GRUMPY TO HAVE COM
MERCIAL SCHOOL
Long-Felt Need Met

The Mountain Industrial In
stitute of Grundy, Virginia
will teach the full commercial
course, beginning September H.
Shorthand, typewriting, COM
mercial English and arithmetic,
bookkeeping and banking will
be taught in connection with
the regular high school work.
One of the greatest needs of
this mountain section is being
met by the organization of the
Commercial Department at the
M. |. |. This will enable boys
and girls, who have business
aspirations to obtain a full bus
mess course at a very low cost,
and after completing the course
they will be qualified to fill any
stenographic or office position.
On the eve of the develop
ment of Buchanan County by
railroads and coal operations,
our mountain boys and girls
ought to qualify themselves for
the many stenographic and OF
her clerical positions, which
will be offered in the next few
years.
Those who desire to enter
this Institution and receive the
benefit of the business course
should make application al
once.

POLICEMAN WOUNDED IN
ARRAY AT COEBURN
AssaiIant Escapes and Is At
Liberty

Reports from Coeburn state
that the condition Of Officer
Davis, who was shot last We'd
nesday by Charles Duncan,
while serious, is not dangerous,
and that the wounded officer
has a fair chance to recover.
Also it is stated that Duncan
has not yet been found.
Accounts of the shooting re-
ceived are meagre. It is said
that Davis, attempting to ar
rest Duncan on a charge the eX-
act nature Of which is not
known, fired two shots at him,
The first shot went through the
front of Duncan's car, and the
second struck Duncan in the
right shoulder. In retaliation
Duncan returned the fire, it is
said, a bullet from his pistol, a
22-caliber gun, striking the Of
ficer in the left side of the
chest, barely missing the heart.
Duncan was shot with a .44-cal-
iber ball.
After the shooting Duncan
fled, abandoning his car, and
has not been seen since. Officers
from Coeburn were in DUNCAN
non this week in search of him.
Davis, a one-legged 4 man,
known as peg" Davis has been
and officer at Coeburn for sever
al years.
Duncan, a man of about %,
makes his home at Starnes. For
the past week he had been con-
Quoting a sale for a store at
Dungannon, and is said to have
been in Coeburn on business for
the sale when he had the alter
cation with the officer which
resulted in both being wound
ed.
The shooting took place on a
highway near Bondtown, about
three miles from Coeburn.

MANY ATTEND FAIR

With ideal weather condlt-
ions prevailing on last Satur-
Law, the last day of the Fair,
large crowd was in attendance,
though not as large as previous
Years. but considering weather
conditions the first part of the
week and that the Wise County
eair being conducted on the
same date, the crowd was all
that could be expected.
Tvcrything went off very
quietly and everybody seemed
to enjoy themselves very much
A great deal of interest was
Displayed by those Interested IN
and connected with the horse
racine. Mr.. Colley won first
prize in the race on Saturday,
There was a fairly good ex,
hibit of farm products as vel
as Of canned fruits and vege-
tables.

LICENSE PLATES NOW
MADE BY STATE
Distributed In Trucks

Richmond, Va, Sept. g. The
Division of Motor Vehicles, in
cooperation with the Depart
ment OF Highways and the pen
itentiary, is now having license
plates for 1929 manufactured
at the State Prison, thereby eff
fecting an estimated saving for
the first year of one-third the
previous cost, or about $4,000.
During the year 1927, the
first year the plates were dis
tributed over the State these
were shipped first to Richmond
where they were stored in a
bonded warehouse. In 1928, the
second year of =. statewide dis
tribution, the plates were ship
ped direct from the factory to
the branch distributing points,
the cars having been loaded to
freak bulk.
One car was shipped to Nor
folk, from which point the tags
were distributed, a second car
to Staunton,- the tags being
likewise redistributed from
that point, a third car went to
Radford, a fourth to Lynch
burg, a fifth and sixth to Rich
o1ond seventh to Alexandria,
and an eighth to Richmond.
For the year 1929 the bulk of
the tags will be shipped direct
from the Penitentiary by truck
to such points in the State as
can easily be reached, say, with
in a radius Of 200 miles.
The Department will distri-
butte in round figures 100000
tags to the several branch de-
pots. The tags, weighing about
one and one-half pounds to the
pair, would fill from eight to
nine freight ears. 1t is contem-
plated, however, to distribute
by truck, which will require at
least forty loads of six tons
each.
The tags for 1929, besides
being manufactured at a con-
siderably reduced cost, will be
found of much better quality.
The colors of 1929 will be an
orange background with black
lettering and figures, revers-
al of the color scheme for 1928.

