THE KILLING OF YOUNG HAR-
MAN,

Mr.. and Mrs. Graf Harman, who
live near North Tazewell, spent sad
Christmas day. On that day they
buried their youngest child. Graf Har-
man, jr., whose tragic death occurred
the day before. He was in the 18th
year Of his age. The boy was shot and
instantly killed, by a boy about 16
or II years old, named Sidney King.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harman were at North
Tazewell at the time Of the sad oc-
currence.
The trial of King took place here
last Saturday in Magistrates court
and he was sent on to the grand
jury:
The circumstances briefly seem to
be about as follows: King was hunt
ing on the hills near the Harman
home. He went to the house after
Harman's dog, which was fastened up.
King was told that he could not have
the dog, as Mr.. Harman objected to
having the dog running over the
place. The King boy, so it is report
ed, told Harman's boy that if he did
MT let him have the dog, ~ will shoot
you" King claims that he had no
idea of shooting, and that the gun
was discharged accidentally. The case
will be brought before the court when
all tile evidence will be given
Tho Harman home was made unut-
terably sad by the tragic death of
their bright, young son, and great

Sargeant Thompson says that since
the fall of 1916 he has collected onlv
one dollar in fines on account of the

Many expressions of the apprecia-
ton of the generosity of Tazewell
County people have been received
here within the past few weeks from
soldiers in different parts of the u.
S., many Of whom are now in France.
The spirit of sacrifice that prompts
the women Of the county to labor
night and day for the comfort of the
men who are fighting to make their
homes safe and secure, will be one
of the shining lights when victory
comes.
The women, and others of the Red
Cross organization, are appreciative
of the kindness of Mr.. Witten, of the
New Theatre, who has shown them
every consideration.
Now, that the holiday season is
over, the Red Cross workers are urg-
ed to get to work with that vigor
displayed sincethe organization was
formed.
Another shipment of Red Cross
goods will be sent to Washington next

singing to almost a divine height. The
choir was organized in 1904 in Chicago,
and has made a sensational European
tour, being given a private audience by
Pope Plus X. Father Finn has been
decorated by the French academy and
the choir was awarded the prize in the
international competition in the division

The choir sings with astounding uno-

speaking of the marvellous voice of Mas

His bird-like notes seemed to reach
