The real ideal weather we enjoyed for several days came to a sudden | termination Tuesday night, which is[ followed this (Wednesday) morning: by a drop in temperature and the lowering clouds indicate that rougher weather is to follow.

Plant larger gardens, using the best seed procurable, thereby becoming a member of the great 'Live-atHome" organization that is covering the State from Cherokee to Currituck. A good garden is always a good index to a good farmer and without it, no farm, be it ever so large and productive, can be a complete saccess. Let "bigger and better" gardens" be the slogan of Watauga this year. Mrs. Augusta Hine, for many years a beloved resident of Boone, died Tuesday morning at her home in Er win. Toxin.- HUP TOO. ennnnop inevitable weakness of age. She was more than 90 years old, and was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. She leaves two children, Mr. Thomas Hines, with whom she lived and where she died, and Miss Mattie Hines, of the same home; and two grandchildren. Interment was made in the cemetery at Johnson City yesterday. The news ol the death of this most estimable lady Will bring aatm^ tc. the hesrt*1 ot l. her many friends in this and snr i rounding counties. BI lIlS . -"! M \V. II. Gragg is net only one of our hustling: business men but is a gardener (by proxy) as his lots and premises always prove. He is nowdeveloping into a considerable farmer (by proxy again, if you don't mind). y??nrs aeo he purchased what is known as the Rivers field, containing about 20 acres, the corporate limits of the town passing through the property. The fields have been used for pasturage for a. long while and as a result are badly grown up with briars and small timber. He already has a large part of the tract cieaneci up ready for the (dow save the burning. His idea is to cultivate it all this year, principally in potatoes, cabbage, beans and other j products. The land, in the main, is rich and loamy, and there is no I better prospect for a crop in this | vicinity. The "old man" of the shop | has spoken for a small potato patch i in the field, and if he is successful I in getting it, it will be something | that wi?l do your heart good to see | him and Watt Gragg tickling the alii! vial soil from early dawn until night. Watt is a great believer in long (?) I hours! j Miss Bouchelle Entertains j At Theatre Party. Miss Ethel Bouchelle entertained a number of friends at a theatre par i vy un xuesuay evening, .January i.

The members of the Maids and Matrons Club and additional friends were delightfully entertained by Miss Ruth Cottreli on Friday evening at, her home on College Street.

A salad course with coffee ant individual mince pies topped witl ' "hipped cream furnished the refreshments, served in the most attractiv< manner.
