Professor Compton, of the Uuivereity

beginning his career on earth, and
our childien 50,0^0 years from now
-will be as far ahead of our ancestors
of 50.00,0 years ago.
^ ''TAosc. times are the ancient times
-when the world if ancient," as Bacon
said At the same time they represent
the babyhood of man. it we could
see our descendants of 5U,0oO ye air.
hence we should probably scarcely
recognize them as our own.
And as for our descendants of a ,
million and a hundred million years;
from now?-science says the earth will ,
last as long as that they will prok-:

WATAUGA COUNTY, * NORTH CA
NEWLAND
The Editor of the Democrat was '
called to Newland, the capital of A- f
very county, on business last Monday
and had the very great pleasure of j
spending two days and a night with j
the hospitable people of that growing'
little town. It lias been our privilege :
to visit many towns, in and out of the
mountains, and are frank to say that
we know of none more beautifully
Ibcated?nestling as it docs among
the everlasting hills, on the historic
Old Fields of Toe. It has the distinction
of having the greatest elevation
of any county site east of the Rockies,
j Its citizenship is progressive, there
j being no factions when the good of
Ithr. rfm.ntv ,.,wl I
| cm!. They "go up against" :i proposi- j
j lion as one man am! generally gel
! what they seek. The homes are sup-'
plied with sparking water from the
surrounding hills, which flows in a!
bundant quantities for domestic puri
poses, bui they are not yet satisfied,
oh that point, and are now featuring
J a big gravity system for fire proteci
tion and commercial purposes. Oeea- .
s ion ally you hear this remark, "We
have a number of as good boarding
| houses as can be found in any small
i country town, but a tourist and com-i
; mercia! hotei for Nevrland is one of .
jour crying needs.."---and we expect
to hear of its construction in the tu?
distant future, while the organize- i
tion of a Building and Loan, a Mer
chants' Protective Association and j
many other things arc not only be-, I
ing talked, but will materialize. The ,
latest move is looking to the purchase i
and installation of a modern news-'
paper and job plant which they hope ,
to have in operation by late, spring ,
02 early summer. The order for equipment
will go forward within the
i nex 1 ten days. This is another long \
j stop for Xewland and Avery county, j
j The prgrcssivo citizens of Xewland <
i havb done considerable advertising
I by folders and otherwise and an? now ;
| enjoying: a right good summer tourist j
trade. I
Bad it not been for the woodman's ;
axe destroying tin? virgin forests that |
surrounded this favored location only ! ,
a few years ago. Now land. would eas- j i
lily "have the bulge" on any of ourit
numerous beautiful mountain towns. K]
With the progressive, spirit that1 j
pfncAinds there, her scenic beauty and t
I great altitude, and with the capital
(that has been and is being attrcted to \
Avery county, New land is destined to ;?
'become one of the most beautiful <
and attractive resort towns in the (
mountains. ,

LIVINGSTON CLUB
* The Livingston Club met Monday
afternoon February fifteenth with
Miss Margaret Clay. It was a very
interesting meeting. After the devotional
a miscellaneous program followed
given by the girls. Everyone j
eft joyed the program very much. After
spending a serial hour in jokes
and making plans for the future Miss
Cpay carried out the Valentine idea
ijfry nicely in serving cheese and
perminto sandwiches in heart design,
pickles, cake whipped cream, and i
cherries. Everyone left, declaring
Miss Clay a very delightful hostess.

The people of Boone look with dis- sj
avor on the efforts of the anti-pro- ?,

iify the eighteenth amendment to the t)

lo not hesitate to express their dis- ,j

These resolutions were passed by | Xi
ill the churches of the town the past

The dairy farm industry as prat- fj
H.CU uy oHim ?? yciuriou was not uiinc v
in a day, nor was his splendid herd of rows
already such. He early realized <
that diversified farming with the dai- t
ry cow as the foundation, is the best ri
road to prosperity. Not having the
rapital to start in with a herd of reg- j:
istcrcd pure breds, he started in, like rfc
many other dairy farmers have, with;}
scrubs. Nor was he satisfied. Grad- l
ually the scrub herd developed into ?
a grnde herd of Ghernseys. After this i;
came a sale of the Guernseys and lj
