C RIVERS, Editor and Proprietor Entered at the post office at Boone, N. C. as second class mail matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One year $1.00; Six months 60 cents. Three months, 25 cents. Thursday, March 6, 191i ' Rristeiu for Witinfji. ' Mr. J. B. Horton, of Vilas, will leave, for Wisconsin, the latter part of this month, where, from the famous herds of Holstein cat tie in that State, he will select 60 head of choice yearling heifers which will be paid for .by the stock-holders in the Cove Creek and New River cheese factories. This particular strain of cattle is considered the best as milk' producers and, as cheese-making is one of Watauga's chief in dustries, the patrons of the fac tories named, at least, are deter mined to breed up their herds to perfection. Watauga now boasts of a cheese factory with thegrar est output of any south of Phila delphia, which is the Cove Creek Co-operative, and it might yet be termed in its infancy. Last yeai t lis plant alone paid out to it pa trons for milk in round num bsrs, $15,000. which, we are told, was far more than the price oi the cattle put on the beef market from the same section during the past year. Mr. Asa Wilson, of the Silverstone, factory, has a thor ough bred herd of Holsteins and Mr. John SherrilL of Beaver Dam, also has a number added to his herd, and with this bunch of select Holsteins being imported into Watauga, it will add much to the cattle-raisirfg industry, as wall as dairying purposes, for both of which our county is now . famous. Cove Cnek Items. It is mud and- more mud in these parts. We certainly will be glad to see the new road built up our valley to the State line, then on back to Boone. This will be a tine peice of road construe tion when completed, and we are proud of those who are at the head of this work. We ought to go slow in making changes, and not play politics or advance any selfish motives. Roads are pub lic questions pertaining to the c raimon good of all. We ought to b 3 big hearted enough to jput aside all selfish interests, and pull for everything that will ben efit our people and future genera tions. Mrs. J. S. McBride and two children have,, been right sick with flu" for the past week but are greatly improved at this writ ing. Miss Bessie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Asa Wilson of Silver stone, died Sunday, night the 3rd inst. Bessie was an estimable young lady, and we join the host of friends in extending our sym pathy to the grief stricken fam Hy. Mrs. Nan Mast of upper Cove Creek has been very sick, and at this writing is reported no bet tir. Mr. A. S. Johnson has"old his farm, recently bought of E. B. St ikes, to Lewis Johnson Enoch Swift and boys bought soms land of B. C. Greene, on Isaacs Branch. Other deals are on hand. v CHRONIC CONSTIPATION. ' There are people who never have a movement without it is . produced by a cathartic. Most of them have brought that condi tion on themselves by the use of mineral waters and strong cath- ' artics that take too touch water out of the system and aggrevate the disease they are meant to re lieve. A mild laxative tonic like Chamberlain's Tablets affords a gentle movement of the bowels that you hardly realize has been produced by a medicine, and their use is not so likely to be followed by constipation. New Bneii Over WjtaojilheC On Monday a delegation from lower Beaver Dam was before the G. R. C. in Boone, asking help on a low-water bridge they want con structed across the Watauga near the Avery county' line. The merit of the application was considered by the, Board, and it was decided that the county, would furnish $300.00 of the . needed amount, if the people of the community would put up the remainder, to which the delegation readily a-greed. A Card From Dr. I G. Salmons. Dr. Salmons requests us to state to his patrons and the pub lie in general, that in view bf the fact he is leaving Boone, and in appreciation of the splendid pat ronage he has enjoyed from the good people of Watauga, that it is his desire to leave his patients in good and competent hands, and in order to do this, he has sold his fixtures and equipment to his friend, Dr. R. D. Jennings, who will announce the location of his offices later. Dr. Salmons goes further and states that from his long and intimate association with Dr. Jennings, that he knows that the Doctor's knowledge and skill as a dentist can be equaled by few and- surpassed by none, and he knows that Dr. Jennings is always fair and honest with his patients and is at all times cour teous and kind; he also states that his praise of Dr. Jennings te prompted by his intimate as sociation with him, and he knows that it is entirely superfluous as the Doctor has been long and fa vorably known as a Dentist and as a man by the people of Watau ga and surrounding counties. Dr Salmons says further that hi? successor, Dr. Jennings, will de vote all time necessary to meet all appointments, even if it re quires thirty days of .each month and that people wanting work- done should notify the Doctor so as to get appointments at as ear ly dates as can be reached. Dr. Salmons again wishes to thank the people for the kind pat ronage that they have accorded me. . adv Mrs. I H. Perry. Mrs. Lilly Perry, wife of E. H, Ferry or silverstone, jm. u. was born May 9, 1880, and died Dec 12, 1918, leaving a husband, seven children and a host of friends tc mourn their loss. Mrs. Perry was among the many who suffered and died oi Spanish inlluenza and pneumonia in this community. She was mar ried to Mr. Perry, Oct. 8, 1903. She joined Pleasant Grove Bap tist church in the fall of 1910 and lived a pious consistent christian life. She assisted the sick, sym pathised with and comforted the distressed, and wielded a great influence for good over every one with whom she was acquainted She will be missed in this com m unity as a neighbor and friend in the church as a loyal christian sister, and in her home as a lov ing mother and companion. She is gone from among us, but not forgotten. She is dead yet she liveth. What is our serious loss is her eternal gain and in Bibli cal sentiment let us say: "Bless eiare they, who fall asleep in Christ." C. E. Hagaman, A. L. Wilson. Vilas, N. C. . DOLLARS AND CENTS. Counting it only in dollars and cints, how much did that last cold cost you? A man may not always stop work when he has a cold, but perhaps it would be bet ter if he did. It takes about 10 days to get completely rid of a cold under the usual treatment. Taat time can be much shorten ed by taking Chamberlain Cough Rjmedy and proper care of your solf, in fact, a bottle of this rem edy in the house is a mighty good iti vestment in the winter and spring months.

Mere guesses are not accepted, for they are unjust alike to the taxpayer and the Government and defeat the proper ad ministration of the law. "Prices talk," says The Mountain City Marble Co.
