AN AFTER CHRISTMAS DINNER.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. Ed Peery had n
few of their near neighbors to din
ncr on last Wednesdays IL o'clock
dinner. The last Christmas turkey
was slain for the occasion, annd serv-
ed up in the finest sytlc. There sat
down to dinner, Mrs. Capt. Rees
Bowen and Miss Rachel Bowen, her
daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. II. A. Bow
CT, Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Leslie, mine
host and hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Peery.
To say that we had fine dinner
is stating the case mildly. There was
an intelligent, good, up-to-datc cook
in the kitchen on Wednesday to pre-
pare this dinner. Mrs. Pccry said it
was her daughter, Miss Lyde, who had
the efficient help of Jena Witten, the
the smart daughter of Salle Witten,
the well known colored nurse of this
town, who is frequently called upon
on occasions similar TO this. The
feast was delicately and finely scrv-
ed. The turkey was cooked just right,
inside and out. All the frills and ac-
compartments ct cetera ad infinitum,
ne plus ultra, as it were, came in just
right. One pleasing thing about this
dinner was that this scribe was not
called upon to eat something he did
not know the name of. l never did
like to eat stranger without at least
knowing the name thereof. l was in
vited to Il swell dinner some time ago
and when returned my wife, woman
like, asked me what we had to eat.
/ told her l didn't know, but could
give color, flavor, etc, but as to name
she might search me. On this occa-
sion knew the name Of all the num-
crous dishes from the turkey, carved
skilfully and nicely by Mr.. Peery at
the foot, (not head) Of the table, on
down to tho plum pudding on the last
round. One of the prophets wrote,
"Your young men shall see visions and
your maidens shall dream Dreams"
and it occurred to me that these young
folks could easily fill the bill if given
good helping to such plum pud-
ding as we had for dinner. There was
only one dish that for the time being
puzzled me just little to decide up
on its nomenclature. 1t was white,
light, filmy, creation which was pass
ed around, and l would have passed
it, but | noticed that every one of
the diners seemed anxious to get on
intimate terms with the aforesaid
something of the aforesaid creation,
and so followed suit, and was glad
1 did, for it just suited exactly. 1t
was used as top-dressing for pud-
ding, ETC., and after the soil had
been thoroughly broken this top-dres-
sing was applied. learned, by acci-
dent that it was whipped cream, but
for considerable spell was pretty
well whipped out as to what it was
Foolishness aside, We all enjoyed tho
occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peery and their de.
lightful young daughter( Miss Lyde
are fine entertainers, and the socia
feature was fine.

PRESIDENT TO MAKE
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
Will Tour Country in Behalf OF
Larger Army and Navy-Is
Undeterred by Opposition of
William ]. Bryan to Plan.

Washington, January 18.-Presi-
dent Wilson is planning to assume
personal leadership in the fight for q
Z stronger army and navy. So many re-
ports have reached him of confusion
over the issue before Congress, and IF
the uncertainty of the outcome, that
he has determined not only to go be-
fore the people in public addresses but
to confer further on the subject with
leaders of the senate and house.
Representative Hay and Represen-
tative Padgett, chairmen of the house
military and naval committees, re-
spectively, have informed Mr.. Wilson
that it will be from six weeks to two
months before the committees will be
ready to report the army and navy
appropriation bills. While this work
is going on he purposes to do his ut
most to solidify sentiment among the
people and members of congress in
favor of the plans drawn up by the
war and navy departments.
Friends of the President report
him as being undeterred by the open
opposition Of former secretary Bryan
and other pacifiists and by differ
ences among advocates of rational de-
fense over the exact plan to be adopt
ed. He is said to be firmly of the
opinion that the program prepared
by Secretaries Garrison and Daniels
is the best which can be offered at
this time.
Plans for the speaking trips will
be prepared as quickly spossible. If
necessary, the President may change
the White House social program,
mapped out before hristmas.
Congressional machinery was in
full motion today toward the formu-
lation of the bills which finally will
be drawn and brought to a vote as a
result of the administrations pre-
paredness program.
Before the senate military commit
tee, the war departments plan was
reviewed by Secretary Garrison vir-
tually as he presented them to the
house committee last week.
Brigadier General Aleshire, Quar-
termaster general, concluded his tes-
timony before the house committee
and was followed by Brigadier Gen
eral Scriven, chief signal officer. The
latter was questioned closely about
the aviation work of the army.
The trend of Secretary Garrisson's
examination by the members of the
senate committee indicated less op-
position there to the plan of the con-
tinental army than has been shown in
the house committee. Mr.. Garrison
again rugged that the president be al
lowed wide discretion in the orgnai-
zation of this force which he said
was task to be accomplished only in
the light of the experience.
Senator Chamber.ain, chairman of
the committee, with the reservation
that he foresaw MANY obstacles to the
continental army scheme a:.d had not
committed himself TO it, suggested
that it should be submitted in the
form of general authority conferred
upon the president, the work of or
ganization to be carried out under
rules and regulations laid down by
the war department.

