AMr.
J.W. CHAPMAN delivered the memorial address. His subject, the Heritage of the South, was admirably presented. Those who had the pleasure of hearing the address are loud in their commendations. An effort was made to get the manuscript for publication, but the request was politely refused. It should be printed and preserved finally.
This Camp desires to place upon record a memorial tribute to Major A.J.
TYNES, one of its members who died on the 11th day of November, 1914. Major
TYNES was a soldier in the Confederate Army during the entire war between the states. He saw active service in different fields of operation and held a number of official positions. He was a zealous member of this camp and rendered it efficient service. He was a highly respected and useful citizen of Tazewell County, and a public spirited man. Therefore, be it resolved, that: This tribute be preserved among the archives of this Chapter and published in the two newspapers of this county, and a copy thereof be transmitted to members of his family.
Our friend James W. JONES, who lives east of town, not far from Five Oaks, on what is known as Lincolnshire, was here on Monday, and it came out in a conversation with him that he was in no condition to be troubled with other people's troubles, for he has enough of his own to keep him busy. His father, who will be 105 years next October, has lost his mind, and not being willing that he should be sent away, is caring for the aged parent in his own home. This is a constant source of anxiety and care. In addition, not long ago, James
JONES, an express messenger on the N and W., while at home on vacation, was seriously hurt by being thrown from a top load of baled hay, at Burke's Garden Switch, and George, another member of the family, was taken to the Bluefield Sanitarium last week for a surgical operation for appendicitis. And so, the old saying, that troubles never come single, seems to have been verified in this case. But, everybody is getting well, and the skies are brightening.
