Will Attend Conference in
Richmond Today.

In looking about for Chairman
of the Victory Loan for Tazewell

ion that it was necessary to secure
a man of wide acquaintance and in
whom the people had full confidence,
and in addition to this II busy man,
and considering these qualifications,
Senator j. Powell Royal, who, tho
preferring that someone else be Sc.
lected, agreed through a spirit of
sacrifice and patriotism, to accept the
important position, and left imme-
diately for Richmond where he will
meet the other Chairmen of the State
at tho Jefferson Hotel today. The
committee will today be addressed by
Hon. Carter Glass, Secretary of the
Treasury.
Mr.. Royal recognizes that without
the earnest support and patriotic CO.
operation of every citizen of Taze-
we'll County, he cannot hope to at
tain success in this movement, in
which every one is SO vitality interest
cd. and feels that Tazewell county
cannot afford not to do her full duty.
Tazewell has never failed and will
not do so this time.
Remember, you owe your govern
ment your full support and co-opcra-
ton in this drive.
Upon his return from Richmond
Senator Royal will outline his plans

WELCOMED HOME.

Beautiful and timely was the re-
ception given Mr.. and Mrs. A. M.
Black upon their return to Tazewell
last week. The thoughtful women of

ers hearty welcome and substan-
tial one, too, in the shape of quite n
lot Of nice things for the table. Mrs.
Black found it unnecessary to build n
fire in the range for sometime. "Just
like the women" somebody says. OF
course Mr.. and Mrs. Black are appre-
ciative to q high degree.
Another beautiful act of the w. c.

Mr.. Sam Larimer died, instead OF
sending flowers the ladies sent their
check for $500 to the bereaved wild
ow. Flowers are not amiss. A check
for the living is better and less waste
