PRICE OF COAL TO BE ADYANC.
ED SOON.

NV York. March 3O.-Thc action of
President Wilson's coal commission in
granting bituminous mine workers n
wage increase of 27 per cent, means
the price of conl at the mines will
advance 65 cents to $l.25 II ton, bit
luminous operators announced here.
With rcgnrd to the claim that thew
desired to keep the price of coal ns
low MS possible and to avoid specula-
tion in the product of their mines.
mine owners cited Illinois as the only
state where the minimum increase
would 4apply. This was said to bc
due to local cnoditions, which lessen
the cost of production.
Since the removal of bituminous

"AUNT" KATE HAGY.

There are heroes and hcroines
whose name and fame is never en-
blaZoned in the pages of the maga-
zines, or even the newspapers. They
live circumscribed life and dic-not
unhonored but unsung.
There died few weeks ago near
Grafton, good woman, of whom the
people of her own county,, outside
the small ncighborhood in which she
lived, knew but little. She lived and
moved within narrow circle. md vet
no man or woman in this or any other
community, was more useful or more
dearly loved or more highly respect
ed.
Katherine lIagy, known in her COM
munity as "Aunt Kate" was born
and reared near Concord. She was
sister to the late Henderson Hagy, of
Grafton, and hence aunt to the Hapy
brothers of this community, well
known and useful citizens. She spent
her life in ministering to the sick and
suffering in the ncighborhood. She
was never married, but was perhaps
the foster-mother of nearly every
child born in her neighborhood for
many years. Mr.. Phillip Baugh said
the other day that Aunt Kate Hagy
nad raised nearly every man and
woman in the community of Grafton"
She was present at the birth and
when sickness came she was always
ON hand to help. And at the last it
was her hand that ministered when
death came into the home. No wond-
er it was, that when her end came,
and she lay n corpse, tears rained
down the faces of the men and wo-
men who had known and loved her
through all the years. Her remains
were interrd in the cemetery at Con-
cord, within mile or so of the place
of her birth. She lived to be about 85
years of age, n consistent member of
the Lutheran church. If there is a
name deserving of honor and worthy
of being enshrined in the memories
of the people of Clear Fork it is that
of "AInt Kate Hagy."

AUGUSTUS F. DALEY.

Mr. Daley was one of Tazewell's
Oldest and best men. He was best
known, not for his wealth or business
qualities but for his deep piety, re.
ligious fervor and conservation to the
cause of the Master. After sixty
two. years of service he passed away
on last Friday, the &c, ut his home
III Baptist Valley. The remains were
laid to rest in the family cemetery
near his home. Rev. j. Z. Graham,
his pastor, assisted by Rev. ]. M.
Grove: of this town conducted the
service.
BY hos own request six of his sons
were pail bearers.
w. E. Peery was undertaken.
He was nearly 50 years of age.
Besides an aged widow he leaves
eleven children, two having died some
years ago.
Deceased had lived in the home in
which he died ever since his MARI
iage, in 1859. His wife was n Miss
Ratliffc before marriage.
The writer of these lines recalls
pleasant sabbath afternoon spent
in the home of this old saint some
years ago. His conversation was cx-
clusively about religion. He was in
tercsted all his life in Sunday School
work. His son, II. b. Daley was at
that time superintendent of the Sun
day School at Daileys Chapel, and
the old saint said with grateful tears,
that he rejoiced that he had a boy
who was taking his place in the
ranks
He knew when and where. time and
place, of his conversation.
He told of great camp meeting
held at the George camp ground near
Pisgah, and the name of the preach
er (Which is not recalled), and all
about it. He said that any one who
did not know when and where he
passed from darkness into light"
had probably never passed. "If he
has he will know it," he said When
| left he said, he would soon pass
away. that his work was done, but,
he said, II am ready"
No one ever left Tazewell for
heaven who left behind a stronger
testimony of the truth of the Bible.
"He that liveth and believcth in
Me shall never die, and l will raise
him up at the last day."

