APPALACHIAN POWER MAY BE
USED HERE.

We are advised by Jas. Ed. Peerv,
President of the Tazewell Electric
Light and Power Company that nego-
tiations are under way with view
of securing Appalachian power for
Iazewell. 1t is proposed to build n
line across the country to .Jcnkin-
zones, w. Va. ten miles by air line,
and connect with the Appalachian
line there. The problems of the small
electric light and power plant have
to such an extent in the
last few years. that some action
has to be taken if the present etfic
iency is maintained. In case Appa.
lachian power is brought here, it is
said that the rate will be lowered.
and that ample current will be avail
able for all purposes, such as cleo
trio stoves, electric heaters, etc.

Made and Mash Destroyed.
Abb's Valley. June %.

ADD s valley, June 23.
Mudfork and Abb's Valley citizens
are all humming the old farewell to
John Barleycorn and everybody is
beginning to realize that there is
actually bone dry law in full force
in the U. S. A. since chief prohibi-
tion officer, Alma Mutter and his
deputies have been at work in tho
neighborhood. The result of the raid
has been, up until this date, five
men arrested and about three hun
dred gallcns of mash poured out on
Mudfork and Abbs Valley alone. TIL.
men were: Hoye Wiley, Tom Hayes,
Walter Buffalow, John Nunley, and
Bob Jones. Two of the men were re-
leased on $250.00 bond for their ap-
pearance at August court, and three
were released on S1,00O00 bail. Well
lets all hope that the dry wave will
continue and that John Barleycorn
has left to stay. Let's hope he has
destroyed the last home that he will
ever destroy, and that the money
that has heretofore been given for
him will now be used for n godly
purpose.
