THINGS DOM AT
NORTH TAZEWELL
Merchants Having Fine Trade,
and Prospects Bright For Fu-
ture Business-Demand for
Lime is Heavy.

Tazewell a few mornings ago, on
special business and found every
body busy and in n good humor.
Jack Whitley was taking inventory
but stopped long enough to gossip a
little, and sell the editor cigar He
is prosperous, and attributes Il good
part of it to his advertising in the
columns of this paper from time to
time.
Reuben Harman, the tall merchant,
moves along in his usual, quiet way,
making little fuss about things, but
getting there all the same.
The Tazewell Supply Company is
moving along. The proprietor, II. G.
Peery, has had much trouble and wor-
ry-certainly his full share, but is
giving what attention he can to the
business. His right hand man, Bob
Ireson, is genial and obliging, but
has been elected member of the An
anias club since the editors visit. He
said he would deliver Il certain pur-
chase | made and then forgot it,"
SOO CllIOllGu
in the club. He is expected to dis
charge his duties of the Office cred
itably.
w. w. Peery, the general merchant
gave me nice order for printing
In addition to his business as mer-
chant, he is also member of the
School Board. He fills both positions
successfully.
Britts & Peery.
These bright young boys have a
nice little grocery and candy store,
and are doing well. The editor was
presented with box of nice New
Years candy, which he brought to
his home, and as he ought to have
done, gave it TO his wife, since which
time the editor has seen othing of the
candy. Ali he can say about it is
that the box looked good and felt
heavy. The boys have our thanks
and best wishes for successful
year.
Star Milling Company.
Mr.. Reedy had everything moving
in the mill. He was grinding chop,
and | ordered two sacks, and find it
all right.
The COW has increased her flow of
milk since l began feeding this good
chop. Mr.. Reedy has the efficient
help of his Industrious daughters in
the miil--about three Of them. He
has some ten or twelve children,
(more or less), and is doing fine. The
mill is prosperous. Reedy is the only
miller l ever knew who had the help
OF his girls in the mill, and it is
good help, too. Of course, the mill
is popular, particularly with the young
fellows, who have the opportunity
perhaps, of little chat while waiting
for their turn" to be ground and
the longer the wait the better per-
haps. The Star Milling Company has
Il. fine local trade, and also ships q lot
of "stuff" both ways. The success of
the business is due to square dealing
and a good bit of advertising in the
Clinch Valley News from time to
time.
Pat Beavers"
] dropped in to sec-just minute
Pat Beavers, the chief cook and
bottle washer of the Geo. P. Hall
Lumber Company. He was smiling
good naturedly as usual, and gave me
an order for printing, and didn't even
ask what we would charge him. You
can bet that we will charge him, all
right. We will make him grunt as
he makes me grunt, when buy lum-
ber from him. The cost of print
er's supplies as well as lumber, etc.,
is "out of sight," now and none of
us know what job can be done for
from one day to the next. The Clinch
Valley News is in position to "put
it over" on the boys as to prices, but
at the best the prices seem too high.
We will all have to "even up,"-
get little more for what we sell,
pay our help more to enable them to
live and nobody should kick. We have
never heard anybody complain that
"Pat" gave them sorry stuff. It is
always good, and if high in price, is
cheaper in the end. However, Geo.
P. Hall & Co. sell as cheap as any
other first class concern.
The North Tazewell Hermit"
No visit to North Tazewell would
be entirely satisfactory to me if |
failed to see and Shake hands with
that genial citizen, John Woodrow
Wilson Campbell, familiarly known
as the Hermit" He is proprietor
of The Tazewell White Lime Works
an institution which he established
years ago, and which has become a
"fixity" in this section. He sells all
the lime he can make and could sell
