TazewelI Boys who Were at Santiago.

Messrs. Charles Moore and Buse Moore,
who were born and raised near Tip Top,
in this county, enlisted in the 9Th U. S. In
fantry in 1895. then stationed at Fort
Thomas, KY. These young men remained
in the service until the 11th oflast month,
when they were discharged at sea, en- route
from Cuba to this country, their three
wears term of service having expired.
Their regiment was with Shafter at Santa
90 and they were participants in the splen-
did campaign and glorious battles fought
bv our soldiers there. They arrived at
Montauk Point on the 14th Of August, land
got back to Tazewell about the first of this
month.
On Monday Mr.. Charles Moore called
at our Office, and we found him very in
telligent young man and splendid looking
soldier. He said the men IN the ranks
we're cared for as well as it was possible
under the circumstances, at Santiago and
that he could see no reason for the com
plants that are being made about bad
treatment-that there had been gross ex
aggerations. -,
Both of the young men suffered wlsf
malaria while in Cuba but escaped the vel
low fever. We are glad they got bach
home safe and well.

The Passing Of a Beautiful Life.

This is the tribute Of friend who feels
deeply the influence of the noble Chris
tian young woman whose remains were
buried in the new cemetery last Sunday
afternoon.
Miss Nannie,Tynes was greatly admired
by all who casually knew her, but only to
those who had known her long and init
mately were revealed the superbly fine
and heroic qualities of her character; and
even these friends who felt that they APP
preciated fully the worth Of her works
and faith, who had watched her grow in
intellectual and spiritual beauty until
"every thought broke forth rose," were
unprepared for the super-glorious revela-
tions of the last hours Of her life. She
was three days passing through the valley
and shadow, her mind unclouded, con-
scous that the end was very near. Her
physicians say that during this time she
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1898-09-22

suffered unspeakable pain, but with mar
yelous self control she endured it without
murmur of complaint. For all who
came to see her she had memorable words,
and she left many messages of love and
interest for those of her friends who could
not again see her here.
The watchers at the bedside have tried
to tell of the heroism and triumph
of this soul as it thus hovered between
two worlds, "lke star on the horizons
edge" But others cannot understand.
How much there was in her life to adj
mlre How delightful and instructive to
converse with her! She loved the bible
above all books, but she had an extensiy e
and ready knowledge Of English poetry and
history. She was q beautiful reader, an
intelligent interpreter of all things good
in verse and prose. In her home parlor
four years ago she read some magazine
stories for me and while she was reading
her spirit breathed such rare gracousness
and sweetness as to compel the devotion
that love pays to Christian magnetism.
Who if her friends can forget the in
describeble smile that played in her eyes
and about her lips when she was in con-
versation? Those who were with her at the
last say that in the moment of death a
smile Of angelic radiance and sweetness,
such one as might light the face of an
angel dreaming of a lost paradise, beamed
on her countenance and fingered there
lovingly after the spirit had flown.
Whom did she see? Her words were, in
a clear excited voice, "the Savior! Oh,
the Savior!" Surely her faith, always go
strong, SO separate from fears, was mirac-
ulously rewarded, and, unseen by other
eyes, the Pilot came to meet her face to
face while she was crossing the bar
0, beautiful crowned spirit!
The great Inteligences fair,
That range above our mortal state,
In circle round the blessed gate,
Received and gave thee welcome there.

Miss Mamie Tynes Passes Away

One of the saddest deaths that has oc-
Cured in this community since our resi-
dence here was that of Miss Mamie Tynes,
who died at the home of her father, Capt.
A. ]. Tynes, three miles east of town, on
last Saturday afternoon. She had been
sick for only about two weeks with the
fever, but few days before her death Sc
rlous symptoms were shownin her case and
her friends became very apprehensive as
to the results. She had for several weeks
prior to her illness been tenderly and con-
stantly assisting in nursing her brother
and sister who had the fever.
We have never met lady whose fine
womanly character more deeply impressed
us than did Miss Tynes. She was esteemed
bv all who knew her and tenderly loved
by those who were intimately associated
with her. She was dutiful daughter, af-
fectionate sister and devoted Christian,
and she will be greatly missed in the do
mestic, social and church circles.
At the age of sixteen years she united
with the Presbyterian church at this place
and has been one of the most faithful
among the church workers. In the Sum
day school and in the choir she will be
sadly missed, as she was fine teacher and
had a splendid soprano voice.
On Sunday afternoon at four O'Clock
funeral services were held in the Presby-
terian church at this place, conducted by
Rev. w. w. Ruff, the pastor, who was as
sisted by Rev. NJ. w. Doggett, former pas
tor of the church, and Rev. w. II. Kelly,
who was near neighbor of the deceased.
The church was crowded with friends and
acquaintance who had attended the SOL
emn gathering to testify to the esteem and
love which they held for the departed one.
At the conclusion of the services the re-
mains we're taken to the new cemetery,
followed by one of the largest funeral pro-
cessions we have ever seen in Tazewell land
laid to rest.

