The property will he ready for sale in the very near future. April came in on a gale and mercury this mor-ing registered at ten above; this an unprecedented record in the opinion ot the oldV-.r people. The continued cold may be a bkvsir.g in disguise. There is not even a swelling hud on any of Che fruit trees yet, which makes an abundant crop this year almo t a certainty. Alton Rogers was given a hearing Monday before Mayor Cottrcll or; n charge of possessing a quart of whis key. The evidence was sufficient and he was bound over to the fall term oi uie watauga superior uourt unaei a good and sufficient bond. A boj "caught in the toils*' always arouse; our sympathy, but so long as thej continue to buy and drink whiskej ?a flagrant violation of the lawjust so long will they be in trouble. -- Messrs Cottrell and Hagam in havi sold their business,the Cash ocery to Messrs O. .1* Coffey and W.

Having known him intimately for more than 40 years we can say personally that the good county of I Avery has lost one of its most substantial and beloved citizens. Through his long life he has made others happy by his genial disposition, a kind and encouraging word, and if need be, his cash was drawn upon to aid those who were in need. He was a I kind father, a good and obliging neigh I bor, honest to a fault, devoted to his! church, and above all. a consecrated | Christian gentleman. Funeral and iji- j torment at Banner Elk yesterday. Had the Symptoms A confirmed hypochondriac, meeting his doctor in the street, said to him: "Doctor, I have just come from a medical lecture and 1 am afraid I have kidney trouble." "But, my dear fellow," said the doctor, "the curious thing about that disease is that the victim does not experience the least pain or discomfort." "Iieavons!" gasped the hypochc ndriac, "My symptoms exactly." Harry's Encore The music hall comedian was "receiving" in his dressing room. "Poor old *Arry!" he exclaimed of a rival.
