PNEUMONIA AT THE CAMPS.

Pneumonia is prevalent in many
of the training camps in the South.
In Greenville, South Carolina, Camp
Wheeler, N. c., Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
and Admission, Ala, there are many
cases. Out of 500 cases of sickness in
a hospital at Camp Mcclellan, 45O are
cases of pneumonia. The disease, in
most cases, followed an attack of
measles. So far few deaths have oc-
cured.
Thomas Long, of Maxwell, called
in one day this week and left bat
wing and half buck, to square up
for year in advance. He reported a
pen of fine hogs to butcher. Hogs
he said, eat more corn this year than
he had ever known before. due, per-
haps to the fact, that corn is not
quite SO sound and hard this ceason
as usual. The editor inquired about
his old friend, j. E. Long, whose wife
came all the way from Maxwell to
Tazewell to have tooth yanked and
was delighted when she learned that
DR.. Copenhaver was out of town, as
the tooth had, of course, stopped ach-
ing. He said j. 3. lived at Salem and
was doing well.

PROGRESS BEING MADE.

The Tazewell Military Company is
making progress towards organiza-
ton. Over twenty men were sworn
in Wednesday night, and new men are
subscribing to the oath daily. 1t is
believed that the required number will
soon be enrolled, and as soon as that
is done, Col. Jo. Lane Stern, State
Inspector, will come to Tazewell and
muster the company into the service
of the State. This will probably oc-
cur next week. All the men who
have joined the company are request
ed to come forward at once and sub
scribe to the oath.
The rifles are expected now almost
any day, and the question Of uni
FORMS will be pushed. Mr.. T. A. Re
pass, member of the company, has
been designated as official solicitor
to the uniform fund. 1t is hoped that
a larger part of the amount needed,
81 500, will be subscribed by the cor
porations of the county, coal COM
panies especially, as they will be more
directly benefited than any other or
ganization in the county.
A number of the members of the
company have been drilling, each ev-
ening in the armory, and will continue
to practice and learn the different
movements.

REACH FRANCE AS
FAST AS WAS PLANNED.

Washington-Arrival of American
troops i'll France has kept pace with
the expectation of the War Depart
ment, Secretary Baker said in n re-
cent statement Mr.. Baker declined,
however, to state the number of the
troops forwarded, or to indicate if
he anticipated delay from this time.
Movement of the forces. he said, de-
pended on two elements, the train
ing and equipment of the. enlisted
men and available of ships.
"As fast as they are ready, ships
and men will be combined" the sec
retary said. "As many American
troops are now overseas as we ex-
pected in the beginning to have over
seas at this time"
Mr.. Baker indicated that an Off
cial statement of the number of the
American troops in France was not
to be expected at any time during
the war. He caused an inquiry to be
made of the military censor, Major
General Mcintyre, however, which
may result in more liberal regulations
as to publication of the designations
of regiments, brigades or companies
which are engaged in action on the
front time to, time. If there is no
sound military reason for Suppress
ing that information, Mr.. Baker said,
he desired to give it out.

LANDS.

Richlands, Nov. 2s.-Mrs. ]. b.
Crabtree was hostess Friday evening
the twenty third, at most pttrac-
tive "42" party, given for the benefit
of the Richlands Auxiliary of the
American Red Cross.
The house was most beautifully
decorated in flowers and red, white
and blue bunting. Fifteen tables of
"42" were played and the tally cards
had u. S. seals and flags on them,
with unique, patriotic little verse
inscribed beneath.
Most delicious refreshments were
served; the ices and cakes carrying
out the RED CROSS design.
About sixty enjoyed the hospital

ported Ii to be decidedly one of the
most delightful and successful parties
ever given in Richlands. More than
forty-five dollars was realized.

ORE EXCITEMENT IN THE WEST
END.

Mr. L. D. Ball, of Stcelsburg, called
in Tuesday and paid his tuition and
reported great excitement in his sec
tion over the discovery that parts of
that section are full of rich manga
nese ore. Kent's Ridge is said to be
the center of the excitement, with
plenty of "boom" and out CT in
other localities. One land owner was
offered $4,000 for body of land
heretofore considered to be worth
about $1,000, and agreed to sell, but
finally backed out.
1t appears that a company from
Chicago, or somewhere west, is ne
gotiating for ore lands in this sec
tion in the west end of the county.
Indications now point to large op-
Grafton in this county, East and West,
in Bland and Giles counties-in the
ore mining business.
Graham and Bluefield, and other
towns in this ore belt, are getting
ready for a boom, Cedar Bluff and
Richlands as well.
