Remembers English Visit to Tazcwell

Bethany, Mo-, Jan. 20, 10.
Editor Clinch Valley News:-I find
in the News of recent dates some
thing about Thomas Dunn English

tiers and things back there in those
days long gone by, and this is about
what / thought: | recollect seeing
him when he was in TaZewell. That
from dates of circumstances | have in
mind it was in the summer of 1858
that he was there. That he was then
living or sojourning in Logan coun-
ty, (now w. Val, and came up to
Tazewell. That he made speech,
1--WE call them lectures now, | think
in the old M. L. Church at the west of
town. cannot recall the subject.
Don't recollect how long he stayed or
where he stopped-was there perhaps
IL month. 1t was understood he went
back to Logan county, and after a
time returned to Philadelphia, where
he had come from.
Sometime after he was in Tazewell,
and article, or whatever you would
call it, was published in the paper
then printed in town, entitled, "The
Logan Grazier," by Thomas Dunn En-
glish. 1t occupied about column
of the paper. 1t was in poetry de
scribing the Logan cattle raiser his
simple rural life surrounding his
herds, etc. About the middle of the
piece" was the couplet,
"lle sees new comfort around his
home,
When buyers down from farewell

1t excited considerable attention
and comment ut the time. About ten
of twelve years ago it was published
in the Clinch Valley News. | think
1t was what he wrote while in TaZe-
well instead of "Ben Bolt" for it was
good long time after the "Ben Bolt"
appeared.

In Memory of Miss Emaline
Christian.

Harman, Va, Feb. 3.
Miss Emaline Christian, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. T. C. Christian, of Har-
man, Va, died suddenly Saturday,
January 30th, 1915.
Her death came as a shock to the
entire community, for
"None knew her but to love her,
None named her but to praise"
Twenty-Five years ago she confessed
publicly her faith in Christ, and her
daily life of self-sacrifice has borne
abundant witness to her love for the
Master. Her heart was continually
going out toward those who were in
need, or in sickness, or in sorrow.
For several years her life had been
wrapped up in the care of little or
phan boy which is being reared in the
home. TO the writer her friendship
has been as gold tried in the fire.
The funeral services were conduct
ed ut the home by Rev. j. w. Hub
bard and the Rev. Mr.. Davidson. In
terment was made in the family bur-
ial place Monday, February the first.
She leaves a father, mother, five sis
ters and two brothers.
A FRIEND.

THE LITERACY TEST.

The literacy test for the admission
of immigrants to this country is not
generally understood. 1t is not as
sweeping in its provisions as it is gen.
orally thought to be.
1t provides that no person, male or
female, over sixteen years of age, shall
be allowed to land in this country for
permanent residence who is unable to
read the English language, Hebrew or
Yiddish. Yiddish is, as we under.
stand it, middle German language.

acters. Also, as we understand, anv
one who has close relative who can
pass the test may be admitted. al
though he himself may not be able t.,
read. Children under sixteen years of
age are exempt and may be adj
mitted. ---------
-The-bill is generally popular. A
number of undesirable citizens" will
be kept out. Ability to read He
brew or German will be equal almost
to the ability to read English, in these
days Of translation of books, and the
Bible, laws, ETC., into all languages.
Children sixteen years and under will
be taught in the public schools of the
country. Ignorant Anarchists and re-
hgionists, many Of them, will be ex-
cluded.
In the end the prohibitions of this
bill will stimulate a study of the En-
glish language, no doubt, as well as
the cause of education generally.
