Watauga Democrat Rcbert C. Rivers, Editor and Proprietor. l HunsDAY, Oct. ?6,1899. Brookslde Letter. Editor Democi at: That was n tunny teligions meeting the other day up in Minnesota. They resolvedlst: That all oui grand acquisi tions in the Philippines is the plain work of Providence. Re solved 2nd: that all honor is due to our soldiers and sail ors for their grand achieve ments in the Philippines. This reminds one much of the old lady, who, when her horse ran down hill, said she trusted in the Lord till the biitchin' broke, and theu she 'gin' it up. But serionsly how ran a re ligious body indorse this war of conquest? How can men claiming Christianity believe that Providence has any hand in the unholy condition no found in our new posses sions? A secretary of a mis sionnry society in Baltimore has just returned from the Philippines and is now ma king his report to his society, presided over by Bishop Doan. He says among other things that when we took pos eessions of Manila there were only one or two saloons there, but now there, but now there are 430, thus justi fying the statement that has been made that more barrels of intoxicants than Bibles have been shipped to these islands since they fell into our hands. These saloons, he sn j 8 are all typical of the wee tern borders of former days. He avers that Americans have made Manila a "hell hole" and concludes by say ing it is impossible to do any mission work successfully un til the Americans are restrain ed trom their gross immor ality, He adds that the dis gust of the nations at the un jrodly conduct of Americans is so great that it ennnot un der existing circurretanccs, be overcome, and does not advise his mission to make any more efforts. What a picture to accuse Providence of being the au thor of! H. A. D. Brookside, Oct. 21. Superintendent Mebare is making loud and strenuous calls for total absrainance in the State. We admire hiszal and persistence in the mat ter, but oh! the ages that will roll by bfore the people will be made to see that it is filthy to use tobacco and soul destroying to use the juice of the vine. What a hap PT day it would be if both habits were wiped out of ex istence. Just, so long as whis key is made, ju6t that long the people will use it. The msnn'acturer is more respon siblefor the whiskey curse than the consumer. War has begun in earnest in the Transvaal. A recent , dispatch from Cape Town states that 300 Ztoersand 18 British have been killed in a battle at Mafeking. Gen. Bui er sailed from Southampton on Saturday for South Afri ca. His people gave him a royal send off. He is said to be a man of blood and iron and it is ex Dec ted that he wil slaughter without mercy. En gland has double the fight mg force or the Ttansvaa and the Orange Free State. A uew depot is being buil in Newton to take the place of the one lately burned. It is being built on the site o theoldont. A Tribcto to the Lite Dr. L. C. Uteres On the morning of October the 8th, 1599, while a dark cloud hung over the lit tie vil lage of Blowing Hock, one of our happiest homes was sad dened by tht departure of a noble spirit. It was in the early morning, ere the birds had begun to sing their mor ning hymn, that the immor tal part of Dr. L. C. Reees passed into the eternal Sab bath, "That sweet rest that remains for the people of God." "Words on tombstonware vainly spent." An upright life is the only monument, that will last and not crumble and decay nnder the devastating finger of Time." Dr. Reeves had builded a noble monu ment for himself in life. Kind, sy m h t hetic, pa tien t , his pres ence was a benediction in the homes to which his profes sion called him, and in which he will be sadly missed. His death has left a vacan cv that it seems will be hard to fill, in his home and in the community areaching hearts none can relieve. We trust hat theylmay live looking to Him who has said, "I will be a Father to the fatherless," and that "I will never leave thpe nor forsake thee." How sadlv we will mies him as a citizen and a physician, but how great his gain. He buckled on the christian ar mor when quite a youth and ived the life of a devoted up right christian, and when the end came it found him ready and willing to go, and while our hearts are throbbing with anguish at oar loss, he is singing redemption's sto ry in Heaven'sshiuingconrts. So ends a life that each and . m every one must teei was a good one. In him we had pre sented to our youth an exam pie of true living. In bis home was love and kindness, and his youthful widow and little children will miss the sweet and gentle presence gone rom them. Maj the dear ones meet him again in the ight of the better world. On the morning of the9th, a aad procession left his home to pay the last sad tribute to all that was mortal of our esteemed friend and neighbor. The body was carried to Boone, where in the presence of one of the largest crowds ever assembled there, he was laid to rest. May the loved ones meet him again, and iortn an un broken family in heaven. M. E. W. Blowing Rock, Oct. 21. r Does the ! Baby Thrive If not something must be 7 wrong with lis food.

The Historian of t h e church gave many thrilling instances of 1 he devotion and self sacrifice to their church of the pioneer Baptist ol Covo Creek. music furnished by the organ ist, Miss Judie Parlier. assis. ted by the singers of Cove Creek and Zionville, was ex cellent. The sermons of Revs. Sher wood and Jones need no praise to the Watauga peo ple. To the praise of the good ladies ot the communi ty, we heard many exclaim: "Cove Creek ladies know how to prepare a basket dinner." Rev. Raper has just closed an interesting meeting at Henson'9 Chapel. Mrs. George Swift, since her return from Oklahoma, has placed three of her children in school at Cove Creek Acade my; The school was farther increased by the entrance this week of Miss Maggie Henson of Amantha, and Mr. Roy Wilson, of Silverstone. Prof. Rogers showed abili ty by securing the services of Miss Parlier. She is not only having success in teaching music, and showing ability as an educator, but her con tact with our people is being felt for good, Resp. . Wiley Shebwood.
