carrying out the wish of the peo
pie expressed in the recent state
wide election in West Virginia, the
legislature now in session at Charles
ton, has under consideration other
laws effecting the liquor shipment in
to the state, which will make West
Virginia dry sure enough.

You're blamed if the water pipes
