Death of An Estimable Lady.

On Monday the sad intelligence reached
town that Mrs. Hattie NeeI, wife of Mr..
M. F. Neel, had died suddenly at her
home near Cove Creek, in this county, on
Saturday night, last, at ten O'Clock.
Mrs. Neel, in company with her husband
and Mr.. s. w. Neel, had started at about
eight O'Clock to neighbors house TO sit up
with a sick child. When they arrived near
Mr.. ]. 6. Higginbotham's, and were pass
ing through field, Mrs. Neel complained
suddenly of her head. She was taken at
once to her home, and died in about two
hours.
The deceased was daughter of Rev. D.
A. Daugberty, who is now preacher in
charge of West Tazewell Circuit. She was
between thirty-fve and forty years old
and is survived by her husband and six
children, four girls and two boys. The
burial took place at the Neel burying
ground on Monday afternoon at three
o'clock.
From gentleman who has frequently
visited the home of the deceased and who
knew her we'll, we have received the fol
loving expressions:
"In the death of Mis-. NJ. F. Neel, there
will be vacancy in the Clear Fork circle
which will be hard to fill.
"As devoted member of the Church,
and an earnest worker in all that pertained
to the cause of religion, she occupied a
high position, which may we'll excite the
pride of all those who are near and dear to
her.
"In the domestic circle, as q wife and
mother, che was kind and aitectionate;and
her home has long been noted on Clear
Fork for it's cheerful and open-handed hos.
pitality
"The once happy home is darkened by
this shadow which has fallen across its
threshold, but those who mourn, have
the pleasant assurance OF ahappy reunion,
where separation is known no more"

GoEBEL TO get CERTIFICATE
Says Committeeman WoodsOn-Volun-
teers TO Seat Taylor.

Chicago, November 20.-National Com
mitteeman Urey Woodson, of Kentucky,
who was present at today's meeting of the
National Democratic Executive Committee,
said there was no doubt that the State
Board of Elections of Kentucky would
award the certificate of election to Goebel.
He said that Mr.. Goebel will not contest
the case if the Board of Elections decides
against him. Former Senator Joseph
Blackburn, Mr.. Woodson said, will be
elected United States Senator.

Harlan is one of the strongly Republican
counties of the Eleventh district.
Frankfort, Ky, November 20.--The
Democratic State Campaign Committee
comedies that Taylor has majority on the
face of the returns, but base hope of the
election of the Democratic ticket on
throwing out the vote of Louisville on ac-
count of the interference of Governor
Bradley, and Johnson and Knox counties,
where tissue ballots were used. The Ken
lucky election law plainly provides for
secret ballot, and the Republicans admit
they are not as we'll fortified in the defense
of their interests in the Johnson and Knox
counties cases as might be, but do not
credit to any extent the Democratic claims
regarding Louisville. In fact, they assert
that they have assurances that Governor
Bradley will back them in resistance,
which they say is already fully planned.
Goebel managers announce they will not
taRe an appeal from the decision OF Judge
Jones, at Glasgow, where l, ,1S3 votes er-
roneously certified for w. P. Taylor, were
ordered counted for w. S. Taylor. In
this state of the case, the vote of Jefferson,
Knox and Johnson must be wiped out to
give Goebel majority, but his managers,
it is believed, are collecting evidenc Of
alleged fraud in various Republican coun-
ties, and will ask the Stale Election Board
to throw out these counties.
Senator Deboe came back tonight, and
is supposed to be in direct communication
with Governor Bradley, though ne did not
visit the executive Office.

WHAT HAS RECENTLY TRANSFERRED
IN THE COUNTIES OF THIS
SECTION.

Work on the construction of the build
ings for the Columbian Paper Company's
plant at Bristol, Va, will commence on
the 9th inst. The machinery for this
plant will cost fully one quarter of mil.
lion of dollars, and the time that will be
required for the construction of the build
ings will be at least six months.
On election day, the 7th inst, at Black
water, Lee county, Va, Deputy Sheriff
Evan Bledsoe, of that county, shot and
killed John NJ. Tate, who was at one time
representative of his county in the Virginia
Legislature. The difficulty between the
two men arose over politics. Now comes
the news that Howard Tate, son of John
NJ. Tate shot and killed Bledsoe, on last
Saturday. Young Tate had sworn to
avenge his fathers death, and shot and
killed Bledsoe on sight.
The work of excavating fol Ne govern
ment building mt Bristol he's commenced.
The county court of Pulaski county has
made an order for constructing an iron or
steel bridge over New River at Towe's s

