Messrs. Joseph S. and A. P. Gillespie
have purshased the farm of Mr.. w. A.
Barns in Bowen's Cove. This is one OF
the best farms in Tazewell county, con-
sisting of about eight hundred acres,
and part of the farm sold some years
ago by the late Col. Henry Bowen to
the late Capt. Robert Barns. The
price paid for the land by the Messrs.
Gillespie was sixty dollars per acre.
Lizzie Holley, wife of ]. Oscar Hol-
lev, who is one of the most highly re-
spected colored citizens of our town,
died at her home here on last Friday al
ternoon at five o'clock. She had been
in very i'll health for several months and
her death was not unexpected. The
deceased was sister of T. B. and Ben
Warren and had many relatives among
the best colored people of Tazeweh.
She is survived by her husband and a
number of children.
Last night another very severe wino
storm accompanied with heavy ram
fall visited Tazewell and vicinity. A
small dwelling on the hill east of Taze-
well avenue, occupied by Mr.. Burcham
was blown over and had to be suddenly
vacated by the family. Part OF the
roof on the old Tazewell College build
ing, now occupied as residence by
Henry Hampton was blown off and the
stable of Mr.. w. P. Barnett, on the
high hill northeast of town, was blown
down. We have no doubt much more
damage was done by the wind.
On yesterday afternoon at three
O'Clock Miss Hattie Surface and Mr..
Fred R. Steele were married. The
bride is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
G.. R. Surface and one of the most
popular and attractive young ladies IN
the county. Mr.. Steele is one of the
leading young graziers of Tazewell.
The marriage took place at the resi-
dence of the brides parents in Thomp-
son Valley, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. H. M. Fugate. 1t was
a quiet affair and was witnessed by only
a few of the relatives and friends OF
the contracting parties. Mr.. and Mrs.
Steele came to Tazewell and left on the
6:15 afternoon train for visit to Rich
mond, Washington and other eastern
cities.
