Martin Enlarges Store.

Joseph P. Martin, the Coryell
street grocer. is building an addition
1926 feet to the rear of his store
to take care of his growing business.
When he built a handsome store
building in the block between Union
street and the railroad last June,
people who thought they knew what
they were talking about, prophesied
that his business wouldn't last three
months, but already an addition
to his two-story brick store building
has become a necessity.
Incidentally, he is firm Deliver
in newspaper advertising exclusively
and constantly.

DIDN'T FOOL HER MA.

Miss iva V. Steele, only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Steele, 'stole
a march" on the old folks, and slipped
off and got married on the 10th, at
Bondtown, at the home of her uncle,
MIR. P. M. Alder, prominent mer-
chant of that town. The fortunate
groom is Mr.. John B. Gillespie, of
Wittens Mills, one of Tazewell coun-
tvs best young men. Rev. w. w.
Hicks, the Methodist pastor at Coe-
burn, performed the ceremony, in the
presence of a few special friends of
the parties. The young lady's moth
er "got wind" Of what was in the air,
by wireless or grapevine telegraph,
or some other equally effective means,
and surprised them by popping" in
unexpectedly just before the cere-
mony.
1t is understood there was no op-
position to the marriage, and it was
in no sense an elopment.. These
young folks have been sweet hearts
for years. If the young folks put one
over on their friends they failed to do
so for the young lady's Ma. Mr.. and
Mrs. Gillespie left at once for a
bridal tour to Washington and other
points.

A TRIBUTE.

And Major Henry has taken his de.
parture. No man will be more gener.
ally missed. There is none to take his
place. His individuality was pecul-
larly his own. And his individuality
reminds one of the giant oak. tow,
ering above all others in the forest
lie seemed TO tower above the rest of
his fellow men in his section, if not
of the whole state, for he was one of
the first citizens of the State of Vir-
ginia. "A prince among men, n char
acter without spot or blemish, an in
teilect of marvellous depths, soldier
who maintained to his death the prin-
oiples for which he fought. To be in
his presence was to be in the pres
ence of gentleman. His very foes,
If any, could but respect him, because
of his lofty honor. Dignity perched
itself upon his brow and remained
with him through all the years. Cour-
tesy was his bosom companion, and a
part of his nature. To be with him
was an honor. To be with him was to
be elevated to higher ideals of exalt-
de citizenship.
And has he gone? In the words of
the poet:
Can storied urn or animated bust,
Back from its mansion call the fleet
ing breath,
Can honor's voice provoke the silent
dust,
Or flattery soothe the dull, cold
ear of death?"
The thought grieves us that we shall
see his face no more. But having
known him has made life worth liv-
ing. With him was associated in a
great measure the town of Tazewell.
When thought of TaZewell, thought
of Major Henry. When l thought of
Major Henry l thought of Tazewell.
Not that his name and fame were con-
fined to the town of his residence.
Few citizens of our state were better
known and more universally admired.
Well would he have filled the Govern
or's chair, or seat in the United
States Senate. But his leanings were
not in that direction. The lure of pol
itics did not appeal to him, the ap-
plause of the galleries less. In his
home and in his home town he was
content to be the idol of his people,
the first citizen.
The beautiful hills and mountains
surrounding our county seat are still
there, and many other noble sons
and daughters breathe the pure air
and bask in the sunshine of her beau
ty, but no nobler being has ever trod
its green hills and lovely valleys, nor
walked with stately tread its splen-
did streets. His life is a sort of ben
ediction to the town and to the section
and what Il monument he has erected
to his mmory in the hearts of his peo-
pie. Verify, the record of his life is
such that the briefest, truthful thought
must be, "he lived to bless mankind" :"
JOHN M. NEWTON.
