TO THE CEMETERY.
Dr. Calvin J. 1'arlier.
Dr. Calvin J. Parlier died at the
sanatorium in Charlotte Wednesday
evening.
Doctor Parlier was a kind physician
and often went to his patients when his
own health was involved; his patients,
or the home folks of his patients, would
go for him and take him seemingly
against his protest and when at the
hotel in Blowing Hock last summer
not able physically to conduct a prac
tice he was picked up in buggy or
automobile and hauled away miles.
His mother, Mrs. T. P. Parlier of
Moravian Falls his old home vil
lage, survives him, with two broth
ers, Messrs. J. R. Parlier of Moravian,
and Mr. C. E. Parlier of this place.
Dr. Parlier's remains arrived here
yesterday at noon and were taken to
Moravian Falls. The Charlotte Ob
server says of him:
"Dr. C J. Parlier, one of the best
known and most beloved physicians of
Caldwell county, who for the past
many years had lived at Blowing
Rock and practiced in the several ad
joining counties, passed away at the
Charlotte Sanatorium last night at 1 1
o'clock, where he had been under
treatment for some time. Doctor
Parlier had been suffering with hard
ening of the arteries and was brought
to Charlotte for treatment November
6th. Eveiything that could be sug
gested was resorted to but the high
est of medical skill was unavailing.
For the past day or two he had been
in extremis and his death was but a
question of hours. Mr. and Mrs. R.
L. Scroggs, the latter a sister, were
with him when the end came. From
time to time vorious friends in Blow
ing Rock had journeyed down to see
him.
"Doctor Parlier was well past mid
dle, aga. and Jiad never married. He
was president of the local bank at
Blowing Rock and . was a man of
means. His greatest possession,
however, was the abiding love and
affection of all the mountain peo
ple with whom he resided and among
whom he practiced for so many
years.
"The remains will be carried to
Moravian Falls, Wilkes county, this
morning, where the interment will
take place."
Rev. Edward Long, N. Wilkesboro,

LET THE LADIES
KNOW AT ONCE
The ladies of the Associated
Charities want to again remind
you that they need help to carry
out their plans for the help of
the poor for Christmas.
They have decided not to ask
the children of the graded school
for help as they are afraid of
causing embarrassment to some
children that are not able to
contribute. They want to avoid
this. They want a free will off
ering from those who are able
to give. They want every little
boy and girl in North Wilkesboro
to have a pair of shoes and some
kind of a wrap so they can en
ter school when it opens on the
4th of January. They are not
trying to help a crowd of the
unworthy. Every case where
they give help is investigated.
Everybody who will help in a
small way will please phone Mrs.
Rogers at the Blue Mont hotel
at once. If more convenient you
can leave your donation with
Mrs. W. R. Wilkins, Ure. W. R.
Absher or Mrs. R. M. Brame, mem
bers of the advisory committee.
The merchants who will give
a pair of shoes, a hat, a coat, a
dress pattern, fruit, candy, toys,
or anything will please let the la
dies know at once.

COLD GOES AFTER
THE APPLE CROP
During the cold weather first of the
week it is thought that hundreds and
perhaps thousands of bushels of ap
ples have gone to the bad out on the
Brushy mountain and in this part of
the State. Among the losers are Mr.
Mr. Joe Gentle and H. H. Moorehouse
. . . V 0
near tne tfrusny Mountain iron &
Lithia Springs; Mr. T. J. Tedder 200
bushels. Those of Mr. Moorehouse
were packed in barrels.
Mr. Gentle had fortunately sold
some of his apples, but had a number
of bushels on a loft of his house
stored in bushel boxes, which, though
just above where a fire-place afforded
a big heat until usual bed-time, the
apples were frozen hard as walnuts
Wednesday morning.
While it is thought that apples in
the best apple houses are safe yet
hundreds of bushels at least, if not
j thousands, have gone the way of en
tire loss to the folks of Brushy Moun
tain and throughout this section of
North Carolina. Along the Yadkin
the mercury registered 6 degrees
above with hard snow since Sunday.
Personals from Bethel.
