FOR CIVIC BETTERMENT.

A Call For Meeting of Women Who
Have Interest in Welfare of Town.
To the women of Tazcwell:
A call is hereby extended TO all wo-
wen of Tazewcll who take an interest
in the welfare of their beautiful town,
to meet next Tuesday afternoon, Octo-
ber 18th, at four o'clock in the Wo-
mans Club Rooms, over Wittcn's store,
for the purpose of forming n Civic
Betterment League. All members of
womans organizations such as the
Womans Club, u. d. c., w. C. r. u,
Eastern Star and all church societies,
are particularly urged to be present.
Now, that the men have done so
much in improving the streets. seems
a fitting time for the women to band
together to beautify the town and
attend to many details of civic bet
terment for which men have no time.
Nothing can be accomplished without
general cooperation. Therefore, it is
hoped that all the women who pos
sibly can do so, will show their inter
est In this movement, and give il
their countenance by being present
next Tuesday afternoon.

CONVENTION EXTRAORDINARY

Nothing could better accentuate the
salutary change in Democratic meth
DDS of procedure that the fact that
Federal officials took no part in the
Honaker convention last week. 1t
has recently been demonstrated that
Cleveland's executive order against
"pernicous activity" is still unrepeal-
ed, and is in full force and effect.
Neither Roosevelt nor Taft saw fit to
accept the odium of its repeal, and
that it meets with full endorsement
by Mr.. Wilson has been shown in the
cases of two postmasters who asked
leave to participate in local conven-
tions and were turned down.
The fact, too, that the Honaker con-
vention, "voted out" one of the old
time committees, the committee on
credentials, is another move in the
right direction, for this was one of the
methods the old time bosses used to
Exclude their enemies" and should
never be revived. Since the primary
election plan has been adopted, and
hereafter conventions will only be
held under extraordinary conditions,
like these calling the meeting in ques-
ton. Yours, S.

ATHLETIC SCHOOL LEAGUE
Prof. GOllehon Attends Meeting
in Bluefield and Arranges the
Schedule for Coming Games

A meeting of the committee of the
Athletic School League took place in
the office of the Blueiield High School
building on last Saturday at 2 p. m.
S. f. Gollehon, member of the
committee from Tazewell, was present
and was much gratified at the pros
poets of good year in athletics. All
the members of the committee seem
to be in favor of getting our sched-
uie arranged as soon as possible. so
as to be able to start the contests
sooner than last year. Our first game
is with Graham at Graham and the
second with Athens at TaZewell. In
fact the most of our games will be
played on our home grounds. We
should like to see all the town and
school take interest in the boys and
girls athletics, for it encourages them
and makes them play better There
is nothing like supporting your home
team, both with your good wishes
and money, if necessary, as well as
your presence on the side line.
They will give you some good ball
this year, and when they start the
thing to rolling lend us your aid in
pushing it along.
We have about the same teams to
contend with this year as last. We
came out second all around. Help us
to come out first this year.
To aid the boys and girls of the
school aids the community and town,
and to aid the community and town is
the business of every factor in it.
Give them your support because it
develops them physically and encour-
ages them to think and act indepen-
IDENTIFY. We believe you will do so,
because you have not failed us in the
past and for that support we promise
to give you some good, clean, honest
athletic contests.
