Thirty years ago, the coining 4th of July, The Democrat, under its present management, made its debut to the reading public wittlmany misgivings as to its first voyage on the rough sea of pountry journalism. It began un der very adverse conditions, and -the breakers' rolled high, but with a steady hand at the wheel, and a determination to finally steer into calmer water with the frail little barque. It has often enjoyed, temporarily smooth sail ing, only to be engulfed again bj the tidal waves oi panics, wars, etc., etc., but, backed by as good a citizenshin as anv count v in tin V V J State can boast, she has suc ceeded in avoiding destruction or the treacherous rocks and is hen after her 80-years cruise, to cele brate her 80th anniversary, with the boys who have done theii bit" in three great wars. It ii not said boastingly, but to-day the. paper is, by far, in the best shape it has ever been and haf an equipment that is second U no country shop in the moun tains. It has ever been itslpolicy to live on its income and t41 help to the limit in whatever wa for the betterment and uplift oi the town, county, State and, last year when the Governmentmadn the appeal to "sacrifice until it hurts" The Democrat readily ac quiesced, its idea being, asidt from thedanger the boys encoun tered ' "over there;"; to do the part of a soldier, and we fee! that we almost done it. All of thi is preliminary to asking thai when you come to town to cele brate the Glorious Fourth witl the boys for their achievments; you remember also the man wh( stood square back of) them will every available dollar, and ham in a year's "subscription to tht little paper that has always beet your friend. If you owe the pa per anything on subscriptionpri or to Oct. 1, '18, kindly settle il on that day. The 4th of July Celebration. Arrangements for the Fourtl of July Celebration to be held I ID Boone, are being made as rapid ly as possible, and, the weathei being favorable, we confident expect the greatest gathering that ever assembled here. Thi being the case, it behooves everj family to prepare a basket of tin best food procurable, for, to feei such a multitude, is quite an un dertaking, even if the county interested. The ladies composing the township committees, are a gain reminded of the fact that it is a duty incumbent upon them to look well after the baskets, at well as their quota of cashfoi incidental expense in fact, tht more cash and dinner they raise the more certain are we all of the splendid success we expect It goes without saying that Boone will do her full share inentertain Jng her honored guests the sol diery of three wars, and it is the idea of all to crowd all the inno centplersure possible into that day for those who so richly de . Berve it, and any interruptior will not be tolerated. The utinosl confidence is placed in the so! diers that they will abstain f ron drinking on that day they could not afford to disgrace their uni forms, and should any one else decide to "fill up on corn liquor' for the purpose of making an ex hibit of himself on that day, will be promptly attended to by the town or county authorities. This is given out as a note of warning, and it is earnestly hoid that not a Single citizen of this county Realizing that there is a demand ' for additional banking facilities to accommodate the business of tovyn , and county, a new banking institu tion has about completed its organ ization and expects to be ready for business September ,1, 1919, and will be known as the Peoples Bank and TVust Co. This institution expectsto start business with a paid in capita! of $15,000, with privilege of increas ing to $50,000 as business; de mands. WhileMt will not be the policy of this bank to conflict in ' any way with the Watauga -County Bank, there will be additional features which those who do busi- ' ness with banks will find to be very attractive.

Did you ever wonder which of the many wonderful inventions of Thomas A Edison was consid ered the greatest by the man himself? Sometime ago Mr. Edi son was asked this question. He replied that the phonograph, was his favorite invention. And when you think of a machine capable of producing perfectly and .with out fault, the human voice, sounds or music of any kind, it is indeed a wonderful thing. Of course the ordinary talking machine or phonograph will not do this. Even thefirst phonograph mude by Mr. Edison was a very cnido affair." But now he has brought the ma chine to the perfection for which he has worked so long. There are many kinds of phonographs. Some are good and some are not so good. But any ordinary phono graph does not come up to the standard it should. Many have imitated Mr. Edison's invention, 1 but none have succeeded as he has. Most people would laugh if you told them that it was poss ible to record the voice of a sing: er, or the notes of a violin or any Other sound so perfectly,' that even a trained critic would not able to detect the slightest differ e ace between the living artist's voice or instrument. Yet this has actually been done. The new Edison has stood this acid test, with many of the world's great est musicians, and before hun dreds of thousands of people. No one has been able to detect the slightest difference. Of course t lere is a difference but it is so slight that it is impossible to find it. Mrv Ediswn, in addition .to tliis, has eliminated the old nui sance of changing needles after playing a record. To overcome this he uses a genuine diamond stylus, instead'of the old fashion ed steel needle. This diamond never wears out. In addition to LENOIR BOOK CO.

So per fect is it- that the music critics have decided that it is neither a phonograph or a talking machine ! but a real musical instrument. They also say that the reproduc ing of music in so perfect a man ner is a new art, and they call thw new art "Music's lte-Crea-tion." Wouldn't you like to hear one of these wonderful musical instruments? If so, call at Mr. It. M. Greene's store and ask to hear the New Edison.
