OF
All
Things!
OLD LIST OF ROAD
LOTTERY FOUND
BY JESS SKEEN

Jess Woodrum Skeen, who is a
good collector OF old, odd and
strange things, recently found
something older than anything he
has located heretofore. 1t is list
of the drawings for the Virginia
road lottery at Charlestown, JET
ferson County (now West Virgin
ia) of July 81, 1881.
Jess found this rare old paper
among his grandfather's effects
at Pearisburg sometime ago.
This lottery was made up of
$1,000 tickets, to be drawn at
White Sulphur Springs, August
II, 1881. The managers were
Stevenson and Points of Staunton,
Va. The papers appear to have
been sent to Giles County by Will
liam Watts, who must have been
interested in the move
The proceeds to be !, realized
from the sale of the lottery tick
cts was intended for road building
in Virginia. Each person taking a
chance" paid in $3.50 and drew
a ticket. A grand prize of $4,000
(ten thousand dollars) was prom
ised the one drawing certain
ticket. This was more than thirty
years before the territory embrac
ing the State of West Virginia
was struck off from Virginia.
There is no record as to wheth
er the lottery scheme was sue
cess or not.

MILLS plays THE DEVIL"
OVER ON BEAR PEN,
THEY SAY

If you happened to meet
with someone from Bearpen or
Pound River Monday, he or she
was likely to say: "Well, Johnnie
Mills played the devil, didn't he "
Upon inquiry you would be told
that on Saturday evening john
ME, who until that time was a
tenant in a small frame house
belonging to Jeff Mullins ON Bear
Pen, got roaring drunk, set fire
to the house and with a drawn
shotgun defied anyone, even the
owner of the building, to try to
stop the fire. Within a short time
the house had burned to the
ground and along with it all of
Johnnie's household goods ex-
cept one suit of his clothing.
Jeff Mullins says that he and
his wife had to stand by helpless
and see their property burned,
since they did not dare risk dis
obeying orders of Johnnie to keep
hands off. Now Jeff says that he
will let the law take its course.
Sheriff Fleming arrested Mills
soon after the burning and he was
committed to Jail.
Mills is son of the late Buddy
Mills and was raised in the Bear
Pen country. He is married and
has one child.

CLINTWOOD CINCHES
CELLAR POSITION
By CLAUDE SHORT

Clintwood dropped two games
over the past weekend. The flrst
game was here Saturday night un
der the lights, with the cellar
contender, Dixiana. 1t seemed
that none of the Clintwood play
ers could hold the ball when hit
in their direction, nor let it loose
when finally run down. 1t was by
far the most depressing game the
local fans have yet witnessed.
But we ask the fans to not yet
give up up, as there will be sew
eral very important changes in
the lineup, so that we shall sure
ly gain in hitting and fielding and
we still say that we're going to
win the bigger part of our future
ball games.
A few details of the Saturday
night game Though would like
to spare them) are: that the Old
Master, Claude Fuller, started on
the mound for the locals, but
gave way in the fourth frame.
due to shady backing on the part
of the fielders, and our old team
mate, Habe Hammons, came in to
do the relief pitching. But to no
avail. The damage was already
done, and nothing that Hammons
offered could keep the strong
waving bats of Dixiana from con-
Meeting with solid base knocks.
In all, some thirty clean base hits
were credited to the Dixiana club
that counted for 10 runs Cat the
last account I had) while the
Clintwood boys were making only
two runs on seven hits. Manager
Steele admitted defeat in the 18th
inning and the game was called,
as a soothing shower began to
fall
On Sunday, after a half days
search for ball players around
town, a makeshift team was fin
ally herded in, with only one reg
ular player in his position, the
boys journeyed over to Dixiana
for the return game-and per-
haps one of the best games of the
season thus far was played. Error
less ball was played in the field,
as the Old Master, Claude Fuller,
set them down in order, allowing
only Z hits in the game, netting 2
runs. Steele, Messer, D. Suther-
land and Killen got the four hits
for Clintwood, which tailed the
single run for Clintwood.
Jack Hamilton started on first
base for Clintwood, and after get
ting on base, had to leave the
game because of illness. Messer
took his place and finished the
game
A Correction (if you please):
Last week we stated that only
three spectators made the trip to
Keokee. Elder P Sherman Null
ms reminded us of the error of
this statement and said that he
definitely counted three other
Clintwood people sitting on the
side1ines. Mullins sat under near
by shade tree and watched the
game, as he said the sun was bear
ing down too hot to get any clos
er, that is for man of his age
and many ailments.
This Saturday Clintwood goes
to Benham, and here Sunday.
Then doubleheader July 4th at
Dorchester.
Thanks to Toby Mullins for
building the badly needed back
stop at the fair grounds. Besides
the labor, Toby also donated the
materials to do the job.
