From all reports the farmers are getting a little uneasy about General Green. Ihe mill is running on full time, with plenty of help and good oyerseers. Mrs. Frank Michael and Miss Cansas Reid visited friends in West Hickory a short time ago. Little Mary, the oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Jones, died at her hems in Brookford on Jane 16 of typhoid i'ever, aged twelve years. There are several casos of typhoid fever in the village. Miss-Minnie Hefner nas been qiite sick with typhoid fever, but is improving, and it is hoped she will soon be out again. Mr. Everet Carpenter has re t rned frcm Washington terri ! Tory and is engaged as salesman in the company store. Rev. Mr. Filow and Miss Vin nie Maberry were quietly mar ried at the home of her brother, June 26, at 1 o'clock, pi m. Mr. Bright has been under the weather for several days, but we hope the old gentleman will soon be out again. Everything is moving along nicely in the village, so quietly that there is litcle news. As the 4th fell on Sunday Sat urday was observed here. The mill shut down Friday night and all the help had a day off. SoQn Saturday morning it could be seen that there was something doing, as there were so many people on the street with their best clothes on. Soon wagons and carriages began to come in to take the people to Baker's mountain where the officers of the Baptist Sunday school had decided to have their picnic. The day was pleasantly spent, various games indulged in and as for the dinner it was something grand. Some claim there was almost as much brought back as was consumed. The school owes much to the Superintendent, Mr. G. F. Foster, for the outing they enjoyed. Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Northcott, formerly of Anderson, S. C., are stopping at the Hotel Brookford. Mr. Northcott is an expert weaver and is doing some work in the weave room here. Mr. and Mrs. Burt Cunning ham left us Monday night for Shelbyville, Tenn., their old home. Mr. Cunningham was employed as a loom fixer here. We regret very much to lose them, | Miss Nettie McGregor, who ! came here from Rock Springs, 1 Ga., to take a position in the ; drawing in room some time ago, I has decided to return and left the first of the week. Mrs. W. M. Johns has been in I Greenville and Spartanburg, S. I C., for two weeks, visiting her ! parents. She expects to return this week. \ Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

C., THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909. tOCIh lH WJrxm) (JU'IXJi Hewer-. mm Mr/amr wwomv .*c Conover. Mr. A. L. Barger, editor of the Tribune, was recently to the bed-side of his sick father, at Crimora, Va. He returned early last week. Mr. James A. Rice has a case of fever among his children, a little daughter, who recently visited her father's people in Mecklenburg county being the the sufferer. Mr. John A. Isenhower has bought the property used as an inn, and will proceed at once to put it in neat, attractive condi tion. Mr. J. S. Leonard of States ville taught a class in vocal music at our place some years ago. He is a man of music and a good teacher. It is pleasant to see him again, and to know that he will have a good class here this summer. "Gambling with the people's bread," is a just way to name the doings of those grain brokers on the Chicago Board of Trade. By skilful manipulations of the | supply of wheat and the market, they pocketed some millions of dollars. Under protest of a legal right, they have robbed the great army of toilers. Prof. Geo. A. Romoser left with his family for Missouri, where Mrs. Romoser's people dwell. In July the professor will attend the convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri and other States at Cleveland, Ohio. He is to lead the doctrine discussion with a pap 3r of church and state. This subject is very important just now, because it has been shown that the Roman Catholic hier archy is craftily seeking to gain control of government affairs. I Many Protestants do not see the danger that threatens our liber ties both in church and state. Many have themselves wrong views about the functions of Church and State, and the sepa rati®n of spiritual and civil power and policy. Some of the professors will remain at Conover all summer and may be consulted by persons who think of patronizing the college. We are unable to use liberty without abusing it. Independ ence Day celebrations illustrate. Give the boys fire and explosives, and they will prove the felly of liberty without law. Fourth of July in the last five years has made the history of 1,200 per sons killed and 20,000 injured. Rollins. Flour is very scarce in this section, as the local mills have ceased bringing in wheat from abroad and it is almost impossi ble to get flour when ordered. An order for three barrels from Hickory has not reached Glen Alpine in two weeks after order ing. Some have drawn loads of wheat to the steam threshers simply to get a little flour, pay ing the regular toll and leaving the straw in addition. We have had plenty of rain lately and a week ago (Monday) there was a regular down pour, with vivid lightning. One flash struck an apple tree just back of Wm. Ferree's barn but did very liltle damage. Owners of bot tom lands are almost in despair as in some cases weeds are high er than c»rn. T. C. Williams & Co. are out with their steam threshing out fit. Lester Moses with his wife and child is here from Clover, S. C., and will make their home here. Messrs. Landreau, Wain wright, Dale and Heron have or dered a threshing outfit and will be ready for business as soon as it arrives. J. A. Wainwright lost one of his pair of black horses by sick ness the other day. Dan Gurley, who has been a clerk for C, A. Poteet for several years past, has left him and gone into the lumber business, having bought Bert Hamby's herd of oxen. Boone. Owing to the continual rains, corn is smartly in the grass. Many fields have been gone over but once. Very little flour is being used in the county on account of the high price. Well-to-do families, as well as poorer classes, are having fewer biscuits. We use more buckwheat and rye and corn and less wheat. Farmers who keep sheep are getting about 6 cents a pound for lambs. This gives them some thing like $5.00 a piece. A quiet wedding of two popu lar young people occurred at the Blackburn Hotel Wednesday evening. Miss Jennie, daughter of Mr. M. B. Blackburn and Mr. M. P. Critcher were married by Kev. Mr. Rudisill. The school grounds are full of young teachers. The school boarding houses are caring for 100 and the private houses about 50, Granite Falls. A large number of our citizens attended the celebration at Le noir Saturday. Two coupk-s celebrated by getting married. Dr. Charles Russell has decid ed to locate for the time being in our town and we hope he will do so well he will stay with us. Mr. A. E. Shell sold all his in terest in the Granite Falls Drug Co., to Drs. Russel and Cerpen ing. Mr. D. A. Setzer says it's a boy and a girl that arrived in the wee small hours of the 3rd, just in time to celebrate the 4th. Mr. D. W. Russell is improving and we hope he will soon be him self again. Mr. John Bowles, an aged man, died at his home three miles north of town the 3rd. Garfield Conley, a boy of 13 was drowned Saturday while in swimming, with two other boys of about the same age, in the Catawba river about three miles above here. It seems that the boys were close to deep water and this boy, who could not swin, got a little far. One of the other boys came very near being drowned in attempting to save him, The body was found Saturday about noon. Rev. Mr. Sanford's little boy, about years old, fell from a swing and broke his arm the other day but is doing very well. Mr. 0. N. Payne made a busi ness trip to Statesville and other points last week. R. F. D. No. 1 Items. Mr. Matt Hill and daughter, Miss Eva, of Knoxville, Tenn., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Al fred Baker.
