The county
commissioners will be in session on Monday next.
Mrs. Pat. Pendley of
Blowing Rock was in town Monday.
Corn planting is
upon us and the weather is just perfect. Farmers are now quite busy.
Dr. Hogshead was in
town yesterday. He had been to Ashe on professional business.
Services in the
Methodist church next Sunday at 11 a.m. will be conducted by Rev. A.L.
Stanford.
Register of Deeds
Jacob May has been confined to his room for several days with measles but is
now able to be out again.
A.W. Beach, C.D.
Taylor and E.M. Greer compose the Election Board for Watauga. The gentlemen are
all well qualified for the position.
Atty. McNeil and
Editor Pearson of the Jefferson Patriot spent Saturday night at the Blackburn
House on their way to the Republican Judicial Convention. We have tried hard to
learn who was nominated at the Republican Judicial Convention at Hickory, but up
to the time we go to press we have no positive information. We heard on Tuesday
night that Moses Harshaw was nominated but do not give it out as correct.
The commencement
exercises tomorrow promise to be very interesting. The exercises will begin at
10 a.m. and will continue through the day, with appropriate exercises at night.
A large crowd is expected.
Just as we go to
press we learn that a corps of railroad engineers are now in the county looking
over the line preparatory to making a survey from Lenoir to Tennessee. This
certainly seems that the company means business.
Mrs. C.C. Pennell
died at her home at Horton on the 1st after an illness of some weeks from
pneumonia. Mrs. Pennell was a daughter of W.W.D. Edmisten, and a lady much
loved by those who knew her. Her husband, parents and relatives have our
deepest sympathy.
Chas. B. Aycock, the
next Governor of North Carolina, will address the people of Watauga in Boon on
the 25th. Let every citizen, to whatever party he may belong, be sure to attend
and hear the issues of the day discussed by him. It will pay you for your time.
Blowing Rock
Township held a stock law election on the 1st and it carried by a majority of
61. This is certainly a move in the right direction, and we think it advisable
for Boone township to take a vote on the same as soon as practical, and if
carried, the expense of building several miles of fence on the Boone and
Blowing Rock Township line could be saved. The stock law is bound to ultimately
sweep the county and now that the good work has begun, we hope it will be
accomplished at least in Boone township. Let us hear from some of our people on
the subject and get the matter agitated.
