U. S. Court for Wllkesboro.
We see that Congressman
Klutz has introduced ar bill in
Gongress to" establish a falland
spring term ' of.- the United
States court at -Wilkesboro
This is right and the court by
all means should be established
Wilkesbord is centrally situa
ted in a section of the State
which furnishes a lot of Feder
al litigation, and it would . be
a .great economy to the Gov
ernment as well as the litigants
to establish a court here; Mr.
Klutz understands the situa
tion and ts doing the right
thing. All our people" should
do all they can to encourage
and assist Mr. Klutz in this
matter; and we hope our re
publican friends can use some
sort of influence upon their
representatives who have here
tofore been against us, and
persuade them to join in with
Klutz to get the court.

getting a bridge there. The
bridge is au absolute necessity
and we hope all those interested
will meet at the time and place
designated' and fully discuss
the matter, and agree upon
how to get the bridge. This
notice is given at the request
of such men asC. Call, A,. M.
Church, M. MbNeill,: E! S

scarcely be crossed and the
people of tnat section cannot
reach the depot or court house
and of course the trade is turn
ing elsewhere, mostly to Le
noir. There must be bridges
at -Hoi man's ford and Elkville
too and the sooner the better.
Mr. McNeill's Card.
Mr Editor:! see in your paper of
t&e 12jnst. where 3-oa state in referring
to a fire back of my house and - Mr.
Barbers Sunday last,. which you say o
riginated with some knee pants boys
g.nd cigarettes, and you further state
that the parents must obey the boys or
kids and-'stv&ild their cigaretis aDd oth
er meanness with "little white lies."
Now as the fire originated by some
act3 of Mrs. S. J. Prevette's boys in
iome. vvav I dont know how.- .
I suppose I am the parent referred to
as the boys 'ale in rcy carej especially
in the abscense of a good mother away
from home waiting on a sick brother,
that must bbe.y the kids and shield
them in cigarette and other . meanness.
Now, I wish to say I have" not lied in
the matter in any way whatever, dont
know how the fife originated, but by
some carelessness of. the ,boys, I sup
pose, and I ain as clear of telling white i
lies or black 1 ies" either to shield th e
boys or anybody else in a wrongs as the
Editor of The Ciiroxicj.e. I write this
because I think you have done me a
wrong which you should correct. -
