Miss Nannie River*, who opened
school at Penlpy Fue&d&y of last

to her home Saturday. An
outbreak of whooping cough in hei s

a nice little business here for
several months. He left Tuesday,
and JVlrs. Ashley followed yesterday,
having disposed of her stock, and
bade farewell to Boone for a while,
at least. They are of the opinion
that later on, when Mr. Ashley can
get work in his line in Boone (that
of machinist) they will buy property
and build a home here. Mrs. Ashley
leaves many friends hei'e, who were
sorry to see her leave.
Mr. Casey whose illness in a Bristol

getting on very satisfactorily under
the care of Dr. Anders. Mrs. Casey
and their two torn- . of Gastonia, are
here,* and will remain -iiitil there is
some ladical change in Mr. Casey'
condition.
The people of the town were somewhat
surprised Saturday evening
when they heard of the marriage of
our esteemed friend, Mr. H H. Green
to Mrs Milton Mast, formerly Miss
Floy Cottrell. The ceremony was
performed by Pastor Hoggins at the
home of the bride, at 8:30 .Saturday
evening. Mr. Greene is Sec-Treas.

he has proved himself most efficient.
Mr and Mrs. J. P. Wilson, of
Sweet Water, were visiters in Boone, (
Monday, and called to renew their j ,
ubscription. They say they are not ,
petting more than half their papers.]
regardless, of the fact that their bun- (
ile reaches the post office every week. ^
I'hcre is a reason, and it will be in- j
instigated if this irregularity is not ;
overcome. A person who wishes to :
read a paper should buy and pay for i (
t, as the Wilsons do, and maybe the t
problem would be solved. (

MUSI STOP CARRYING OVERDRAFTS
The State Bank Examiner. Mr..
I Darden, of Raleigh. N. 0., has been j
making the Annual examination ofj
the banks of the County during the j
last week. The only criticism we j
hear at all is that the banks of thej
mountain sections carry some over- j
drafts. A practice which the Examiner
says must be discontinued. This
j is a ruling which our local banks say
they will have to follow to the letter.
Let us suggest that the patrons of
the banks keep a iittle closer tab on
' their Bank accounts and thus save
embarrassment to all.
