' : '.',' .' ' One Present. . , ! v Witaaga't 6riitest Truidf. Tlie burning of themain build ing of the Vallo Crncis Industri al School at an early hou r 1 a s t Sunday morning, in which two young ladies, Miss Adalade Mil ler, of Lenoir, Domestic Science teacher in the institution, "aufl Miss Clyde Philomn,of Lincoln ton, a student, lost their lives, is the worst tragedy that ever oc curred in Watauga. The' term of 'school had closed only a few days previous; the big buildTng had boon put in order for. the sum mer, and the two ladies were thel only inmates of the building, with 'rooiii on the third floor. Three young men, Mi.4.s - Philemon's brother, Mr. Alouzo (Irocue, sou f thoi matron, and another, whose name, we have .not learned, were in rooflis'in an adjoining building and tliey were all up until a lute hour Saturday night, the ladies packing and .preparing for an Aearly start to their homes Sun Vlay morning. At ':i5lJ the boys ,vere aroused, presumably by the la re of the light, and seeing the building whs on fire, rushed tort and finding the Kitchen door un locked, gained entrance, rushing up tlie first and .second llights oj stairs, hoping to reach the rooms occupied by the ladies, but wo e confronted by a solid wall ol smoke and flame, that forced them back down, never hearing a word or a sound from the dooin vd ladies. The jieople gathered rapidly, but the flames had gain ed such headway that they wore powerless to do anything, save t ) stand and watch the racing flames devour'the building,know ing, to their horror; that the bod ies of two choice young ladies vefe being creamated. The heat was so groat that it was in theaf .ternoori before anything like a search for some trace of the in cinerated bodies could be made. A few fragments of bones were found, some almost immediately under where the girls had room ed, .the others some distance tr way, 'showing that one of them, at least, had left the room before being overcome by the heat. The origin of the tire1 will ever remain a mystery, for there was none in fie building, so fa as is known, at midnight Saturday, and, as it evidently started on the third story, it has been suggested by some t hat an electric wire was re sponsible fox" tlie fearful conJla gr tion. The property loss is con siderable, as the building alone c jst Sj(),(K)0 when it. was erected several years ago, and it is said that the same building erected n uv, would cost easily twice that amount. The fearful happening Ins cast a deep gloom over the. people of the entire county. Gap Creek Hews. . Mr. Earl Moretz who has been in declining health for some time is'v ?ry low at this writing. Miss The ma Storey is quite jjl with apendieitis and we are informed that an operation will bo performed at once. We are sorry to learn that Miss Myrtle Watson had the misfor tune of breaking her arm and getting badly bruised up in an automobile accident while visiting at Lenoir.

' We' are informed that they' will pay 20 cents per gallon for milk. Sheriff Young and one of his Deputies destroyed about 2(X) gallons of beer in the1 Virgil' sec tion some days ago. It seems to us that the "snake-bite cure" will always be in demand and some one ever ready to manufacture this famous liquid for the thirsty. ' Roil CosalssloB Raorganlztd. The Road Commission was in session M,ond'ay. ' . The " most i m portrtnt business, perhaps, of a very busy day was the reorgani zation of the commission. M. B. Blackburn was elected chairman for the next two years, and Prof. Roy M. Brown, secretary. 'Mr. Brown agreed to work for at least a month or two. In Memorial. -Sister Junie Foster was born Nov. .2s, 1877, and died Dec. 19, 191 K, at the age of 41 years. She professed faith in Christ at the age of 13 years and united with Howard's Creek Baptist church, after which she was transferred to different churches of the same faith and orde until datli found tier a cousisten member of How ards Creek Baptist Church. May the sorrowing husband and chil dren find comfort in a loving Sav ior who is keeping the souls of yieir loved ones with the expec tation and hope of meeting them again May the bereaved ones gather consolation from the fact that the' same Saviofe who wept oxer Lazerous and sympathized with tlie weepmg sisters of Beth any will never leave nor forsake them. .
