Our Supplement.
Wo present onr readers this
week a very neat and valuable
supplement, containing a full
directory of Wilkesboro.
Nearly every business a the
town is represented as is every
professional man. It presents
a very beautiful show for
Wilkesboro, and a very, credi
table one too. This Directory
gives at a glance tho business
of Wilkesboro as it
while in the center is
short general write
hope our readers will
is now,
given . a
up. We
appreci-
ate our. efforts in getting up
this directory and also the en
terprise of the people
Wilkesboro which enabled
to succeed, j
While tho showing made
of
us
for
Wilkesboro on this supplement
is very creditable, it should be
remembered, we have just be
gan to build. The railroad has
only been here for oue year,
and a large part of the business
represented upon the supple
ment has grown up since then.
But the bnilding boom is just
beginning. Several houses are
in process of erection, and ma
ny others contemplated. We
hope t& be able to show you in
another year a town of greatly
increased dimensions and pro
portions. Our buildings now going up
are substantial ones, indica
tive of the substantial spirit of
progress in our midst and the
faith our people have in the fu
ture of our town and country.
The editors, who visitid our
place after Press Convention
are saying some nice things a
bout us. We shall quote more
from them next week. We
wish now however to thank
them all for their kind words.
The Pres3 & Carolinian gives
an account of a remarkableesJ
cue in 5urJce uounty. iv cmiu
fell in a well 45 feet deep. The
father jumbed in after it Nei
ther child nor father was 1 in
jured in the jump and both
were rescued.
Owing to the falling of the
tower of Trinity College build-.
ing at Durham, the College can.
not be completed in time to be
gin school as was coutemplated.
Hence it has been decided to o
pen school at the old Trinity
College. The fall term will o
pen there on September 3, and
continue there until the new
building at Durham is com
pleted. Editor Scott of tho Topic was
elected Annual Orator at the
last Press Convention at Wins
ton. He thus compliments the
conventton: !
."The North Carolina Press
Association knows a silver
tongued orator when it sees
one.'

Jim Cook," Joe
Al Fairbrother,
received from
Caldwell, and
say that the e-
lection of Scott as orator was
simply a compliment duo old
age, and they hardly expect
Scott to be able on account of
age to attend next time. But
we'll bet on Scott making one
of the best speeches tne con
vention has ever heard. 'J f

A 2Iule Dies With Hydrophobia.
Lewis Harris, colored ' who
lives two milfis from town, had
a mule to die .With hydrophobia
I ,
on the morning of the 21st.
The mule had been bitten on
the 18th of July, by Harris's
dog which-was suddenly taken
mad that morning. The mule
shawed no signs of madness un
til 22 days afterwards. Thurs
day morning! the 20th, a boy
was riding the mule to mill.
In crossing the creek the mule
drank heartily of the water,
but went only a short distance
further till it began trembling
and fell, throwing the boy" and
his corn. The mule got up and
the boy put the sack of corn up
again, but the mule again fell,
and appeared perfectly wild.
The boy tied the mule and went
home for his father, who came
and led the mule home, and fas
tened him in the stable. . The
mule kept getting worse, arid
was seized every little bit with
terrible convulsions, trembting(
terribly, falling, kicking, 4
groaning, rearing up, pawing!
and bitmc: the loss of the sta-
ble, trying to climb the wallT
foaming and frothing at tho
mouth, his ears flapping wild
ly, and his eyes distended and
glaring like !a demou,s. It was
agonizing to see tho wildness
of the actions of tho mule.
1
This was kept up, with inter
vals of quiet; until about 2 o'
clock Friday Morning when the
mule died.
A large number of town citi
zens here, including physicians,
rsaw the mule in its madness,
and there's no fiction about it.
It is understood that the dog
that bit the mule, bit several
dogs in the neighborhood. Ev
ery dog that had any opportu
nity to bo bitten ought to be
shot immediately. Human life
is too valuable to be lost by
means of worthless dogs. Just
think of it. I It would be awful
1
to see anybpdydie, mad and
frothing'vtith hydrophobia.
uacis
from Dr. Caldwell's
Be-t
scription of his Trip to the
State of Wilkes.
StatccvUlo Landmark.
By 11 we were ar North "Wilkesboro
and found a host of people in the rail
road yasd and on the hillside to greet
the visitors. These were escorted to
the Hotel Gordon, which is kept by Mr.
G. A. Allison, who once worked in the.
Statesville depot, and in due time , din
ner was served. The sudden onset of
such a crowd "would tax any ordinary
hotel but the Gordon was equal to the
occasion and j furnished an abundant
and excellent dinner in capital style.
After dinner conveyances provided
and tho visitors were driven over a part
of the property of the North "Wilkesboro
Land Company. This property has a
long railroad front and lies advanta
geously. Much heavy and expensive
work has been done in grading, build
ing culverts, &c, and the company's
prospects are good. There is as certain
ly a future for the "Wilkesboros, old and
new, as her,e is for any locality in the
State. "When the outside world learns
what that country is and what it has, it
will as certainly gravitate to it as the
needle does to the magnet.
From North Wilkesboro the process
ion crossed the river on tha new hand
some iron dridge and drove through the
old town. To one who has not been
there for a number of years the improve
ment is very marked and was noted
with gratification. A stop was made ' at
the new hotel, where lemonade was
partaken of, and shortly thereafter
those who were booked to return by the
special rain headed toward the depot.
A supper had. been tendered the excur
sionists at the new hotel but not more
than ten or a' dozen could remain over
and I was of this number. lion. "W.
II. II. Cowles titilized the remainder of
the afternoon, following the breaking
up of the driving party, in driving three
of us into the brushy Mountains, ; to
Smottk Springs, five miles from! Wilkes
boro, and thence higher up on the
mountain. This spring, picturesquely
situated, is strong of iron and is a great
resort for the people oi "Wilkesboro.
fcThe mountain yiews, Jtiigner ; up, are
veryfine, the scenery at points quite,
wila, and over beyond the Brushles one
easily traces the Blue Ridge. ,
l"r"to n t lh Cm"
; pany -was gone but the citizens were
1 bidden to tea at the new hotel,, whicii
J had just been opened, and it was crowd-
ed. The hotel is a little gem and will
lbubtless be well kept by ! Mr. II. M.
Staley, who is in charge. The building
is of brick, the arrangement is conven
ient and the rooms are of just good size.
An air well in the 'center furnish
es thorough vontilation, so that there is
practically not an inside room in the
house. The rooms are carpeted and
prettily furnished in oaki Every ' bed
has a woven-wire mattress and all the
bedding is new, as are all ; the furnish
ings of the house of v j every sort.
"Wilkosboro certainly has cause for pride
in her new hotel. It would do credit
to any place and it furnished a . whole
some and tempting supper on what was
really its opening evening.
I enjoyed very greatly myfew hours
stav with ' those good, friends at the
AVilkesboros. Borrowing an idea I may
say, with a slight change ; of language,
doilbtless God could have made a clev
erer people, but he nevet did. They
were all hospitality, courtesy and atten
tion, and it was an inexpressible pleas
ure to f eeJ-hefr cordiaTIian4grasp, to
renew acquaintaces, to give anareceive
again the vows of friendship.
JCDaniels on the "State o

