Published Every -Thursd a
; A Teacher if Twisty Tim la
The following beautiful extract
was clipped from the Charlotte
Observer about twenty years
ago, and the original was loaned
to the writer by the husband of
the lady concerned. It was writ
ten to that paper by its Editor,
who was at Blowing Rock at the
time. The good wishes expressed
by the editor seem to have been
fully realized, for the "fair faced
girl" is a model wife and mother
of this community, exerting a
' fine influence. The surprise of the
editor reveals a mistaken idea of
that day, and which baa not yet
passed away entirely, for there
are no more beautiful girls than
are right here in these mountains.
Here is the extract:
"One day while passing along
the Bhulls Mills road we passed a
plain little wooden school house
neur the side of the road. Impell
ed by curiosity we entered. The
school had juat begun, and the
classes were being organized. The
simply clad bashful girls and
the awkward boys, some of them
nearly grown, were seated on the
rude benches placed along the
vails. The teacher was a light
en ired, fair-faced girl, about 17
or 18 years old, it seemed. Her
countenance was beautiful, her
voice sweet, her manners gentle.
She said she lived near Boone,
aud was educated at Claremont
College. She seemed to have en-
tm upon life's duties bo trust
ify who does not wish that
. mi' lite may be one crowned with
iicegs. and that the fragrance of
t-r good works and pureeharac
.T may always linger helpfully
i nut those who baply may
m? near her, and about her?
I'hHsings on thee, little teacher.
"It was rather strange to find
one so sweet and kindly sympa
thetic among these wild surroun
dings It seems as if the delicate
rose had gone to teach school a
mong the hills, with the sunburn
ed orchids and freckled tiger lil
lies as her pupils."

Onnftbi Statt's Oldest Met.
Edenton Mitchell, generally
known as "Uncle Ead." of Wha
ley, is supposed to be the oldest
man in the State. His exact age
is not known, but bo is supposed
to be .107 years old. W hen the
war broke out in 1802 he was
too old for service, and ever
since the iron mines at Cranbery
have been in operation until tte
1 ist eight or tea years he has
been a regular peddler there. He
would often go to Beech Creek
and lower Beaver Dam and buy
up immense loads of eggs, chick
ens, peaches, api-les, and any
thing else marketable he could
buy, making two or three trips
every week, always going on
foot He has been known to make
the trip from his home, a dis
tance of ten miles, and back in a
little mora than half a day.
Last year he did quite a lot of
farm work, and last November
he walked from his home, a dis
tance of one mile, to theelection,
voted and immediately returned,
just as he had always done, with
out stopping to talk with any
one more than a few words. But
since then he had an attack of
gangreen which cost him four
toes from one foot Just now he
is up again from a severe attack
of grippe and pneumonia, which
has left bis mind badly impaired.
Truly his has been a life worthy
of mention.

On. the. 5th day of April, 1917,
the hand Qf death snatched from
the loving home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. N, Howell, of Brookside, N.
C, their boly daughter, Vera
Etblyn, who was seven years of
age; shrouding the home with a
pall of sorrow, behind which Prov
idence hides a smiling face. The
funeral service was conducted at
South Fork church on Saturday
by the pastor, Rev. L. A. Wil
son, . who used for his subject
1 Cor., 15, 55: "O death where is
thy sting? 0 grave where is thy
victory?" The sermon was most
impressive, emphasizing the aw
ful .fact that all must die, and
that every human pathway leads
to an open grave. The able min
ister declared from the authority
oi tne JJiDie. tnat aeatn which is
the result of Nature's inevitable
law, could not hold its victim
forever, as Christ had arisen con-
querer over death and the grave,
and in his own good time - would
call little Vera from the grave
clothed with all the glory and
beauty of immortality.
No one can explain, the myste
ry of death. The poor ignorant
peasant, weeping over the grave
of his dead, can answer that
question just as intelligently anl
satisfactorily as the most pro
found scholar; for the ignorance
of the one is just as consoling as
the learned aud unmeaning words
of the other. While groping our
weary way through the dark
night of earthly troubles, may
we all behold the glorious con
stellation of faith and hope, that
we will one day meet our loved
ones again.
May the Bereaved family gath
er consolation from the fact that
the same loving Saviorwho wept
over the grave of Lazerous and
sympathized with the weeping
sisters of Bethany, knows all a
bout their troubles and sorrows,
and will never leave them com
fortless.
