The town of Graham has an offer
to dispose of the entire $50, 600 bond
issue voted in Tuesdays election at
premium. A representative of q we'll

should be given an opportunity to
purchase whatever part of the bonds
they may care to invest in before dis
posing of them to outside capitalists.
Hardly had the result of the election
been announced until inquiries began
to come in from brokers all over the
country expressing desire to bid or
the bonds, either in part or as q
whole. 1t is certain the bonds will
be negotiated at handsome premium

Resolutions

Headquarters Brown-Harman Camp
Confederate Veterans, Tazewell, Va,
April 81.
1t is with the keenest sense of our
irreparable loss that your commander
announces to the veterans of Taze-
well, and especially to the members
of Brown-Harman Camp, the death of
Mrs. S. c. Graham, of this place,
the veterans friend, who departed
this life today. She thus entered into
rest, sweet rest, beyond the river,
meath the shadow of the trees, and
her ceaseless and kindly thought and
ministrations for the comfort, well
fare and enjoyment Of the grim and
gray old boys, whom she so admired
and loved, must now fall to other
hands, and when our annual meets
and memorial days shall come, and
we shall gather at the "bivouac" and
around the graves of our dead COM
rades we shall miss her welcoming
smile and her CHEEKY greeting and
many an eye that never quivered and
cheek that 'er blanshed in the front
of battle, will grow dim and pale and
many manly breast will heave with
emotion when they shall miss the
tender and gentle hand which has
hung upon many throbbing breast
the Cross Of Honor, at once sym
bol of his manhood and her faith and
inextinguishable love in and for the
glorious cause for which he fought,
bled and endured. This earnest daugh-
ter of the Confederacy is gone from
our earthly camping ground, but of
her it may be said, "She rests from
her labors, but her works do follow
her."