After dinner we enjoyed a drive over
the property of the North Wilkesboro
Company, and through the old town of
Wilkesboro and its' surroundings. On
the same night the deople of Wilkes
boro gaVe a banquet, which was enjoyed
not only by the editors, but by most of
the citizens and their wives. This e
vent marked the opening of the large
brick hotel at Wilkesboro, which has
just been completed and which is a
credit to the enterprise of Wilkesboro.
Probably the most enjoyable trip of
the pleasant jaunt was a driva behind
horse of Mr. Fer3usoa, who knew ev
ery foot of the country, its people and
traditions. He, together with the ac
complished lady who was one of the
party, added to the pleasures of the
drive by interesting facts connected
with tlie history, praducts and advan
tages of the State of Wilkes. Upon the
top of Brushy Mountains there were
three things to bring pleasure and ad
miration; 1. The scenery is beautiful beyond
description. You stand upon a beauti
ful mountain and look away to the west
over "orchards bending with their
wealth of fruit; on the beautiful Yad
kin and its fertile valley bearing luxu
rious crops; upon neat and attractive
homes nestling in the sides of pictur
esqe hills; upon Wilkesboro which is
putting on youthful airs and new dress
es, uyon the new Wilkesboro ready like
a youth to run a race. These afford a
picturefto attract and to please. But,
after gazing upon this scene, you look
up andjbeyond them and your eyes rest
upon the far-off range of the Blue
Bidge with its ha3y outline upo the
horizoA. The whole view is so full of
grandeur and peacefulness as to make
you linger upon it and carry away the
beautiful panorama in your mind.
2. The fruit on Brushy Mountain is
plentiful and luscious. By good luck
We met Dr. Ellis, who lives surround
by a magnificent orchard, and he gen
erously gave us of peaches and apples
to eat and to bring away. The apples
up here keep until spring, and the fruit
in this mountain never fails. Frost
falls on the valleys and the fruit and
vegetables are destroyed, but here we
are in the isothermal belt and frost
never comes. It i3 only a question of
time when wheu lands on the Brushy
Mountains will be worth more than!
lands in. the valleys; and when the
shipment of apples, peacdes and grapes
will be the best , industry ; in Wilkes
county
3. nere upon the top of the Brushy
are two springs one of clear mountain
water and the other 1 of clear mineral j
water. ' They are the property of Mr.
D. E. Smoak who has. built a- pavilion
here and crenerouslv onens his rrounds.
springs, and pavilion to the public.

Fair Dealing, Economical Management, Hinimum profits and a
LARGE VOLUME OF BUSINESS,
Has been our aim and policy and has contributed cliiefly, we
believe, to the success we have thus far attained. f
It has become a well known fact and 13 said to the credit of oar people that merchan
dise or every description is sold cheaper in Western North Carolina than anywhere in
the Sooth. New Yorkers frequently say to na: '-Why, yoa folks sell goods cheaper
than we do here." Thw vre a"re pleased to admH and iris not a revfclition to many of
