The SURPRISE OF
THE CAMPAIGN
action of the Charlotte
tactIons Unexpected.
insures DIR. Priddy's Vote for
the Junior Senator-Shands ds
People are Aggressive
in the Isle ofWight

One of the pleasant surpr,ses of
the legislative campaign is the
announcement that the Charlotte
factions have reached an under
standing ard agreed to bury the
hatchet of strife. The happy re-
suit, 1t is generally agreed, was not
anticipated after the adjournment
OF the recent meeting OF the State
committee. Chairman Ellysop.
himself, while expressing the hope
that oil differences would be am
icably adjusted, was dubious over
the situation. His views reelected
those OF the best posted party men.
The good news from Charlotte has
the added spice of o pleasant sur
prise.
Chairman Ellyson was almost
JubiIant over the Charlotte tidinps
and expressed the confident belief
that all differences between DR.
Priddy and the old chairman, Mr.
watson, on the other side and Mr..
Rice and Chairman Monroe, on the
other, had oeen finally and forever
\ tiled.
Whether the agreement whereby
Dr. Priddy is assured of election
can be viewed as Martin victory
or otherwise, it is not necess ary to
inquire, but DR.. Priddy is al avow-
ed friend of the Junior Senator.
MIR. Rice, on the contrary would
have supported Governor. Tyler
Tor the Senate, had he been nom.
mated and elected by the Inde.
pendent wing of the party. That
faction claimed to he so strong
that they were confident Of ability
to elect Mr.. Rice; if that were true
then the adjustment of the differ
ences must of course be viewed as
another instance of the triumph of
Senator Martins friends.

N0aOOA IkCulC.
Our Sunday-school picnic which
was celebrated at White Church Nat.
urday, September 30, was quite n
success, although we we're very much
disappointed in our speakers. We
had invited four or five so as to make
sure OF one. But they all evidently
thought us hard lot or were afraid
the grub would run short We are
glad to say after we had fed about
2oO people we still had enough left
TO feed three or four as big as the
biggest one that was invited.
}. o. Corell gave us quite an in
teresting little talk, after which Prof.
Baker, OF Tazewell, gave very fine
talk on tue Importance of Sunday
school work. Next on the program
was refreshments, of which there
was quite an abundance.
On Sunday morning several of the
good people met at the church and
reorganize6 for winter Sunday
school. If every thing gees well we
are promising Ourselves another
pleasant occasion about December
10th. 1t is earnestly hoped that our
ne'ghbors will give this work more
attention in the future than we have
In the past, as it is II work not only
OF earthly pleasure but a great re.
ward III tho happy future.

Death of Mrs. Greever.

Last Sunday morning, just as the
holy day had dawned, the gentle
and lovely spirit of Mrs. Ella l..
Greever, the beloved wife of DIR. O.
w. Greever, entered upon the sab
bath of eternal rest, which remains
for the people of God. Two weeks
before, she gave birth to child
from which she did not rally, and
death came to her relief, and feed
her from suffering. There have
been few sadder deaths
than this. All deaths arc
dreadful in some particular, but
this seems peculiarly untimely aud
heart rending. The stricken hus-
band, with blighted hopes, a large
family of children, who so much
need a mothers care-these make
the loss irreparable. But there has
been, and will be still, sadder deaths
than this. Mrs. Greever, the low
ing wife and devoted mother passed
out of the shadow into the light of
beautiful and eternal day, leaving
to the bereft the priceless legacy of
noble Christian charac ter, and a
life whose beautiful example, like
holy incense, will linger still as o
benediction on earth. Had her life
been Christless her death would
have been immeasurably and mex
pressibly sad. AS it is, her death,
deplorable as it was, is thought of
IS transition ouly, into enduring
Joy and ever developing beauty and
bliss, which those who loved her
here may one day see and share.
Mrs. Greever, who was the daught.
er of the late w. W. Peery, was
born in 1S55,and was related, there
fore, 10 the well-known family of
Peery's in this county. She was
married to Dr. G. w. Greever in
1878. She was the mother of seven
children, SIX of whom, with their
father, survive, who with large
number of relatives, mourn the
death of one the purest and best OF
the earth. Her burial took place
last Monday, in the old family bur-
ial ground, and was attended by the
largest concourse of people ever
seen on such an occasion in the
county. Rev. Mr.. Wyse. pastor of
the Lutheran church, of which Mr. g
Greever was a devoted member,
conducted the funeral service. as
sisted by Rev. Mr.. Greever, of
Bluefield and Revs. Ruff and French
of Tazewell. The sympathies of
the entire commu nifty, without re-
gard to relationship or color, go out
to the distressed husband and moth.
erless children.

