Attention, Veterans!
You are requested to be at Taze

come in autos if you have one; if
not, make arrangements with those
who own cars to accommodate you.
Surely there are cars enough in
Tazewell to grant this favor to the
old Veterans. And the owners of the

ticipate in the exercises of the day.
The Daughters are preparing to give
you a splendid reception and to make
this a day worthy of appreciation.
Please remember the hour, 9 a. m.,
fast time, and be here promptly.

HOPKINS BOYS HEAVY LOSERS
IN RADFORD FIRE.
John C. and Robert 'S. Hopkins,
owners of the Hopkins Pharmacy in
Radford, which they recently pur?
chased, suffered a loss of several
thousand dollars in the lire which
swept that town last Monday. The
store building in which the drug store
was located was burned entirely, and
the large stock of drugs and sun?
dries was also consumed. It is said
that the boys will have a complete ne'
loss of $3,000 to $4,000. They had
recently ordered handsome fixtures
for the store, which arrived in Rad?
ford the day before the fire, but hud
not been delivered. The Hopkins
boys are undecided as to future plans.
KI.I.EN WHITLBY SORELY AF?
FLICTED.
Ellen Mary, the young daughter
of Mr. und Mrs. J. W. Whitley, 01
North Tazewell, had her right leg
amputated on Thursday of last week
in a Bluefie'.d Sanitarium. This news
came as a surprise and shock to
many of the little girl's friends and
and to members of her parents' fam?
ily and friends.
For sometime the little girl had
complained of pain in her leg. She
had to stop school and Dr. Witten
was called in ami put on a plaster
cast, (letting no results it was de?
cided to take her to Bluefiold for an
X-Kay examination. The surgeon
found finally that the thigh bone
was fearfully diseased, and that the
only hope was amputation, whlctl was
done promptly on Thursday after?
noon of last week. Late reports of
the little girl's recovery are encour?
aging and barring complications, she
will soon be weil. It isn't easily seen]
where the well known law of compen
sation comes in here, but it is there,
and the afflicted parents and the child
will run across it somewhere on the
jou rnoy.
The sympathies of the entire com?
munity go out to Mr. and Mis. Whit?
ley and Ellen

CLL, VIRGINIA, FRIDAY. MAY
I W. C. T. U. INSTITUTE.
j Wednesday, May 21st, was quite j
an interesting day at Pounding Mill,
because the members of the W. C.
T. I!, gathered with their National
? Organiser, Mis. Emma 11. (lowland,
1 nml bobl an institute. A wann church
decorated with llowcrs and \V. C. T.
U. posters rendered words of wel?
come to tin- visitors from nearby
unions unnecessary.
Mrs. W. i'.. O'Brien, county W. C.
T. U. president, was in the chair.
M.s. W. B. F. White, of Itichlands,
read the 16th chapter of St. John,
i am) made some earnest comments,
j Mrs. 1 lowland led in prayer.
Airs. Ilowland was then introduced
, and extended u brie (but interesting
greeting, sketching with telling ef?
fect the important lines of W. C. T.
II. work. She is from Hosten, ami
has traveled and organized in several
foreign countries as well as many
States in the Union. She is a line
speaker. On the evening before the
institute she made a splendid address
at Pounding Mill, secured a numbei
of new members, and created quiu
an increns of interest in the work.
The large attendance of women and
children at the institute was due in
?j;eat part to her presence, and t<>
I ii.e very successful public meeting
'of t'ae evening before.
1 lining the forenoon, there were
I lively open discusions. First, building ,
I up the local union; second, the stand?
ard of excellence; third. Should local
dues be increased to one dollar and (
made to include Cue stale paper.
Several of the ladies made pointed
I short talks on these subjects, ami
j Mrs. (lowlands' remarks in every case
i were full of interest and instruction. ,
j Every speaker on the third quest ion ,
i favored an increase of dues.
I The congregation joined with Mrs. ,
|W. H. Greear in noontide prayer. .10 |
I minutes were then spent in an open ,
I discussion of the subject, The Do- |
Apartments: why and why? Many
good points were brought out, as the
I ladies considered a few of the fort)
I departments of the work. Lack of
I leaders to become superintendents of
'departments and push the work was
the keynote of the tulks of the local
presidents.
I I
After u delightful lunch, the af- t
tcrnoon session opened with volun?
tary prayers and these were follow- .
ed by America sweetly sung by the
Pounding Mill I,. T. L.'s, in which
there are about forty members. I
Mrs. Julia Williams read a touch- .
big selection, "Why She Belonged," f
and tow new members were secured,
and several L. T. L. members.
A duet, "Some Glad Day," was
well rendered by Mrs. Smith and
Miss Christian.
Mrs. W. B. F. White rend n strong |
paper on National Constitutional t
Prohibition: When und How Obtain- t
ed? She brought out the early work
of the W. C. T. U., showed how it is ,
the mother of all the other Temper- f
ancc organizations and touched on t
the various steps by which we have i
reacehd our goal. ,
The Jubilee Campaign was next v
taken up. Mrs. Charles Robinctt j
read a selection on this subject. A y
number of ladies joined in the dis- t
cussion of plans for raising Taxe- /
well County's quota. A substantial i
offering was taken for the fund. g
Mrs. W. B. Greear made a talk on
the subject, "Our Children. Wliat L
Can We Do For them?" t
After the congregation had sung, i
"God Be With You 'Till We Meet j
Again," the benediction was pro?
nounced by the Rev. G. W. Thomas.
Then the L. T. L. and W. C. T. U.
members formed in lino and with
banners marched through the town
singing, "We Are Out For Prohibi?

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAL?
VATION ARMY DRIVE.
As to who was responsible for put?
ting on tho Salvation Army drive and
fixing the date, etc., tho chairman
wired Mr. E. Lee Trinklc, district
chairman yesterday for information.
His telegram in reply says: "My un?
derstanding government li.xod dato
months ago. Drivo originated by
friends of the army." Signed, E. Lee
Trink 1c.
The nbove is published to show
that the Salvation Army, as an or?
ganization, had nothing to do with
fixing the date of the drive or with
the drive itself, and is not open to
the charge mildly insinuated, of but?
ting in, when it should have waited
for a more opportune time when the
field should be clear.
