JOHN d. BUYING SOUTHWEST

Twenty-One Thousand Acres In Rus

chased in Recent Weeks.
4 4 special from Norfolk, says:

A special from Norfolk, SAYS:
Iwenty-one thousand acres of land
in Russell and Buchanan counties have
been purchased within the past few
weeks for parties said to be repre-
senting John d. Rockefeller. Nine
thousand acres of land were pur-
chased at 5000 an acre and 10000
acres were bought for $40 an acre.
w. l.. Dennis, clerk of the court of
Buchanan county and others, owners
OF vast amount of land near Dumps
Creek, were offered similar prices for
l4,OOO acres of land wanted by the
supposed Rockefeller interest but the
declined to sell at those figures.
He wanted SIS an acre for his land
and it is reported when that was of
fered him, he was sorry he did not
ask for more. He has not yet closed
the deal for this land, but he is ex-
pected to do So most any time.
The purpose for which the land is
wanted mystifies the residents of Rus
sell and Buchanan counties, according
to reports received here, until it was
whispered that it contained consid-
cradle coal of the quality now brought
here from West Virginia by the Nor
folk d. Western Railroad.
A Norfolk lawyer who represented
one or more of the parties purchasing
the land, declined to say who is buy
ing it, or for what purpose it will be
used. He said there was nothing of
public interest in the matter and stat
ed that he always made it q practice
not to divulge the names or the bus
mess of his clients. He said, howev-
er, that Rockefeller was not inter-
ested in buying the land.

q. A. Leslie, jr., in Richmond Vir-

Virginia is going dry!
AS October prepares, in these last
two days. to lay away her records on
the shelves of time, she will place
with her annals the finished history
of the life of John Barleycorn in the
Old Dominion. For the first time in
the life of Virginia she is able to say
/ that day after tomorrow" liquor will
no longer be sold within her bound

This state of affairs has come about
after fight that was marked by
struggles never seen before in this
country. 1t was more difficult because
of the fact that Virginians have boast
ed, since the first shipload of colonists
stepped upon the sands of new and
untried land, that the words "mint
julep" was written in the creed of
gentlemen" and that the flowing bowl
was a household requisite. Hence,
when those forces, which realized the
lengths Of degradation to which the
abuse OF drink were carrying the
fathers and sons of the Common
wealth, attempted to stem the tide of
evil which was threatening to engulf
and swep away the bloom of man.

tions of efficient citizenship, they
were confronted by frowning oppo-

their sons crucified upon cross

demon that walked hand in hand with

NORTH TAZEWELL OR BURK E'S
GARDEN SWITCH.

A business man here remarked the
other day that "should the Clear Fork
branch Of the N. & W., now being
surveyed, terminate at Burke's Gar
den switch. North Tazewell will be
set back and materially injured"
His idea was that stores and bust
ness houses would build and open at
the terminus, and to that extent
draw trade &C., from North Tazewell.
His view may or mp'' not be cor
rect. AT any rate the North Tazewell
people, and the Tazewell people as
business and do what they can, if
anything to have the road terminate
at North Tazewell, which would, be-
yond question be of benefit to both
towns-Tazewell and North Tazewcll.
