Mrs. Walter Shull died Monday in the hospital at Shulls Mills. He had an operation and never recovered.
We were pleased to have our old friend and Methodist preacher Willet Simson of Johnson city with us a few days. He rode the circuit here in 1870 and 1872. He is 78 years old now and as jolly as ever. He preached here Sunday night. The Rev. Wagner came with hm. He preached one sermon which was greatly enjoyed.
Mr. Leander Norris and wife of Arkansas are spending the summer in Watauga.
Mrs. Norris (Maggie Floyd) is visiting her aunt, Mrs. Patrick, at Shulls Mills. She also visited Mrs. Walters at Foscoe. She is as ever the sweet little Maggie Floyd.
Carrie Walters visited at the home of Mr. George Robbins Saturday and visited the hospital. Mrs. Barber Hartley of Blowing Rock and her nurse, Miss Ward, were there. Mrs. Hartley is getting on fine.
Miss Alena McCain came down for a short visit from Blowing Rock Sunday.
Mr. James Shoon of Shulls Mills recently caught a rainbow trout 20 inches long and 6 inches wide and several bass in Watauga River near the head.
The Foscoe Sunday School is getting ready for their trip to Linville next Sunday. If any of our friends would like to join us and have a good time, come on, we would be pleased to have you.
