CATTLE EXHIBIT
WAS THE BEST
Exhibition at Fair Of Baby
Beaves Attracted Much Atten-
TONY. p. l. Show of Dairy
and Beef Breeds Very
Interesting.

General opinion is that tho baby
beef club exhibit Of calves fed by
boys and girls of Tazewcll, under
supervision of the county agent, was
the best cattle show ever Of homo
fed cattle ever seen ut Tazowell. This
exhibit consisted OF "a fat cattle, IL
l6 months age weighing on an aver
age of 900 pounds per head. These
calves have been fed intensivcly
since last March by 2I Industrious
boys who promise to mako great
cattle mon. These calves made gains
of 500 to GOO pounds in 200 days
and one calf, that of Jos Moss, has
gained 3 2-5 pounds per day. These
boys have also kept records of cost
of feed, pasture, labor, etc, and can
tell you whether they make money
on their calves or not. They arc not
only making good cattle men of
themselves but business fellows also.
This splendid exhibit was conclusive
proof Of the real worth fclub work
in developing farm boys. Tho farm
crs National Bnnk, Bank Of Clinch
Valley and Tazcwcll National Bank
and the Fair Association gave these
boys valuable cash prizes which will
be reported later. Seeing tho earnest
efforts of thesc boys prompted Mr..
a. Il. Litz to encourage them by Civ
ing 10 every boy in tho club $500.
The V. L. !. exhibit consisting of
vi head of cattle, representing thrco
beef breeds and three tlniry breeds,
was without doubt tho most interest,"
ing md instructive cattle exhibit to
ever show ut our fnir. This exhibit
was II selection OF the most valuable
animals belonging to tho V. p. /.
herd at Blacksburg. Among them was
the 2,300 pound hostcin Senior 3
year old bull whose cow mado n
yearly record of 20,787 pounds OF
milk in one year, containing 1,150 1-2
butter, this record being world re-
cord for cows owned and developed
by colleges and experimental sta
tons, also world record for cows de-
vclopcd south of Mnson-Dixn Limo.
The exhibit wns in charge OF Mr.. ii.
G. Turner and other V. p. I. students
who were very obliging in telling
thcpeoplc about the exhibit. Wo feel
their visit was very much to our
people and hope the treatment ac-
corded them by tho Fair Association
will be such ms to induce them to
come again with their exhibit.

The large crowd, composed of lead
ing citizens from all sections of the
county and town and cities outsid,
bore mute but unmistaknblr evidence
Of the popularity Of the deceased
and sorrow ut his death.
The suddcnncss and uncxprct ,d.
ness, of course augmented the SHOCK
The sad news came to the Fair
grounds, crowded with people, large
numbers of whom were rclntcd to
him, and much larger number
knew him, and had known him for
years. and the effect was marked.
And the more so, as he Ind not COM
planned of not being well, but was
supposed to be in unusually good
health for Il man 10 yenrs old.
Joseph Stras Gillespie was son
OF the late VIM. II. Gillespie. and was
one of family Of children, nil of
whom are dead except two sisters.

were detained here until Monday
when they were released.
In passing it might well be statd
that the outcome of the automobile
contest is in keeping with the gambl-
ing spirit that prevails in this COM
munity. The people, as q general
rule, are keeping pace with the ma
tional spirit of trying to get some
thing for nothing. Tazewell county
has moved up several degrees nearer
the top of the sucker list since the
passing of recent events, and there
are still others waiting to pass out
their coin to the slick-tongued gen.
try who may have wildcat schemes
to develop. The after-t -the-war spirit,
superinduced by too plentiful sup
ply of money, is making gamblers of
us all.

CONTEST MAN
GIVES 'EM DODGE
Manager Johnson, Said to be
Ex-service Man, Makes Get
Away With All Funds
Carnival Men Arrested
But Released.

The Automobile contest, which had
been run in connection with the
Southern Amusement Shows at the
Fair last week, blew up last Satur-
day, when it became known that G.
p. johnson, the contest manager, had
decamped with all the money that
had been collected up to and includ-
ing the day before the contest was
to close. Johnson went to Bluefield
Thursday ostensibly to get the new
Dodge car, which was to go to the
person who received the highest vote.
lie came back to town Friday, and
stated that the axle of the car had
been broken in transit and it would
not reach town until late Saturday
night. He returned to Bluefield Fri
day night During the day Saturday
II, C, Gilley, Johnson's assistant
here, became suspicious and made
every effort to locate Johnson in
Bluefield without avail. Others phoned
tn Dodge agency in Bluefield and
were informed that no such man had
been to see them about q car, and
that furthermore delivery of Dodge
cars syas SO far behind that car
could not be secured under sixty
days TING, This confirmed the belief
that JohpsoD had pocketed all the
money he could get his hands on
and made his escape. Mr.. w. A.
Strobe, manager Of the Southern
Amusement Shows, appeared to be
very much incensed at the action Of
johnson and wired the Billboard,
theatriesl journal, offering a reward
for Johpsoa's arrest So far rs known
this is the only action that has been
taken to apprehend the man.
Johnson came to Tazewell about a
week before the Fair, and it was
supposed had arranged to give away
u Dodge car and another car. Many
people in Tazewell became interest
ed IN the different contestants, and
sspent their money freely for their
favorites, johnson is said to be re-
ceivtpg compensation from the Gov
ernment on account of injuries re-
ceived during the war, and talked
very interestingly of the part he took
in the aircraft branch OF the army.
AS to whether his connection with the
army was imaginary or not has not
developed,
Saturday night when the facts be-
came established that johnson had
decamped Sheriff Harman arrested
the Manager of the Carnival, Mr.. w.
