The appearance of the Baptist church is
being greatly improved by a coat of paint
on the outside, from top of the spire to the
foundation. New paling fences have also
been built and painted. The paint used
is the celebrated Devoe, and good job is
the result. This paint is gaining a great
reputation on account of the excellence of
its quality and the absolute guarantee
given by its manufacturers. We have
recently heard many reports from those
who are using it, and they all pronounce
it the best.
We have received the catalogue for the

The Tazewell Woman's Club had an
elegant entertainment on last Thursday
night at the residence of Mrs. W. q. Har-

invited guest, the married ladies taking
their husbands and the unmarried menu
bers their gentlemen friends In all there
were about forty persons present. An
elegant supper was served and the menus
were pronounced by many of the guests
the pretiest they had ever seen. A num-
Der of tcasts were given, Mrs. Harrison
acting as Toast-Master. Messrs. +. L.
Greever, Will Spots, Geo. w. st. Clair,
G. L. Byron, Barnes Gillespie, j. b. Bo-
yer and j. S. French responded to roasts,
in the order named. The responses were
all pronounced good, the efforts of Messrs.

From all accounts it was a literary feast,
which reflected great credit on the Wo-
mans Club.
