Sequel to Blue Ridge Tragedy Is Fill
ing of Suit Against Slayer

Papers have been filed with B. /.
Bickers, county clerk of Greene, by
attorneys representing Mrs. Stanton
Deane, giving notice of a suit she
will bring against l.. Gruber Mead
ows for killing her husband. She
will ask $4,000 damages, a sum
which just about covers what Mead
ows is supposed to be worth. The
action will be tried in the Greene
County Circuit Court before Judge
John w. Fishburne, of Charlottes-
VILE
On Monday night, May 10, Mead
ows, a Blue Ridge lumberman, en-
ragged by a fit of jealousy, shot and
instantly killed his wife, aged 30,
and his hired hand, Stanton Deane,
%. at his home on top of Deane's
Mountain, five miles north of SPOTS
wood Monument in Greene County,
and then went to Harrisonburg and
gave himself up to Sheriff C. w.
Dove, after consulting an attorney.

small children alone in the cabin with

The above does not include the
appropriation for overhead expense
pense of $4,000. No deduction is
made for s1,O00.0O0 to be repaid
under the Robertson Act. as under
the law, and as stated by Mr.. Shir-
ley, this additional amount has
already been contracted for during
the year 1925, and the new loans
to the state will balance the pay
ments to be made. There will there
fore be available the above amount
for new road construction purposes
this year.
Your statement is then inaccur-
ate with respect to the fact that the
plan advocated by me only provides
an additional sum of $1,25O,000 for

were present when my address was
delivered to the Good Roads Associ-

amounts will be available for the
years 1926 and 1927 by the addition
of a one-cent gasoline tax and the

Invites President of Good Roads As
ISOLATION to Be Accurate

Senator Harry F. Byrd has ad
dressed the following letter to Johr
w. Chalkley. president of the yir,
ginia Good Roads Association, ask.
ing him to make a public correction
of erroneous figures given out by
Mr.. Chalkley as to road funds.
Richmond. Va, May %. 1925.
Mr.. John w. Chalkley,
President, Virginia Good Roads AS
ISOLATION. Big Stone Gap, Va.
My dear Mr.. Chalkley:
My attention has been called to
your letter addressed to the Bristol
Herald-Courier. in which you take
occasion to criticise the plan an
nounced by me at the Good Roads
Association meeting to provide funds
for the construction of the state
highway system. AS you failed to
attack this plan when presented it
at the meeting of the Good Roads As
sociation in Richmond, 1 am some
what surprised that you should take
OCCASION to do so now. l would not
now reply to your criticism excepting
for the miscellaneous of facts con-
tanned in your letter. In this letter
you say:
You well know that the state
Highway Comission had available
for new road construction in 1925
only $4.S40.000. yet you and Sena-
tor Byrd only proposed to add to that
s1.250,O00 for 1926 and subsequent
years"
When the correct data was avail
able to you from Mr.. Shirley's Office
it is unfortunate that you. as presi-
dent of the Good Roads Association
should again confuse the public with
unofficial figures of your own. Mr..
Shirley has stated publicly in let
ter dated December 20, 1924, that
the following amount would be avail
able for new construction during the
year 1925:

Why Live Elsewhere !?

oh! Come to Wisconsin, to the county of
Grant;
Forever thereafter, it's charms you will
chant.
Where trees give shade with spreading
branch,
And a farm is a farm and not a ranch.
The blue grass grows all over our state
And grows and grows at furious rate.
Many sections, less favored, ask again for
beer
Breathe a charm so rare, others claims
Just pales.
Where the cream is rich, so yellow and
thick
The world studies hard to discover the
trick
The nations at large demand our corn fed
hogs;
While lumbermen fight to get our logs.
Where the rivers are wet instead of dry;
Nature does the irrigating; our boosters
don't lie.
One of the finest sights you may ever see,
Are the pure bred cows on the blue grass
lea
With richest of milk their great udders are
full
But stay out of the pastures, on account of
the bull.
Our vegetables have flavor, apples have
juice;
The trees are unnumbered including the
spruce.
No heat runs you off to the top of a noun
tain;
Perfect water makes of each bubbler a
fountain,

OF the antiquity of checkers there

Corn. oats, rye barley; tobacco. potatoes

With man yother crops, grow all along the

Our climate is the best the world can at
There are changes enough so no one gets
bored.
Our milk feeds your babies your honey
comes from our bees;
Seventy per cent of the nation look to Wis

Don't kid yourself longer wherefore you
But come to Grant county, look it over and
The altitude is not high, nor yet too low;
Nature favors us generously with beautiful
snow.
Our girls are sweet and very pretty, too
Bound to find one near that just suits you;
Their hair is cut short in latest hobs,
Noses well powdered and wear stylish toys.
Our soil is not rocky, but rich in yields;
To prove that for yourself, look over our
fields.
We have "decompoSed granite" or vol

No other soil substitutes; nor claims that
are rash.
In profusion we have every berry tha's
grown,
Anywhere along the whole temperate zone.
