MUCH MORE THAN
WAS ASKED FOR
Pocahontas Swell Salvation Ar?
my Fund to More Than $3000.
List of Contributors and the
Amounts Contributed.
The Salvation Army collection has
gone more than a thousand dollars
over the top. Just how much over
cannot be definitely staled at this
time. The treasurer, Mr. W. T. Gil
lespie, reports cash in bank $2,124.0(5.
The colector at Pocahontas reports
$807.89. W. B. Burton, Colector at
Boissevain, reports, $65.89. Mr. C.
B. Neel, Red Ash, $50.00. Making a
total when all returns are in, of $3,
047.84. Our quota was $2,000.00 so,
we have over our quota $1,047.84.
There are several other small gifts
expected. For instance, no report has
come from Mr. McCall, at Raven, or
from Mr. J. S. Horton, in the Coal
dan neighborhoods.
A full and complete statement will
be made in the next issue.
As only ubout $50.00 is lacking to
put us over the top an even $1100.00
it is hoped to reach this amount from
town and communities not heard from
as yet.
Following is a list, of the sub?

ner Served Soldiers.
Confederate Memorial Day lexer
cisca were attended Tuesday by a'
good sized crowd. There were about
sixty veterans present. The exercises'
begun by n visit to the cemetery at
10 o'clock in the morning, where Die
graves of the confederate dead were
decorated. After the impresivc cere
mony at the cemetery, the veterans
were brought back to own und lis?
tened to the address of Colonel Mur?
ray, which was delivered in the pic
ure show.
Major Jas. P. Whitman, Command?
er of the Browne-IIarman Camp of
Confederate Veterans of Tazewell,
bad Dropared an address for the oc?
casion, but owing to a lack of time
the address was not doliverc.l, and
will be kept for another occasion. I
Major Whitman could write ceveral:
books on incidents of the civil war!
in which he was porsonnll interest?
ed. He could tell tho history of the
Yankee Lieutenant who was sent to
Tazewell after the surrender to take'
charge of things, and act as a pro- j
vost guard, and what became of this
Lieutenant, and why he left the conn- ]
try without .vremony. Major Whit?
man could also tell of the famous
ride from Burke'a Garden to Taze-'
well, after he had escaped from the1
Yankee olftcers who had arrested
him and were on the way to Wythe
ville, where he would have been tried.
This brave Tazewell soldier played
great part in these memorable
days. I
The Ladies Fine Dinner.
The ladies of the Tazewell Chap-'
ter of tlie Daughters of the Con- '
fedcracy under the management of.
their {'resident, Miss Lydc Tynes, j
provided a fine dinner fur the Fx-1
Confederates, which was served in
the Masonic dining hall. The dinner.
was elegant and was much appre- '
ciated and enjoyed by the men. '
Tho meeting of the Browne-Har-1
man Camp of Tazewell was attended 1
by about sixty Confederate Veterans,
in charge of Commandant J. F. Whit?
man. The address was delivered by |
Major Odgen Murrey of Charleston, 1
W. Va. You Will find a brief sketch
in manuscript by him which 1 hand
you. The crowd and audinecc attend- \
Lng the exercises was orderly. The
address by Major Murrey was on the |
life und services of President Davis,
President of the Confederacy, deal- I
ing with his services as a soldier in '
the Federal army prior to the war |
and of the acts while president of
the Confederacy.
Major Murrey's addrosg was one
devoid all together of prejudice of
any kind, but 0 fervent address as to i
the services, faithfulness and cou- j
rage of President Davis while at tho
head of the Confederacy. The ad- 1
dress was written and contains very
valuable historical facts.
Major Murrey while in Tazewell
was the guest of his old comrade,
Captain J. D. Greever, of Burke's
Garden, who was with Major Murry
on the ship that carried the Immortal
Si:; Hundred along the Atlantic
coast to Charleston, S. C, and was
introduced in a very eloquent manner
by Mr. Ed. Greever, a son of Cap?
tain J. D. Greever.
Major Murry, wns born in Va.,
was living in St. Louis Mo. when the
war broke out. In 1801 he came to
Virginia and joined the array, serv?
ed four years, was wounded and
captuied twice.
He was sent nlong with the GOO
Confederate prisoners of war, to
Morris Island, S. C, where the pris
oners were under fire fourty-two
days by Confederate guns.
From Morris Island he was sent
to Fort Pulaski, in Georgia, after-1
wards to Fort Deleware, where ho
remained until August 1865. Capt. I

