CAPT. ID. b. BALDWIN DEAD.

Capt. d. B. Baldwin, one of Blue
fields oldest and most highly res
pected citizens, died at his home Tues
day morning, aged 81 years, wanting
only few days. The burial was had
on Wednesday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Trapnell, formerly Rec
tor of the Episcopal church, in Blue
field
Capt. Baldwin's wife was Miss Sal
lie Barns, of Tazewell, through whom
his family became connected with
the large family of that name in this
county.
Captain Baldwin was born in Chris
tiansburg. He fought through the
war, and after the war was in bust
ness here with Mr.. Gibboney as a
partner, was treasurer of the county,
a number of years, and in the early
days of Bluefield moved to that town,
and became actively and intimately
associated with the history and grow
tn of that city. He had been active
up to within a short time of his last
illness. Few men in this entire sec
tion were better known, and his fam
iliar face and cordial greetings will
be missed.

TO SUCCEED HIS FATHER.
(Graham Daily News.)

IL is understood that Clarence
Grccver is to succeed his father as
postmaster of Graham. Mr.. Greever
has only served out about one half of
the four-year term and sentiment here
seems unanimous that the Office should
remain in the Grccver family during
the balance of the term. The bonds
men OF the deceased postmaster, un-
der the postal laws, arc required to
take charge of the Office and it is
their duty to name the successor to
Mr.. Greever and fill the vacancy. w.
j. Fink, Mr.. Greever's son-in-lnw, will
also remain in the Office az assistant
postmaster.
Clarence Grecver has worked i'm the
office since his father received the ap-
pointment, and is therefore well quail
lfied to assume the responsibility Of
being postmaster. lie is u model young
man and is universally popular ms
well as entirely reliable.
AS the department requires that the
postmaster shall devote at least u part
of his time to the duties of the Office.
IL appears to be the general senti-
mcnt among the patrons that Clar-
cncc would be the proper party to
succeed his father as postmaster. and
we presume this will be arranged for
between the bondsmen and patrons of
the Office and others who may be i'm
authority The responsibility of sup
porting his mother and sisters will
now largely fall upon Clarence and
he now becomes the head of the
household, since his two brothers live
away from home.

Mr.. C. P. Greever, postmaster at

lily of children, all of whom are mar
ried, except two daughters, Misses

K. Burgess, Mrs. Wade H. Frazier,

"a brother, B. B. Greever, Esq, Five
Oaks.
Deceased was born and reared in

known in the county. He moved to
Graham years ago, and was active in
the business circles of the town, and
for years among the, leading Demo-
Gratis of the county. He was kind and
genial, popular with those who knew
him, and it is said of him, that "no
better neighbor ever lived" The bur-
ial and funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, conducted by the ministers
of the town of Graham.

V.STUART
WILSON WILL WIN
Sees No Reason Why Chief Ex-
ecutive's Election is Not as
Sure as in 1912-Crops
Good in Russell.

Governor Henry C. Stuart, and his
nephew, Mr.. Harry Stuart, were here
yesterday to attend II business meet
ing of the Buckhorn Coal Il Iron CO..
and spent the day, dining with the
Governors lifelong friend, Can't
Reese Bowen.
The Governor has been mt his farm
in Russell for two weeks, rusticatinp
and rejuvcnating, and seemed in fine
trim and spirits. He returned to Rus
sell in the afternoon, and will attend
the convention at Bristol tomorrow.
Asked about crop conditions in Rus
sell the Governor said that the grass
Is the finest ever, cattle fat and get

is MI right. AS to the corn crop pros
poets, he said il is the best Russell
has had for years Even on ridge and
upland, the corn is fine, larger per-
centngc of stalks have two cars each
than he had ever seen before, and if
no accident, such as high winds to
blow the corn down, the yield will be

Asked about the political situation,
etc, lie said he grows more and more
confident every day of President Will
sons reelection, particularly since Mr..
llughcs's letter and several speeches
delivered. "Mr. hughes letter of nc
ccptancc and his speeches since hnve
been without force and entirely dis
appointing. There is no mere reason
now why the Republicans should win
in this campaign than there was that
they should have won in 1912 What
have they done during the last four
years that the party should be return
cd to powcr?"
"Who will be the nominee Mt Bris-
tot, do you think, to oppose Mr..
Slcmp?" The Governor replied, that
he was not informed on the situation,
and hnd no idcn who the nominee
would he.
The Governor is popular here with
everybody, as he is wherever known,
and his visits here are always plea
snnt. irrespective Of political aflilia-
tion the people say, ale is the best
Governor the State has ever had, and
Southwest Virginia bred him, borned
him and raised him, and so far ns we
are concerned he can hold his lob for
