Prohibition Don't Prohibit?

The perfect order that prevailed in
Tazewell Wednesday is accounted for
largely by the fact that Virginia is
dry. 1t was the first big celebra-
ton ever held in this section of the
State where there were not lot
drunken men and boys making fools of
themselves. What a contrast to few
years ago.. when it used to be that
in all gatherings, (even at church
with, and provision made for extra
policeman to preserve order. MANY
of the citizens of Tazewell, who have
had occasion to observe public gath
erings in the past, We're forcibly
struck by the difference in the order
of Wednesday of this week and the
order of court days few years back.

Two Companys of Militia Moved
On Short Notice.

1t was decided early in the after
noon to hold the two Companies of
militia in Tazewell until after the
departure of No. II, the last west
bound train for the day, and have an
exhibition drill on the street. 1t be-
came necessary, then, to provide n
way to get the boys back to their
camp. Mr.. w. G. HARRISON said "Irl
fix it," and in little while he had
secured enough automobiles to haul
both companys. The boys intended
walking back to camp, but after din
ner several of the big eaters of the
company were "too full for walking"
and consequently the auto route. The
companies were mobilized near the
Court House and with little or no con-
fusion were gotten away in time to
reach camp for supper.

THE FOURTH AT JEWELL
RIDGE,

The Fourth of July was red let
ter day in the history of the Big
Sandy Ridge. After the immense con-
course of people had gathered Mt
Jewell Ridge it was made known to
them what had been prepared for
their entertainment and their joy in
creased as the day passed. Long be-
fore they reached the Y. M. c. A.
building of the Jewell Ridge Coal
Corporation, (the place appointed for
the procession to form in line), the
delightful music of the Salem Boos-
ter band could be heard, which in
spired the people and fired their en-
thusiasm. The long procession form
ed in line, with the girls dressed in
white, who carried the flag that was
hoisted on the choicest pole that could
be found on the Big Sandy Ridge. At
ter the flag was raised and the pro-
cession had marched to n beautiful
grove which is kept in tack by the
coal company for such occasions, the
bountiful dinner was spread and all
invited to partake of it, and it was n
dinner that would satisfy the appetite
of any one and was sufficient for hun
dreds of more people.) 1t was per-
fectly evident from this spread that
the good people of that community
did not believe in doing things half
way.
After dinner, Mr.. George w. St.
lair introduced Senator j. N. Harman
who was the speaker of the day. He
spoke of the great undertaking be-
fore the American people, and urged
every man, woman and child to do
their full duty to help win the war,
so that we, as a nation, may cele-
brate many more anniversaries of in
dependence. The speech of Senator
Harman was instructive, well deliy-
cred and appreciated.
Following the speech were many
contests in broad jumping, high
jumping, 100-yard foot race, mule
race, horse race, climbing the greesed
pole. catching the CREASED pig, ETC.
During the entire day the great band
from Salem delighted the people with
most delightful music.
The members of the band stated
they had been requested to go to
Richmond, for the 4th, but that they
chose to go to Jewell Ridge, and that
they were delighted that they had
made that selection, and hereafter al
ways give them Jewell Ridge; that
the Town on top of the mountain, the
fine rarefied air, r,hospitable people and
fine treatment from all who had
charge, and especially Mr.. and Mrs.
Delp, had won their hearts.
The success of the day was due in
q large measure to Mr.. Delp. the su-
perintendent of the Jewell Ridge Coal
Corporation and his estimable wife.

THEY WERE HERE, ALL THE
SAME.

If any doubt existed in the minds
of the fearful that the people of the
county could not and would not at
tend a Fourth of July celebration here
they now. give themselves credit of
mistaken judgment.
They We're all here Conservative
estimates place the number of people
here, all told at not less than 5000
Several sensible men said more than
5000 were here. There was scarcely
room for anymore. The streets and
sidewalks We're thronged with peo-
Pile and automobiles.
The stores were closed except drug
stores, and these stores were thronged
all day
Oh yes, they were all here, and the
wheat and hay crops will be saved
all right and the corn plowed just
the same.

Editor Clinch Valley News:

Editor Clinch Valley News:
Sir,-Nothing gives the people Of
Tazewell finer illustration of their
country's greatness than the locally
colored object lesson of their Fourth
of July celebration. Like everything
American nowadays, it was immense.
That you proposed and advocated it
will be to you in after years a joy
akin to that reserved for the boys
of today who were among the first at
the front, or the devoted women and
lovely girls who gave real charm to
the spectacle and pageant. "They"
differentiate "our" celebration from
all others.
Like the Liberty Loan and the Red
Gross fund, TaZewelPs and North
Tazewell's and the county's celebra-
ton of Liberty, Day was oversub-
scribed. JOHN.