CHILD HORN IN OPEN FIELD.
A remarkable case of the birth of
a child In the open field near the
home of Mr. Robert. Wells on Blue
stone was brought to town Tuesday
by visitors from that section. Mrs.
George Cox, a young woman, said to
live in Taxewell, and also said to have
bei n deserted by her husband, wdio
lives in Rluefield, passed through the
Bluestons neighborhood Saturday
traveling west. Sunday morning she
was discovered in an open field by a
passerby. An investigation proved
that the baby had been born during
the night, with only the guardian
angels and the heaven above as wit?
nesses. Mrs. Cox hndperformed her?
self with the aid of two rocks the
nc.CSsary surgical operation. An
apron which she wns wearing was
used to wrap the baby in. The case
is a pit fid one indeed. It is reported
that she had been run away from the
place she called home, and had appli?
ed at other places for shelter, but
her condition was such that none
cared to entertain her.
Mrs. Cox and her child were taken
to a neighbors, where they are being
cared for. It is reported that the at?
tention of the Commonwealth's At?
torney will be called to the case, and
an effort made to prosecute Cox for
non-support.

THANKS AND CONGRAT?
ULATIONS.
The Chairman of the County Sal?
vation Army Home Service Fund,?
wishes on his own account, and also
on behalf of the Salvation Army, to
thank most heartily, the men and
women who made the fine success
possible and a fact. The Clinch Valley
News Office gave about two weeks
time and work gladly, to advertising
and organizing the force of workers
etc. Of this work the Chairman hn.->
done only a small part. The officers
get praise often due the fighting
men in the ranks. However, there is
glory enough for all. The names of
the workers and subscribers have
been published in this paper.
The task wub a pleasant one.
Everybody who gave would like to
have given more. They gave what
they wanted to give, were not
stressed of pressed beyond what they
though right to contribute. A great
man said to his workers, as recorded
in an old book; "Every man accord?
ing ns he purposcth in his henrt, so
let him give; not grudgingly, or of
necessity, for God loveth a cheerful
giver." This is the only kind og giv?
ing that benefits, enlarges and
blesses the giver.
Again, thanking most heartily one

PACTS
People Need To Know Concerning
The Children's Home Society of
Virginia.
Ten thousand of Virginia's little
children, many of them belonging
to our soldiers und sailors, are in
Unfortunate conditions, and need
homing.
The Society was chartered by the
Virginia Legislature in HUM).
The Socinetl receives no aid from
the SUite. It is supported entirely
by voluntary offerings.
The work is inter-denomiuational,
and is worthy of tho aid of every per?
son.
Who would not help to save a
helpless, innocent child'.'
The work of Ibis Society is supple?
mentary to the woik of our Orphan?
ages and other Children's Institut?
ions. The work does not conflict.
In round numbers, Twenty Fivo
Hundred (2600) little children have
been gathered up, aided or homed.
Last year, ending May 1st, 1010,
one Thousand , Six Hundred and
Forty, '1,040) were aided, handled or
homed in one year.
The recent epidemic of influenza
is sending hundreds of motherless or
fatherless little ones to our doors.
This is u plea lo you to help. The
cause is in the name of the ONF,
wdio said, "Suffer the little children
lo come unto MF."
Christian homes are found for
these children.
The Society has now over fourtcil
hundred wards (MOD) who belong
to it legally.
DISTILLERY IS FOUND IN HEART
OF GRAHAM.
A report comes from Graham that
a moonshine still located in the heart
of thai town was captured last. Sun?
day by officer IL H. Kusenbaum, of
Graham. The still has been brought
to Tazewell and will he added to the
collection at. the Court House. The
following light on the capture of the
still is taken from the Telegraph of
Tuesday morning:
"The still was located in the attic
of u manufacturing plant, where it
is thought to have been in operation
for several weeks, probably a month
or longer. No suspicion whatever at?
taches to those having in charge the
business of the concern where the
still was found, but it is said that the
still was established and operated by
former employees of the place, who
hnve since been discharged.
"The still was located on evidence
obtained by Chief of Police II. K. Kus?
enbaum, who captured it and yester?
day took the still lo Tazewell and
turned it over to George McCall, Unit?
ed Stales commissioner, together with
a complete report of the incident,
Federal warrants have been obtained
nndarests are expected to follow, pro?
viding those guilty of operating the
plant have not skipped the country
"The still was in fine working order
and the apparatus consisted of a cop?
per boiler that would hold about fifty
gallons. The necessary worm was
nlso copper and the till was built
into a large brick flue in the attic
of the building. Only corn whiskey
is understood to have been manufac?
tured, but this brand of fire water is
said to have been in evidence for sev
eral days, and no doubt this too-free
imbiding is what led to the capture of
the plant.
"Local officers have reason to be?
lieve that this is the same still that
operated under the north of East
River Mountain last spring, and that
is wus being operated by the same
people.
"The board of sunervisors of Tnzc
well county have offered a reward ol
fifty dollars for the capture of moon
shine still and Mr. Kosenbaum wil
claim his reward, he said yesterday
