The deceased graduated in the Tazewell High School last Spring making a fine record, and was very popular with the teachers and pupils of his class.

Mr. TIDWELL, one of the operators at the Burkes Garden Sidling, likes to trade. A few nights ago, two strange men stopped by his telegraph box, and offered two good work horses for sale at a very low price.
TIDWELL didn't want to buy the horses, and said as much, but averred that he would 'swap' his Tin Lizzie for the brutes. After some jockeying the men rode off in the Lizzie and
b droves his horses to his farm near town and put them to work. TIDWELL was patting himself on the back, when low and behold a few days after, Ben
READ came over from Pocahontas and offered a reward of ten dollars to the person who would locate his horses. A boy, who had seen
TIDWELL'S pair, though they looked like Ben's, and led Ben to 'em. TIDWELL gave 'em up without a struggle and now feels that he is back where he started - no horses to winter, and no Tin Lizzie to eat up gas and oil.
TIDWELL is making an effort to locate the two strangers, not that he particularly wants the Lizzie back, but he wants to congratulate them on having put one over so easily.
