XMAS DAY AT
CONVICT CAMP
w. C. T. U. Adds to Enjoyment
of Men by Distributing To-
bacco and Fruits-Sunday
School by Volunteers.

On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 26th, .
representative of "The Salvation
Army branch of the w. G. T. u.
and small contingent of Tho Fly
ing Squadron, of the County S. S
A. and of the Clinch Valley News
made pilgrimage to the Road
Camp on Bluestone, and did what
they could, to give things little
ehristmassy appearance to those who
are in "prison."
Mrs. ]. A. Leslie represented the
w. c. T. u, T. A. Repass and j.
A. Leslie. the Flying Squadron and
w. Bland Leslie, the Clinch Valley
News. In response to the little no
tice published in the oath issue of
this paper, there were number of
replies in the shape Of oranges,
apples and cake. The Clinch Valley
News and Mr.. Black, sent quite a
number of cigarettes, smoking and
chewing tobacco, pipes, etc All told,
not great amount, but to say that
the men enjoyed the gifts is to
state it mildly, and the more so,
perhaps, because it was surprise.
We all returned feeling that we
had spent an evening we'll, and what
we did was worth while.
Sunday school was in session when
we arrived, led by Mr.. +. +. Hurt,
of Richlands. Sunday school is held
every Sunday afternoon, and it af-
fords fine opportunity for doing
good. A suitable man should be
found among the church people in
that community, who believes in
Home MISSIONS, who will take hold
of this work, and attend to it regular
ly. Capt. Patterson will give all
needed cooperation to any one who
will undertake the work. Where is
the man?
Capt. Patterson is moving his
camp to n point between Dry Town
and Five Oaks. having completed the
work on Bluestone, if I am correct
ly informed. j. A. L.
Christmas in Tazewell was very
quiet. A large number of private
gifts were made. The boys and girls
we're home from school and work,
and everybody seemed to enjoy the
occasion. The stores, banks and post
offico were closed, the weather, while
not ideal as Christmas weather goes,
was very comfortable. There was the
entire absence of noise from the
and the bomb, without
which we used to think Christmas
was not Christmas Mt all and also
The absence of another we'll known
without which some
folks still think Christmas is dull in
deed, Taken altogether, Christmas
1920, wns a pleasant one indeed in
this neck of woods, never disturbed
by strikes, panics, murders and 9TH
er misfortunes common to so many
sections of this great country.
