Two real estate deals were put through last week on
Tazewell avenue. Prof. J.P. BRAHE and wife purchased the Paris THOMPSON
property, formerly owned by T.A. REPASS, for $750.00, and THOMPSON and
STOWERS brought the store building from Capt. TYNES, which they have
occupied for sometime. The price paid was $2,500.00. These properties
were cheap at the prices, and will prove good investments.
Samuel PEAK, a well known citizen of Burkes Garden, died at his home on
Little Creek last Wednesday, aged about 60 years. Besides a wife he
leaves one daughter, Mrs. McMEANS. The remains were interred in Poor
Valley yesterday under the auspices of the J (?) O.O.F. Lodge, of which
he was a member. Deceased was a member of the Christian church, and a
man of good Christian character.
Burkes Garden: Mrs. Annie Moss PEERY and children and Miss
Nellie PEERY, who have been spending a while with friends and relatives
here, returned home Monday.
Mr. ECHOLS the "China man" from Bristol, spend Sunday in the Garden.
GORDON, the dress goods man, and PAYNE, the picture man, have both
canvassed our valley within the past few days - now our women can only
"pinch their empty pocket books and groan"
Messrs. RUNION, BURKES, HAYGOOD and FUNKHOUSER have been smiling on the
merchants.
