Mr.. Chairman:-ln the death OF
Capt. d. p. Mast, llostone ofmy
closest and dearest friends. was
attracted and bound to him, not
only by his high character and
unbending integrity, his genial
and charming personality, but by
the strongest family and ! oc a |
ties. >He bore the name OF my

pie we're my people. We both low
ed the everlasting hills that en-
compassel his birthplace; We
both loved the hockmasters and
herdsmen, whose homes res
along the banks OF the,Watauga,
which, in the Indian tongue,
means beautiful river. SO beauti
ful is this valley of the cross, in
which he was reared that the
poet might we'll have had it in

"The mountains that enfold il

That guard thepncan'ed grouhn.
And the lovely country fro m
which he sprung has never glver
to the world a finer tyre OF man

1t is impossible to think OF Capt
Mast, without assor'ating h s
memory with the country from
which he came.
Although for many years r.
moved from their midst, hisfnnd
ness for them never abated, ant
his interest in their welfare never
tagged; and when, in the ! a s
months ofhis lifr, he came to dis
pose of his nrcumulations, the.
were the objects OF his concern
and his beneficence.
Among the people west OF tn

Maymates, his schoolmates, ant
his comrades in war, 1t was am
ong these sturdy and intre!h'
moun,aineers that lie first re

he was Colonel in the Revolution
