"Ox last Wednesday there
was a heavy snow-storm in
Watauga, the mountains
were white with snow." We
clip the above from one of
our valuable Exchanges.
We remember that day, as
being: "one of the suniest,
brightest, balmiest days of
this spring. The sun shone
warmly and brightly. The
birds sang their sweetest
songs. The flowers of end
less variety and hue lifted
their sweet faces to catch the
nun's warm rays. The smil
ing valleys laughed in beau
ty. The farmer's merry
whistle was to be heard on
the mountain sides as he
tramped through the warm
soil, behind the mettlesome
horses, preparing the soil for
the nbundant crop, he will
besuieto reap. In fact, it
was one of those days that
make us feel as if we would
like to live always in ''this
great wide wonderful beauti
ful world." Yes friend the
heaviest snow storms we have
in the mountains in May, are
of rose-leaves and dog-wood
blossoms.

On Monday a number of
the old soldiers met in the
court house for the purpose
of appointing committees of
arrangement for theencamp
ment at the reunion at Blow
ing Rock the first Thursday
in Sept.
'Commodore' Clark, of
Blowing Rock, was made
chairman and J. W. Hols

a committee consisting of
J. C. McGhee. R. II. For

Corpening, B. J. Green and
blensthe fire originated in
one of the stalls near tliecen

be very audacious for any
one to perform such fiendish
tricks in daylight. Mr John
son estimates his loss to bo
abont $500.
We are expecting rather a
boom along the line of court

supplying the boys and girls

Editor Democrat:
As it is raining to-day I will
give you a few items of pass
ing events in our vicinity.
Corn planting is done, and
wheat is sorry. Pastures and
meadows are fine, no peach
es but apples are plenty. A
quantity of buck-wheat is te-
sown, which is a good
as the wheat cron is
short. Mr. Noah Mast, has
his large barn nearly com
pleted. Allen Harman was
fortunate enough to-day to
catch a carp out of Cove
Creek that weighed 4 lbs.
Mr. Jo. Ward recently cut
his right foot very badly. He
had just gotten oyer the
j happiness. Thepcrsuits and
j a vocations of our country
men are as indispensible for
the public good, as are thein
tricate machinery of a clock
or watch to keep good .time.
So let statesmen makegood,
just and equal laws ; let the
lawyers defend the law and
justice; let the doctors cure
the sick; let the preachers
preach the gospel; let the
merchant sell his goods and
let the farmers make bread
and meat for all, and my
motto is, let all be equally
protected by the law. The
two great commandents are,
"Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God, with all thy heart,
with all thy soul and with all
thy mind." This is the first
and great commandment,
and the second islike unto it.
"Thou shalt love thy neigh
bor as thyself." And again
we are commanded to do un
to all men as we would have
all men do unto us. This is
called the Golden rule. Hut
alas! poor liuman nature,
how few, oh how few, live up
to those great and glorious
comnirnandments. R..V. W.
