Mont. STEELE, our down town "Cobbler"
has sold his property to H. Bane HARMAN, Deputy Clerk of the county, at
the price of $1,500, and it is whispered Mr. STEELE will leave us: if so
some other community will get a number one mechanic..
We regret to learn that Mrs. Mary BOWEN, wife of Col. H. S.
BOWEN of
Wytheville is quite ill. There is not a heart in Tazewell that does not
beat in sympathy with Mrs. BOWEN. No sweeter spirited woman ever blessed
our society, and none ever left the county whose departure was more
regretted.
Mrs. Witten CECIL and family have the sympathy of the entire circle of
their acquaintance. Two weeks since Mrs. CECIL was summoned to the
bedside of her step-daughter, Mrs. George MAYS - who was a citizen of
Giles county. Mrs. MAYS died.
Last Sunday night Cornelius MCGUIRE, the
father of Mrs. CECIL, died very suddenly, at Mrs. CECIL'S residence.
Mrs. CECIL
was telegraphed to return but no answer was received; and it is probable
the telegram did not reach her in time if at all - till her father was
buried. Mr. MCGUIRE was on of the oldest and most respected citizens of
the county - a true man in all the relations of life.
A friend tells us Miss Ollie HARRISSON is rapidly gaining
strength and health among the flowers, and under the genial sunshine of
Florida.
It is reported unofficially that Rev. James BUSTON has purchased
the Baldwin property at the price of $4,500. This worthy English family
is cordially welcomed amongst us again.
