Sorry to hear of the death of one of friend Calvin Green's little children, which occured on Monday. The lit tie child had been euffering for some time with scarlet fe ver, hot the immediate cause ol her death was an acute at tack of raeningetis. His oth ker two children have scarlet fever, and the latest news is that they are yery low. It seems that theappoint ment of a post master at Blowing Rock is a matter that is hard indeed to settle by the powers that be. More than a month ago it was giy en out that H. C.

The outlook is good, unleBa our propects are chilled by a few citizens win have inducement they might offer: but good money into their 0 n pockets and thereby encourage the wnter prise; S-hriff Hodges has n o t yt settled with the State, and there is no money with whirt to pay the school vouchers now coming in. Why is it that on each leceipt giv en by the sheriff for taxes the State, school, county and oth er taxes are made out in sep arate items, yet the; school teachers have to wait foi their money until the entire State tax is paid off? To be sure mui'h of the money with which th State i paid be- longto our school fund.
