McNutt of the Fine Cattle for Catawba Farms The Democrat briefly referred last week to the importation into this county by several of our pro gressive farmers of 13 head of thorough-bred Jerseys. This is an event worthy of further men tion. These cows and calves, for there were a few calves, came from the farm of Mr. Robt. Scott, of Alamance. The sire of his bull and the grandsire of these cows was Eminent 11, of the Bowman farm near Salem, Va. This bull was imported and is valued at $lO,OOO, so it will be seen what thoroughbred stock is being brought into Catawba countv. The Dutch Dairy Farm gets eight, the White-Oak Dairy farm three and Mr. P. G. Herman two of these Jerseys. A couple of greese were thrown in by Mr. Scott as a present to the Catawba County Street Fair. Death of Mrs. C. L. Whitener On last Sunday morning just as the Church bells were ringing, Ora Cornelia, wife of Attorney C. L. Whitener, after a very pro tracted illness most patiently en dured, passed from the trials of earth to the peace and joy of heaven. She leaves a husband and two little boys, a father, mother, three brothers and two sisters, and a host of relatives and friends, who while profoundly grieved over the death of one so warmly loved and esteemed, yet sorrow not as those who have no hope. For in the life of faith and love and patience that she lived here, are found such evidences as lead to the confident hope that she has entered into that rest that remaineth for the people of God. The funeral services were held by her pastor in Holy Trinity Lutheran Church on Monday at 3 P. M.A large concourse of kind red and friends attended these services, testifying thereby to the univeraffection and esteem in which she was held. "Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The Life that knows no ending, The tearless Life is there." Animal Husbandry Department, of the latter college, will judge the cattle.

Over, to Mr. J. P. Low man's sped Mr. N. S. Dasher, of the Hickory Electric Co. in his dandy little hill-climbing Max well automobile. The editor of the Democrat went along for company. "Jim", said Mr. Dasher, to Mr. Lowman, "I'm just bound to have these telephone poles, 35 feet long, by the first of No vember." 'Til get them out as soon as I can," replied Mr. Lowman. "But I'm building a line to the new cotcon mill in Hickory, the A. A. Shuford Mill, and I have got to have these poles right away." "I'll get'em out as soon as I can," replied Mr. Lowman with dogged non-committal. "I've got my corn to get in and a good many other things to do." "Well, Pll give you a little better price if you will have them at Hickory bv Nov. 1." "I tell you I'll get ,em out for just as soon as I can," You cant make a mountaineer promise to do more than he thinks he can do. And yet Mr. Dasher knows good and well that while Mr. Lowman would not be positive he will have his big mules and mountain boys hauling those poles into Hickory by the first day of next month. Mr. Lowman # runs a little coun try store at the' foot of the South mountains some miles from Con nelly Springs. At the same he t'arms and does some business in timber, and is a man of influence in the community. On the way back home we met Mr. D. S. Lail, a gigantic mountaineer and one of the most intelligent farmers we have run across. He showed his intelligence when he said: "The Progressive Farmer is the best farm paper I ever read." Mr. Lail is thinking of exhibiting some stock at the Hickory Fair. He has a Jersey cow which is a wonderful milker, and is giving over 2 1-2 gallons of milk a day. Mr. Lail s brother, a hard working one-armed man, was at work in his field, where several of his sons were plowing. He has a beautiful farm with a com fortable farm house. In one of the out houses we saw an old time loom, on which many a yard of linsev has been made in time past but which has not been used now in ten years. It put Dasher in mind of old times, as he used to make carpets on one just like it in his old home in West Vir ginia. # _ Another leading citizen in this section is Mr. W. A. Hildebrand. Though the snow which never melts is settling thickly upon his head, he is still a hard worker, and he and his sturdy young son were met by the side of the road, getting in corn. Mr. Hildebrand is a great reader, and takes all kinds of papers and magazines. Mr. Kiser was still another good citizen met up with in that section, which is one of the most picturesque in Western North Carolina. He Hid up the Chimney Charles Hand, of Alexander county, was arrested a few days ago at the home of Mr. Teague in Alexander county. The war rant against him was for fighting. The man had taken refuge at the Eague home. Deputy Sheriffs Duncan and Stafford went to the house at night and found the man's clothes there, indicating that he had been sleeping in the house. He was finally located up the chimney. Reaching the Top In any calling of life, demands a vigorous body and a keen brain. Without health there is no success. But Electric Bitters is the greatest Health Builder the world has ever known. It compels perfect action of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, purifies and enriches the blood, tones and invigorates the whole system and enables you to stand the wear and tear of your daily work.
