COMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTIONS.

At a recent meeting of the members of
the Baptist Church at this place the fol-
lowing very complimentary resolutions to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wayts were adopted. We
are informed that the resolutions were
adopted by rising vote, and without a
dissenting voice
Resolved, That we, the members OF
Tazewell Baptist Church, convened in reg
ular church session, express with regret
and deep-felt sorrow our loss in the resig-
nation of our pastor, Willis L. Wayts. A
man of scholarly attainments, clear ex-
FOUNDER of Gods word; forcible in argu-
ment, being Jealous in the work of the
Lord. Under his ministry and splendid
pastoral work, our church has been greatly
strengthened by many additions, also de-
veloping itself into active missionary work.
Pitching his tent on the highways, IN To-
caIities where there are no Baptist houses
for worship, preaching Christ and him
crucihed, many sinners nave Deeh con-
verted, others awakened, and Christians
of other denominations greatly blessed.
As one result of this work there is Bap-
fist chapel going up in that beautiful Sec
ton of our county known as Burke's Gar
den. We think we know whereof we
speak when we say, Bro. Wayts is Bap-
tistic in his convictions, and a strong ex-
ponent of the same, basing his arguments
on the teachings Of Christ, at the same
time generous to those entertaining different
views, and practices. We love him for bis
unselfish friendship, meeting the rich and
the poor on the same level, recognizing
the fact that the moral worth of man is
not, what be has, but what he is. Look
ing back over his ministry during the last
year and half, we feel sad to say farewell.
70 those among whom he may cast his lot,

On last Sunday morning Judge John A.
Kelly died at Marion, Va. He had been
in feeble health for about six years and
his death had not been unexpected by
his friends.
For number of years Judge Kelly lived
at Tazewell. Just after the Civil War he
moved to Smyth county and then to Ma
rion. He was elected to the House of
Delegates as the representative of Smyth
county in tie first Legislature that met
after the Reconstruction period; and by
that Legislature elected judge of the ju-
dicial circuit composed of the counties of
Smyth, Washington, Russell, Scott, Lee,
Wise and Buchanan. He was twice re-
elected and did not leave the bench until
January lst, 1895. The circuit of which
he was judge was the most aborious one
in Virginia. The territory was large, diff
cult to get over and the dockets very
heavy. 1t was wonderful how a man of
Judge KelIy's delicate physique could per-
form the heavy work he did as judge for
nearly twenty-five years. The same ter
ritory, with one county added, now COM
poses two judicial circuits, and the dockets
are much lighter than under Judge Kelly's
administration. e
He was fine lawyer and able judge,
and left the bench with an untarnished
judicial record.
For many years he was an earnest and
consistent member of the Methodist
Church.
Judge Kelly is survived by large num-
Der of children, four sons and six daugh.
tiers, and large number of grand children.
He has two brothers living, Capt. Frank
Kelly, of Glade Spring, and Rev. VIM. Fl.
Kelly, who lives at Unaka, four miles east
of Tazewell. Mrs. Jane SPOTS, of this
place is bis only surviving sister.

Death of Mr.. D. ]. Gillespie.

On last Sunday morning Mr.. David
Johnson Gillespie died at his home, or
Clinch River, ten miles west of Tazewell.
He hadIbeen sick only few days, and but
very few persons, except his relatives and
near neighbors, were aware of his illness
until his death was announced.
Mr.. Gillespie was sixty-seven years old
and was born and had lived all his life in
Tazewell county. He is survived by three
sons, Messrs. J. Sanders, Gus and Joseph
Gillespie, and one daughter; and by two
brothers Messrs. Joseph S. and A. P. Gil
lespie of our town; and five sisters, Mrs
Joseph Harrison, Mrs. Oscar Barns, Mrs.
Henry Bowen, Mrs. Geo. w. Gillespie and
Mrs. T. l.. Painter.
The deceased was held in high esteem
by all who knew him; and he was a man
of fine mind and extensive information
being great reader. For about eleven
years he had been a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church South, and was
noted for his generous hospitality and
kindness to the poor.
A large number of persons went from
town TO attend the funeral and burial,
which took place on Tuesday afternoon at
three o'clock.
Funeral services were held at the house
by Rev. ]. S. French, assisted by Revs.
c.. r. Brown and -- Jordan. The
remains were then turned over to the Ma
sons, of which order be was a member,
and were carried by them to the family
burial ground and buried with full Ma
sonic honors. Mr.. Gillespie was char
ter member of Tazewell Lodge, No. 81,
A f. & A. NJ, and was an honorary mem
Der of the Lodge at the time of his death.
We do not remember to have ever seen
so many Masons in procession or taking
part in the ceremonies at the grave where
a deceased brother was buried in the coun-
ty. This testified to the high esteem Of
the fraternity for their deceased brother.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-11-22

