Mm CilJey took much interest in the colonel's lavs* class and it was a que&fcior whether the students were crazier in the head about the Boss ei Ohl Miss; I the mild and plcsant weather the "lecture room" was the long and broad porch or veranda along the whole broadside of his spacious residence in I enoir, and often-, er than not Mrs. Cilley "sat in" with the class when reciting there, occupying herseif with such feminine employment as knitting, sewing, etc., and frequently interjecting criticisms upon the asinity of the law, as Dog berry would style :t.

MOUNTAIN AGRICULTURE P.anner Elk was for a long time a rustic mountain hamlet, isolated and comparatively unknown, but a wise man came along in the course of time, ar.d the nublic was shortly thereafter hearing of the Lecs-.MacBae Institute. The beginning was, as a matter of course, in a modest way, but the outside world soon had evidence of the good work being done there and the possibilities for extension of the work.

J. dian Grave Gap road and the Lin- u viile Mountain road being parts of r the Xickujack Trail. The only way t 10 get from Indian Grave Gap to Lin- v ville Mountain is along the Wilkes- r boro Ruthcrfordton road by way of < Mulberry. Moore's Crossroads and c j Linville store, and it is along this j j road that the Wilkes and Yadkin j j Valley recruits traveled to get to ! Ivings Mountain, and the Tennessee v 1 and Virginia recruits traveled down y the Linville Mountain trail to Lin- v ; viiie store on the oid Wiikesboro- r Ratherfordton roai! and took that p road, from Kings Mountain. j. The investigator discovered vesiige i f another old road running ^ north and south, the only remains of which were under the vestry room j. >t the Episcopal church in Lenoir, .Nobody could tell anything about it. And f?ve or six miles south of Lonoir, on the ''Rippeto old place,'* now own- t I'd by David A. Griffin, Esq., lie came s across long stretches of an ancient c i road in a pine forest, leading through ; the forest and through corn rows :1 among giant oaks and pines. As old p man Rippito emigrated to "the Eelynoy" n? 1817. the road is 105 years r old at least. But these two pieces of v oid road are not guaranteed to be s Dart of the Xickajack Trail. It is a not remembered whether Colonel 1 Cilley knew the origin of the name v Xickajack. I jSpring. As soon as this buillnig is " completed work will be begun or. the construction of the second. It is understood that the two other college buildings will be of the same as the one nearing completion, and the three will be designated as the North Carolina, Virginia and Tennesee buildings ' respectively. Such buddings as these ' college buildings wiil cost from $40,000 to $50,000 each. The important point is that the ' i workmanship in *<hese stone structures is done by native talent. A vast amount of cement is used to tie the I stone together, a^d it would require '! .something like" a trc pica! earthquake ; to jar one from its foundation. During the fine weather consider' | able headway was Made on the hos' pital. This building is to be of Tenn ! essee brick, with concrete basement * | and concrete floors throughout and i steel win uu uscu wuetc nwu ia I - usually employed for building and the ' building wiil be absolutely fireproof, ; so there will be no more danger of ' fire than there would be in a vault. 1 The hospital is to have a heating - plant in the basement, a laundry, 5 three sun parlors and all equipment 1 and appliances are to be mordern and f up-to-date in every respect. It will ~ require an expenditure of something ~ like from (40,000 to (50,000 to construct and equip this hospital and i grade and beautify the surroundings j ?Charlotte Observer.
