Mr. L.S. Gross brought to this office yesterday morning a
turnip weighing 5 pounds. Next.
James H. Taylor, Esq., has returned from a visit of several
weeks to his son Adolphus in Wilkes county
A little less than three weeks until the election, and every
citizen should see to it that his name is properly placed on the registration
books.
Mr. Watts of Shull’s Mills, who recently sold his mercantile
business there, has resigned as postmaster at that place. His successor has not
been appointed.
Miss Day, daughter of Mr. Thomas L. Day of Blowing Rock, has
taken a position in the office of Chairman F.L. Linney as stenographer and type
writer for the remainder of the campaign.
E.J. Norris asks us to announce that the next county
singing, Eastern division, will be held at the court house in Boone on next
Saturday. He is anxious that as many as possible can attend.
Mr. Abe Edmisten has been appointed substitute R.F.D.
carrier but of Boone on Route 1, and has filled his bond for the faithful
performance of the duties of the same. A good selection, to say the least.
Mrs. W.C. Coffey is off for a visit of some weeks to friends
and relatives East of the ridge. She will visit at Elkin, Greensboro, and other
towns and cities in North Carolina before she returns.
Mrs. Elizabeth Penn Seay, after spending the summer with her
mother, Mrs. W.C. Coffey in Boone, left last Thursday for her home in
Lynchburg, Va., much to the regret of her many friends in this section.
It is with sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Ed
Shell of Hickory, which occurred at her home some days ago. She was the
daughter of ex-County Treasurer W.N. Thomas of Tracy, this county; a most
estimable lady, and her demise will bring sadness to the hearts of hosts of
friends in Watauga.
Quite a number of Wataugans attended the Mountain City Fair
last week; took some of the products of this highly favored and most productive
county and, as is always the case, many blue ribbons were won by Wataugans. Mr.
Charles Lewis of Vilas R.F.D. held the best exhibit of wheat, while his
neighbor Mr. Don J. Horton carried off the ribbon for best buckwheat on exhibit;
as did Miss Maude Mast on several pieces of her handiwork, paintings, etc. We
have not seen the published list yet, but it is safe to predict that Watauga
won many other prizes. She is naturally a prize-winning county, you know.
