This Sept, 4th, 1906.
T. A. Cable,
Quite u crowd of people
in town Monday, and sever-.
alofthe candidates of both
political parties were also
here, and we Buppose quite a
little lot of political talk was
indulged in by the local poll
tictans.
Among the students who
will represent Watauga roun
ty at the State Normal and
Industrial College this fall
are Mioses Rosalie Mc Bride,
of Sugar Grove, Margaret
Hulcber, of Todd, Grace
Blackburn, of Boone, and
Misses Ruth Reeves and Ola
Peudley, ot Blowing Rock.
The Fourth Quarterly Con

and continue the services up

Mr. A. 8. Edmlsten, whose
serious illness we mentioned
last week, died at 10, o, m.,
last Monday. He was strirk
en with paralysis at t h e
home of bin son, R. F. Ed-
misten. on the Monday be

one of our best men has been
gathered home, and the com
muntty mourns.
Da venDOit College at Le

Edna Holsrlaw. of Vilas, one
of the faculty, passed thro'
Monday. Missses SnmaLit
tie, .Florence Blair, Cora
Blair, of this community, al
so left for that institution
this week. A brighter beyy of
young ladies never left the
county for school, ana we
shall expect a good report
from them.
The following Watauga
yoorg men have left and
will leave for the University
of North Carolina this week:
Robv Green. R. T. Greer and
Oscar Hardin, of Blowing
linrk. and I. G. Greer, of Ma
ble, and perhaps others. Wal
ter Staubory also left won
rlAv for Trinity College where
he will take bis thi'd year'

every one of the worthy
young men.
Appalachian Tuning Scaool
has orjeued . erandlv this
time. The senior class this
year Is large, perhaps there
will be lo.
The dormitory is doing
well. It is one ofthe best eaoio
ped homes in the county,
with good spring water flow
ing always into the building.
Again the location is ideal
being in a sheltered place,
well protected from the
storms. The floors are all
doubled. The building storm
sheeted and well ceiled. The
yonng ladies will come out
of the home into the school
building without being the
leaBt exposed.
The influence of this school
will help many communities.
Good strong local schools
can be establish ed w i t h
efficient teachers, When the
Training Bchool gives to a
neighborhood a good teacher
it has helped that community
wonderfully, when it Rives
to the teacher an opportuni
ty to gather knowledge and
inspiration, at a small cost,
it has helped those teachers.
Within a fsw years all the
people of the mountain belt
will be helped.
Boone is a little Athens on
the Blue Ridge, Many young
people have wulked and will
upon uer streets. The people
of the town and community
have done what they could
to make this a pleasant
place for students. We wel
come and are alwava glad to
see students.
The Sunday school and
church appointments a re
good. The moral tone of
our people is excellent. The
social lifo is simple and re
fined. While there may be
some Weltering now and
then. We doubt if there be
anywhere a people that get
along more smoothly and
couiteouslv then ours. Had
It not been for this one thing
co-operation this school
long ago would heve failed,
We must not forget this.
