Watauga'Democrat Thursday. Feb. 1, 1906. l DIM ff A f MM 111 if PpAHVIftlA HUE AI OBLIGATION1. NO 1. Dnij to Our Nelrbbore. Being moral creatures our selves and perfectly conscious of oar likes and dislikes of our wants, and often know our needs, and being fellow citizens in o great common wealth, weareahle to know our duty to our neighbor, if we will measure them by our nelvea. Hence, "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" is given by our Savioras cov ering our wholexdu'.v to men. It is not what we feel toward him but what wethink would be for his good. What we would like or dislike, or what we think we would need were weinhis place. Then treat him just as we would have ourselves treated. In this as In other moral obligations, there is the neg ative side as well as the affir mative, Every man has his rights to life, reputation and til's property, and none ever likes them injured or destroy el. This side of the question has ever been recognized by all people In all ages of the world. The idea that this is mine and you must let it a lone, is one of the first things of which we are conscious. Practically there needs very litt ie to be said on this 'side of the subject, especially to those who are at all dispos ed to do right. The' positive side is not so easy, We do not always like to do what we know to do. It is this side of thequestion. however, which 'placps .t h e Golden Rule of Christ far a- boye other moral codes; We must first inform' ourselves and tben'per form the deeds whatsoever we would have done to us. It is not kind to ask how he came in that con -dition, and it would be wick ed if it were just, to e v a d e helping him. The question is, what does he need now? This settled, there remains but one tiling to do, that is to help him just as we would like were we in his condition. This is as obligatory as to feed oar own children or our selves. If wo would keep the UommandmentshehkeChmt and obey his teachings, we cannot evade it and be guilt less. Another is that it becomes our imperative duty not to allow an evil to befall our neighbor if in our power to prevent it, but a good to fomc to him if we can grant it. AU these become the more binding;ben we remember that no man liveth to him self. Wo are not onlv mor ally bound for his sake, but we are dependent, relying up on and trusting each other. so much so that the thing which helps one promotes a-II promotes us indirectly. Though we are inclined to be selfish, this r so, but selfish news Is net admitted at all. Slf lore may, however, and is required and is the only rule by which we ran under stand the other man's nepds. it is moral obligations writ ten in thp hearts cf men that protect our homes and all oof interests;our welfare, our Jive and his all Income oiip. Woweto him the develop ment ol his nodal, mental and spirit uh powers that h may make us the bent neigh bor possible. Neithei can we txhise ourselves in this any more than in ourselves. De- fertB in him affect all: igno rance, disease, Kins are all Jane to nny peopb. So that lour Fnther in heaven is rer feet." we muFt overcome the evil and perform the good in ourselves and for our neigh bor. A man in ill henlth is not capable of filling his place in a community, So a feeble mind and a perverted heart is dangerous, In either case they do not know what is best for them, nor care. If Christians, we must know and heed our neighbors needs. V? are pur own anil our brother's keeper and we cun not shake off the respoiisibil ty. The caie of life and prop etty, the culture of the mind and fcoul Ol our neighbor and ourselves aie our daily du tips. J. H, Rkendall. On last Friday and Fri day night when our mnun tain section was having' such a beautitul fall of snow, the middle an ! aastern part ol the State were having a record-breaking alcet. Fro r Charlotte, Greensboro, Dur ham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill", and other places tome i f portH of much damage done. In some places wires were torn down, Btreet cars stopped. trains belated and trees bro ken to an extent nevr be fore thought of. In speaking of the wreck among the fine old trees on the campus at Chapel Hill, some reporter said that thirty years could not undo the work of those thirty ho'is of sleet. From farther South reports ofsleet and cold come. Even down in the City of Mexico the cold was so intense that th ofli cials had fires built in t h e streets for the poorand home less It does see in that the Dukes haye an unusual amount of trouble with their wives. J. 13. Duke is now suing for a divorce and it seems that his wilp has numberless com plaints to make against him also. For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby ; that is why babies are fat. If your baby is scrawny, Scott's Emulsion is what he wants. The healthy baby stores as fat what it does not need immediately for bone and muscle. Fat babies are happy ; they do not cry ; they are rich ; their fat is laid up for time of need. They are happy because they are comfortable. The fat sur rounds their little nerves and cushions them. When they are scrawny those nerves are hurt at every ungentle .touch. They delight in Scott's Emul sion. It is as sweet as wholesome to them. Snd for fr tarn pit.

