Land assessors were in Wilkesboro Monday to get their abstracts, and they seem to dread their job. It will be a difficult task to get an equal assessment on all property in the State, and that at its true value in cash. Governor Aycock has reappointed the members of the State board of elections.

It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Anna, the lit tle daughter of Mr and Mrs. Wesley Woodruff, of Indiana. She died at the home of her uncle, Mr. E. L. Church, ot this place Friday of last week, after a short illness from an attack of dysintery. The family boarded the train at No, WTlkesboro, Wednesday for their home in Ind. where the remains of little Anna will be taken for interment. The remtins of little Anna were es corted to the train by a large con course of relatives and sorrowing friends. It was indeed a sad parture— a parting with some of the members doubtless never again to meet in this world. But with little Anna, she can sing—“It is well with my soul it is well.” General Sunday School Rally. A General Sunday School Rally was conducted in the Methodist church on last Sunday evening at 3 o’clock. The exercises consisted in short, spicy talks by Messrs F. B. Hendren, J. B. Tabor, F. D, Hack- ett, C. W. Robinson, J. S. Forester, and T. E. Weaver. The various sub jects were ably discussed, and the teachers and officer should take ad vantage of the ideas advanced, and apply the same in their school work. Childrens’ Day. The Childrens’ Day Exercises at the Methodist Church in North Wilkesboro, on the 5th. Sunday in May, 1903, were exceedingly good in every respect. A large congregation enjoyed the exercises. It was quite a beautiful scene to see the little chil dren recite and act in so pleasant a manner. Faith, Hope and Love com posed the great theme of the exercis es and every performance very forci bly illustrated the great meaning of the subject. The stage was beautiful ly decorated with beautiful roses and other choice flowers which had been carefully selected and arranged. Nothing on earth could be more beautiful and impressive than such exercises by the children; and too much cannot be said in praising the children. There the little children were being trained preparatory to entering upon the higher planes of Christian work. It requires 200 cars daily to carry wheat to and take the flour from the Washburn, Crosby Co’s, mills. It requires 8500 horse-power to run these mills. The Finest mills in the world.
