From the Thursday, June 23, 1910, issue of the Watauga
Democrat.
The Misses Beaty of Courtney, Yadkin county, who were here
attending school left for their home Monday on account of the frail health of a
young sister they brought with them. They hoped she would improve, and as she
did not, they returned home. We trust she will ere long be restored to perfect
health.

On last Friday, A.B. Hatchet of Inman, S.C., former
supervisor of the Spartanburg division was instantly killed at Marion by an
engine. It seems he did not hear the whistle and therefore did not leave the
track. He was crushed horribly.

Mr. H.E.C. Bryant, Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, has tendered his
resignation to the Observer company
and after July 1st, will be connected with the Missoulian, a daily paper of Missoula, Montana. Red Buck, as he was
often called, had in some capacity been connected with the Observer for 20
years and is one of the state’s best newspaper men. The paper he goes to is a
Republican paper, organ of United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon, himself a
North Carolinian and graduate of Guilford college. We regret his going away.

Mr. J.L. Scot, manager of the Monroe Oil Mill, says the
Monroe Enquirer, has made some biscuit out of flour from cotton seed and flour
from wheat, half and half, and the bread is good, has not of that cotton seedy
taste you would naturally expect it to have. The southern Cotton Oil Company
has a mill in Charlotte—the only one in the world which makes cotton seed
flour. Cotton seed will yet bring a dollar a bushel—it looks like. The man who
said that a person can live and live well given cotton seed alone is not such a
dreamer after all.—Our Home

Who weeps with you when you are sad
And laughs when you are glad
And smiles when you are mad?
The editor.
Who has to be both kind and wise
And never (hardly ever) lies,
And when he does creates surprise?
The editor.
Who owns a heart as well as cheek,
Possessed of spirit proud yet meek
And lives on 40 cents a week?
The editor.
