E. Y. Clark Jr., of the editorial
staff and w. H. OVERLY of the
business Office of the Constitution
will be here next week for a
write up of Fitzgerald and the
colony to appear in an early Sun
day edition. These gentlemen
will find a great deal to write
about when they come here and
will no doubt make an interest
ing article for their paper. They
will not have to write any stories
or enlarge on any facts to pro-
duce the best write-up they have
yet sent in.
What they say for us will be in
the nature of the very best ad-
vertisement we could get and
they should be given every facil-
ity and encouragement.

grafton to the South is the black
man. @9
A large per cent. of all emf
grants are working men, the
laboring class not only wish
to avoid the cheap competition of
the black labor, but in most in-
stances, positively refuse to work
with them. h
The Southern white man who
would not permit negro to enter
at his front door or seat himself
in his residence, does not hesitate
to work side by side with him
and very frequently (though not
as rule) for the same wages.
But the northern man who seems
to be at a loss to know how to
treat the negro socially, and some
times finds himself embarrassed
to know how to avoid offering him
a seat at his dining table, rebels
at the suggestion of the equality
of labor competition, and as a
rule fatty refuses to work side
by side with negro, or on build
lngs or at any work where any
negro labor is employed.
AS long as this antipathy exists
we cannot expect the tide of emil
grafton that has for a hundred
years been directed westward
from Massachusetts and New
York bays, to turn southwark.
We must depend to a large extent
on the class of emigrants who do
not have to depend on their daily
toll for subsistence, except in
isolated cases, where colonies
may be established to the exc1u-
sion of the black labor.
Within the decade we expect to
see a great number of these
colonies established in the
south by northern people, and
practically all of them exclude
the negro, forbid his residence
or his employment within the
bounds of the colony domain.
There is a strong disposition
in this colony to be rid of the
negro and we shall not be surpris-
ed at an early date to see the
negroes of this city and colony
colonized to themselves in a sec
ton set aside for their exclusive
residence. The northern people
who have come here will not work
with them or give them EN-.
ploVment. They do not like
them as neighbors, and it would
probably be the best for the col
onyifthe residence of the negroes
here should be restricted (not
by law but by a decree more i'm
mutable) to a given section that
would be fair to them and much
more satisfactory to the colon
lists.
There are we'll informed men
in the city who believe that such
an arrangement would influence
real estate values and advance
the interest of the colony more
than any other one thing that is
likely to be undertaken in the
near future. =.

GEORGE KELLEY.

The many friends Of Mr.. George
Kelly gathered at his home on the
morning of april 10, 1903, to pay a last
tribute of love and respect to their hon
ored neighbor and friend.
Mr.. Kelly was born in Dublin, Ire
land in the year 1919, came TO Ameri-
ca in 1S42 and was married to Mary
Bowen in 1852. For 80 years they
walked togather in ideal wedlock. OF
tins union nine children were born,
eight OF whom servive- three girls and
five boys. One year ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Kelly celebrated their golden wedding,
an event they had fondly anticipated
with pride and pleasure The day Of
realization found Mr.. Kelly too much
indisposed to have many friends, but
the children, grand children, and fathers
|Olivy and Boyer were present to enjoy
the occasion.
Mr.. Kelly was member of the Cath
Ole church, was well known all over
the county, and had the reputation of
being an "honest man the noblest work
of God. No one is known who cher
ishes the recollection Of an unkind word
or act. In the home the memories OF
how kindly and how lovingly he devot-
ed himself are sacredly cherished. The
World has lost ali excellent man, but
heaven has gained thereby.
May God comfort the bereaved and
guide the sorrowing ones in their ap-
pointed way until they too shall all an
chor safe in the harbor of eternal peace
and meet again the husband and faith
er who we believe has moved for eter-
nifty, close by the throne of God.
A FRIEND.

Miss Blanche Lewis Dead.

Miss Blanche Lewis, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. J. II. Lewis, OF this town, was
buried here on Tuesday. She died at
Stonewall Jackson Institute, on Sunday
last, where she was attending school.
Her sickness, was of short du
ration, and at no time seemed alarming.
In fact, she was thought to be much
better, and preparations were being
made for her'to come home on the very
day the telegram was received here
announcing her death. The untimely
death OF this promising young lady is
unutterably sad, and her parents are
heartbroken. Great sympathy is ex-
pressed for them.

Rev. Mr.. Kelly, pastor of the Meth
odist church, of which deceased was a
member, delivered the funeral sermon
to n very large crowd. 1t is estimated
that there were at least five hundred
people present from all parts of the
county, attesting the high esteem in
which the deceased was held.
w. G.. Mustard was born in Bland
county sixty-four years ago In 1868
he came to Tazewell three years after
the war, in which he served as a sol
dier with honor to himself and his coun-
try. In the year 1885 he was elected
as a representative of Tazewell in the
Legislature, and served with satisfac-
ton TO his constituents. During his
term Of Office he offered the bill which
resulted in the establishment Of the
Southwestern Lunatic Asylum mt
Marion, which benevolent institution
stands today as monument to his
memory.
Mr.. Mustard was an ardent and
Jealous man, enthusiastic in all he un.
dertook, popular with his friends and
.untiring inthe support or defeat of any
cause in which he became interested.
He has several living brothers, one
OF whom, Mr.. Samuel Mustard, lives
near Pocahontas, and the others, we
believe in Bland co unity, and also sew
eTal sisters. His only child was mar
ried a few years ago to Mr.. H. S. Bow

success in stock raising and farming,
his estate being valued, it is said. mt
about $125,000. He will be missed.
his death will be mourned by a large
circle of friends.

bcr 1901, and after much delay and
several postponcmcnts George Jones
