flie Watoa Democrat Ihursdayy June 24, 18UT. Although Watauga county Is far from railroad and lo cated on the summit side of the Ultie Rridge, it has, per haps, more than an average number of professional men. There are something like 40 ministers of the Gospel a tnong the various denomina tions. While few of them claim to be educated men, yet they are all Bible stud ents. He believe their influ unce has done a great deal to give to our county that mor el and religious character that has honored her so much for these many years. We want to encourage good preachers of all denomina tions. While Watauga is known far and wide as a summer resort, she has 12 doctor" and they. all get practice enough to make a good living. Ah to the law yers, we hnve five and a j - j judge. Our legal talent will compare with any near this blnce. While there is not much litigation among our people our attorneys get a good practice in adjoining counties, and in the Federal and Supreme courts. And we might add that we have same good architects and merchanics. Go over this county and see the many fine houses and good barns, and you will think the carpenteis have been busy. We cannot here speak of the many suc cessful merchants. Winn we mention schools, we feel that We are behind for there is not a school in this county that had a 10 months session last Jear, but the prospects are growing brighter, and we trust we are in he morning of a sonny day for schools. Having noticed the cata logues of many of our lead ing colleges, we believe that the edu-ationa! interest of ftorth Carolina was never better. The university in our opinion, is one of the greatest schools in the South. Trinity College has raised her Standard higher. Her fine buildings, strong faculty and eminent Presidents gives Trinity very high standing among tho College. David son College is doing some of the best work in the State. This school is noted for her modesty and thoroughness. Wake Forest is the pride of the Baptist people of North Carolina. It is probably thf strongest endowed and best equipped college in theState. Guilford and Elon are com ing to the front. North Car olina ha many reasons to be proud of her higher insti tutions of learning. Is she not ahead ot any State that touches her?

A. Hill was blown to pieces with powder or dynamite. A considerable amount of pri vate funds of the above nam ed, together with about $150 ol government funds and $100 worth of stamps were taken. A small hole about one-fourth of an inch in di ameter was drilled about the centre of the top of the safe in which the explosive was in sorted. The interior of the safe was considerably scorch ed. Fifteen dollars, togeth with a few stamps, were left lying on the floor near the s a f e. Taylorsville Corres pondence Statesville Landmark. OASTOniA. nth. Umili StfUlUN If ll o BRYAN AUA1N. "Bryan is the ' legitimate and logical candidate of all the silver forces for Presi dent in 1900. This is the emphatic and unqualified opinion of Sena tor Teller, who has returned to Wasnington and was in his swU in the Senate cham ber yesterday for the first time in several week. . He looks benefitted by his need ed rest, and was' given a most cordial greeting by his colleagues, who, without re gard to party, have for him the highest respect. "As time rolls on," he con tinued Mr. Tellers "Bryan will be more and niore the legitimate and logical candi date. I believe he will be the pommee of the silver forces in the next national cam paied, (hi that-tbereywill be no difficulty irrwjmbfning on him." Senator Teller will remain here until the end of the ses sion. Dots From Valle Crncis. Editor Demoa 'at. Theschool isgrowing; both fn interest and number. Our people may well be proud of it and, indeed, fortunate, in haiving such a faculty.

You get a little weaker each day without hard ly noticing it. There Is loss of appetite, headache, weakness of the muscles, disturbed sleep, weakness of memory, and these are the beginning of nervous prostration Iron and tonics 0 . 6 while Prof. Niclio eafkOil 1 seems They wouldn't and bitters may afford some temporary relief, but what you need is a food for body, brain and nerves. ScctH 6muf sien, of Cod-liver Oil with the Hy pophosphites, furnishes just the nourishment needed for those who are run down and pale and thin and weak.

The Sunday Sunday at Banner Eik, has kindly invit ed the Valle Crucis Sunday School to join them in a pic nic at Banner Elk the 10th, prox., and of course we will go bur some seem to think it would not 'be fair' for each teacher to take his class. The Khv. Adam has return ed fiom his Northern trio. I look ing rather fatigued. Laikin Calloway, who ftas very sick a week ago, is much better and at work again. Taylor and Mast are carry ing a nice stock of goods find their trade seems to be in creasing. Farmers are very busy in their crops when the rain will allow them to be, The fruit crop is rather light, but we think plenty for home consumption. The Shawneehaw and Valle Crucis Turnpike Co., are do ing good work on this end ot the road, having made u good bridge over the saw mill creek, and made other needed improvements. TA. V. Something to Depend Ou. Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones & &on,('owden, 111., in speaking ot )r.