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

1t is possible that the situation in Ken.
lucky caused the Leonids to postpone
their appearance. Two fireworks displays
in one month would have been too much.
If Goebel is given the certificate of elec.
ton in Kentucky, as is now threatened,
the Kentucky Republicans will give the
Virginia Republicans an interesting exam
pile of how to resist fraud perpetrated un-
der an election law similar to the Virginia
law.
1t is announced that the National Demo-
cratic Committee will meet in Washington
on the 22nd of FEBRUARY, next. George
Washington, if consulted, no doubt, would
express great qualification at the honor
conferred upon him.
The free traders are very abusive of the
protective tariff, because it is raising the
price of WOOL They used to contend that
it would not advance the price. What do
the wool growers of the country think OF
The conduct of the free traders ?
Expansion and Protection are doing
great things for the South; but the peo.
pie who are now rejoicing over the bene.
fits they are receiving from these things,
IN 1900 will vote against the party that ad.
vocates them, and for the man who OPP
poses them.
The country will hear with profound
sorrow of the death of Vice. President Hc-
bart. He was good man, and enjoyed
the esteem of his political opponents as
we'll as of his political friends. If he had
lived and kept his health he would have
been placed on the ticket with Mckinley
in 1900.
The expansion sentiment is growing
strongly at The South. Mr.. Bryan will
either have to modify his views on that
subject, or make Southern Democrats eat
an extra amount of crow in 1900.
We havn't the slightest doubt that Gen.
eral Walker will be given the seat in Con-
gress. The record in the contest of Wal
ker VS. Rhea discloses frauds of such a
character and quantity as to convince any
honest man that Rhea is not entitled to
the seat.
In the last Congressional election $4,000
votes elected seven Congressman from
Mississippi. There were that many votes
polled in the Ninth Virginia District, with
out counting the dead men, repeaters and
fraudulently registered votes that were
voted for Rhea Is there any justice in
having seven men who represent together
only $4,000 people sitting in Congress
from one State Public sentiment and
justice willcompel cutting down Of the
representation from Mississippi and other
Southern States, unless the people are en-.
couraged and allowed to vote.

General Walker In Town.

On Tuesday morning General James A.
Walker, Congressman from the Ninth Vir-
ginia District, arrived at Tazewell, and
spent that day and yesterday mingIing
with his personal and political friends in
the town and county. 1t is the first time
the General has been in Tazewell since the
Fall of 1898, and 1t was the first time he
had been met by many of his friends here
since he was shot by Davis. 1t was a
pleasure for them to see the General look
ing so we'll and find him so cheerful. The
way in which he was met Tuesday. by
gentlemen from all sections of the county
indicated that he is more popular in Taze'
well than he has ever been. General Walker
will 90 to Washington the first of next
month when, Congress meets, to actively
push his contest for the seat in Congress
which WAS given to w. +. Rhea, by the
returns that were secured by the most
outrageous frauds.

DEATH OF THE
VICE PRESIDENT
The End Came Tuesday Morning At $50
O'clock.
FOLLOWED A LONG ILLNESS.
Surprise 0ccaSiOned by the Announcement
Coming After the Apparent Improve
ment Of Monday.

New York, November 21.-Garet a.
Hobart, Vice President of the United
States, died at his home in Paterson, N.
J.. at $50 o'clock this morning. At his
bedside were Mrs. Hobart and his son,
Garrett A. Hobart, jr., together with DIR.
William X. Newton and his wife and Pri-
vate Secretary Evans.
Mr.. Hobart's death had been expected
for some hours. The beginning of the end
came yesterday afternoon, when there was
a sudden failure of the heQrt, and from
this attack Mr.. Hobart never rallied. He
had been sick for long time, and had
suffered frequently from heart failure and
his strength had been undermined. Grad
uallv, the failure of the hearts action be-
came more apparent, and soon after mid
night last night Mr.. Hobart became un-
conscious. He remained in that condition
until death came. Mr.. Hobart's death
was due directly to angina pectoris, COM
plicating myocarditis.
Owing to the prostration of Mrs. Ho-
bart, the funeral arrangements will not be
completed until tomorrow. The only step
decided upon is that the services shall be
held in the Church of the Redeemer at
Paterson, and the interment in the family
plot at Cedar Lawn, where the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hobart was
buried six years ago. Rev. DR.. MaGee
will preach the sermon.
The church can accommodate not more
than 800 persons, and as thousands will be
eager 10 attend the services, it was sug-
gested that they be held in the armory,
which will accommodate 10000 persons. 1t
is known, however, that Mrs. Hobart
wishes the funeral to be as quiet as pos
sible, and there is little likelihood that the
program will be changed.

THE PRESIDENT DISTRESSED.

Washington, November 2l,--All the
fla in Washington are half-masted out OF
respect to the memory of Vice President
Hobart. The announcement of the Vice
Presidents death, while not unexpected,
came as distinct shock and cast deep
gloom over the city where he was loved
and honored. The President was deeply
affected by the telegram announcing his
colleagues death and at once dispatched a
telegram conveying the sympathy and
consolation of himself and Mrs. Mckinley
to Mrs. Hobart. President Mckinley was
deeply moved, and when Senator Fair
banks had left he joined Mrs. Mckinley in
his private apartments. His close and in
innate relations with his colleague made
him feel the Vice Presidents death as a
great personal bereavement. Mrs. Nc
Kinley was greatly affected. She gave
way completely to her grief and sobbed
convulsively. Mrs. Mckinley has but few
intimates here and among her most cner-
ished friends friends We're the VicePresi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart.
