After Many Years.

Mrs. Narcissa Thompson, of Watsonville,
California, accompanied by her daughter,
Miss Dora, and hel son, Henry, arrived
at Tazewell Tuesday afternoon. Mrs.
Thompson is the widow of Capt. John
Thompson, who was sheriff of Tazewell
anty after the civil war and who moved
with his family to California in the Fall Of
1870. Mrs. Thompson is the daughter of
Col. Robert Smith, formerly Of this county,
but now resident of jacksonville, Califor-
MIA, and who has reached the venerable
age of four score years. She is the sister
of Mrs. T. A. Peery, whom she comes to
Tazewel to visit, as well as host of her
own relatives and those of her deceased
husband She was met at the station by
number of kinfolks, and will be COR
daily greeted by all her relatives and
friends of days comedy. We have no
doubt that after an absence Of thirty
years Mrs. Thompson will enjoy greatly
visit to the place of her birth; and that the
mountains, hills, valleys and crystal
streams of Tazewell will appear more beau
tifu to her than in the days of her girl
hood.

tus Mcneil and Miss Mollie Mcneil we're
married, Rev. ]. S. French officiating. The
attendants were as follows:

Mr.. Albert Steele, and Miss Eliza Young;
Mr.. Peery Mcneil, and Miss Lena Peery;
Mr. John Farmer, and Miss Ida MCGUIRE;
MIR. VIII Young, and Miss Amanda Payne;
The wedding feast and the fun after
wards were most pleasant reminders of the
"good cd days" unfortunately past, when
people went to weddings expecting to
have good time and were not disappoint-
ed. The feast proper was the supper,
which was so good that it would tempt the
palate of an epicure, and so lavish that a
crowd o. twice the number of the large as
semb'y present could have been served
without danger of shortage" Music
and dancing, and the generous hospitality
of the host proved so attractive that the
night passed swiftly by and the elegant
breakfast came as a most delightful finale
of one of the "biggest times" on record.
The guests said good morning" and
goodbye" with many good wishes for
the happy young people so lately made
''one," and with new stock of pleasant
memories.

Electric Lights.

1t is now a settled fact that the town Of
Tazewell is to have an electric plant and
electric lights. On last Thursday after
noon the town council entered into five
year contract with SPOTS Bros. to have
them light the town with electricity. The
amount 10 be paid annually by the town
is S72O.; but as we demonstrated in an
article last week the additional cost entail
ed upon the corporation by the use of
electric lights will be only about S250.OO.
This the taxpayers of the town can well
afford to pay, when its expenditure will
give US plenty of light and introduce a
modern Improvement that will be helpful
in many ways. We have frequently said
that Tazewell is the biggest town Of its
size in the country, and We reiterate the
statement. .>.-........-
