The Tazewell County Farm Bureau
held it's annual meeting in the Court
House on Monday at II o'clock. Pres
ident Robt. S. Moss presided, and
called the meeting to order. Mr.. NJ.
l.. Peery was secretary. After Il short
address by President Moss, Mr.
Peery, Secretary of the Bureau, made
n report, in which he stated in part,
that the assets of the Bureau, which
included the Tazewell Farmers AS
sociation, the original organization
are at this time over $l2,O0O.OO,
which includes about $1,000 in cash,
pure bred bulls, $4,000, and real
estate at North Taztwell about $2500.
The liabilities consisted only of the
capital stock, about S7,325.00. So, it
seems, the secretary said, the stock
now is worth about two to one.
1t was decided to build a ware
house Mt North Tazewell at once.
This matter had been postponed on
account of high cost of material ETC.,
but will now be put through. A build

Graham High School Wins Buskct .
ball Championship of Southwest

mn Graham, Va, March /.
The Graham High School girls
basketball team defeated Marion,
state champions of 1920, Friday night
on the V. p. |. court, the score be-
ing 15 to 10. The game was charnc-
terized by the V. p. I. cadet corps
as being the best girls game they
have ever witnessed. The game was
scheduled to decide the champion
ship of Southwest Virginia, and
throughout the thirty minutes oil
play it was very evident that n cham
pionship game was in progress be-
tween two evenly matched games.
In the first minute of play Gra-
ham got the jump of Marion by
scoring goal from foul, and they
held the lead throughout the con-
test. The outstanding feature f the
game. was the playing of Captain
Mamie Sexton at guard for Graham.
For Marion the guards played n
stellar game.

the championship of Western Va.
The town of Graham has been ap-
preached by the secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce of Graham,
Texas, with n suggestion that this
own change it's name, so that the
town of Graham, Texas, will be the
onlv town in the United States hav-
ing the name of Graham. They are
making the same overtures to the
towns by the same name in our sis
ter states. North Carolina and West
Virginia. What the other towns may
decide TO do remains to be seen, but
his town is quite content to keep It's
name, as it is not likely that the
Graham, Texas people can suggest
any other name that would sount
as well to us, and inasmuch as M
reconsideration has been mentioned il
event f our acceptance of the prop
osition we feel inclined to lay tn,
matter under the table. 1t is quit
a common thing for a man to 90 "l
counting" but for town to make
pproposal to another town to chang
its name is somewhat unique.

bankment, and jumped on him and
took his gun away from him-a Win
chester shot gun and Il 3S calibrc re-
volver. AS soon rs the negro had
secured the gun he released Jones
and broke for the hills. In the mean
time the negro had passed to Roy
Hagy, another white convict, the
shot gun, with the expectation that
Hagy would assist them in the get
away, but instead Hagy passed the
gun to Jones, who opened fire on
the men.
Medley and the negro who was
wounded were about $50 feet from
Jones when he opened fire on them.

AMONG THE coLoRED PEOPLE.

Chas. D. Hartman, the well known
carpenter, and his wife, celebrated
their birthdays, February 2Oth-a
kind of double-barreled affair it
was. Charles was 60 and his wife, sc.
There were present on the occasion,
George Young and wife, nephw and
neice. Thorpe, w. Va; Mollie Ban
dy, Charles sister, of Algoma, w.
Va; Yerlda Floyd, Gary, w. Va;
sister to Charles wife; Laura Thomp-
son, another sister, Tip Top, Emma
Banks, Bluefeld, and Listen Peery
and wife, of Tazewell. These worthy
colored people fully deserve the good
time they had.
Charles has entirely recovered
from injuries received some time
ago when he fell from a seattle. Now
that he is an "old man." he had best
be careful how he climbs trees, scaf-
folds, etc.
Jas. Cousins enjoyed quite an ex-
tensive visit some weeks ago, to
Norfolk, Portsmouth, Petersburg and
Nottaway county. In all these places
he has relatives. His brother in Noto-
way 3 n tobacco farmer, and Cous
ins said was cup against it," owing
to the low price of tobacco, which
was made OH high priced fertilizers
bread and meat and labor. The To.
bacco farmers. he said, were all hold
ing as long as possible for better
prices.
| Chas. Ward had the rabbit foot
trick worked on him a short time
ago, and that, too, by white man
young fellow asked Charles to LEI
him stay all night, and that he wa.
working for Mr.. Leslie, in the New
office. Charles and his wife took hin
in, gave him good supper and tn,
best bed. Next morning the bed an,
room was empty. The bird ha,
flown. Charles inquired at the New
Office, and the laugh was on him. N
such man had been in the office q
all.
II Charles said something that sound
ed like, III be dog -goned," or word
to that effect.
