HON. III. NJ. SMYTHE-A PERSON
AL MENTION.

Now, that "the Governors plans
have been broke into by the
loss of his wife and the breaking up
of his home, he is thinking and plan
ming to begin all over again" in his
business way. In Il casual conversa-
ton with him few days ago, it was
learned that he will rent his home mt
North Tazewell and go to Washington
city, where, us has been suggested to
him, he may be of some service in
in some suitable capacity A PROPOSE
ton, looking to his return to news
paper work, has been suggested, and
is being considered.
In whatever field of activity he may
choose, it goes without saying, that he
will prove efficient. This is assured
by both his record as Consul General
under q former administration, re-
cord perhaps second to none in our
history, as well as his long record as n
newspaper editor which is we'll known.
The "News while extending "the
parting hand" bears this testimony
to his unfaltering faithfulness and
geniality thought the years past, and
with 81 host of friends, wishes him
good luck" in whatever field of ac-
tivity he may labor.

SOLDIERS HAVE GONE.

The soldiers of the Second Virginia
Regiment, National Guards, stationed
in this section, along the Clinch Val
ley and at Big Stone Gap, entrained
yesterday morning under orders to
report at Roanoke
The special train reached the TaZc-
well station at 1920. There were
los men of Company a; rs members
of Company ID, and 90 members of b,
225 in all. The boys were in fine spir-
ITS, Except few who were bidding
goodbye TO certain fair ones of TaZe-
wclD.
There was a large crowd of people
at the depot to bid the boys farewell.
Many of the boys had become well
known in Tazewell in the homes of
many of the best people of the town,
and a very kindly, almost family in
terest was felt and taken in them.
The train bearing the boys away ne
manned ut the station only few mo
ments,. giving the boys opportunity
to shake hands and say goodbye to
their special friends. People crowd
ed around the car windows and shook
hands farewell with all that could be
reached.
AT Blueiicld the troop train will be
joined by a number of West Virginia
troops, making, it is said about II
coaches of soldiers, more than 400
in all. There are already about 5000
troops in Roanoke. They are coming
and going daily, being distributed to
different camps in the South.
IaZcwell, as well as Cedar Bluff,
will miss the soldiers, and their many
friends all up and down the line, will
remember them, and follow them with
best wishes that they may return with
the victorious army after the war is
over.

HE PAYS HIS DEBTS.

uncle" Felix Bourne, of Grafton,
more than 80 years young, was here
the other day and called, as he always
does, to have little confab with the
editor. He is MS young in thought
and action as most men are at hail
his age. Uncle Felix doesn't often
get mad, but if you want little
straight talk, just dun him once. This
paper did this thing once, but only
once, and will not do so again. Not
necessary nohow He always pays
his bills and doesn't owe any man Il
dollar in the world. He is up with
all his busness-both spiritual and
temporal and when the time comes
for him to take his seat in the chariot
bound for heaven, you can just say
that he is ready all the way round.
