"Dan Cupid" was 011 the job in Watauga County hist year an*, as a result of his amorous designs, sixtyone couples?young, middle-aged, old; sentimental, conservative, staid? took the matrimonial route. These figures are based on the number of licenses issued by Register of Deeds Helen Uiulerdown. Many of them were Cor couples ft out other counties ??..? ou>vu, i>ui wuiie oueae young; people were baying; the vows here, scores of Watauga couples were being joined in wedlock across the Tennessee line in Johnson County. It is believed that this number would probably exceed the alien lovers who have brought their "troubles" to Watauga's capital. During 11131 only four divorces wore granted in Watauga, m one for every fifteen and a fraction marriages, a comparison which would do credit' to any county in the State.

Untold hundreds of dollars have been raised to alleviate the hunger of famished Orientals. Dollars earned on Watauga farms and in Watauga enterprises have j been the purchasing agents for bread ro sustain the lives of Chinese, iJaps, Russians and Koreans. Today I ihe scene of want Has shifted to the heart of our own nation, and untold j thousands of American families are ^facing utter starvation. The Administration at Washington has not, and probably will not, appropriate one psingle dollar for their succor. The only agency that has the facilities to carry on the tremendous work is the American Red Cross. They are on Ihe scene now. feeding thousands, but funds are rapidly (iinunj*jshing and unless they are replenished at once, the great, nuniunitar; ian work must cease. "While Watauga l as tasted to a certain degree the present financial depression, there ?s no danger of one of its citizens dying this winter from lack ot nourishment. Food is plentiful and, according to many, money . is practically as free as in former j.yeais. 'The people or Watauga never fail in a crisis' has become a popular expression throughout Western North Carolina, and if they will consider the horrible aspect of good, white, industrious American people, starving through no fault of theirI own, they will not fail now. Study' [ the matte)' over carefully, and if you I have one single dollar tliat you think i will not bo needed to keep ihe 'wolf* from your own door, send ii in to headquarters."

The failure of several banks in this se^tToh ana the consequent whisperings which are so often disastrous to sound institutions, prompted this action, and, the response was practically unani-' nious, those refusing to sign proba-i bly numbering not more than fifteen.

Watt H.

Mr. Gvagg predicts that much bunding will take place in Watauga during 1931. and firmly believes that prosperity of the old-time variety is "just around the comcv."
