The corn crop in the county is said to be the most promising it has been for many years at this season, but the hay and I- rish potato crops are seriously hurt by the dry weather. Plenty of rain just uow for the growing vegetation. The'infant child of Mr. and Mrs T. W. Hopkins, of Elk Turk, died early Monday morning and the little remains were brought to the home of its grandparents, Mr. and Mra. Thos.

On Saturday evening last EiJ Green, of Poplar Grove, was standing in the store of M. B. Blackburn resting the muzzle of a rifle on his foot. He turned quickly for some purpose, when) from some unknown cause, the gun fired, the ball passing thro' his foot inflicting a very pain ful wound.

The End of the Muunain Tour. Leaying Boone at about 3, p. m., the editorial party returned to Blowing Rock, where at 8:30 o'clock an elegant luncheon v as served them on the lawn in front of the Watauga Inn, by Mrs W. Pendley and Mr. T. II. Coffey in behalf of the town. Early Friday morning t h e party left for Linville over the beautiful Yonahlossee turnpike. What a day for such a drive! Not too warm nor yet too cool. Ever and anou clouds floated a- cross the nkv and for a short while the rays of the sun would be shut in. At every turn in the road new scenes greeted the tour ists, the grandeur of which can never be described by tongue or pen. At tne juncture ot rne roan from L Igemont a delightful sur prise, planned by Col. Nichols, General Manager of the C. & N. W. R. R. awaited the party. While Col. Nichols let itbekuown that the ice-cold pool of water under the rocks was lull of bot tles of beer, free to all who would partake, his estimable wile was spreading an elogant lunch on the rorks near by. It would be hard to tell how much the party, from start to finish, owes to Manager Nichols and Passenger Agent E. F. Reed, ol the C, & N. W., and their wives. They were with the party on the entire mountain tour and did all in their power ior their pleasure The sceuery on every hand brought exclamations of delight Irom the lips of our friends who had never before seen the grand eur of these everlasting hills. Tru lv it did seem to those of us who had seen it often, that it was all grander far than ever. In the ting up their lists and report, language of the sainted Bishop E. J. NORRIS. Cait.

Six o'clock, however, fouud j the entire parly assembled nt the Eseeola Inn in Linville, ready for he delieiotiHflintitT which was so nicely prepared and so temptingly nerved.

The nit pise of the eutire trip was in store for the editors on Satur day morning when it wad an nounced by I he affable manager of the Inn, Mr. James R. Vining, that none of the party owed one cent for the eutertainment they bad received. With one accord the editors and their wives vote the manager of the Inn an ideal hotelist, at the head of an ideal hostlery in an ideal place, and they will ever consider their stay at Linville an oasis in Life's des ert. At 7 o'clock the editors left for Edgemont, where they took the train for their homes, and we trust and believe that they left the.hill country refreshed and with a knowledge of notouly the country but our people they nev er had before.
