THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH sUs.
PENSION OF SERVICE.

In another column may be found
the announcement of suspension of
Sunday services in the Christian
church for the months of January,
February and March and the recom-
mendation that members of the
church and Sunday School attend SER
vices Mt other churches in the town.
One reason assigned for this sus-
pension is given primarily, the con-
servation of fuel. Another and still
moro significant one, that there are
more churches in this town than are
needed anyway. A white church pop
ulation of about 1000 is far too small
for the need Of six churchesAunion
services is proposed Mt least for the
winter. This move on the part of
The Christian church people, will be
applaaded by many. 1t is n move, II
start in the right direction, not only
Tor the purpose Of conservation Of
fuel, but for the conservation of the
religious forces and energies of the
churches, not only for this winter, or
the period Of the war, but for all time
to come. Have other churches the ne
cessary amount Of the spirit Of sac
rliice of UNCONVENTIONAL prejudice, to
follow the example set by the Chris
tian church?

fine was afterwards rcmitted. Camp
bell has been working in HAWKING
Pharmacy off and on for several
years. Alcohol has been missed from
time to time and finally he WAS
caught with the goods. Opinion has
been expressed that he has been
sharing with some one on the outside.
Alcohol has peculiar odor, easily

MRS. JAMES b. PAINTER.

Mrs. Mollie Davis Painter, widow
OF the late James b. Painter, died
suddenly at her home Mt Rural Re
treat Saturday before Christmas. Tho
remains were brought TO Tazewell for
interment. The funeral and burial
service took place Monday from the
Presbyterian church, conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Gilmer, of Rural
Rereat, and Rev. Thomas Mowbrny,
Of Graham.
Mrs. Painter was the second wife
OF the late James B. Painter, who
died about IA years ago at his home
East Of town. He was brother to the
late DR.. Lawrence Painter, and uncle
to DR.. w. /. Painter, of this town.
After his death she sold out her
home, and moved to Rural Retreat,
her old home. To Mr. ]. B. Painters
first marriage six children were born,
VIZ: Warren, now in Covington, Va. /;
Jesse, in Texas; Lima, who married q
Brown and died in Texas; Temple, at
Hopewell; James at Radford and
Charles in West Virginia. The mother
of these children was Miss Sallie Gil
lespie, daughter of the late clerk, r..
B. Gillespie.
His second marriage was to Miss
Moll'e Davis, of Rural Retreat. To
this union six children were born, viz:
Vim. L. Painter. of Coeburn; Ida, Mrs
1. f. Witten, Of Pearisburg; Cary,
(Perk), of Bluff City; Francis, Mrs.
Neal, Of Bluefield; Lillian, Mrs.
Brown, and George, now with the
N. and w. All these last named
children were present at the funeral
and burial Of their mother.
The news of Mrs. Painters death
was greet shock to the people here.
She died Of heart failure and it is
said died within ten minutes after
being stricken. She was about 60
years Of age.
Deceased is remembered here most
favorably. She was woman Of fine
presence, refined, genial and pious.
The Presbyterian church had no more
loyal or worthy member than were
her husband and herself and no chill
dren n truer mother and father This
large family of children have q strong
incentive to try to be present at the
family reunion in the Better Land.
Mrs. Mary Painter, of Pearisburg;
Mrs. w. j. Porterfield, of Pearisburg,
and Miss Ethel Brown, of Rural Re-
treat, were present at the funeral
and burial, as were also the surviv-
ing sisters, Mrs. E. M. Davis, of Ru-
raj Retreat and Mrs. ]. j. Fagg, of
Roanoke, and one brother, ]. F. Dav-
is, of Bristol.

THE coLDEsT WEATHER.

Christmas closed and January op-
ened with the heaviest snow and the
lowest temperature known here for
many years. Some say the coolest ev-
er known in this section. Snow began
to fall on Christmas day, about noon,
and continued at intervals during the
week up to Friday afternoon, when
thetemperature began to drop. Sat-
urday night, thermometers In diff
erent places in the community, regis
tered from rs to 40 degrees below.
Sunday morning, and all during the
day, it was intensely cold. Sunday
Schools and churches suspended, and
few people left their homes at all
during the day. The temperature be-
gan to rise on Monday and since that
day the weather has been warmer.
The snow measured an average of
about IL inches deep.
So far as reported the mercury was
lower in this immediate section than
anywhere else in the country East of
the Mississippi Valley. No suffering
has beer reported. Coal seems to have
been ample.
The Dakota people handed US one
this time for certain.

SUSPENDS REGULAR SERVICE
UNTIL APRIL.

After consultation with the pastor,
the officers Of Tazewell Christian
church, on January 1, 1918, adopted
the following resolution:
Whereas, The Tazewell County
Fuel Board has brought to our attsn-
tion the fact that the National Fuel
Administration requests that in COM
munities where the number of hous-
es of worship is in excess Of tho
needs Of the population to be served,
that a program of union religious
services be adopted until April /,
1918, for the purpose Of conserving
fuel, and
Whereas, the town of Tazewell has
a population Of about 1000 white
people, who support six church or
ganizations, and maintain six hous-
es Of worship, which in our judgment
are more than twice as many houses
as are needed by the population.
Therefore be it resolved, That until
April l, 1918, all regular Sunday
School, prayer meetings and preach
ing services be discontinued in this
church, and until union program be
adopted by the ministers and officers
Of the churches Of the town, we urge
the Sunday-School scholars and mem
bers of this church to attend regular
ly the Sunday Schools and services Of
other churches"