RHEA AT TAZEWELL.
He Makes His Great Grafton and
Distributes his Buttons.

The Democratic candidate for Congress
spoke at the court house last Tuesday, to
what is claimed to have been the largest
and most enthusiastic audience that has
greeted any speaker here for years. Those
who make such a claim must not have
been present when Gen. Walker spoke at
August court, or they would not assert
such thing, unless they were lacking in
judgement or blind partisans. The fact
is that we are informed by reputable gen.
tlemen, who made estimates of both
crowds, that Yost had as large crowd at
the hall as Rhea had at the court house;
and that there we're more people on the
streets when the speaking was going on
than were listeners to either of the
speakers.
Of course we did not hear Rhea's speech
as we were listening to the able address of
Hon. Jacob Yost, who discussed the re-
cords of the parties and the issues of the
day in a statesmanlike manner.
We are informed by gentlemen who
heard Rhea that he devoted most of his
time 10 discussion Of Gen. Walkers re-
cord and in foolish effort to show that
the war revenue bill is oppressive to the
poor men of the country. After showing
his dense ignorance of the provisions of
that bill, as he did at Lebanon, we are
astonished at his recklessness in contlnu-
ing to discuss it. He still remains incapa-
bic of comprehending its merits or he
thinks he can fool people by perverting its
meaning and operation.
We hoped he would make public the
statement that Gen. Payne has recently
sent him about the incident that occurred
with Rhea at the time Martin defeated
Fitz Lee for the Senate. We are told,
however, that Rhea privately declared that
the statement prepared by Gen. Payne
had not yet reached him. A curious pub
lie will be anxious to see that statement in
print.
If Rhea succeeded in arousing any en-
thusiasm we failed to see any indications
of it afterwards. He was applauded by
the truly faithful when he uttered his clap
trap about Walker, he got some additions
to the wagon load Of flowers that fair ad-
mirers had already heaped upon him; ne
distributed buttons with his strikingly
distinguished phiz on them, but in Novem-
Der Tazewell will help TO bury him in his
political grave, that should be decorated
with the faded flowers he is now receiving
and a monument of brass in the shape of
a button.
When Judge Rhea came to Tazewell a
few weeks ago his party friends failed to
meet Lin at the station. When he ar
rived last Monday he was met at the sta
ton by a committee composed of Messrs,
T. A. Lynch and w. Il. Doak, who es-
corted him to the Central Hotel.

About ten days ago the writer, who is
Tazewell boy, and not ashamed to own it,
boarded the train at Marion, Va, bound
for the Indian Territory, via Bristol,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Memphis and
Fort Smith, the border city. This country
lad saw many new and strange things on
his way, for his travelling ticket had here
tofore been almost limited to his native
state. He realized that he was over
more forcibly when he saw the Eighth
New York Regiment returning home. A
great many of the soldiers were sick, but
the camp life is gay one.
The great Southern Railway traverses
some of the poorest country in the South.
The cotton fields of northern Miss, Ala,
and Georgia are indeed contrary to the
blue grass region of Southwest Va. There
is as much difference in the people as
there is in the country. A lazy, stupid,
swarthy look characterizes nine tenths of
the people. The student Of history can
not fail to appreciate the scenery round
about Chattanooga When ones vision
falls on Look Out Mountain he feels that

Fort Smith, the border city,is thriving

If the writer undertook to 90 into

So all he has attempted is few random
shots which may possibly interest some of
the readers Of the REPUBLICAN.
