him by a relative in Vermont. That's
how 1t happened that he bought farm

Grimshaw put the screws to him."

couldn't tell you. So had to-"
"Why couldn't your father and moth

'They didn't dare. Mr.. Grimshaw
made them promise that they would
not speak to you or to any Of your
family. I heard them say that you and
your uncle did right. Father told
mother that he never knew man so
honest as your Uncle Peabody"
Just then we came upon the Silent
Woman sitting among the dandelions
by the roadside. She held a cup in
her hand with some honey on its bot
tom and covered with a piece Of glass.
"She 10 hunting bees" I said as we
stopped beside her.
She rose and patted my shoulder
with smile and threw a kiss to Sally.
Suddenly her face grew stern. She
pointNa toward the village and then at
Sally.
"Ne means that there Is some dam
yer ehead of you," said.
TIE Silent Woman picked a long
hky1e of grass and tipped its end in
tA, honey at the bottom of the cup.
She came close to Sally with the blade
Of grass between her thumb and finger.
"She is fixing charm" I said.
She smiled and nodded as she put a
drop of honey on Sally's upper lip.
She held up her hands while her lips
moved as If she were blessing us.
II suppose it will not save me If I
brush it on" said Sally.
We went on and In a moment bee
lighted on the honey. Nervously she
struck at 1t and then cried out with
pain.
"The bee has stung you." said.
She covered her face with her hand
kerchief and made no answer.
"Wait minute-rll get some clay"
I said as I ran to the river bank.

with the water and returned.
''There, look at mel" she groaned.
'The bee hit my nose"
She uncovered her face. now de-
formed almost beyond recognition, her
nose having swollen to one Of great
size and redness.
"You look like Rodney Barnes"
said with laugh as applied the clay
to her afflicted nose.
"And l feel like the old boy. think
my nose is trying to jump OF and run
away"
We were nearing the village. She
wiped the mud from her prodigious
nose and wet her handkerchief in a
pool of water and helped her to wash
it. Soon we saw two men approaching

Benjamin Grimshaw, the richest man
In the township, was dead, and have
yet to hear of any mourners.
Three days later saw his body low
cred into Its grave. The little, broken
spirited wife stood there with the
same sad smile on her face that had
noted when first saw her in the hills.
Rovin' Kate was there in the clothes
she had worn Christmas day. She was
greatly changed. Her hair was neatly
combed. The wild look had left her
eyes. She was like one whose back Is

Lisere and milan straws are very

Tazewell institution Has Had
Splendid Record of Service
During More Than a Quar-
ter of a Century.

This is to remind the good folks
OF this favored section that this bank
opened for business on the 9th day
OF December, 1889, and has completed
thirty years of successful banking.
Many changes are wrought in three
decades; in fact, in all the annals of
history, except that pertaining to the
birth, death and resurrection of the
Prince of Peace, will you find any,
thing approaching the momentous
events of the past thirty years.
Earthquakes have shaken the very
foundation of this old earth. Fire
and flood have levied heavy tolls of
life and property, leaving ruin in it's
path. Pestilence has stalkcd abroad
IN many lands and claimed its victims
by the millions. Financial panics have
convulsed our country from time to
time, leaving "the survival of the
flttest." Industrial troubles have all
but rent the very social and financial
fabric of the worlds governments:
and terrible war, far exceeding the
widest imaginings of man, has been
successfully concluded, and the whole
face OF Europe changed.
All this, and more, in thirty vears

of Clinch Valley has proceeded in its
modest way, serving its patrons as
efficiently and effectually as posi-.

forces already referred to, she has
forged along slowly, but surely, and
stands today as monument of the
confidence and esteem of the good
people of this section.
| We are called conservative, but let
it be remembered that this is the
pioneer bank of Southwest Virginia
to open it's doors on basis of max
ing loans at per cent interest, when
the prevailing rate at that time, and
for years after, was much higher.
Please bear in mind that this was 80
years ago.
Now, we wish to thank all those
who had a part in making this bank
a success and to say that if you are
not already customer of this bank