do on account of the frozen water
pipes.
Pocahontas people will have the
pleasure of lecture from The Rev.

mcnt to the teachers, who expected to
be present at the Teachers convcn-
tion at Tazcwell on the same date.
Seems to be n pity the date could not
be changed The only oportunity they
would have would be for them to go
from Tazcwell TO Graham and hear
him there on the night of the 28th.
Attorney r. o. Crockett was here
from Tazewell on business this week.

cold weather this week has been Il
handicap, but not deterrent.
The proposed Bluestone junction
station by the N. & w. will be Il
great convenience to the thousands
of passengers who are constantly OH
The move at that place. A $4,000

factionalism in the Republican party,

The progressive Republicans have
been to some extent embarrassed in
their efforts to further the cause oi
progressive legislation and of a pro-
gressive platform and candidate a.

Included in the stellar tenpin ma
teFial which makes up the two teams
representing Washington are men who
are known to have unfaltering ability
on the alleys, and q mere glance at
the line-upb tabulated here furnishes
conclusive proof of the sincerity Of
purpose of the bowlers involved. Prob
ably hrst in Importance to be men
toned 10 the indubitable Harry Krauss
who has always represented this city
in tenpin matters, both at home and
abroad.
Krauss has created a sensation
wherever he has rolled, and w. ".
Thompson, the father Of bowling, said
in Boston last year that "Krauss 10 the
most expert bowler have ever watch
ed" In SO saying Thompson ecohed
the sentiments of all Washington, and
in fact the sentiments of everyone VINO
has seen KrauSs at labor on the alleys.
This ubiquitous bowler has held
championship after championships with
the greatest grace that a title holder
could ever flourish a crown-and TO
all appearances he has not retarded
stE stinEle step IN his work; He is better tSI,
change in the past five or six years,
certainly he has taken no step back
wards.
Supporting Krauss are Jimmy Fields,
who has done much to keep up interest
in tenplns In Washington during the
successful reign OF the duckpins; A. w.
Allison, another stand-patter; Frank
McManarny, who has stuck to the game
like tanglefOot; l. c. Fritz. q frequent
winner In city and national tourna-
ments, and Harry Waters, than whom
there Is no more consistent and capable
roller Of the big pins. These men will
roll on a team to be known as the
Iroquois.
The second Washington team will be
made up OF equally as fine talent, there
being as a leader Dick Barber and TO
aid him D. ID. Walker, Eddie McKnew,
9. f. Jacobson and George Garrett
This quintet has rolled together sue
cessfully under one name or another
for nearly ten years, and their prizes
and. trophies are to be envied by any
other team in the country.
Philadelphia has assembled two ten
pin teams which are calculated to fur
nish stubborn resistance for the Wash
ington teams, and New York has cor
rallied its best bowling business men
to go to the Quaker City tonight.
