(' Greene oi Fleetwood having an accident with their car which was driven by Mr. Lemiey. The machine left the roau and plunged over an embankment, and turned over c?imn-M-olv thro.. ?.r more times. Mr. Lemloy was very much shaken up and sustained injuries about his shoulders which almost dislocated one of them. Mr. Greene v as also slightly injured in the mishap. Mr. A. G. Moretz was stricken recently with a light stroke of paralysis and at this writing remains unimproved. it is noted that the Sugar Grove * orrespondeni gives a ran on the boasting .-pirit that hangs around and about Deep Gap. We however believe the vviiter was mistaken or. this score for the folks at Deep Gap are "one in all for Deep Gap" and mean every word that has been spoken in reference to building thi.- place up. Wi do hope however that no one will be so narrow minded as to 'r* jealous of what we are going to do for Deep Cap. Mr. W. A. Watson has recently added a 'val estate business and hay listed lots ami small farms for sale around Deep Gap. If you have property in a radius of ten miles from here he would like to get in touch with you if you wish to sell and place it on the market. The invalid sister of the Watson sisters has recently arrived and is living with Misses Theodosia and Fawn. We hope our mountain climate win nave tmicn ro cio in restoring her from illness to good health. We had quite a lot of rain all last week. Here's hoping old sol will show his old face again with a sunbeam smile that will dry up the mud ami water everywhere at our feet. 1 he next ice cream social will be held at Rocky Point school house Saturday evening at the usual hour.

We believe he is right as he has done his work well, The Yellow Ford was quite a draw ing card in the town 01 Boone, we noted in last week's issue. There should be a half dozen yellow or golden colored cars to form a line and march into the "West Cove of Wilis" and draw out the bootleggers or rush them off from job lotting fire water that so often flows into Watauga.

THURSDAY SF.PTEM3E POULTRY MEETINGS?NONPA V ING HENS GO TO MTRKET The Poultry Department of the Ex .ension division has agreed to .-end :i man to Watauga county for u week o instruct the farmers in the art and science of separating the laying hens from those hens that lay few or no at all. This poultry expert will n the county during the week ->f September 29 October ! and will be At the following places on the following dates: Monday September 29. Meat Camp in Gree n Valley at 2 o'clock; Tuesday September :.0 at Beaver I)amat W. W. Wilson's at 10 o'clock: Wednesday October 1. Mabel at Dr. Greer it 10 o'clock and at Don ,J. Morton's in the afternoon of the same day at 3:30; Thursday October 2 Vilas, at Grady Bradley's at 10 o'clock; in the iiternoon of th< same day he will be at Boone, place of the meeting still open. On Friday October 3 he will be cither at Windy Gap or Stony Fork, the time and place of meeting will be advertised at A. G. Miller's -tore; Saturday October 1 at 10 o'clock he will be on Elk, culling the flock of Miss Eliza Wheeler. Any person, man or woman whoi keep as many as icr. hens will find) it profitable to attend one of these lemons rat Ions The purpose of the! meetings are not to show these indipduai farmers lu?v; to cull out their! boarder hens or cull them out for them, but is to afford the community %n opportunity to come together and see this work done in fact actually lo it themselves before the meeting is over o t; -y can go hack home and xo through their owe flock in the aim way. If half the hens in Wail ga County were culled out and sold ltd "f the feed which has been g< ng to the whele flock was then fed e the half remaining '.vi- would then jet a great many more egg . Practically every her; will lay a few eggs in the spring during the inu- <?f year when we are si tting tu*;e and raising chicks so we are just as apt to raise our future flock from the poor producers as we aie from the good hens, s soon as spring las passed and eggs get high agin hese poor hens quit laying and spend he rest of lhe year giving us the ileasure of watching them eat. There are two ways of picking out hese unprofitable bird.s. One is by jsing trap nests which catch the hens a her. th?\v go or. to lay and keeps hem there until you 1*0 and take her >ut, ^ret a number and place an egg her on the tally sheet. Practically to farmer has time to watch hens n this way. The other method is ? examine the conformation of the and by being familiar with the onformat ioii of producers and non-' nodiu'crs any individual is able to nek out the hens that will not lavj ough eggs to bo profitable. This is! he method that will be followed in he culling demonstrations next week, fhafc shis kind of work can be done being demonstrated every day. The >wners of the flock that is culled :e\t v.eek will be asked to place the owls culled out ill some place-where hey can be watched for a lew day? o determine whether or not the work v:ts well done. The result of these' ieinonstrations will he inte resting. Those who are interested in ppi.lry and are trying to give their flock easonable attention should not miss his opportunity. There are some faruers in Wautuga tha: arc making icuitry keeping the most profitable enterprise on the place. One lady an a contest with her husband and proved that her little flock of poulry was bringing in a great deal more profit than his herd of cattle. There hould be many more like this. If y*ou are in business for the profit hat you can get out of it these cull - r?g demonstrations wilt be worth the vhiie. dOHX B. STEELE. Co. Agent. BOONE BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday school 10 a. m.
