rood order, entusiastn and ar

ehnracterizfd the occasion. Lv
ery thing went on likeelork-work,
without confusion ore ongestiou
anywhere.
The gallery of the court room
was reserved for the faculty nnc
students ol the A. T. S., and th
space within the bar for the Con
federate veterans and those ta
king part in the exercises, while
the first three rows of seats in
the auditorium were used for the
Masonic fraternity. The foilow
ingjirbane and courteous stu
dents actid ns ushers: Grant
Donnelly, Lester lirowu, Robert
Pulliam, Rex Cox, Roone King
nnd Rovd Kirbv, every one of
whom has a Revolutionary an-
estry. The music was in charge
of I'ruf. I. (J. Greer nnd was most
effectively rendered from the gal
lery by a large number of excel
lent singers from the A.T. S. aud
the town of Boone. The following
songs were sung with fine effect
America, Star Spangled Banner,
Old North State, The North Car-
o'ina Hills, Doxology and Auld
Lmsr Syne, the latter on the
ground around the marker in
front of the court boue. Capt.
Edward F. Lovill presided with
dignity and courtesy. Prof Dow
nutn made the Invocation and
pronounced the benediction, Rev
Mr. Sherwood not being in at
tendance. Solicitor Frank A. Lin
uey also could not be present
buthis place was most admira
bly fill, d by Atty. E. S. Coffey,
whose short address was one of
the gems of the occasion.
The exercises in the court room
were not only interesting but yery
impressive, for the D. A. R, Del
egates gave their Ritual, consist
ing of most beautiful passages
and responses. Capt Lovill in an
el quent and forceful oration
gave an outline of the history
and work of the D. A. R's, and
emphasized the fa.'t that this pa
triotic society of patriotic ladles
were making as well as preserv
ing history. 11 then introduced
Mr. John I. Arthur, who had h
carefully prepared address on
"The Trail of Daniel Boone."
Prof, B. B. Dougherty responded
in a most graceful and apprecia
tive speech in which he spoke of
the importance of preserving his-
tory, and charactet ize.i the con
duct of the mountaineers at
King's Mountain as equal to or
batter than that ol the heroes of
Therrnopolae ot Waterloo. Mr.
Co gey 'a remarks won a grateful
resognition of the Daniel Boone
monument which was erected by
the efforts of Col. W. L. Bryan
ia the fall of 1912; and a rising
vote of thanks was given the lat
ter geutleman by the large and
representative audience which
tilled eyery seat in the court
room and gallery, wuile scores
and scores were forced to stand.
At the conclusion of these exerci
ses, at the suggestion of Capt.
Loyill, the audience in the court
room remained standing until
those in the gallery withdrew,
thus avoiding congestion in the
lobby and on the stairs.

Eiiitoh Democuat: I desire to
address a few remarks to the pa
triotic citizens of Watauga coun
ty. Our Governorthe lion. Locke
Craig, has issued his proclama
tion calling upon every patriot-
if citizen of North Carolina to
devote two days, the ,"th and
6th of Xoy., to working the public
roads in each and every county
io the Stale.
To my mind, this is a patriot
ic call, for the purpose of arous-
iug every public-minded citizen
in North Carolina to( the great
necessity of good roads. This
movement first started with the
Governor of Missouri, una our
Governor caught the spirit.
1 suggest that every citizen of
Watauga respond to the call bv
our Goyernor. Let'sshoulder our
shovels, picks and mattocks aud
march out on the days designa
ted, and do two good, old-time
honest days work. Lpr,
man work on the section of road
nearest to him. I further suggest
that we work under the direc
tion of our respective overseers,
or some one else having good
road sense, so that the work
done may be a permanent im
provement to the roads- I be
lieve Watauga county has as
many patrioiic and public-spirited
citizens within her borders
as any other county :n the State,
her population considered. Then
let's prove it by rtspoudinir to
the call of ourCuief Kxecutive. As
for me and my household, if not
providentially hindered, there
will be one man that will cheer
fully donate two day's work on
the Councill Gap road under the
supervision of Mr. Frank Ilorton
overseer, without any great out
burst or demonstration. Lettach
and every citizen, rich or poor.
old and young, march out in

movement that will install in
