Another cheese factory, No.

at Hopkins last Week -with 80
stockholders, and Mr. Farnham
is of the opinion that, the- cheese
industry in Watauga is still in
its infancy. The New York mar
ket quotation on cheese the first
of the week was 40 cents per
pound, the highest it has ever
been. Five years ago it was only
bringing 15 cents per pound and
even at that price it was consid
ered a paying business.

Miss Delia Farthinr;, a gradu

assistant in the primary depart
ment for the last half year, is to
leavens. She goes, to the Memo
rial Hospital, Richmond, Va. t5
take training for a nurse, we
regret to see her leave, but feel
that she goW to prepare for a
great work tor which she by na
ture is well suited. .Our very best
wishes go with her and we shall
expect to hear good. things. of
her. Miss Lula Prestwood, who

Farthings place in the school.
ing put is a great tbock as -weU
as a great loss to the entire com
munity. By bis splendid char
acter and loving service he had
endeared himself to every one.
During the siege of influenza he
served and ministered to all un
tiringly, and his life was not less
than a sacrifice in this work.
His mother and sister came up
this morning and accompanied
his remains to Johnson City
where his body will be embalmed
and from there they with the
corpse will return to Lincolnton,
bis home town, for bis Hnal rest

we feel sure that, the work will
not suffer at her hands. To show
the esteem in which Miss Farth
ing is held by her students, the
rimary Department gave her a
reception at the girls' ball, .on
Tuesday afternoon. . which was
a very pleasant affair for all

Resolutions of Respect
Whereas it has Dieasetl our
Heavenly Father to take from
the home of Mr. and Mrs Aubyn
Farthing, th- ir infant child Reba
we as a Sunday School desire to
express our sincere sympathy to
the bereaved parents, commend
ing them to the one who makes
no mistakes, however hard the
dispensation may seem to us.
The little one who was given
them to brighten their lives for
sixteen short months will be sore
lv missed in their home yet she
will ever be a guiding star in the
window of heaven to beck
them to the better laud. There
fore be it resolved,
1. That we shall misshersmil
iug face in our Sunday School.
2. That the ympathy of tbe
school be extended tothebereav
ed family.
3. That a page on our Sun
day School record be used to in-
HCfiue these minutes, and one
given to the family, and one sent
to the Democrat for publication
