Position of Game Question.
Sea -- Market huntingNatural resources -- Conservation - GameTransportation -- Road - Maintenance
My position on the Game Question having been misunderstood or misrepresented I take this method of stating it.
I favor the shipping by residents of game killed in the day time with a gun shot from the shoulder. I am opposed to trapping, lighting and shooting with guns that cannot be shot from the shoulder.
If elected I propose to give the road question most careful consideration and study and will endeavor to have the best possible roads obtainable at present rate of taxation, and shall enter upon the discharge of my duties without pledges to any one with the desire to do what I conceive to be right, and for the best interests of the people.
Respectfully,
Thos. W. Blackstone.
Notice to Farmers.
Forests -- Barrel factories Forests -- Forest products - Barrels
There has been lots of talk about barrels and probably no more than there should have been to get good barrels and the right size barrels. In my add sometime ago I told you, I believed my latest improved barrel was the best barrel on the market. Below I will show you what others say about it. I got Mr. Burton to give me a list of the people who objected to my barrel and I have shipped them some of them and am glad to say that everyone of them have been highly pleased with it. I will quote you one letter out of the large lot I have, of which all are about the same.
Chicago, June 10, 1907.
Mr. John W. Taylor,
Hallwood, Va.
Yours of the 5th received and contents noted. The barrel also came through all right and we are well pleased with it. If you make as good a barrel as this for potatoes we will gladly recommend them and when the season opens up we will instruct people that are shipping to us to use this barrel, if possible. Will also write to Mr. Burton in regard to this. We have the barrel on show here and have shown it to several dealers here and they all seem to like it. It is certainly the best barrel we have ever seen.
Very truly yours,
T. E. Nellis & Co.
I am at this time crowded with orders but let your orders come in I will give you the best attention possible.
John W. Taylor,
Hallwood, Va.
