VOLUME XLII. NO. 31 [ HAiU)WAREMERG*R ANNOUNCED AFTER] COMPANY MEETING 5 tocfeboldera of Boone Hardware Company Sell Building, Stock and Fixtures to Farmers Hardware and Supply Company. Two Stores Will Be Operated Separately for Time Being. Plans Not Perfected. Following the session of the stockholders of the Boone Hardware Com(.any last Saturday afternoon, it was announced that a deal had been made - hereby the Farmers Hardware and Supply Company bceame the owners of the stock, building and fixtures, ;*nd that both businesses would like*y be combined as soon as practicable. There has been no official announcement of the consideration. It " < sfaited that while all papers incident to the closing of the trade have been executed, there is no likelihood of a hitch in the deal. All*. Clvde R. flrnnnp f???- mum' years manager of the Farmers' Hardware and Supply Company, and who is now engaged in inventory work in he newly-acquired stock,, will regain as general manager of both business houses, which for the time being will be operated in their respective buildings. Other details as to organization have not been perfected, but it is thought that at a ater date the stock of the original Farmers Hardware will be moved up I | the street to the Watauga Hank block where the Boone Hardware had been novated for many.years. In the merger of the hardware stores uf Boone, two of the largest *locks ?>f hardware in this section of The State will be thrown together, under the same management, into perhaps the largest store of the kind i Western Carolina; The Boone Hardware Company was organized in *921.0, and was managed by Mr. F. 1 Moore, principal stockholder, during! | the almost eleven years of its exist- j encc. A large stock has always been carried and a wide trade enjoyed. f its stockholders consisted in the main ' : f local citizens, there being seven in number. 1 The Farmers Hardware and Supply i Company has been in business in J this town for about six years and 1 during that period has enjoyed a re- * markable growth.

This crop wasj thrown by Stanly Norrts; a renter, j he' and Mr. Smith supervising the; curing and grading. The highest j. gfade sold, dork reds, brought 271 j cents per pound, and the lowest, j greenings, was sold for six cents.] Mr. Smith explains that one rack of I tobacco broke down in the field and| was not noticed until it had been': damaged considerably. He is of the. opinion that Watauga leaf should: lie placed on the market around the;' middle of December or the first of Jttiuaf-y, <*s iiie jii'iCca ?? ???--1Or bccome sluggish after that date. An official of the Livestock Association, which has been responsible to a large degree for the interest ta ken in tobacco culture by Watauga] farmers, declares that tobacco is des-j lined to become an important cashf. ctqpin^\vataugav but urges that sroaii acreages be cultivated. One-half acre to a farm is, he believes, an ample amount, and if this program is car__ ried out, tens of thousands of dol Jars in additional revenue win be re-J iilized by Watauga's farm papula-[ lion.

More than cloven hundred thousand rainbow, speckled and brown trout, ranging in |ize from fingei length to fourteen inches have been released in fishing waters of Watauga since last January, and it is believed that during the coming season sportsmen will have better luck :han at any time for seyeial years.
