In spite of the fact that five bid
ders were up and ready to say hello,
the Bristol -Meigs Telephone COM
pany rejected all bids, and are ad-
vertising for more bids. With some
going to Neelyville and some not
having the money to pay switch
fees, and some refusing to pay, it
looks as though it will be an easy
job to operate the board next term.
Several of the students OF M. &
M. from Bristol were on the sick
list last week, and out of school,
A Run On the Banks
The drop in temperature caused a
run on the coal banks. They with
stood the run and are ready for an
other. Farmers are burning more
wood than for many years. With
no work, they have plenty of time
to cut wood, and in so doing are
clearing the land.

dog.
Dogs made a raid on the sheep Of
J. Howard Bird, Thursday of last
week The report of the appraisers
is as follows: Killed, Is; wounded,
20. Some of these sheep were pure
bred. 1t Is said that one of the
dogs was a hound, with tag show
ing it was from Roxbury. The son
Howard caught the hound, but in
trying to, get something to kill it
with, it got away. We are Informed
that it is thought there were three
dogs in the slaughter.
We are glad to know our county
commissioners are trying to work
out a plan whereby the unemployed
of the county May be employed
quarrying stone.
Earl Wilson, Valley school bus
driver, and his substitute, Robert
Wilson, were off the job with flu
and Stanley Radcliff started to fill
the vacancy when he had to turn it
over to his brother Frederick, while
he is housed up with tonsilitis.
We spent short time with G. p
Roberts, Friday, Feb. 10, which
was his 86th birthday. If we want
ed to enlarge on this we wouldn't
know where to go, as we couldn't
say aged, as he never seems that
way. While we might use the terms
illustrious, esteemed, and severa
more such, none of them would GOV.
er the case, as he acts and talks
like a man in the prime of life. Sc
we feel that all that we can say
and do in his honor at this time, is
to say that we depended on him fol
information and instruction SO long
/ that we will never realize what he
means to us until some day when We
need him and---.
Tom Pierce and family have NOV.
ed from our village to GAINESVILLE
His mother, Mrs. Emma Pierce
moved to GAINESVILLE some time ago
thus leaving two vacant houses and
cutting our population nine, leaving
the population at %, living in 10
houses.
The cold wave cut the attendance
at the literary Saturday evening, to
a capacity house Mr.. and Mrs.
Doudna furnished some fine music
on the bells and piano, and now we
want to say we are glad for those
outside the neighborhood who help
and we are doubly glad for the won
derful talent right at home. If you
haven't heard the Carnes and EN-
bree company, you have missed
something worth while. Many COM
panies not near so good are touring
the country. Saturday evening,
Feb. 25.
