BANKERS HELP THE CORN CLUB
BOYS.

The Virginia Bankers Association
has made an offer of $500 each to
twenty boys, who are members of the
corn club, to help defray their cx-
penses while attending the Winter
Short Course at Blaclisburg in Feb.
ruary.
1t is desired that two boys be got
ten from each congressional district if
possible. In case two cannot be taken
from each of the districts, they will
be taken from any of the counties in
which they can be found.
Any boy in Tazewell county. who
is or wishes to become a member of
the Boys Corn Club, may take advan-
tage of this offer by sending his
name TO the county agent. Mr. It. o.
Sandy, the State agent, is very de-
sirous of having 20 boys attend the
winter course, and there should be
several boys in this county who are
anxious to increase their knowledge
OF agriculture, and who would appre-
clate this generous offer. The total
expenses of the winter short course
are only about $4,000 for the months
board plus railroad fare.
1t is certainly very commendable
IN the Bankers Association to help
the boys in this way.

A VOLUNTARY MESSENGER.

A famous evangelist was once
preaching, and good many of his
utterances were shocking to his con-
gregation. He told them that his
grandmother had been a good and
moral woman, but she had never pro-
fessed religion and he was confident
that at that moment the good lady was
roasting in torment.
A young man rose at this, and with
a look of disgust, started for the door.
The evangelist pointed an accusing
finger at him and thundered:
There is Il young man who is also
on the downward path"
The young man turned. His face
was very red. But he smiled very
pleasantly and said:

DEATH OF MRS. s. M. GRAHAM.

The Graham Daily News of last
Saturday contained the following ac-
count of the death of Mrs. Sam Ora
ham, which occurred at her home in
Graham last Friday morning:
Death came Unexpectedly yesterday
morning, few minutes before nine
o'clock to Mrs. Margaret Graham,
wife of Samuel NJ. Graham. The sum-
mons came while Mrs. Graham was
eating her breakfast, and the news of
her passing caused genuine regret
over the town. Mres. Graham had not
been in good health for several
months, but no one thought the end
so near, and the news of her death
was no less shock to her closest
relatives and neighbors than to the
public generally.
Mrs. Graham was fifty eight years
of age. Before her marriage to Mr..
Graham, which was in the year 1875,
daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs
John l. Crockett. She was born and
reared in Tazewell county and was
member of one of the best known
and most prominent families of the
section. She was a sister of the late
DR.. Graf Crockett, the late r. G.
Crockett and the late John w. Crock
EFT, former sheriff of Tazewell coun-
ty. She has two sisters living, Mrs.
James P. Whitman, of Horsepen Cove,
and Mrs. j. II. Gillespie at Tip Top.
The immediate family was some
what scattered when death entered
their home and took away the faith
full wife and mother. The husband
was somewhere in Buchanan county,
engaged in survey work, as was also
his son, S. w. Graham. Another son,
Hal, was at Ciyt Point, and her old
est daughter, Mrs. Vicie Briggs, wife
of George Briggs, was at her home
in Williamson. Still another son, B.
T. Graham, was in Pocahontas, his
home. All were Immediately notified
of Mrs. Graham's death by telegraph.
Latei the summer, Mrs. Graham
underwent a surgical operation and
the physicians found it necessary to
remove one Of her kidneys. She, how
ever, rallied from this illness, but of
course had never fully regained her
health. Lately she had not been well,
but her condition had not been such
paying a visit to the hospital in Blue
field every other day, and yesterday
morning she expressed desire to sit
up.
Besides her husband, the deceased
is survived by eight children, five
sons and three daughters. Her sons
are c. A, B IT., S. W., Hal and NAL
colin Graham and the daughters, Mrs.
George Briggs, of Williamson and
Misses Jessie and Sallie Graham, of
this place. Many relatives in Taze-
well and elsewhere other than those
mentioned, survive her, for the fami-
lies of both her and her husband are
largely connected ones. The deceased
had resided in Graham for many
years and was known to practically
everybody in town. Her cheerful dis
position was known to every one.
Many persons visited the sad home
yesterday and all were willing and
ready to lend comfort to those who
grieved in whatever way possible.
The funeral services will occur on
Sunday and interment will be in the
Maple Hill cemetery.

Too Far Away From Home.
Clifton Forge Review.)

We note that San Farancisco is
making bid for the Democratic and
Republican national conventions next
year. In our judgment, it would be
a great mistake for these conventions
to meet at such an extreme point. For
the convenience of the delegates some
ecnetral point like Chicago, st. Louis
or Kansas City should be chosen. San
Francisco ought TO be satisfied with
the Panama exposition and not at
tempt to force the delegates to sac
rifice so much time and money in at
tending the aforesaid conventions.

There are many problems facing

while sitting around the fire during
the long winter evenings. Such time
can be profitably employed in study
ing such questions as the use of lime,
renovating pastures, improvement of
meadows, preparation of corn land,
soil improvements, and the most eco
nomical use of commercial and home
made fertilizers. Talk these things
over with the family, and your neigh
bors, and figure them out on paper for
yourself. What crops are making a
profit, and which ones are dead ex-
pense. These and many other vital
questions are confronting the farm
