Word ; of the award comes to relatives from A. J. Greer, a son, who resides at Yankton, S. D., and who entered the photographs in the acpartmet of fine I aris. v About four years ago a Mr. Dell, - feature writer for the London Post, visited Watauga County in search of i information through which he could i compare the early English homes and i people with the pioneers of the Unit ed States. Re found exactly what ; hp wnntpd in UTr <->r\A and their country home, and he made the photographs for use in his newspaper, copies of which were entered in the western fair. One photograph shows the revered couple sitting on the porch while another gives the sweep of the premises including the home. Mrs. Greer will have besn dead a 1 year the 15th of October, but "Uncle Phillip," as he is affectionately 1 known, is hale and hearty at the age ' of 89. Should Mrs OrPdr hnco lii-ed one more month, her wedded life would have covered a span of 67 I years. i ' PEPPER ON LARGE SCALE Dwight and Edgar Edmistcn, two of Cove Creek's "farmingest" farmers, brought to The Democrat office ' Monday a basket of bell peppers that surely would carry away honors at , any fair.
