This is surely an age of buttons. Our people were very much shocked to bear of the sudden death of Mr Taylor Greene, Watauga, which oc curred at the house of his sister-in- law, Mrs. Robt. Greene. His body was taken to his home in Watauga for burial. - The debate which came of! oq March 13, was a good one and ably discussed. The ques tion-box etc was good also, but ow ing to the fact that it was not very widely advertised not many were present. Prof. W. L. Ftancum, of Watauga, delivered a lecture on Southern Literature. The next Public Debate of the P. and . So ciety will come off on Saturday night, April 3. Query i Should the IT S recognize Cuba? Speakers on the Aft Messrs V. C Coffey and Joe C. Moore; on the Neg.

The farmers are busy engaged in farm-work Rev. J. W. Thomas filled his regular appointment at N. Catawba last Sunday. He always has good food for the flock. The evidence of its effect is shown by the full attendance at his churches. Mrs. Emmet Tilley is yet not able to be out of bed. Her many friends are real anxious to sen her up again. She is slowly convales ing. i Esq. Corpening has just laughed and laughed for the last two weeks it's a boy or a girl one. The school is growing better and better.

Amherst, in the near future, will be one of the leading schools of Western North Carolina. Fortunatly, the Principal, a man who knows his duty and does it, has cast his lot with the people whom he loves. The debate and concert on the 12 inst, were much enjoyed. The debaters accquitted themselves fair ly well above " "expectation," Those that were in the concert de serve much credit for the manner in which, they acted their dialogues and tableaux. The ''Big Six" also added much fun to the pro gram. VVo think one of them had a nervous derangement as he could N. C. TUESDAY, MARCH S3. 1897. not participate in the exercises. Worst of all, one of them lost his credentials (?) 'while here. J We had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of Prof R B. Bush's school the 13 mat. Much Credit is due both teacher and pu pils. ' it was very good ladced. Yet we could expect nothing else, knowing what we do of Prof Bush. Having the pleasure of visiting his school on occasion, we found it progressing with ttat thoroughness which characterizes firstclass school. Time will not admit going into de tails oi the exeroises. They consis ted of recitations, declamations, and dialogues, in the afternoon, a roug ing debate, recitations and decla mations, interspersed with music, at night. Besides giving the enter tainment, Prof., aided by the fam ily, showed the better qualities of North Carolina hospitality in keeping a large crowd over night Excuse us if we dont tell how much we ate, We can't tell hew well we enjoyed it, nor can we describe our relish for the good things on that occasion. 0. A. S. March 20, '97' From Taylorsvllla- The lecture at the Methodist church, Tuesday night, was quite a success. A large crowd was in at tendance. Mrs Cartland did credit, noi only to herself, but to the or ganization which she respresented. She centred her remarks on the use of strong drink, touching on the use of tobacco, and cigaretts. On the use of cigaretta she said; "I thank God that the legislature re cently in session passed that Iron Clad Law, which protects the youth of our country, and I hope the fath ers, wjll enforce it to the extent that it will keep our boys from wrecking their lives by so danger ous a habit " Mr. W. M. Smith, a rising young attorney of our town, left Thursday morning for Charlotte, . where he intends to practice his profession. We are very sorry to lese Mr. Smith, for he was a very important factor in our midst, not only in law but in the social circle as well. But since he thinks it best to go, we wish him much success in his new field. Messrs C. A. Presnell and H. C. Payne of Caldwell, went to States ville this week with a load of tobaa CO.
