Death of An Old Veteran.

Mr.. Harvey Campbell Stephen
son. died at the home of his son,
Mr.. V. l.. Stephenson, in this
town, last Sunday morning, at
$3.50 O'Clock, after a long illness.
The funeral services was con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Campbell of
the Baptist church, and Rev.
Mr.. Platt, of the Methodist
church. Burial was made in the
new cemetery.
Mr.. Stephenson was born in
this county at Liberty Hill in
April 1881, and wanted only a
few months of being 83 years of
age. He was a shoe maker and
harness and saddle maker by
trade, and worked at Liberty
Hill and in Thompson Valley ali
his life. In 1862 he married Miss
Sweeny at Liberty Hill, who
was staying with a brother there
at the time. Her family came
from Buckingham county.
Deceased was a member of a
family of 13 children, IL sons and
one daughter. Two of the
brothers still survive-one, l.
H. r. Stephenson, on Clear Fork,
and Simon at Tip Top. The
daughter never married, and
lives now with her brother on
Clear Fork. Deceased was a
Methodist in faith, but never
connected with the church. His
aged wife, about 81 years of
age, survives. and lives with
her son where the father and
mother have had their home.
Mr.. V. L. Stephenson is the only
child born in the family.
Thus another of the few re.
naming links which binds the
present and the past, is snapped
in the death of this aged warrior
whose last battle has beer
fought.

Fine Pigs Feet.

The editor is indebted to the
Tazewell Packing Company for
several messes of pigs feet, a
great delicacy with him, rank
ing next, a very close second, to
his favorite dish, sausage. 1t
may be the peculiar way "the
Boss" has of fixin' 'em up, and
no doubt this is the secret of
their lusciousness and popularity
in his gastronomic appreciation.
1.-The Boss" says they were the
incest pigs feet she ever saw,
and she has seen 'em in her day,
and cleaned 'em, or tried to.
Cleaning pigs feet is a hard job,
but the packing house people
know how for certain-as clean
as silk and as white as snow.
The cry of "more" and vet
more still, is his cry. One of
these days, plain rules and
directions for preparing pigs
feet for the table will be given
in these columns.

A TESTIMONIAL.

Mrs. Frank M. Lawrence and
her nice young daughter, Miss
Donna May, were welcome call
ers at the News office this week.
They live near Wittens Mills on
the farm of Henry Bowen, where
Frank is foreman. He lived
there and "bossed" for Henry
once before for quite while,
switched off and went into the
saw mill business for while.
Fire came along and burned up
his old mill, and now he is back
on the farm. Henry likes him
and Mrs. Lawrence says that
"Mr. Bowen is one of the best
men in the world to work for"
and so, she finds, as everybody
else who has tried it, that life
on the farm is the best life
after all. For some eighteen or
twenty years the cradle has
rocked winter and summer in
the Lawrence home. They have
about 8 children, mabye its ten,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence will
have some one to care for them
when they are old.

Miss Katherine Smith.

Miss Kate Smythe died at
her home at North Tazewell last
Friday night, after a short i'll
ness. The remains were laid to
rest in Jeffersonvile cemtery
Sunday afternoon, where sleep
the bodies of many friends and
relatives. The weather was in
tensely cold, yet the number of
people who gathered at her grave
to attest their appreciation of q
true woman. and express a deep
sympathy, was Indicative of the
es 'eem in which she was held.
Deceased was about 70 years
of age. The birthplace was at
Bloomingdale, Scott county, Vir-
ginia. The ancestral home there
is still in possession of the
family, She was sister to the
wife of the late DR.. Henry Field.
ing Peery, prominent citizen
of Tazewell in his day. One
sister, Miss Matte Smythe,
survives. The two sisters had
made their home together for a
number of years. She was sister
also to Hon. Harry M. Smythe,
so well known among us, as
editor, county school superin-
tendent and Minister to Hayti
during the Presidential term of
Grover Cleveland, Mrs. Henry
Pretson, of this town; Mrs. |
Robert Moss, of Burke's Garden;
Mrs. JOS. Stras, of Roanoke;
Miss Carrie SPOTS and Miss
Lydia Smythe, of Gate City, are
surviving nieces of the deceased. |
The late Alexander Smythe,
father of the subject of this
sketch, was born on the pro-
perty npon which Emory and
Henry College now stands, his |
father being the owner of the
farm. Mrs. Smythe, her mother,
was Mary Chester Kelsey, a |
Tennessean by birth. Her family
is connected with many of the
oldest and best families of
Tennessee. Her three score and
ten years were quietly and un-
obtrusively and inconspicuously
spent. Her chief service was
given to others than herself. She
went to the grave honored by
all who knew her, and honored
and appreciated most by those
who knew her best-a woman of
culture and refinement, and best
of all. her crowning virtue was
her religious character and un-
questioned piety through a long
life.
The flowers will bloom and fade
the grass will grow and wither
alternately with the season
above her sleeping dust, but will
bloom and grow perpetually and
eternal in the memories of those
who knew and loved this gentle
spirit.
