We conclude from observa '
tions that the associations
and other large religions as
semblies will have to change
their plans and get rid of a
rabble element which now in
variably attends these meet
infra A nnmhar nf villi.

reckless, drunken, men are
always on hand to disturD
the congregation. They lo
cate a short distance from
the church house generally
on the main road. Here they
sell whisksy water-melons,
cakes, cider, etc., keeping up
a general carousal. Some of
these fellows have their hip
pockets ornamented with a
pistol. Their actions are
more like high-way-men and
not like civilized people.
They come from all sections
of the county and are from
other counties and tbey all
' like birds of a feather flock
together," they seem to know
each other as they do kins
people. They get on their
horses and run up and down
the roads like a maraud
ing band. They mny enjoy
this sport and think it harm
less and entertaining, but to
others it locks like lawless
ness and ridiculous and
should be dealt with severely.
There is a statute against
this sort of conduct, why not
enforce it? The sheriff ought
to be on hand on buch oc
casions. The association held a t
Brushy Fork church last
week passed oft quietly and
pleasantly with ths excep
tion of a wild rabble of whis
key men located a few hun
dred yai Js below the church
where tbey caroused and
drank and sold whiskey. A
man by the name of Brinkley
Jumped on a young man by
the name of Jim Mast and
struck him several licks on
the head and face with steel
Inucks cutting him severely.
Brinkley was arrested and is
now in jail failing to give
bond in a sum of $500. The
large crowd of people attend
ing the association were or
derly and,behaved,leingcom
posed of our best class of peo
pie. The number oi people
there onWednesday was reck
oned at from 1200 to 2,000,
certainly a large crowd was
there. We noticed the pro
portion of the assembly were
a greater number of young
men and women than we us
ually see. The Watauga
people showed very ad rant
ageously in the young peo
pie all neatly dressed with
i .
giowing neaith nnu appar
ent happiness.
The 'Citizen' says a travel
ing bolloon, the start and
destination of which are un
known, passed over Asheville
late Tuesday afternoon. The
airship, which was a huge
one and appeared to have
car attached, was seen about
6:45 by Dr. W. P. Whitting-
ton, H. Betterham and J. B

of the aerial traveler. On
