As a result of the feariul hail
storm on last Sunday, many of
the farmers in the devastated ter
ritory have turned theiijrye fields
into pasture lands; in some in
stances there being hardly a stalk
of grain left in an entire bounda
ry. The Judge Councill old home,
which has recently .been thor
oughly gone over and perfectly
repaired, is now being painted
bv Messrs Foster & Lane, and
when completed, will present a
very pretty appearance as it is
located one of the most ideal

natural result

the ''young set" but by the old
er people as welL
County Supt. Smith Haga-

Since the late refreshing rains
the meadows have taken on new

'airly good crop are right encou
raging.

dolph and Miss Mamie Randolph

Okla Dees of Greensboro, and
Miss Belle West of Banner Elk.
The Savings Department of
the Watauga County Bank was
opened for business on Feb. 17,
1916, and today it has 78 de
positors with a capital of $2,-
521 38. To be sure this isa splen
did showing, and fortunate are
those, who are laying up at least
a small amount of their earn
ings for the "rainy day" which is
6ure to come hrthe lives of many
of them. Better start an account
now.
On Sunday evening last the
Bamboo and Cook's Gap sec
tions of the county were visited
by the most terrific rain and
and hail storm ever witnessed in
that section, so say the oldest in
habitants there. Many of the
armers sustained great loss in
their crops, either by being beat
en down by the hail or washed
away by the unprecented down
pour of rain. Mr. W. H. Brown,
carrier on Route 1, says that on
Monday, he encountered drifts of
hail, viuch of which was washed
from the surrounding hills, that
actually reached up to the bod
ies of bisihores. The scope of
country in the path of the hail
only covered a few square miles,
but a good rain was pretty gen
eral throughout the county.
