It becomes necessary again to send out a call and inquiry for Henry
LINKOUS, the molasses man. He is at least 30 days late and more. This is the season for buckwheat cakes and sausage. The Editor has both, but nary a molasses. What is home without molasses at this season? The buckwheat from John
GOSE'S mill, large, juicy, fat sausages are on hand but without Dry Fork molasses, all is mockery. A buckwheat take may be regulation size, properly marked with the regular holes in it, bear a beautiful brown
countenance, and all that, but without good, thick molasses to pour over its face and down its back until it floats is a source of grief almost unbearable. Where is Henry? Will someone please report.
The NEWS office had a pleasant call on Wednesday from Mr. A.K. BROWN, of Bristol, and his brother-in-law, Judge N.H.
MCCLAUGHERTY, of Bluefield. Mr. BROWN is a member of the large buggy manufacturers of Bristol, well known throughout the country. He, with is brother, Mr. W.R.
BROWN, settled in this town in 1879, with the expectation of remaining here permanently. After a short stay and trial they found the town too small for their business, and moved to Bristol, where a large and lucrative business has been built up. Mr.
BROWN said that he met with only a few familiar faces. Col. ALDERSON, Judge
GRAHAM, and Maj. HENRY were about the only people he met who were here thirty-two years ago. The town has greatly widened and gown since then, and he wishes now that he had remained in Tazewell. The firm has recently sold to C.J.
MOSS, a nice hack, which he will use in his livery business here. There is no good reason why Brown Bros. should not have a good trade in this country, where the people use a great many buggies and carriages and know a good one when they see it. Mr. BROWN and Judge
MCCLAUGHERTY returned to Bluefield on the 6:30 train, expressing themselves much pleased with the day in Tazewell.
Mrs. E.C. KENDRICK, mother of J.T. KENDRICK, who came to Tazewell Saturday from Honaker to attend the funeral of her grandson, Earl C.
KENDRICK, was taken suddenly ill as she left the train at North Tazewell. She was in an
unconscious condition in the Tazewell Hospital for several days. She has about recovered from her illness.
