The attention of the various
Masonic Lodges of Watauga Co.,
andLinvifle Lodge, of Mitchell
county, is callad to the fact that
May 6, 1907, has been set to
pass on an Annual Picnic to be
held by said Lodges for the bene
fit of the Oxford Orphanage. We
earnestly hope that each of said
lodges will have a full.'attendance
at the meetings immediately pre
ceding said time, and discuss the
matter thoroughly. The matter
is one of no small import,
and demands the attention of
every member of the lodges ham

Friend Jerry Ray, one of Wa
tauga's best farmers, is experi
menting on a small scale, with
spring-sown wheat. On last Mon
day he sowed three bushels of
seed with 400 pounds of the
best commercial fertilizer he could
buy, Oh a well prepared piece of
land " He is of the opinion that
the experiment will be a success,
from the factjthat last year he
spread some chaff from his straw
stacks on a piece of ground and
turned it under in preparing for
a crop, and the scattering wheat
grains came up, grew finely and
reached full maturity.

The County Singing which was
held at Three Forks in March
1907, was a very enjoyable occa
sion.
The three classes that were
present united in singing No. 28
in "Windows of Heaven No. 3,"
after which, E. J. Norris lead in
prayer. .
On motion, "Perfect Praise"
adopted in connection with the
other books for the present year.
After the transaction of busi
ness, adjourned for one hour for
dinner.
The congregation re-assembled
and the classes were arranged
for singing. There being no con
test entered into with the classes,
Poplar Grove, Mt. .Vernon and
Howards Creek, sang pieces ol
their own selections. Then the
classes united in singing No. 57
in Windows of Heaven No. 3 and
the people were dismissed by E.
J. Norris.
The next singing will be held
at Brushy Fork, on Friday be
fore the fourth Suuday in May
1907. . .:
The association gives any one
in the county the priviledge of
leading a choir in our county
singing. , .
We hope to see more classes
present in our county singing
than ever before.
