ANENT JOHN BARLEY CORN.
Editor Clinch Valley News:
John RnrleYcorn.

Editor Clinch Valley News:
Sir,-Anent John Barleycorn,
can they haze sworn solemn oath
John Barlcycorn should die"
They tell US that he died at mid
night on June 80, and that,
"rhey took plough, and ploughed
him down,
Put clods upon his head,
An they haze sworn solemn oath
John Barleycorn was dead"
But isn't he only officially dead ?
Does it really count except in u
theoretical sense? Out this way per
haps far from the center of civil
zation) are,
Twenty thousand Cornish men,
Who've sworn for him to die"
and who only wink ut the announce
ment.
They might sing,
"John Barleycorn's body lies molder-
ing in the grave,
But his soul goes marching on"
as they rcvel in Bacchanalian or
gies of midnight, while day attests
the truth of the presence.
This is the situation in the Appa-
lachan region Gsn't it the same
elsewhere and it will require the
utmost official vigilance to bring on
ward the Millennial Dawn.

No one can have followed thede-

stated by some one and that these be
held to form the basis of constructive
reformation later on.''
We don't know great deal about
conditions in Korea. Perhaps there
have been terrible atrocities there;
perhaps, on the other hand, evil con
ditions have been exaggerated into
atrocities by good men, driven for
ward by religious zeal and crusad-
ing enthusiasm. We have known mis-
sionaries who were finely equipped
Tor missionary work, but who were
not at all fitted for the practical
tasks and the sober judgments of
craftsmanship.
But we do know that relations be-
tween this country and Japan have
reached the critical stage more than
once in recent years. We do know
that If there is a determined effort
IN the United States to work up anti
Japanese feeling; that there is an
other Belgium in, Korea, that will
presently arise danger of war be-

HOME COMING CELEBRATION

Many things have been said of the
hospitality of the good white people
of this, our Tazcwell, but like the
Queen Of Sheba when size made her
visit to question King Soloman. "The
half was never told"
The historic city was filled to
running over with all kinds of pco-
pie white and colored, on the above
date.
The speeches were timely and
good. The crowd was orderly, peace
able, congenial, and respectable. The
soldiers march from North Tazewcll
to the Court House was sufficient to
prove the real training that the boys
had received while in the service of
the United States.
Every American who was present
could but say, "Thc boys look good 4"
/ | do not know the name of the COM
handing officer CT tie white boys,
but do know that Mr.. Trevaland
Nash was the officer of the day for
the colored boys. This alone was
enough to encourage our Race to give
the best that there is in them to the
young generation. 1t was shown that
we have the talent, mack, and ncdvc
we have the talent, ard knock to do
what ever there is to be done. Just
give US Il chance.
We now come to the most Won
derful work of the American Red
Cross
There cannot enough be said for
the good white ladies that were ut
the head of this great move. Mrs
kilby, formerly Of this city, now
of Lynchburg, Va, and Miss Gillespie
of this city, certainly know how to
make folks think of the long talked
of Democracy"
Equal Rights, Equal Justice, Equal
Treatment and Equal Recognition.

to forget the path already trod, and
onward press their way?

that brought this treat to pass, live
long, and enjoy the riches of Our
Heavenly Father, and continue to do
such things that more friendly re-

committeeman, md was for long
time state Chairman of the Repub-
lican party of Virginia. Congressman
Slemp being from the Ninth it is
natural and to be expected, that
speakers sent out by him should be
his friends. A Democratic Congress-
man would no doubt, do the same
thing, in much the same way.
"No politics in It," they all de-
clare. OF course not. But if Demo
crat came here to speak to large
crowd on such an occasion, and were
to assert that neither Intentionally
nor implicitly, that there "is no
political propaganda in it," some
folks we know would call him a liar.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN
WHITE. SOFT. CLEAR
Make This Beauty Lotion For Few
Cents and See For Yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating ana
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through Il fine cloth
the juice of two fresh lemons into u
bottle containing about three ounces
of orcahrd white, then shake well and
you have whole quarter pint of skin
and complexion lotion at about the
cost one usually pays for small par
Of ordinary cold cream. Be sure to
strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for many
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear smoother and to
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
