In this will there in no need of my mentioning how many rings Professor Greer has given' Mies Bridge. .It is also needless for me to say anything about the English and History courses for anyone canook at the Professors and say, "Ob, pitiable class!" Morever, we ha ye ridden the Latin pony through with but few wrecks and most of these were causd by our not be ing able to scan. We are now prepared to rest in peace beside the quiet river and wail .until Prolessor Downum comes with his correct time and saye. "It it time for the judgment; blow the trumpet." We therefore declare ourf-elyes today dignified seniors and, having been successful in a few things we expect to be made rulers over many, things.

Editor Democrat: Every enter prise must stand or fall on its own merit. But when an enterprise is an institution devoted to the pubic good, it deserves the support of that public to which it ministers. I wish to congratulate the Demo crat upon its loyalty to Watauga county. Its voice has always been potent in aeiense oi inis lavorea sec tinn. The Training School and other institutions have always received the cordial support and encouragement of your excellent publication. Thus (he Democrat is f ultlUinw the best object of a county paper. It not only gives the news; but it gives space to that which interests and upbuilds. Some good judges have declared that the Democrat is the best paper ot its kind in the State. A host of readers concur in this opinion. Those heretofore ignorant of conditions in Watauga are to hear and be conyinc ed. The usefulness of tbe Democrat is bouud to increase. We want tbe flashlight of publicity turned on this section. We don't need missionaries sent to us; we need to send them to others. As always, the Democrat will be in the lore front of this fight for justice to our section and our people Strength to it I IRA T. JOHNSTON Boone, N. C Cruelty to Animals. " Every mail contractor is required to see. that the animals used in car rying the mails must be suitable for the work and properly cared for; al so, that cruel treatment of an animal while in the' performance of the ser vice will be considered cause for im posing a flue on the contractor, and requiring the dismissal of the driver or rider. Therefore, all that any one has to do when they see a crippled or half fed horse or mule being rid den or driven while carryiug the mails is to drop a postal card to the Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener al, Washington, D. C. and the con tractor, rider and driver will be dealt wiih accordingly. It is also against the law of North Carolina to treat any animal cruelly, whether while carrying the mails or not, and the grand jury and Solid tor are sworn to indict and prosecute all violators of such law.

He in tended saying that our highly honored fellow citizen, Mrs. Hal fleCouncill Reeves, because of ber great kindness to tbe sick and afflicted, is "every 'jody's friend'' a title well earned by her.

The many automobiles lying around town when not flying a bout town lend quite an air of up-to-dateness and though tbe peaceful air of this old time re sort has forever gone, yet, with all the grunting and purring and screeching and bowling of the many machines, rushing to nod ro, and gay parties autoing far into the country, returning in the "wee small" hours of tbe night, awaking from sound sleep more than one tired citizen, not-. withstanding the drawbacks con nected with tbe introduction of tbe "new-fangled notions," we citizens of Blowing Rock are glad that the auto has come to stay, and we feel satisfied that with better roads the automobile will be a good substitute for the steam engine and its train of hoped for cars.
