boy 8 who are 'selected (to go to
the training camps from Watau
ga, and practically all of them
answered to the roll call
made by John EL Bingham.chaii
man of our exemptiou board.
The Blowing Rock band was
present and rendered fine patri
otic music, and the audience,
whichmeans every one who could
- find room in the courtroom, ren
dered anumber of patriotic songs.
But the music which went direct
to the soul was made by the
"Cove Creek Fife and Drum
Corps." This wnsoriginallv made
' up of Confederate veterans, and
two are still in it Meesrs. Noah
Isaacs and Enoch Swift but the
rest have passed to the beyond.
One, who- beat the- drum, Mr.
Burton Fletcher, died on the roor
