POCAHONTAS
''WET" 80 YEARS
Council Now Has Big job of
Providing Funds to Make up
Loss of Taxes From The
Saloons.

Pocahontas, Va, Mar. 8.-Pocahon-
tas dry after May ist--thnt sounds
strange, but the passage by the State
Senate yesterday of the Witten-Shu-
mate amendment will make il n reali-
ty, if signed by Gcovrnor Stuart,
which he will undoubtedly do. The
town has been under license for nearly
thirty years, and it will take some
time for the readjustment to take
place after Mnv /. There arc some
problems in financing for the town
TO solve, as they will not be able to
iigure on receipts from liquor license
any more. The same problem con-
fronts them now that many q town
in the United States has had TO grap-
pie with in the last few years, as the
progress of temperance under the di-
rcction Of the anti-saloon league has
been marvellous. The present instance
of course had nothing to do with the
anti-salOon league, in fact the anti
saloon league had nothing to do with
1t. AS to the causes that brought it
about the writer is not familiar, tho
we all know that the Wittcn- -Shumatc
bill did the work.
Russian Killed.
Angelo Onicks, Russian, was kill
cd at the tunnel between here and
Blusetone on Saturday night, anc

whit the crime. They had started to
Bluestone to catch No. II. About

BOOST TER
NEE TING
Board of Trade of Tazewell and
North Tazewell Rejuvenated
AMI Given New Life in Meet
ing on Tuesday Night.

The Tazewell-North Tazewell Board
OF Trade, instead of disbanding, is now
stronger than ever before, and from
the interested manifested at the
meeting held last Tuesday night, will
be more useful than ever before.
The meeting was held in the Court
House and was presided over by the
President, r. G. Chapman, with w. G..
O'Brien as secretary.
A vote showed that it was the unan-
imous consent of the members present
that the organization continue. Mr..
w. A. Scott, of the Tazewcll Manufac-
turing Company, outlined briefly the
necessity for for an organization of
this character in everv town, espec-
tally in Tazewell, which is far above
the average town in many respects.
MIR. b. w. Stras, jr., Of Stras, Har-
man d. Company, who recently became
member of the Board of Trade, out
lined some of the difficulties encoun-
tered by organizations of this charac-
ter in keeping up the interest and the
attendance upon the regular meetings.
The suggestions he made will likely
be taken u by the body in the near
future.
Secretar'' O'Brien stated that by
the provisions there was not mem
bcr present Uualifi ID to vote or take
part in the discussions. There was an
immediate rush to pay up, and Treas
urer Preston was kept busy for few
minutes taking monev.
After the members present had
qualified themselves to vote, Mr.. Chap
man, who has been president of the
organization for the past year, offer
ed his resignation, as did also Score
tary O'Brien. The acceptance of these
resolutions proved TO be very much
against the wishes of the members,
a vote showing not a single one in fa-
vor of their designations. There was
nothing else for them to do but "servc
their time," which expires on the
third Tuesday in June, at which time
new officers of the organization will
be elected.
A motion was made to appoint Il
committee to notify the absent mem
hers and those in arrears for dues
that one years dues, ($2.00) would be
accepted in full of account to June,
this year, and solicit their continued
membership, and urge upon them to
come to the meetings.
The question of the new depot at
North TaZewell was discussed and
B. w. Stras, w. G. O'Brien and w. T.
Gillespie weer appointed a committee
to take the matter up with the rail
road officials and see what could be
done.
Other matters of local interest were
discussed, among them being water
ing trough for horses, which the civic
association have under discussion. 1t
was pointed out that horses coming
from the country have nowhere to be
watered, and that much suffering on
hot days results from the lack of a
suitable place for watering the stock.
A committee, composed of jeff Ward,
l.. A. Tynes and w. B. Leslie was ap-
pointed to cooperate with the ladies'
of the civic association and do what
was necessary to provide the trough.
The next meeting of the Board of
Trade will be held the third Tuesday
in April, at which time full at
tendace of all members is urged.

TAzEWELL BOYS
ARE MAKIG GOOD
Have FOrsaken Old Home For
Distant Parts, But Are Meas
uring up With The Best of
Them.

This office has had correspondence
this week with Tazcwell boys who
have left the old home county-two of
them the State, who merit special
mention and commendation. One of
them is b. Y. Pecry, now Il successful
merchant ut Cocburn. He is II son of
Preston Peery, of this county. Ed.
Rosenbaum says of him: he is Il fine
fellow and straight as shingle."
L. A. Rcpass, the insurance man, says
he is as prompt as Il clock, and doing
Il fine business.
The editor has the best reasons
in the world to believe it all. When
you hit a fellow with good sized
subscription bill and he doesn't even
grunt, but says, "herc it is, best wish
es," you have Il pretty safe fellow in
hand.
The other two bays are Cccils. They
moved to Texas from Tazewcl some
years ago. Their letter head reads:
Cecil d. Company" One of them is
w. M. and the other C. w. Cecil.
One of these, the writer does not know
which one, is son of the late Chester
Cecil, of this county. The other is an
uncle, we believe. They have chain
OF stores, one in each of towns of
Crowell, Cleburn, and Hamlin, Tex
as and Cecil-Blair CO., Cecil-Ramsel
Co, and Cecil-Holt Co., in Chillicothe,
Mart, Texas and Olustce, Oklahoma,
respectively. The boys are evidently
making good as Tazewell boys usual
~ do. We are always glad to give
the boys boost, besides keeping them
and their old home friends and rela-
tlves in touch through the columns of
the old paper.

Pacifist Now a Fighter

London, December 2S.-(Special)-R. D. Denman, M. F., hitherto known as one of the chief pacifists and bitter anti-war speaker. has obtained a commission in the artillery The news of his going Into the army has consequently brought dis uragement to the Union of Democratic Control, Ramsey Macdonaid's peace or ganization. It was only recently that Denman brought out a pamphlet entitled, "On the Road to Peace," in which he ridiculed England's position in the war and stirred up a great deal of anger against himself. In consequence of this, the liberal party council of Carlisle, his constituency, passed a vote of no confi- dence in him and instructed its executive to find another candidate for Parliament. However, Denman declared he would run again at the next election on his own ticket. He is 39 years of age and the brother of Lord Denmans