we commend him in true love and fellow
ship, receive him as a brother, give him
your support and prayers, and the work of
the Lord will be manifested. Our prayers
20 out that the Lord may preserve his
health and strength. May be accomplish
a great work here on earth for the Master.
When lifes battle is ended and the shades
of death are closing over we'll spent life,
earth receding and heaven drawing nigh,
may he 90 up to God bearing many
sheaves, having in his crown many stars;
the souls of those who have been persuad-
ed to turn to Christ through his preaching.
Again we feel that we would be recreant
in our duty, should we fail to give that
tribute of respect which is so eminently
due to Sister Wayts woman Of so many
Christian attributes that make up strong
character; cultivated in intellect, refined
in feeling, possessed CT literary talent. She
gives much assistance to her husbands
work, in which she manifests the greatest
interest. Oh, blessed Jesus, let thy rich
benedictions rest upon us as church,
unite us in love and fellowship, lead US out
from under every dispensation of thy
providence into the glorious sunshine Of
Gods grace and peace. Direct all our
councils, bless every effort set on foot for
the advancement of Thy kingdom. Bring
us up to higher state of Christian perfec.
ton, whereby we may be endowed with
wisdom as thy people, to do active service
in the Masters vineyard. Respectfully

Successful Insurance Work.

A few months ago our townsnan, Mr..
J. N. Harman, was appointed local agent
for the South-AtIantic Life Insurance
Company, of Richmond, Va. On the LIST
day of last October the Company assigned
a certain amount of insurance to be writ.
ten by each agent during the months Of
October, November and December, offer.
ing a prize to the agent who would write
the largest per cent. Of his assignment.
Our friend Hartman, who is a quiet but
earnest worker at anything he undertakes,
started out, and during the month Of Octo-
Der, wrote 81, 500 more insurance for bis
Company than had been assigned him for
the entire three months. The result was
the immediate, favorable notice of the
Company and his being placed at the head
of all Its local agents.
Mr.. Hartman was notified by the Gen.
eral Manager to report at the home Office
at Richmond. Without knowing its In.
tentions he obeyed orders, and upon re.
porting at its splendidly equipped offices
at Richmond, after introduction to the
General Manager, was informed that be
had been advanced to the position Of Gen.
eral Agent of the Company for Southwest
Virginia; and that still further promotion
would follow the completion of the organi.
cation of this territory.
The outh.Atlantic Life Insurance Com.
pany has oeen most fortunate in securing
the services of Mr.. Hartman to organize its
work in this territory. His extensive &C.
quaintance in Southwest Virginia, and ex-
tensiye experience gained by his various
avocations, as preacher, teacher, printer
and politician, fit him peculiarly for the
work. He is thoroughly familiar with the
field, knows the people, is careful student
of human nature, and will be able to select
local agents and direct their movements
with unusual skill. The Company must
be sound to the core and offering unusual
liberal policy contracts, as Mr.. Hartman
gave up the agency of one of the largest
and best of New York Company's to ac-
cept the agency of this. We congratulate
the South-Atlantic Life Insurance Com
pany on securing his valuable services,
and congratulate Mr.. Harman On bis re.
markable success in his new field of labor.
