Taylor of Hepler * Kcis. who married Mist* fcllla lllair 1 of Boone some years ago, sends us ' th- following story relating to Daniel v Borne, taken from the Kansas City 1 Jo: oal. which ve think will be of interest. c Mr, Taylor continues, "we like the i/.ocra very much, and think it is \ the best weekly paper we know. It j lots of news of national iiupor- v ti that fails to pet mention in siMr-e of the hip daily papers." The story as appearing in the K< Jc :.nal says. t'n > - \i Saturday will mark the flight -t? of >5 years since Daniel Boone died gr; in m. Charles county, Missouri.

VISITOR TALKS OF "THE GOOD OLD DAYS" Mr. E. C. Rhyne and son Dan spent the week end with his niece Mrs. .1. L Good flight. He says this country has improved wonderfully, especially in the way of roads, since twenty five years ago when he hauled produce from Watauga in the old covered wagon. He related many incidents that happened on the roads in those days. Once when coming over the mountain from Lenoir to Boone he met several Watauga wagons. One of the men attempting to pass on the narrow road- upset his wagon and the various mountain products rolled in every direction. In his excitement he forgot his small son who was asleep under a bunch of hay in the rear of the wagon When he regained his senses sufficiently he rushed to the wagon screaming, "oh my hoy!" where he shook the sleeping lad who rubbed the hay seed from his eyes drowsily and .aid. "Say pa, is it raining?" Mr. Rhvne will always he a wel com.' visitor to our town. We hope he will come again and tell us mor talcs of the good old days.
