the old horse formerly owned
by Mr. L. B. Banuei. This
noble animal was purchased
by Mr. Banner in the year

He was indeed a lucky
horse, as he lived to the ripe
age of uic)iethanthirtyyears
He was also lucky to have
a good home from the
time, he was two years old.
It was Mr. Banner's request
a short while before his death
thai the old horse should be
kept by the family till he
died, and the request was
carried out. He vaspe haps
the oldest horse in Watauga
County. L. I). L.

the system and t hecatarrh hdoii
follows suit. Local treatment is
only a waste of time.