A Lovely Marriage at Belfast
Mills.


Mills
On Wednesday, September 27th,
Miss Carrie Bradshaw, of Russell
county, was married to Mr.. Charles
Ascue, of Tazewell. About dark
a goodly array of the old and
youthful friends of the contracting
parties gathered at the home of
the BRIDES father.
Beauty and mlrth ran their sew
eral ways galore, but the arrival of
The ministering angel of such oc-
casions, the Rev. Charles Kelly, of
Elkhorn, admonished the Russell
folks that their loss would soon be
Tazewell's gain.
AT the sound of the wedding
march the BRIDES maids and
groomsmen filed in: Miss ELLA
White with Mr.. George Gose, Miss
Rebecca Ascue with Mr.. Archer
Fogleman, Miss Lula Bundy with
MIR. Robert Graham, Miss Maud
Repass with MIR. James Howard,
Miss Stella Steele with Mr.. John
son, Miss Bertha Truit with Mr..
Clinton Ascue, Miss Mabel White
with James Bradshaw, and formed
an open column lengthwise through
the parlor.
The groom followed, looking
happy, as well he may, accompan-
led by Mr.. Douglas III. Smith.
Miss May Taylor accompanied the
blushing BRIDE.
Rev. Kelly advanced along the
open space left by these expectants
armed with the laws approval, and
IN short appropriate terms added
the remaining ceremonial over
these two hearts "that beat as
One."
The bride was becomingly and
beautifully attired, but the fash.
lonable shadow which she cast
ran rivalrous gait besides her
bridesmaids. Nature had shaken
Off its sullen solemn countenance
of the day before, and the very
stars seem to nod their hearty ap-
proval as. they played bo-peep
throughout the armament.
Supper, thou silent, salient
end of eve, was attended to in
proportion to it's abundance. Ev-
cry one seemed lost to the histori-
cal custom of the time, that break
fast would some time follow, and
ate as if they believed in no here
after. On the morrow large an d
sumptuous dinner was served at
the new home of the groom-a
dainty house nestled down on blue
grass sod between the fair western
hills OF Tazewell, as if to shut out
envlous gaze upon the happiness
of that honeymoon.
The groom is prosperous young
farmer, son of Mr.. Henry Ascue
OF Midway, at whose hospital
home portion of the 'sfortunates"
enjoyed real life during the occa-
sion.

Tennis at Bramwell.

Last Thursday evening a party
OF our most enthusiastic tennis
players, left for Bran well, to which
place they went as representatives
OF our club, to take part in the
tennis tournament on Friday. The
lnvitation from the Bramwell
Club was an assurance of a pleas
ant time. The Tazewell party was
composed of DR.. Gillespie and
Messrs. Ashby Henry, Walter
Steele and Barnes Gillespie. Their
anticipatIons were more than real
lied by the hOspitable reception
given them.
The Bluedeld, Elkhorn, Vivian,
Tazewell and Bramwell clubs were
all reprerented in the tournament.
The court at Bramwell is the
finest in this section and is a beau
ty. 1t was In a perfect condition,
and was a delight to any lover of
the game.
The first match was between
Vivian and one Of the Bramwell
teams. Bramwell won two sets
out of the three. Then Elkhorn
played one of the Tazewell teams,
the game resulting in victory for
ElkhOrn With score of two to one.
After that, Bluefield played the
other Tazewell team, Tazewell
winning with a score of two to
nothing.
Tine winning Tazewell team was
then defeated by the winning
Bramwell team with a score of two
to nothing.
The other Bramwell team then
played ElKhorn and won with a
score Of two to nothing.
This left the two Bramwell teams
winners and they did not play
each other.
As salve to our pride, it may
be incidentally remarked that our
old team, Barnes Gillespie and
JAS. O'Keeffe, beat the Bramwell
first team in an exhibition game,
much to the delight of the ladies.
The tennis was thoroughly en-
Joyed, enjoyed only as true sports
men can enjoy a fine game, but
the crowning event socially, was
the reception given Friday night
by the ladies to the visiting clubs.
The hospitality and social graces
OF the good people of Bramwen are
we'll known, and this reception,
although called "improptu," was
all that a reception should be. If
the other visitors enjoyed the cards
the refreshments and the dancin O.
as much as our boys did, the
Bramwell people may be assured
that their efforts were crowned
with success, and that any tutnre
invitation of tins kind which they
may give, will be accepted with all
alacrity which will be absolutely
convincing of our appreciation of
the past.
1t is pleasure to wear the laurel
wreath, but when defeat is accom-
panied with so many things to
make one forget, it is robbed of it's
bitterness and the defeated may
even come to admire the aforesaid
bit of evergreen on the brow of
another.
