types of literature. One of our

=on Keyes, has something to offer
high school students as well as
tdults in her book "Came a Cav
alier." The first aim of the au
thor is to entertain. The purpose

France and delights to pay gen
erous tribute to the fine quali
ties of the libecty-loving French.

BOONE. NORTH CAROLINA
FFA BOYS BUY
, FINE LOT EWES
Local sheepmen agreed that the
Cove Creek FFA members knew
a good thing w he they saw it,
when they recen^p bought the
best group of non-registered ewes
ever to come to Watauga county.
The young farmer* located some
young bred ewes in Tazewfil
county, Virginia, that were pure
bred. but not registered. They
were out of one of the best flocks
in the county, founded on the fa
mous Burkes Garden Flocks.
The FFA chapter bought four
of the ewes and placed them with
two of its members, Tommy Prof
fitt and Winford Smith, to set up
a chain sheep project. They keep
the ewes and return to the chap
ter a ewe for each one they re
ceived. After they have returned
as many ewes as they receive, the
original ones become their per
sonal property. The ewes that are
returned to the chapter are then
distributed to other members and
the chain gets longer. In addi
tion to the two chapter ewes.
Tommy purchased two more to
give him a nice small flock.
Other members who bought
ewes are, Sherwood Bingham 4.
Sherman Bingham 3, Herndon
Mast 2, Jay Teams 2, Clint Tes
ter 2 and Ray Ward 4. The boys
have had the ewes less than two
weeks and some of them now
have lambs. All these young
sheepmen are expecting to show
their lambs at the Tri-county
Lamb Show in Boone in June.
The sheep project is but one
of the many livestock and crop
projects being carried on in the
county by the Future Farmers
and 4-H Club members. All of
these projects deserve the whole
hearted support of parents, farm
ers and business men.

Since the rumor was put af
float some weeks ago that Lute
Banner had gone to Raleigh and
surrendered to the penitentiary
authorities, and began his service
at SO years for the killing of
Ambrose Cline about a year ago,
the papers have had much to say
about U. The Attorney General
haq- informed the solicitor that
Banner never came to the pen,
and now some of our contem
poraries are surmising that he la
in Watauga and visits his home
at intervals. How this is, we an
unable to say, but we have been
told that he has not been seen
in public, at least on Banner Elk,
since the election. We have been
told also that , his bond, $8,000,
was arranged before his depar
ture, and that the full forfeit will,
be paid when demanded by the
court.
