HOW SHALL 1 VOTE?

Editor Clinch Valley News,
Dear Sir: There has never been q
time since have been old enough to
vote, that have given the matter
as much serious thought as / have
to this election on the 7th Of No
vember.
Peery or Hassinger? Now. this is
too serious time to engage in "mud
Singing" Let US be fair and truth
full.
George G. Peery is the son of DR..
Peery, (whom knew well.) DR..
Peery's wife was Miss Spotts (still
living.) George G. Peery married q
daughter of the late A. P. Gillespie,
a leading citizen and prominent
Republican. Mr.. Gillespie married q
Miss Higginbotham. Therefore Geo.
c., Peery is directly and Indirectly
related to the Peerys, Gillespies,
SPOTS and Higginbothams. Now any
one who knows any thing about Taze-
well people, know quite well that no
other four names in Tazewell county
can furnish as splendid lot of people
as the four above, and George c..
Peery from every standpoint ranks
with the best of them.
Now let us be fair. We understand
Mr.. Hassinger is high toned gen.
tleman; but Mr.. Hassinger is not a
Virginian, besides it is n fact that
Mr.. Hassinger is not a speaker, while
on the other hand George G. Peery
is an eloquent speaker and a man of
fine appearance and will command
the respect of any audience We also
know that if Congressman gets
any favors for his district he must
be a good speaker and "scrapper."
Geo. G. Peery can do this, while un-
fortunately Mr.. Hassinger cannot, be-
sides now is the time we want an
able man from the Ninth district.
While 1 am democrat, still have
voted for republicans on several oc-
casions, and / am not ashamed of it,
and feel that | am as good democrat
as some who have never voted for q
republican. say this to shoy that
tried to vote for the best man, and
cannot feel that I could do Justice
to myself and the people of Taze-
well and the Ninth district if I vot-
ed against George c. Peery.
l dare say that there is not one
man out of 500 who ever heard of
Mr.. Hassinger before he was nomi-
mated. Therefore as I am a Virginian
and loyal Tazewellite, I feel that it
is my duty and it is certainly a pleas
urc and privilege to cast my vote
FOR one of Tazewell's most notable
citizens, George G. Peery.
Yours,
A TAZEWELL CITIZEN.

he scanned the files of history in vain
Tor figure to match the colossal
stature Of Woodrow Wilson. but he
did not despair. He recalled the myth
Of being named Atlas, who gropeti
about in the dawn of time with the
world balanced on his mighty shoul-
ders, and he wove him into q beauti-
full word-picture to illustrate tho
greatness of Woodrow Wilson, the
man who had borne "the burden of
the world on his heart" We grant
that Rev. Hill not only knows his
mythology, but also knows how to
put it to good use. But fiction is Rev.
Hills long suit, as we discovered in
denunciation Of Wilson. Unfortunate-
iy Rev. Hill is such an impressive
speaker that the people cannot be-
tween trips forget what he says. On
his first visit he had the Tazewell
people. by the ears. but they have
taken his measure. They like his mu-
sic but they don't liko tho way he
changes the tune.
By the time John Wesley Hill gets
through eulogizing Mr.. Hassinger YOU
will conclude that that retiring and
unaasuming gentleman on his moth
er's side Is lineal descendant of
William W. Shalsspere, and on his
fathers side the philanthropic scion
of an ancestral line which reached
its crest in the person of Pericles.
Whatever else Rev. Hill may have
been or is, he is the paneulogist su-
prone of tho republican party and
the universe at large. His enconium
of Candidate Harding is still ringing
in the ears Of the Ninth district.
Almost rs unit the Negroes of
the ninth district will vote for Mr..
Hassinger. Mr.. Slcmp voted against
the Dyer anti-lynching bill and our
brothers in black chad it in" for the
Congressman, which may have been
the cause of one of his many bodily
ailments in the spring. The Negroes
believe that Mr.. Hassingcr, being II
native of the North country, would
have supported the Dyer bill, and
they are going to vote for him. II
Mr.. Hassinger is indeed ami dos
noirs and in favor of the Dyer bill,
as his colored supporters believe, he
should have the courage of his con-
victions and plainly state his position
on this issue. II he is here Saturday,
he may be given nh opportunity to
say where he stands on legislation IN
which his Negro supporters aro vital
ly concerned.

RIVER BOATS NOT
 TO CONNECT WITH
 GOVERNMENT R. R

E. Volkman, pioneer merchant and steamship man of the interior, for the past several years agent for the White Pass at Tolovana, passed through Juneau on the Northwestern en route to Los Angneles.
 According to MT. Volkman the White Pass and Yukon people will operate two boats on the Yukon this next season to carry silver ore from Mayo to St. Michael. It is estimated that 2,000 or 5000 tons Of ore will be shipped down the Yukon this sum mer. The boats which will be ope, ated will be the Herman and the Al aska. There will be no boats oper- ated by this company on the Tanana River. They lost considerable money last year because most of the freight and passengers for Panama River points were carried by the Govern ment Railroad, and they will not at tempt to compete with the railroad this year.
 It is expected that the shipment of ore from the Mayo district down the Yukon will be only temporary be cause it is planned to extend the White Pass and Yukon railroad from Whitehorse on into the Mayo and Stewart River district. and proba bly, to Dawson. It is believed that the magnitude of the silver deposits in that district will warrant the con struction of tho several hundred miles of railroad.
 MT. Volkman will spend some time in the South looking over prospec- tive investments and will probably return North this summer.
