. A young man, George Mc
Glamery by name, was found
dead on Fork Ridge, this coun
ty, on Friday of last week, and,
from appearances, life bad been
extinct for several days. As the
Coroner was not in the State no
inquest was held, but the pre'
vailing opinion is that whiskey
and exposure was the cause of
his death, as near the body was
a botte of the death-dealing flu
id. We are told that McGlamery
was a fugitive from justice and
was wanted in both Watauga
and Johnson county, Tenn.
WANTED TO BUY: A good
strong horse, suitable for farm

to recovery. Miss Daisy Byrd, of
The Lincoln Memorial Hospital
at Knoxville, Tenn., was his
nurse. ,
A citizen of the county, dri
ving a heavy yoke of cattle to
a wagon, was in town Monday,
and while the oxen were resting
in mud say some eight inches
ideep.theteumster was aproached
by a public-spirited citizen on the
subject of bonds for good roads
m tho county, and to find out
where he stood was indeed an ea
sy matter. "I want," said he,
the' county to vote bonds for the
constrncion of public roads after
we have railroad facilities here,
but until that time 1 am against
bonds." He clucked to his trusty
team, the wagon started thru
the mud which was of uncertain
depth, and, to ull apearances,
was oblivious to the fearful con
dition of the road over which, or
through which, he was traveling.
This is one way of looking at it.

that is part of the duties . of the
married man. Landmark.