HOW TO HELP
YOUR TOWN
Lecture on Troubles of a Mer.
chant and. How To Stop Them"
Heard by Large Audience
at New Theatre.

Mr.. R. H. Kennedy, business lee.
turer of the National Cash Register
Co., of Dayton, Ohio, spoke at the
New Theatre Wednesday night on
"The Troubles of a Merchant AND
How to Stop Them" There were
about three hundred people present
The speaker was introduced by w. A,
Scott, President of the Tazewell-
North Tazewell Board of Trade, und-
CT the auspices of which the enter
tainment was given.
Two things are necessary to make
q. growing town: 1t must be an attrac-
tive, pleasant and safe place in which
to live and care for ones family and
1t must be good trading center. CO.
operation of all citizens in work for
the Improvement. of the town was
urged by the speaker.
The business men need an orraniza-
tion such as the Board of Trade. in
order that through it they can work
together for the Improvement of
business conditions in the town.
The business talk was illustrated
by stereopticon views and motion pic
lures. Mr. Kennedy gave an ANALYSIS
oil business failures last year, Il sre-
ported by Dun and Co. 35 per cent of
these were due to the incompetency
OF the merchant, but other causes
were shown to be at bottom due to
incompetency.
A form of organization was shown
for small stores and strongly urged.
in order that the work of the store
may be carried on smoothly and
efficiently, each clerk having definite
duties in caring for the stock and dis
play of the goods.
Newspaper advertising was taken
up and many suggestions given as to
proper methods. Mr.. Kennedy urged
continuous advertising in the local
papers as the best and cheapest way
IN which to reach The buying public,
and showed how to prepare copy.
Window displays were shown to be
public in the goods. and bringing the
buyers into the store. The display,
like the newspapr ad, should be sim
pie and attractive, showing but one
line goods at time, or goods re-
lated in use.
The film showed general mer-
chandise store conducted by Mr.. j.
w. White. In the firsa part the losses
due to carelessness and out of date
methods were clearly seen. The clrks
wer indifferent, poorly trained, and
their lack of attention to business
caused dissatisfaction and loss Of
customers. Mr.. White was near
bankrupt and the banks had refused
him further credits before he INSTALL
ed better system.
In the latter part of the-film Mr..
White is seen in re-modeled up to
date store. The clerks have been
trained to better and omre efficient
service, better records are kept, and
the merchant prospers.
The PICTURES and talk gave many
helpful suggestions to the merchants
and to the clerks who wish to improve
their service to customers and their
business methods and records, one of
the most important of which was,
presumably, the instalment of a cash
register system.

MOVING TO WAR.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Beavers, well
known people of Bandy, were here
the other day, visiting Mrs. Beavers
mother, Mrs. Burcham. "Jim" is
moving to the city of War, w. Va. to
try his luck, and ordered his paper
changed accordingly.
Another good citizen of Bandy, Mr..
j. A: Brown, called in the next day,
and had severay things to say. One
was, that the Sunday School at his
place was being started up after its
snooze all winter, and that the Editor
and the Flying Squadron should come
over, and repeat their former visit.
The Squadron will go over, and sec
how John Vernon is getting on with
the school and the dogs. John is the
only man known to be able to kick
dog clear out of the church without
touching the dog, or tumbling over
backwards. To swing your foot full
sweep at dog and miss him, as is
usually the case, and not fall over
backwards, is hard thing, but John
it is ventured that he takes better aim
next time.

WHAT ALLIED THIS STEER?

