From the March 26,
1914 issue of The Watauga
Democrat, Boone
Town and Country
Title Inspector
J.C. Fletcher of Franklin is with his family in Boone this week.
Hardin Brown has
received his appointment as carrier on R.F.D. No. 1 and will enter upon his
duties about the middle of April.
Mr. J.M. Younce,
merchant, of Yuma, this county, died at his home on Wednesday of last week
after an illness of nearly three months.
On account of poor
health, that splendid citizen Mr. J.S. Lewis has decided to sell at public
auction his fine horse stock and some other personal effects.
The crowd in Boone
on Monday was unusually large, and the town marshal never even made an arrest,
not even the slightest disturbance occurring anywhere.
Mr. William R.
Miller of New River has purchased the pretty farm of Mr. John Lowrance lying in
the gap of the Rich mountain above Silverstone, and Mr. and Mrs. Eggers are now
in Virginia seeking a new home.
Mr. Richard Norris
of Silverstone was right painfully hurt last Saturday. He was making horse
shoes and a red hot shoe flew from the tongs, striking him just above the eye,
inflicting an ugly wound.
A few days since
Mr. N.L. Mast made another rather heavy investment in Watauga dirt. He bought
the C.C. Church and J.A. Aldridge mountain lands at Foscoe, the purchase price
of both tracts being $7,900.
The following
out-of-the-county attorneys are here this week: Messrs. Jones and Harhaw of
Lenoir, Love and Cline of Newland, Baughus of Jefferson, Lowe of Banner Elk,
and Judge Councill of Hickory.