ADVERTISING

In spite of the fact that bus
ness firms spend enormous
sums of money for newspaper
ADVERTISING, and continue to do
t year in and year out, publish
9rs of newspapers frequently
lear in smaller communities,
hat advertising does not pay.
t is true that much OF 1t does
lot but the fault does not lie
With the newspapers as rule.
newspaper is not a retailer IN
arious commodities and cannot
ell the goods advertised by
theirs. The function OF the
ewspaper is to carry the mes
age of the seller to the buyer.
he price, general policy of the
dvertising, and the advertls-
ng appeal must be the product
# the seller. Moreover, it is
.ecessary for the seller to edu-
ate thebuying public to his
dvertising investment, and
his can only be done by the
low process of continuously
alking about his wares.
Successful merchants 90 not
hesitate to testify to the value
# newspaper advertising. Re,
emily in Portland, while attend
NO a convention, C. G. Jenn-
ngs. successful hardware deal
n of Tacoma, said that news
papers are far above any other
media for advertising. He re-
viewed his five years eXperlen-
e with newspaper advertising
N Tacoma, and said: Il learned
my lesson from department.
ores and that lesson is to ad-
vertise and advertise constant
v. A splurge now and then is
Elective, but the results OF con-
lant advertising are accumul-
tive and most effective. | adj
srtise specials if | have them
but if | haven't, | advertise
anyway. I can speak to $4,000
,oreons for S25, and | believe
= 10 we'll worth it.

The FARMERS FAIR

Another Fair week has just
Another Faor week has just
ended. We feel as though it was
a success in spite of the bad
weather, and that it came at an
early date of the year. 1t is
hoped that the ones that
brought exhibits to. the Fair
were we'll pleased with their
prizes. I would like to say at
this point that there were some
good exhibits, and sonic were
not so good. However the ones
that were not so good could
have been improved if they
were fixed up in an attractive
way.
Let me make a plea to the
ones who exhibit another year
to follow the catalogue careful
ly. In many cases there were
entries that had to be thrown
out, due to the fact that they
were not entered as the catal-
ogue specified. Let's be careful
about a little matter like that
1t is only a small matter to
read the catalogue and do the
work right. We can avoid many
mistakes of that kind. For eX-
ample: There were several
plates of apples that had six ap-
pies for a plate and some that
had seven. The catalogue cal
led for five as a plate. | know
everyone will give their sup
port in trying to be more care
full another year.
We are proud to say that the
agriculture boys done their bit
to see the Fair go over. The
ones who won prizes at the
Fair this year are as follows:
John Skeen, First on best ten
ears white corn, single ear OF
corn, best peck sweet potatoes,
md second, on, irish potatoes.
Trimming Fleming: First, best
Jersey COW, and second on corn.
Weldon Vanover: First, rye and
heifer. Bob Prlode: second,
chickens. Everett Mullins: first,
onions, second, corn. Woodrow
Strouth: First, Mountain Boom
ar anDles. second on farm eX-
hibit.
Thank each and every one OF
the boys for their good work,
both with the Fair and the at
hletic stand. Hope that we car
do better another year.
Football
know every body in inter
ested in football this session
and are wondering how we came
lout with our stand at the Fair
grounds. In spite of the bad
weather we took in approxim-
ately $500 clear money This
money will go towards buying
some new uniforms to equip
the team, thereby making e.
though for two teams.
