The store of J.B.
BOYER and Company of this town, was entered late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, and a lot of goods and money taken amounting to about one hundred dollars, only a small amount of this being in cash, which was taken from the cash register, the rest consisting of jewelry, candy, etc. Quite a number of nice watch chains and several pairs of
gentlemen's silk hose were taken. The thieves entered from the rear easily, by breaking out a window pane. The cash register, which is quite heavy, was carried to the rear of the store, and broken open. The safe, which stood near by, was not molested. About the same time, or perhaps earlier in the night, thieves entered the store of J.H.
WHITLEY and Son, at North Tazewell, but were probably frightened away as nothing was missed from the store except a bottle of coca cola. There is as yet, no clue to these petty thieves, who, evidently are
amateurs. This is not the first time these kind of robberies have occurred here. It will recalled that several times within the last few years grocery and other stores - once Battimore's Clothing store was included, was entered and articles stolen. No Strenuous effort has ever been made to run down these thieves. The hope is general that they may be brought to justice, and this gang for such it seems to be broken up.
Clinton Newberry YOUNG, the only son of E.B. and Ollie YOUNG died at their home at Maxwell, Virginia. Saturday, Feb. 18, in the tenth year of his age. Being the oldest child and only son he was the pride of the home and was worthy of all the love and care bestowed upon him by his fond parents. At the age of eight years he showed an interest in spiritual things and about that time made a profession of religion and gave his hand for membership in the M.E. Church, South in a meeting conducted by Rev. H.M.
BOYD at Mt. Pleasant church. What a consolation to his loved ones that he so young, should turn his thoughts heavenward. Religious services were conducted by the writer at the home, and the interment took place at the Peery cemetery near Tazewell Sunday afternoon. Brother and sister
YOUNG have many sympathizing friends in this section of the county. C.A.
