Mr. Luther Mosteller and fam ily, of Sweet Water. Va., are vis iting friends in this vicinity. Mr. Will Gardner, of Knox ville, Tenn., has arrived here, and will spend his vacation with his aunt, Mrs. Margaret Baker. Fred Foard, Jr., was in Ashe ville last week.

Holly, are visiting Mr. Jacob Fulbright. Mrs. R. A. Ramseur and Clay ton, are visaing in Morganton, N. C. The Sunday school of Zion's church had a picnic last Satur day which was attended by about 100 people. There were addresses by Rev. Brady Stroup and Prof. Starwalt, of Lenoir college, and the day was finished up with a song, in which all joined. Thomas Huffman and Miss Lola Ellis, of Brookford, were married the other day by N. A. Whitener,, justice of the peace. Rollins. J. E. Scott has been laid up with neuralgic trouble. Miss Sal lie Epley, who has been teaching school at Henri etta, has returned home. J. C. Landreau is seriously ill with sciatica. J. M. Fisher is working at the insane asylum in Morganton for a few weeks. The local farmers are learning the benefit of grading their seed wheat, and a fanning mill just set up bids fair to have plenty of work. Farmers have had an especially hard season, and say they have never known a time when money was so hard to get. Epley and Free are working for gold and monazite on I. A. Wain Wright's Hancock property, and McDaniel and Bollinger on his Moore Epley place. Both re port good success. John F. Waters has purchased the Linebaiger place of Mrs. Glass and her children, and will eventually make it his hone. John Baker has gone to Mor ganton to stay for two weeks and have his leg attended to. He hurt it in a saw mill some two years ago, and now a running sore has developed and needs treatment daily. We hope John will entirely recover. The fox hunters went out Mon day night beyond Baker's moun tain and had a good run. They started a fox which ran up a tree three times, but on the fourth round went out into the open, where he was killed by the dogs. For Good Roads. We've had a good roads movement to Pohick on the Crick, We raised some ready cash fur what we couldn't get on tick. An', bein* a partic'lar-job, we thought it would be wise To get some men of probity to come and supervise. An' as a further guarantee 'gainst chances of neglect, We took another set of men an' told 'em to inspect- I An' these arrangements didn't seem jes' what they ought to be Till we'd secured some talent compe tent to oversee. There arose misunderstandin's 'bout emoluments and rank. But the pay-roll checks kep' comin' very regular to the bank, Somehow the highways didn't seem to lose their ruts and lumps, An' every time we went to town we had to bump the bumps. We found it hard to comprehend what such delay could mean In work so well inspected, supervised an' overseen. The only manual labor on this job that seemed so slow Was done with great reluctance by a boy with a hoe. The situation nalurally shocked our civic pride. We called some meetin's an' the proper people testified. We got the overseers to tell exactly what they knew An' heard from the inspectors an' the supervisors, too Then we drew up resolutions an' de livered an address . To vindicate our efforts to uplift an' to progress. We have solved the difficulty an' our hearts are full of joy At seein' discipline maintained. We fired that no-'count boy. —Washington Star. 'Conover. Clearing the wild growth from our burial ground ; making a ce ment walk to the doors of the Lutheran church ; improving our boarding house, are among the things doing at Conover. The Augustan Conference of Lutheran pastors and teachers in connection with the Missouri Synod in North Carolina, will hold sessions in Bethel church, Rev. C. O. Smith, pastor, Aug. 27 to 29. The English Missouri Synod was organized in Missouri, in 1888, with seven pastors and charged. It is now composed of sixty pastors and charges. It supports more or less fully, eigh teen mission stations. It has at Pittsburg a publishing house which issues needed literature. The Rev. John M. Smith and lady have now the pleasure of a visit from their son, Prof. W. A. Smith and his wife and daughter Margaret, of Charlotte. Mr. Geo. B. Fox, of Dallas, Oregon, and his wife, are paying a visit to friends here and in Lincoln county. Mr. Fox is of a well known family of his name. Mrs. Fox was a Miss Harris, of Lincoln county. They had not been here in the past thirty years. Boone. The macadam road from Le noir to Blowing Rock is being talked about again. Mr. Vance Henkle was in town recently get ting subscriptions. They haye $65,000 and want $15,000 more before beginning work. Mr. Grandon,of Kidout, Penn., the promoter of the Wautauga Railroad Co., writes encourag ingly to his friend about the building to a road from Lenoir to Roone. He expects the county to vote about $75,000 in bonds. Mart Seminary at Mast, will be opened as a Presbyterian mis sion school early in the fall. Prof. Wood, of Plumtree, will have charge. Work is progressing nicely on the new building of the Appa lanchain Training School The foundation is about completed. The school opened on the 25th. Col.

Whitener and wife, who have been visiting here, have returned to their home in Green ville, S. C. G. F. Ivey bought the lumber, about 20,000 feet, at the base ball park, which was sold at auc tion on Saturday. A darkey driving a pair of geese and selling liniment was one of our street sights recently. If his medicine was as strong as his voice it should certainly have had an effect on the user. The report of the state board of health for June shows that in that month typhoid fever was prevalent in this county, \vhile there were a few cases each of measles, whooping cough, and pneumonia.

Prof. Staley spent Sunday at home with his family. The teachers' institute at Statesville, over which he is presiding, is very successful, every teacher in the county, with the ex eptionof one or two who are sick, having been in attendance. The program and premium list for the state fair at Raleigh has just been issued, and shows a >preat variety of classes, with a rich offering of prizes; The most important is $4OO, offered for the best, greatest variety and most artistical arranged collection of agricultural individual exhibit, with a second prize of $2OO. lhe "Harvest Home" Festival and "Children's Day" services will be held at the Reformed church, on Sunday morning and night. According to custom the church will be decorated with fruits and grains and the sermon will be in harmony with the oc casion. At night the school will render the service entitled ' 'The School of the King." One small boy in this town is enjoying a home made bicycle which probably gives him as much pleasure as older men get out of their more elaborate ma chines. Made of two wire wheels, connected by a wooden frame, it lacks the chain and other deyices for multiplying speed, but runs well and evidently affords him much satisfaction. The good roads meeting at Newton on Saturday was not largely attended, but those who were there meant business. A paper was prepared which will be submitted to the county com missioners at their next meeting asking them to levy a tax of not more than 20 cents on a hundred dollars for road improvement, if a majority of voters petition for it. Also to relieve of road duty any who pay one dollar a vear for road improvement. The C. & N.
