standing heroes of World War II,
young Asa Farmer, son of George
Farmer of Isom. has been report

LITTLE ATTENTION BEING
GIVEN POLITICS BY
CITIZENS OF COUNTY

The present political campaign
remains remarkably quiet here
abouts, in spite of the fact that
a president, vice president and
a member of congress is to
be elected within less than two
weeks. So far there appears to
be little activity by either party
in this county, but both sides
will probably make an effort dur
ing the closing days of the cam
paign to inject enough interest to
bring out the vote election day.
Congressman John w. Flanna-
gan, who is a candidate to sue
coed himself, is advertised to
speak at Clintwood on Oct. 81
at 2 p. m. His opponent, Ralph L.
Lincoln, of Marion, spoke at the
courthouse here some time ago.

Ora Smith Found
Dead at Home
of Sister

Ora Silas Smith, IS, died from
self-inflcted injuries on Thurs
day of this week at the home of
sister, Mrs. Lucy Stanley. on
Smith Ridge.
According to our information,
Mr.. Smith, in poor health for
some time, asked his sister on
Thursday morning to send for
DR.. Phipps at C1intwood; that he
was very sick and had put off
sending for a doctor until it was
too late, and that he would be
dead when the doctor arrived.
Later on in the day. his sister
wanted to 60 to the home of
neighbor but hesitated about
leaving the sick man alone. He
told her to 60 ahead, that he
would be all right. On her re-
turn she found her brother lying
dead on the floor with a shot
gun beside him. He had written
short note to the family, which
read as follows:
"God bless my children, all of
my children. Take my money and
put me away nice.
ORA SMITH"
The butt of the gun had been
placed against the wall and the
trigger pulled with a short stick,
the entire load of shot hitting
him squarely in the heart.
He was son of the late Noah
Smith, one of the first settlers on
what is known as Smith Ridge.
Dependency over his poor
health and worry about a son in
the army are thought to have
caused him to take his life.
He is survived by his wife and
the following sons and daughters:
Mrs, Verba Williams Mrs. Clar-
Gle Mullins, Mrs. Myrtle Flem-
ing and Curtis and Carlos Smith.
Because of the absence of some
of the children it is not known
when the funeral and burial will
be held.
This, it is said, makes the fifth
member of this family who has
taken his own life. Brothers who
passed away in the same manner
were Emory Smith, Alva Smith,
George Smith Josh Smith, and
now, Ora Smith.

BACKWARD
From An Old Scrapbook
THE HALL HANGING

Norton Va, Sept. 3-(SpeciaD
Upon receiving the commission
to report Talt Halls taking off, l
felt disinclned to execute it be-
cause of an aversion to such dis
plays, but the line Of duty said go
and SO Friday morning found me
footing it between Norton and
Wise Court House, distance OF
six miles. I was advised to walk,
and though the way was lone and
steep. the wisdom of trusting to
infantry tactics was quite appar-
ent from the fact that we passed
a coach something over half way
which same coach had started
over an hour ahead of us. AS we
neared the scene of action the
throng began to manifest itself,
and for over half a mile outside
of town we encountered horses,
mules and oxen tied to the bush
es and fences; wagons, buggies
and hacks standing in every va
cant space alongside the road,
with not human being near, the
owners of these animals and We
hicles having gathered at the
sacrificia1 center, to be near. if
not witness the execution of the
great criminal, Talt Hall,
That ruthless man
That chief Of a rebellious clan.
We reached the gate to the jail
yard about 10 o'clock and sent in
our credentials to Captain Bull
lit, of the volunteer guard, who
very soon appeared and cour-
teously informed us that we
would be admitted in time for
the performance; but it was a
long and weary wait until we got
our passes and another wait I'M
til Capt. Bullitt appeared at an
upper window of the Jail and
announced in a clear and manly
voice that the laws of Virginia
provided for private execution;
that it was the desire of the sher
if to admit everyone, but only
the officers of the law, physic-
ians, the relatives of the condemn
ed and that highly privileged
class-the representatives of the
press could be admitted to the
enclosure.
Captain Bullitt then requested
the reporters to gather at the
front gate and await his call, at
the same time announcing that
"Mr. Hall'' would soon appear at
the window to make few re-
marks.
We were admitted to the jail
yard at the close of Capt. Bull
lifts remarks and were drawn up
in line at the right Of the plat
DON of guards which confronted
the window at which the motor
ious prisoner was to appear. The
upper and lower sash had been
removed from the window to af-
ford greater freedom of view for
both the condemned man and the
throng, and soon our waiting was
