The show of
horses on our streets court day was one that any county might well be
proud of and they attracted universal admiration from the crowd of
onlookers. Among the saddle horses paraded were the following:
Mr. H.G. MCCALL'S "Black Diamond" and "Midnight" a pair that
anyone might well be proud of. Mr. C.H. PEERY's "Tazewell Prince"
who ought to get his head up more. Mr. W.T. THOMPSON'S handsome
sorrel "Red Boy", whose temper could be improved on. Mr. J.S.
GILLESPIE'S "Prince Albert" who seemed to be a great favorite. Mr.
George SURFACE'S "Fancy Boy, Jr" who made his debut and showed
great promise of becoming a very fine horse when fully developed.
Amongst heavy horses for draft purposes was Mr. J.B. HIGGINBOTHAM'S
fine Percheron from the celebrated Pulaski stud. This horse weighs 1700
pounds and any one wanting heavy horses would do well to patronize him.
Messrs DOAK and PEERY also showed a good looking black of
Norman ancestry, which ought to produce some good draft horses.
We cannot commend the wisdom of the crowd during the parade, as they
persisted in standing all over the street, running a great risk of being
run over or kicked. We thought that the fight which occurred between the
horses on this same occasion last year would have taught them a lesson,
but we were mistaken. Someone has evidently to be killed before they
will take warning.
Misses Maggie HARMAN and Sallie SURFACE, two of the most
attractive young ladies of the court house, are visiting friends in
Graham this week. Tazewell girls and beat the world bringing down the
budding beaux, and these young ladies are no exception to the rule.
