HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
LOSES TWO GAMES
Bluefield And Bramwell Take
One Each, But Pocahontas
LOses-BOys Showing
Up Well.

The Tazewell High School BOYS
went to Bluefeld last Friday and
played game with Beaver High
School boys. Although the boys lost
the game. the score standing four to
five in favor of Beavers. yot the home
boys out-played them in every stage
of the game. Two bad throws on the
part of the home boys lost lie game.
Those two throws could hardly have
been avoided, as the ground was in
such bad condition. and the ball was
so wet and slic.;, that no one could see
Just how the boys threw tho ball as
accurately as they did under such
conditions.
The game was clean in every re-
spect. and our boys seemed pleased,
though they were defeatcd in one of
the best and hardest fought games of
the season. Remember the home bows
played two games with the Bluefield
aggregation. winning one and losing
the other. Not so bad after all, when
you think about the number of bows
in each school from which to select
the team. The Tazewell boys arc
playing some ball and when they met
the Beavers again they have express
ed determination to go after them
with heavy hand.
The Tazewell boys went to Poca-
hontas Saturday and crossed bats
with the High School team, defeating
them in n ten inning game, the score
standing three to four in favor of
Tazewell. 1t was sensational from
the start to finish and many fans
think il was the best amateur ball
ever witnessed in that town. The
game closed without II dispute and
our boys give the Pocahontas boys
credit for playing them good, clean
game. One thing was noticeable in
this game, and that was, the Tazc-
well boys did not play with the usual
VIM and enthusiasm, on account of
being tagged somewhat by the pre-
ceding game.
In the evening the boys played the
Bramwell team on their ground. being
defeated by score of 8 to G. In
the sixth inning the boys had the
score to /, but one of the Bran
well men knocked long ny-bnll
to the left field, and our player, j. N.
Johnson, being interrupted by an au-
tomobile coming across the field, al
lowed three men to score, thus Civ
ing the Bramwell boys good start.
1t also seemed at about this stage of
the game that our pitcher, who had
been worked too hard by the previous
games, had grown somewhat weak.
For that reason they allowed the
Bramwell boys several hits.
1t was a good game, but not such n
one as the previous ones and if our
oys could or had gone on the din
mond fresh, | am satisfied it would
have been an easy victory. G..

an hour trying each to persuade the
other to vote for him, and through II
lightning flash revealed their idcn-

Speaking of lights, the "anti-co.

B. B. BUCHANAN
HIGHLY HONORED
Smythe County Senator Named
To Responsible Position Under
Federal Recommendations
To Southwest.
(Richmond Virginian.)

In few men in the public life Of Vir-
ginla today have the people imposed
their confidence and respect to lust
the degree that it has been given to
Senator B. f. Buchanan, of Smyth
county. For this reason his appoint
ment as general counsel for national
banks in the hands of receivers will
cause hearty and genuine congratula-
tions to be showered on him from his
friends and admirers throughout Vir-
ginia.
The most recent achievement of
Senator Buchanan was his service to
Virginia in the development of new
system of tax Legislation. Through
long, arduous months as n member of
the State tax commission, and through
even more trying weeks in the Legis-
lature of Virginia, Senator Buchanan
plloted the system he advocated to a
highly successful conclusion. This
was but an evidence of the sort of
service he has rendered the State
for many years. Because Of the char
acter of previous service he had gain
ed the confidence of his fellow legis-
lators in degree that assured him
their respect in whatever degree they
might feel impelled to take issue with
him. Because he had the information
that gave him the ability to speak with
authority Senator Buchanan in this.
as in other matters, was successful.
Because he has shown in his work for
Virginia a thoroughly trained and
well balanced intelligence, combined
with sterling character, officials of
the national government realize that
he is the man to be chosen for high
ly honorable position and important
work for the nation.

WE CELEBRATE

This issue of the Clinch Valley
News marks the 18th anniversary of
the present ownership and manage
ment of the paper. This is the long
est period, we believe, that the paper
has run under any one ownership un-
changed. The paper has the largest
paid up list it ever had, and is still
growing. A large number of our
present subscribers have been with us
from the beginning, and many of
them for years before. On this beau
tiful May morning, in this beautiful,
rich country, surrounded as we are,
our unbounded appreciation is ex-
pressed first, to a Beneficent Provi-
dence, and also to our host of kind,
charitable and sympathetic friends.
There is something materially and
decidedly wrong when citizen of
this beautiful country, living among
the good people of this good county,
is not happy and contented, and the
wrong is not found in the people or
the country, but in the man. himself.
The editor of this paper finds no
fault with anything or anybody ex-
cept himself, and he is hopeful and
determined to take fresh grip on
life, keep young and serve his fellow
man more and better than ever before