The Charlotte News of the 20f h contains the folfow ing beautiful tribute to his m-inory: 'Yesterday affprnoon a t S;35 the soul of General Jo seph Wheeler was wafted from time into eternity. The greatm valry leader of the Confederate army passed a way quietly, t hecurtii indrop ped on the life ot one of Dix ie's most revered sons, and many there be today w h o think with a tear of regret of the gallant and biaveold sol dier, statesman and gentle man, Joe Wheeler. "Forths past fifty years General Wheeler has ben be fore the eye of the public and In the hearts of thousands of Americans, both North and South. He wrought for his coun try in the halls of Congress. He gave to the public the crisp products of his feitilt pen. But best of all he nuked his life hundreds of times in the service, not only of the Lost Cause .and thp South. but of the National Govern ment, A soldier, brave, true. commanding, dauntless I A man whom W9 all love and whose death we all -mourn. "Many an old and wan-vis aged son of the Confederacy will today hear of ths death otlheir great chieftain, and will mourn for him, 'We join in the sorrow ol his family, of his old coin radertof two wars ami with all who honor a gallant and true Southerner and Ameri ca u. He is gone, but his mem or.v is aa eternal boon which time can only brighten.'' Watatga Falls Items There was a considerable tide on the Watauga river Inst week Bennie Farthing, son of W. J. Farthing, is attending School at Walnut Grove In stitute. Elisha Glenn has just com pleted him a new resilience. Mr. George Edmistf n and Miss Hattie Walker were hap pily married a few days ago. Luther Ward is attending school at Heaver Dams. W. C. Walker is studying law at Boone. Alexander Thomas is build ing a residence on the waters of Watauga rivpr. As'soon as Loy Greer and Bud Furthiag marries, it will make twenty-five weddings in this part oi the county. 11. B. On last Saturday night C. D Wilkie, loial tditor.of the Rutherfordton Sun, of which he was founder, committed suicide at his home in t h a t place by shooting himself through the temple, it i thought that brooding over financial troublps was the cause of the rash act. He leaves a father, several sin ters and brothers, a voung wife and two small children. Dangers of a Cold and How to Avoid Thorn. Mere fatalities have their oripin r result from a void than from anv otner cause. 1 his fact alone should make people more careful as t'.iere is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Cham berlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this clheaNt. It acts on nature s plin loosens the cough relieves the lungs , opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy codition. Sold bv'all Dealers Boonf N. U. and Blowing Rock paug Co ' Obituary OcarC Fa w. son of J no. A. and Fannie Faw. was born in Watauga county Janua ry 24. 188G, and peacefully passed from this to the spir it world Dec 22, 1905. He contracted cold while trav eling a ear neo. which resu fed in consumption in spite of all the efforts to stay th dreadful disease. O.icar was a bright boy, and be will bp sadly misse'd. not only by the parents am two. brothers, but by the t eiirhbors and relatives; the church and Sunday school. of which' he was a fail bin member arid teacher. He was a uo-'mI boy at home, o kni and helpful to his mother. He was sick a long time and bore it with much pa tnce, He told his parents that he was going home to be with the loved ones gone before. His parents visiter him and friends talked and rrayidwith him, and he was n s sned to the nood Lord's will and ready to go, It seems hard for one just in the bloom of youth to be taken from our embrace, but we too must be resigned to our Heavenly Father's will, and may He comfort the sor rowing ones and may we t It meet where there is no more death.
