that he had been commandered to re-
main ut home on Sunday to tend the
new baby girl at his house, which
task he no doubt performed cheer
| fully and gladly for at least five
I minutes.
| The following members of the army
were assigned and rendered fine SER
vice: Rev. t. A. Repass. to Richlands
and Raven. At Richlands he ran into
big Methodist revival meeting, but
managed to sandwich a few remarks.
He left the matter in tho hands of
Brother James B. Crabtree, and as n
partial result of Repasss speech. a
check reached headquarters later for
$500 for the fund from Mr.. F. F.
Hurt. AT Raven some good work was
done, and Geo. Mccall, the Wana-
maker of the East end was assigned
to take care of Raven and vicinity.
Capt. j. N. Harman, an enthusias-
tic Salvation Army man, beat the
drum at Tip Top. He too was up
against Methodist meeting-a quar-
terly meeting at that, in session at
Wittens Mills, where Dir. Wolfe was
preaching and of course had num-
ber of good Tip Top people who
would have otherwise heard Capt
Harman. The news reaches headquar-
ters that n nice sum was promised,
which will be made larger. Mr.. Joe
Hunt, one of the chief men of Tip
Top, has the work in hand there.
AT Wittcns Mills the Presiding
Elder found time to say word for
the cause. MIR. Troy Greer, an old
hand ut the bellows, and our young
friend-a new "recruit" in the squad
ron, Mr.. Graf Bowen, are looking
after the work at Wittens Mills, and
encouraging reports have been re-
ceived already. In Thompson Valley
Rev. B. o. Shannon, "Dr." ]. N.
Rhudy and G. o. Thompson, and w.
j. Harris, are in charge. While down
the Clinch l omitted to mention that
Hon. G. c. Hyatt, at Richlands, and
Mr.. p. p. Hunter and Mrs. w. B.
Steele ut Pounding Mill, are working
for the fund. In Baptist Valley, J.
A. Payne, n member of the squad
ron, will CLEAN in Baptist Valley.
Over about Bandy we hope John Ver-
non will do the handsome thing for
the fund, and be more successful
that he was when he kicked at
Sunday school dog and missed.
At North TaZewcll and Shawvcr Mill.
The Chairman was Mt North Taze-
well on Sunday morning, and made
few feeble remarks to n small but
appreciative crowd, chiefly Sunday
school people. Maj. Jnck Wittep, the
busy North Tazewell physician and
Miss Whitley, assistant, are charge
of the fund in the little city.
In the afternoon the Chairman mo-
tored to Shawver Mill, with Miss
Harman, Miss Miller, Mr.. Robert
Harman, with Mr.. Bland Leslie Mt the
wheel. Much of the pleasure of this
pleasant drive was due to congenial
company, and to "the man be-
hind the Wheel" who drives fast
enough and no faster. l made few
remarks to small crowd ut Shaw
yer Mill-small for special reason
which | learned of afterwards, which
could not be helped, and which need
not be mentioned here.
A number of representative men
and women were present, and listen
ed to what had to say patiently.
Miss Leffel and Miss Gregory will
look after the interest Of the great
Army whose slogan is, "a man may
be down but he's never out"
A remarkable thing-this is the
second time l have had charge of n
campaign in this county for the Sal
walton Army, and have the first
word of criticism or objection yet to
hear from any body, white of black,
Of the work. Every body believes in
the Salvation Army. This makes the
work pleasant.
1t is hoped to complete the can
vass this week if possible, and all
the collectors are requested to re-
port all collections as rapidly as poss-
iblc. Let's wind it up.
