Mrs. C.W. SMITH, of Lodi, California, is now visiting in Abb's Valley, renewing her young among the scenes of her birth and girlhood. Mrs. SMITH is a daughter of Mr. Charles WILSON, a well known citizen of Abbs Valley. Her husband, C.W. SMITH, is a son of the late C.W. SMITH, who went to California from this county many years ago. Her husband is, therefore, a grandson of the late Jonathan SMITH, of Abb's Valley. She is a second cousin to W.G. HARRISSON, of this town, and also second cousin to Mrs. John BARNS, of this town, and the first cousin to Mrs. W.L. MOORE. Mrs. SMITH'S visit to Tazewell will be a pleasant one all around, and an extended one, too, if she visits all her relatives near and remote.

Mrs. R.R. HENRY and her family have decided to dispose of their property in this town, and move elsewhere. The nice, well known residence is for sale. The splendid house consists of eleven rooms, 2 baths, 2 servant rooms, garage, barn, corn crib and all necessary out buildings, a good orchard and 4 acres of land. The large shaded lawn has granolithic walks, stone wall, surmounted by a nice, substantial iron fence, and a granolithic paved street fronts the entire property. To those who know this residence no praise of it is necessary. Those who do not know it must see it in order to appreciate it. It cannot be adequately described on paper. Here is an opportunity to secure one of the most elegant properties in this county, at a reasonable figure. Mr. Robert HENRY, Greensville, S.C., agent for his mother, Mrs. R.R. HENRY, asked the undersigned to represent him here. Any information desired will be cheerfully given. J.A. LESLIE.
