Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. B.W. STRAS invited a
few friends to a reception given in honor of Mr. A. C. SPOTTS and
his bride (nee KILLIAN). The supper was very elaborate, and dancing was
engaged in by some of the couples. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.
A.D.W. WALTON, Mrs. J.P. KROLL, Mrs. Reves WALKER,
Dr. and Mrs. A.F. HARGRAVE, Mr. and Mrs. R.C. CHAPMAN,
Misses Josie KELLY, Eva JONES, Carrie and Eva SPOTTS,
Nannie Rose FUDGE, Alice CHAPMAN, Nannie HIGGINBOTHAM,
Mrs. Marie POYTHRESS, Messrs. James W. SPOTTS, J.B.
BOYER, George ST. CLAIR, Henry PRESTON, John W.
SPOTTS and Mr. DARST.
MRS. EVELYN PAINTER This aged lady closed her long and eventful
life at 5 am last Sabbath morning at the ripe age of 83 years, 9 months
and 10 days. For many years past she had enjoyed daily the kind
administrations of her daughter, Mrs. Emeline PEIRCE, at whose hone she
resided, and through her long affliction her devoted daughter, Miss Mary
PAINTER, has been her constant companion and whose affectionate and
tender nursing brightened the closing years of her life. Who that was
ever blessed with the acquaintance of this sweet, gentle life but will
say that a christen woman has gone to her reward. Noted far and wide for
her cheerful gentle disposition, she was nevertheless a woman of strong
convictions and her firm, unwavering faith in Christian religion
undimmed by age, and brightening toward evenings close, is not only a
comfort to her kindred and friends, but has done its part in
establishing the weak through all the years.
Mrs. Ella WITTEN and daughter, who was formerly Miss Mary
LACKEY, and who have many friends in Tazewell, are visiting here,
the former from Missouri, the latter from Tennessee.
