More About Camp
Mcclellan and the
People Met onW Way
Continued from last weck.)


We met many nice people on our
trip-sOme we knew and others who
knew Tazewcll people, and saw some
fine farming country, and much more
that seemed poorer than can be I'M
agined. A little gossip" along these
lines may be interesting to some of
the readers of this paper.
From Tazewell to Admission, Ala,
is about 800 miles. We had to spend
two nights ut hotels on the way
one in Bristol, one in Chattanooga.
Returning, we spent only one night
on the road-at Radford. Mr.. and
Mrs. 'Delp we all know and the trav-
cling public knows, are just natural
ly born hotel people. Delp has done
finely at Radford. He is, l believe,
Mayor of the city, or was | am sure
sometime ago. The years have dealt
kindly with him and his good wife.
Their crowns have been sprinklcd by
Father Time, in his passing, but they
are each as young in spirit as ever
tions about Tazewell people.
At Bristol we spent pleasant
night at the hotel Hamilton and had
the pleasure next morning of an hour
or two with Rev. D. A. Glenn, who
was the beloved pastor of the Bap-
tist church here some years ago. He
is living quietly and easily in the
city, and preaching to two churches
in the country. He is the same Glenn
we knew in Tazewell. The only
change noticeable is in the color Of
his hair. Mrs. Glenns health is not
good. His daughter, Miss May, SO
well remembered here, Is still at her
home. Mr.. Glenn asked many ques-
tlons about his former friends and
acquaintances and desires them to
know that he still has them in mind.
Bristol TO Chattanooga.
did not know that there were so
many nice towns in Tennessee until
this trip. Knoxville, Morristown, and
Johnson City, knew, but there are
n nNmber of other fine towns, all of
them seemed busy and prosperous At
Morristown met Mr.. jennings Incl
dentally on the platform. Finding
out that was from Virginia and
Sid Higginbotham? OF course 1 did.
He said he is my brother-in-law. /
married his wife's sister. Tell them
that you saw me-" l met also anoth-
er good looking man there, or at
Johnson City, l forget which. He,
like Jennings, Claimed kin" with
Tazewell. His name is Robinson. He
said, "Tell George Peery you met Jim
Robinson. was at school with HIM"
/ asked man do you know Harold
Litz? He said "Of course / do, He
lives not far from here. He is fine
an and doing WELL" And so you see,
managed to Connect up" as we say
with homefolks. At Johnson City lives
Mrs. William Moore, Tazewell wo-
man, at Chattanooga, lives Rev. E. E.
Wiley, whom / did not see, as we
reached that city late at night. At
Alfalfa, on the return trip, met
number of people while WAITING for a
belated train, who knew the late Jas.
w. Moore, brother of John and Will,
of this town, whose tragic death oc-
Cured a short time ago. One man
said, "Jim Moore was a fine business
imam and a splendid fellow except
when--." The same old story.
Jim Moore had no enemy in Attala,
except Jim Moore. His widow and
Sam Moore, son of John of this town
live in Alfalfa and are doing well.
In Rome.
We changed cars in Rome. We were
delayed an hour in reaching Rome on
account of wreck in front of us.
Rome is a pleasant looking city Of
