discount he agrees to return the

means, for it is only recently,
through the solicitation of druggist
Jackson that this medicine could
be brought for less than fifty cents,
he urged the proprietors to allow
him to sell 1t at this reduced price
for little while, agreeing to sell a
certain amount. The result has JUS
titled his good judgement, for the

can't refrain from paying fleeting
tribute TO another dear friend who has
joined the majority. We have been
friends since his boyhood and there
has never been n time in all the years
when our close friendship has been
dimmed ordiminished. He was brave
and manly, amiable and charitable.
Bluff and hearty in friendship, with
those stricken with poverty, sorrow or
disease, he was tender and considerate
as woman. We have done deeds OF
charity together, far more surreptiously
than we committed our follies. He

OLD TIMES
IN TAZEWELL
RemlniCenCeS of Years
Gone by.

|
III the visit OF Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus G.
Gillespie Is proving as interesting tc
themselves as to their friends, then
neither they nor their friends will eve,
have cause to regret that they came
These two good people, who, as they
themselves say, are no longer young
an instructive examples Of "growing old
gracefully" They are old IL at all,
only in years. They are fond Of COM
pany, read new books and are there
fore familiar with the current literature
OF the day. Mr.. Gillespie is a gentle
man OF intelligence-welli informed on
political and governmental questions.
an uncompromising Democrat In poll
tics and Methodist in religion, as is
also his wife.
Nearly every normal mind is fond OF
reminiscence. Mr.. Gillespie remembers
accurately and described vividly many
things OF interest connected with the
Tazewell of fifty years ago, when Taze-
well county included the whole OF what
Is now Tazeweil, Buchanan, and Me-
Dowel counties. There were then no
railroads. but few schools and stores.
and the people had no conception Of
the great wealth which lay hidden in
the rough hills and businesses OF their
great mountains.
Mr.. Gillespie was deputy Sheriff,
during the SOS, under his brother, who
was the first Sheriff of the county cleo
ted by the people. Before this time,
1852, or thereabouts,t the Sherlffalty de-
scended in regular succession from the
Magistrates OF the county, the oldest
Magistrate, lin point of service) being
appointed for two years, then the next
Oldest, etc., on down. The Office OF
Sheriff was, in those days, frequently
matter OF bargain and sale, one man
buying the Office from the incumbent.
and perhaps, selling it again to other
parties.
The county OF Tazewell. in those
days, embracing an extensive territory,
with no railroads, and few good dirt
roads, was no easy ground for the
deputy Sheriff, who frequently, par
ticulary in the matter Of tax collecting.
was compelled to make long journeys
ON horseback, sleep any where he
could. and eat anything he could get.
But, the people were then as now, land
perhaps more SOL charitable and hos
pitable, and always ready and willing
to entertain the traveller.
Many and great have been the
changes since then. Our county has
greatly developed and improved, and
no one can appreciate these changes
and improvements so well as one who
has been absent number OF years.
For extensiveness, varied climate
and diversified industries, Mr.. Giles
pie thinks Texas leads all other States,
and is destined to be by far the greatest
State In the Union. The building Of the
Panama Canal will be of incalculable
value to the material growth Of the
South In general, and TO Texas in par.
ticular.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillespie will remain
sometime yet In Tazewell. The weather
has been against them since they came,
but they are having good time, and
will have still better time when the
weather will permit them to move
around.
