Let every family in the county prepare to spend in town of Tazewell the 3rd of June, which will be Confederate Memorial Day. An able and interesting speaker will address the large assembly.
Crosses of Honor will be conferred on sixteen Confederate soldiers two hundred and fifty children will raise their voice in song. A band of music will enliven the occasion. We hope our country friends will contribute bountiful from their well stored larders towards the dinner for two hundred veterans.
The graves of the Confederate soldiers will be decorated at Jeffersonville cemetery. Each family is expected to bring its own lunch and all contributions to the dinner for the veterans will please be marked to that effect and left at the house of Mr. J.D.
HARRISSON, on lower Main Street, where he has kindly loaned to the Daughters for the use on the occasion. Every one should regard it in the light of an obligation to do all he can on these memorial days to promote the comfort and enjoyment of a fast diminishing body of men, who in former years, with the strength of their mature manhood upon them helped to write into Southern history one of its most stirring and splendid chapters. Mrs. E.V.
SPOTTS, 2nd Vice Pres. U.D.C.
Mr. T.C. SMITH, a prosperous merchant of Canebreak, W.V. and Miss Sallie T.
WITTEN, of this county, were married at North Tazewell, on Sunday in the parlors of the hotel, in that city, Rev. S.O.
HALL officiating. The marriage was quite an event, and was witnessed by a large crowd, some of whom were guests of the hotel, others from town and community. The bride is related more or less closely to the large family of the name of this county, and the groom is a substantial merchant, of Canebreak where Mr. and Mrs.
SMITH will reside in the future.
