Misses Anita
GILLESPIE, May BROWN, and the four representatives of Tazewell High School have returned and reported a fine trip to the University of Virginia. In the first round all four of our
representatives were victorious. Mr. Moss PEERY won the boy's reading contest from Big Stone Gap High School; Miss Marie
BAKER won from the Danville High School; while Miss Dorothy HANKINS and Mr. Joseph
GILLESPIE won the debate from the Danville High School. In the second contest, however, we did not fare so well. All had a splendid trip and feel well repaid. Tazewell made an enviable record in the Field Meet at the Fair Grounds last Friday PM. A large crowd was present composed of loyal supporters of the teams from Graham, Pocahontas, Richlands and Tazewell. A fine spirit of good feeling and clean sport was evident through the whole meet. In fact, it was one of the most enjoyable occasions ever held between the schools of the county. A handsome Loving Cup was offered by the Farmers National Bank of Tazewell to the school winning the largest number of points. Messrs. A.S.
GREEVER, A.G. RUSSELL and Dr. MCGUIRE, of Richlands, were judges. Tazewell won the cup with 93 points. Graham came second with 53 points; Richlands followed with 47 points; while Pocahontas finished with 7 points. There were twenty events, with a prize for the first place in each event. Tazewell won 10 first places, Graham 7, Richlands 2, and Pocahontas 1.
The law firm of Greever and Gillespie offered $5.00 in gold to the individual making the largest score. This was won by Robert
MCGRAW of Tazewell. Prizes for first places were offered by the following firms of Tazewell: Fuller Brothers, a pair of oxfords; Kelly Sales Co., $5.00 in gold; J.B.
BOYER, box of candy; Jeff Ward, 2 ties; J.A. GREEVER, Pocket Knife. Firms in the other towns offered the other prizes.
Mr. Clarence TURNER, son of Mr. and Mrs. T.T. TURNER a well known young man of Tazewell, now employed by the Norfolk and Western Railway Company at Keystone, West Virginia and Miss Sallie
HELDRETH, daughter of Mr. J.H. HELDRETH, also of this city, who has for some time in training for a nurse in Richmond, Virginia, were quietly married Sunday, May 16. The ceremony took place in Bristol, Tenn. After the
ceremony they left Bristol for Keystone, West Virginia, where they will make their future home.
