The Christian chatauqua community singing was at the school building in Wilkesboro Monday and Tuesday nights.
The protracted meeting closed at the Baptist church Sunday evening. Sixty-one joined the First Baptist Church.
Mr. J.B. Williams says they have issued 1,350 automobile and truck license plates up to Tuesday morning, July 7th, from this office, the total amount of money for these plates being $21,220.
Mrs. Whit Williams, who was seriously hurt some time ago in a jitney bus collision between here and Winston-Salem, has improved after some time. Mrs. Williams has perhaps lost part of the use of one of her arms permanently.
A roasted pig that weighed 125 pounds and two beef hams, which all-told made together 205 pounds of meat alone—aside from what the baskets contained—for the picknickers was not calculated to let any of the crowd go hungry on the Big Fourth at the picnic on the Brushy Mountain.
Mr. Clifford Moore of Straw is the first in the county to sell ripe tomatoes this season. He had a bushel of the fine vegetable in town Monday morning. In the Hustler’s opinion he is doubtless the youngest farmer in the county who has produced so early a crop of tomatoes to the extent of any quantity.
Mr. John J. Russell of Boomer township and one of Wilkes county’s oldest and regular attendant at the annual re-unions of the Confederate Veterans, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis the latter part of June, his many friends are sorry to learn and hope that he is recovering. He is being attended by Dr. A.J. Eller.
Some of us bewail the effects of dry weather in the county but if we had rain only every few days, we would be perhaps sick of the slime and weeds in the crops. Ex-Sheriff Johnson said last week and he is pretty well acquainted with Wilkes, that good upland soil corn has not been hurt by drought but that poor upland corn would not make anything.
You can get a Confederate Memorial Half Dollar by calling at the Bank of North Wilkesboro. Proceeds from the sale of these coins will be used to help pay for carving the great monument to the heroes of ’61-’65 of the South at Stone Mountain, Ga.
In Mulberry township on the Vickery Adams farm a panther has been seen by several people during the past three weeks, it is said. Seventy-five men went on a hut for it one night last week but failed to get it. The people of that section are very much excited over the appearance of this wild animal. Mr. J.C. Adams of that community says that few people in the section travel after the sun goes down.
Mr. P.E. Dancy informs us that on July 24th the National Realty & Auction Company will offer for sale the farm property of Mr. C.C. Gambill one-half mile east of North Wilkesboro on the south side of the Yadkin river. This is valuable property and will bring a good price. A Ford car is being given away to the person holding the lucky number at this big land auction sale. The P.E. Dancy company is the local representative for the sale.
