DR.. Peter Winston.

The death of DR.. Peter Winston,
an account of which appears else
where in this paper, comes as a
source of grief to many people in
Southwest Virginia. AS member of
the State Board Of Charities and
Corrections, he made annual visits of
inspection of the jails and aims
houses of this section, and formed a
wide acquaintance with many promin-
enc people, who held him in the nigh
est esteem.
For years and years DR.. Winston
has been loved and vcncrated in our
home-one of the best and truest
friends we ever had. When telegram
to his niece, Mrs. ]. A. Leslie, re-
ceived last Saturday morning an
nounced his passing, we felt and
knew that good and great friend
was taken from us. Few men have
been better prepared to live and none
better prepared to die. j. A. L.

TO DECIDE ON
COUNTY AGENT
Meeting of Citizens Called For
Next Tuesday to Discuss the
h Matter With the County i.
Board of Supervisors.

A mass meeting has been called
to meet next Tuesday, notice Of which
has been given in this paper for
several weeks. One purpose of which
is to advise what action shall be taken
by the Board of Supervisors as to
continuing the Office of county demon
strator for the county, AS we under
stand it, the result of the action of
this meeting will govern the action
of the Board. Other important mat
ters will be taken up.
z In this connection, attention is
called to q communication in this is
sue from President Lawson and the
Board of Directors. 1t is ringing call
to action and harmony. AS this paper
has said heretofore, there should not
be any clashing of interests.
The farmer is the friend and SER
want of all. When the farmer prosp-
ers everybody-cvery other interest
on earth may prosper. Hinder the
farmer, and we keep bread from our
childrens mounths and clothes from
their backs. The farmers cooperative
Association is not-does not claim to
be-a faultless organization. Men
are fallible but as rule teachable
unless swayed by prejudice and self
ish motives. Faults and evils are not
corrected by street talk and criticism
Reformation and regulation should
come from the inside. Mr.. Lawson
well says: "There is more in front of
us than behind u.s." In this new day
the farmers are being reconized,
and are rapidly coming into their
own, and the only force that can
possibly retard and annul their eff
forts will come from the farmers
thcmselves-from the inside, not the
outside.
Read Mr.. Lawsons letter and "when
the roll is called" next Tuesday be
there to answer to your name.

Virginia Schools Must Win.


School supervisors in Virginia arc
said to be determined to win the con-
test now underway with the North
Carolina supervisors for the honor of
making the best record in organizing
saving societies in the public schools.
In the recent contest between North
Carolina and South Carolina the Old
North State was winner by wide
margin.
Miss Ida B. Smith, who is super
visor of public schools for Tazewell
County, is looked upon, it is said, as
one of the most active and enterpris-
ing workers in the, Fifth Federal Re-
serve District, and is expected to
make an excellent showing in this
section. If other supervisors are
equally successful it is believed that
this state will win the contest.
There are many more school sup
ervisors in Virginia than in North
Carolina, and, in many instances
they are working in teams Of two OF
more to q county. Therefore-ant
practically all of the North Carolina
supervisors are working singly-it
was decided that the Old North State
should fairly be given a handicap
This was fixed at the ratio of two tt
. five, which means that North Caro-
lima supervisors are expected to or
ganize two savings societies for every
five organized in Virginia.
In North Carolina the contest close!

when he is put, we have no way to

cord, the Editors monkey wrench,
buggy collar and names, chop sacks,

or balances have never shown up.
These articles of merchandise arc
mourned as lost-gone for good. No
reward was offered for these lost ar
ticles, as the whole bunch wasn't
worth more than quarter. The
Editor didn't think it would pay to
throw good money after bad money.

A Call To The Farmers.
Burkes Garden. Va. Feb. 2

Burkes Garden, Va, Feb. 2.
Members Tazewell County Farmers
Association,
Gentlemen:
The annual meeting of the Asso-
citation will be held on Tuesday, Feb.
10, 1920, at l p. m, in the Court
House at Tazewell, Va. The annual
meeting of the Shorthorn Association
has also been called for this time
and the Supervisors will put the
question whether or not we shall
keep County Agent up to the peo-
pie at this meeting. This will be n
greater and more important meeting
than any we have ever had. The
future success of our organization
will largely depend on what is done
at this meeting. Proposed plans of
reorganization will be offered for
both associations which will mark a
great step forward in our work. We
have great and powerful organiza-
tion and our progress has been phe-
nominal. We have tasted of coopera-
ton, an economic necessity for the
future progress of the farmer, big
and little. We must drill and educate
into ourselves the fundamental prin-
ciples of success in cooperation:
First, honest, able, and energetic
leadership and management, free
from any conflicting interests, and a
spirit of justice and impartially to
all. Second, a membership insisting
on management with the above quail
fications, regardless of friendship, re-
lation, politics, or religion. Third, a
loyal membership, every member a
worker, loyal to your leaders, your
association and the cause and asking
no personal favors. Fourth, expulsion
of all slachers, traitors, and knock
ers. without lust cause. You are do
ing nothing for your Association if
tage of its cheap prices. Any one
will do that. We must have stormy
days; stand firm, don't go with the
wind as chaff, don't tolerate dis
honesty. Don't be advised by oppos-
ing interests, don't sell yourself don't
"knock" because of an honest mis-
take; we all make them, and don't
scatter but stand united to reap the
benefits and correct faults alike.
Wake up to both your opportunities
and obligations, for there is more ir
front of than behind us. Come tc
this meeting and be on time. 1t is
both a privilege and duty. When the
roll is called will you be there?
