Mrs. David OroonefS-af Route 1.

in a Statesville hospital for some serious

urged the eminent divine tu try to
arrange to be present at meetings
whenever possible.
After considerable rain, sleet, etc.,
for the past few days, today (Wednesday)
we are experiencing a considerable
fall in temperature, and the
prospects for some real colu weather
are very good. In fact, the weather
rorecast is lor much cooler weather
throughout. the South.
Mrs. Annie Coffey left yesterday
morning for Charlotte to visit her
daughter. Miss Ruth, at the Charj
lotte Sanatorium. The latest news
from the popular young lady is to
the effect that she is improving very
uicelv as the broken limb is yielding
, beautifully to the treatment of the
1' eminent surgeon having the case in
charge.
? Says the Lenoir News-Topic: Mark
.? Squires suffered a painful injury to
his left wrist and his spine last Friday
when he slipped on the ice-covHBfcjMHjj&i
ered sidewalk at the home of his latd
law partner, J. W. Whisnant. While
his injuries were very painful, it was
not thought that he would suffer any
protracted inconvenience from them.
Our neighboring county of Caldwell,
regardless of high taxes and
\1 other public expenditures, paid in
hard cash so far this year, for auto
I license tags, the snug sum of $47.341).
Of course, we take it, that no
trouble is ahead for the taxpayers
of that good county, when the Sheriff
calls. Guess Watauga is about in the
same fix. for the autos must run.
Advices from Luther M. Bingham,
who is taking treatment at the National

American armies during the World
War.