Mr.. j. R. Meek, one of Burkc's
Gardens well known stockmen, was
here on Tuesday, and in conversation,
said that he had had n new and puzzl-
ing problem put up to him recently
something entirely new in hig expert
cnces with cattle. He said, that one
of his large steers was lying down,
and did not look right, or get up to
eat when the bunch was fed. The
feeder tried to make him get up. The
steer raised on his fore feet but SEEM
ed unable to get on his hind feet,
which he finally did with assistance.
He began rowing around among
the herd. Mr.. Meek said he tried to
drive him but couldn't get him any,
where. The steer seemed deprived of
sense as well as sight. He would
walk straight against the other cat
tie, and continue in any direction on
which he happened to get started. He
did not stagger, and evidently was
not poisoned.
He was not wild or vicious. Final
ly, he started bee line for the mill
pond, and kept right on and in he
went, sunk, rose to the surface, said
Mr. Meek, and swan across. Failing
to get out on that side he swan back.
The bank was high; he then went on
up the stream, and finally was gott-
EN- out and into lot. He was still in
a dazed condition, would walk right
up to and against any obstruction.
When Mr.. Meek left home on Tues
day the steer was sitting on his hind
parts, like a dog, and seemed no bet
ter. Now asks Mr.. Meek, what was
the matter with the steer? Who can
say?

WHEN BUYING A CAR.
Mr.. Prospect,
Oa1,. O..

Mr.. Prospect,
Dear Sir:
When YOU buy an automobile one
OF the most important considerations
is the permanency of your invest
ment.
Any sudden change in style or
design is bound to cause undue loss
by depreciating the value of your car
which becomes over night an "old
model"
1t is notable, therefore, that Hud-
son Super-Six design has never
undergone any radical changes. I'M
'provement has come through refine
ments resulting from the experience
of more than $4,000 owners.
Every day you will see Super
Skies four and five years old, which,
both in performance and appearance
might well be judged of recent pro-
duction. AS result, the resale value
of Hudson today is higher than that
of any other fine car on the market.
This, too, in another proof of the
superior endurance and inherent quail
ity of the patented Super-Six motor
which can be obtained only in Hud-
son. BY minimizing destructive vibra-
tion, this motor not only gives better
performance but also longer life.
For years Hudson has been the
largest selling fine car in the world.
This year the demand is greater than
ever before while our allotment is
far below our needs. So the only way
to guard against disappointment in
obtaining delivery Of your car is to
place your order at once.
Yours very truly,
PAINTER MACHINERY CO.
A nice lot of Easter Greeting Cards

FRIGHTFUL END
TAZEWELL LADY
Mrs. Reynolds, Minister'S Wife
Shoots Herself at Home In
Princeton, Leaving 9 Child
rem, Youngest Five Weeks.

One of the most frightful tragedies
on record occurred ut Princeton. w.
Va, last Friday. Mrs, Reynolds, wife
OF Rev. John Reynolds, pastor of the
Christian church, committed suicide
on Friday morning last, dying ms
tantly. The remains were brought to
Shnwvers Mills, where the funeral
and burial service was held last Sun
day. She was daughter of the late
Geo. w. Shawver, of Clear Fork.
No cause has ben assigned for the
rash except that she was suddenly
crazed. Her health was poor, and she
had not recovered entirely from the
illness incident to the birth of a baby
five weeks previous. She was a small.
delicate woman, weighing less than
one hndred ponds, it is said, and was
the mothr of 10 children, the oldest
II years, the youngest five weeks.
The weapon with which she ended
her life was an old pistol, n relic of
the Hatfield Mccoy fcud, which some
one gave Mr.. Reynolds some years
ago, it it said, and which was kept
locked in u trunk. Mrs. Reynolds
broke the lock on Friday morning,
ana placing the gun against her right
temple, pulled the trigger. The bull
let passed entirely through her hend,
causing instant death.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds were
residents of this community Mt one
time. Mrs. Reynolds born and reared
ON Clear Fork, and Mr.. Reynolds at
tended school here at Tazewell col
lcge.
The news of the dreadful tragedy
was a shock to the people of the en-
tire community. Mrs. Reynolds was
45 years of age.
