Paint and Weeds.

The EDITORS residence has had a
coat of new paint recently, palings
and all, which has helped the looks.
DR.. ID. r. Johnson has done the same
for his premises lower down the
street. Edwards welded the brush at
DR.. Johnson's and Frank Alexander
on the editors job. And while we are
at it, why can't the weeds be cut
from number of vacant lots and
along the streets of this town. Some
time ago attention was called to these
weed lots and here it is again. 1t
isn't right, to say nothing of the looks,
to allow these weeds to seed and pol
lutte the gardens of this town next
year. Have some consideration for
the looks of things and your neigh
bors' gardens.

clover started. Strange, but true, all
the same.

Steelsburg, like Cedar Bluff, has
taken on a mcst commendabe activity
IN social affairs, much to the delight

encouraged to repeat these happy lit

Let us hope that the fathers and

will revive these delightful old forms
of entertainment and we promise them
our hearty cooperation by publishing
every one of them.

hARMAN NEWBERRY
DIED THIS WEEK
Was Widely Known and Wealthy
Bland County Farmer-Con-
nected With Many Families
in Tazewell County.

phone message received here or
Tuesday announced the death OF Har-
man Newberry at his home in Bland
county. The news was no surprise, rs
his death had been expected almost
hourly for several weeks. Owing to
his extreme age, being in his S9th
year, little hope of his recovery was
mad from the nrst.
Mr.. Newberry was one Of the most
widely known and weallhlest men in
Southwest Virginia. For more than
q half century his business kept HIM
constantly gong from one coun.y 70
another, from place to place, ana he
had wide acquaintance everywhere
he went, and among all his acquaint-
ances and friends of all classes, he
was popular. His reputation for hon
esty, fair and square dealing, was en-
viable, and his integrity never ques-
TONED. This is no eXaggeraJiOn. rev
large fortunes are accumulated with
out leaving some suspicion of sharp
dealing and disregard of the rights of
others. Harman Newberry goes to his
grave with no smirch upon hs char
acter for honesty and integrity. He
was one of the wealthiest men in
Southwest Virginia, if not in the
State. He owned valuable estates III
Bland, Wythe, Pulaski, Buchanan and
Tazewell counties, and thousands of
acres of bluegrass and coal lands in
Logan and Wyoming counties, West
Virginia. Just how much his estate
is worth is not konwn. He himself
did not know.
lie was also man of fine intelli-
gence and information. He possessed
a retentive memory, and what he
heard and read he digestcd and re-
membered. He was an active busi-
ness man for nearly rs years. Think
of all the changes, experiences, trou-
bis and joys these seventy odd years
must have brought to him. To come
through them all with an unsullied
name, and feel resigned and willing

left behind.
In the year 1854 he was married
at the age of about 30 years, to Miss
Mary Mcdonald, daughter of the late
William Mcdonald, a prominent citi-
zen of Wyoming county, now West
Virginia. Four children, two sons.
William and La Fayette, survive, and
two daughters, Mrs. w. o. Barns,
and Mrs. William E. Peery, of this
county. To each of these daughters
he gave valuable property in this
county.

his fathers family, if any, is not

Progressive Farming on Mud Fork.

Your correspondent made a visit to
Mud Fork this week and was shown
Soudan grass on the farm of Mr..
Sam Hayes, growing feet tall. This
is probably the first of this plant to
be grown in Tazewell. 1t looks as if
1T might make valuable forage crop
IN that section. Mrs. Hayes assured me
that the present crop was cut with
the reap hook brought across the
ocean by her grandfather. Mrs. E. II.
Hayes says that her husband is much
pleased with the Wynodee Boone
County corn and is going to make
somebody hustle for the premium at
the fair.

nice patch of soy-beans, which he
expects to cut for hay. He also showed
me a splendid young orchard which
looks well, though not in heavy bear
ing this year because of the heavy
crop last year.
Everything looks well and prosper

to see great improvement here. as
