Mrs. R. K.
Born to Dr. and
Bingham, a girl.
Mr. H. W. Hoyton is spending
several days in Wilkes county,
looking after mattersof business.
Mrs. J. M. Moretz has been
right ill for several days, but at
this writing is mueh improved.
Mr. C. A. Ellis has moved into
the house vacated last week by
Mr. J. C. Fletcher's family.
Mrs. M. A. Wade and family
of Marion, Va. spent the waek
end with her sister, Mrs. H. M,.
Lewis.
Friend Kimber Johnson of El
izabethan, was a pleasant busi
ness caller at this office yester
day. Misses Ethel and Lula Lewis
have returned from a week's vis-
; . , ; , ,m- mil. Oinds r.
Mo'mt Airy and Dobson.
Mrs. T. P. Adams left Sunday
for a Bristol hospital whore she
underwent a rather serious oper
ation, but the latest advices are
to the effect that the good lady is
uoing very nicely.
We are glad to learn that the
little child of Mr. and Mrs. Con
rad Yates, who has been so ser
iously ill for the past several
days, is very much improved and
is thought to bo out of danger.
Mr. Fred Winkler had the mis
fortune of getting his left arm
broken itist above the wrist last
Saturday, when a truck under
which he was working, slipped
from a jack and fell upon him.
Mr. James Mast of Mast, and
Mr. James Councill of Boone left
Monday for Chanel Hill where
they will re enter the University
of North Carolina for theensuing
term-
Mrs. J. A. Sproles delightfully
entertained a number of the la
dies of Boone last Thursday af
ternoon in honor of Mrs. Nave, a
visitor at the Sproles home, and
Mrs. Fletcher, who has recently
moved to Lenoir.
Mr. K. G. Gragg. formerly a
citizen of Boom1, but who for the
past few years has resided at
Piney Flats, Tenn., left for his
home yesterday after a visit of
several days with friends and
relatives in this section.
One of the latest additions to
Boone, is a planing mill, black
smith shop and machine shop
combined, which is being con
structed just beyond the Black
burn store, our townsman Mr.
Kelly Osborne, as wo understand
it, being at the head of the pro
j3ct. A part of the machinery
has already been delivered, and
the plant will probably be ready
for work before long.
Owing to the unavoidable ab
sence of the editor this week, the
paper is issued almost one day
late, and we hope the readers
will re fraii from censuring this
edition too harshly, for without
sufficient help in the shop, and
more especially with a woeful
lack of co-operation on the out
side, a country printer is in a
rather precarious, if not in an al
together pitiable position.
A wedding of more than usual
interest occurred yesterday
when Mr. Smith Hagaman and
Miss Stella McCartney w e r e
married, theceremony being per
formed at Mountain City, Ten
nessee. The couple i s widely
known in tips section, Mr. Haga
man being Superintendent o f
county schools, formerly a rep
rasentative from this county in
the Legislature, and always one
of Watauga's foremost men,
while Miss McCartney has made
a wide circle of friends during
hetojourn here, and her untir
ing efforts and wonderful efficien
cy in the county's public health
work have been a source of priie
to all Wataugans. After a short
bridal trip the couple will return
to Boone, where they will proba
bly make their future home.
We are informed that a large
delegation from Hickory and oth
er towns will come to Boone
Thursday October 13, and have
a picnic? All Watauga people
are invited to be present. Every
body will provide their own din
ner. We are glad to welcome
our friends beyond the moun
tainsthe building of good roads
