Texas is visiting relatives here. He has been in the standing army and came from Fort, Monroe to this place and he will probably return in a few weeks. The musical entertainment at Mr. Edgar Spainhour's on Taursday night was a decided success, and a neat little sum was realized for the benefit of the new Baptist, church. Mr. Charles Taylor and Miss Lillie Taylor, of Durham, arrived Saturday to visit their sister Mrs. Cranor who has been very sick glad she is very much, improved. The stockholders of the K nda and Statesville Tele phone line will meet at Jen nings' Mill on the 12th of this nonth. The stock holders ex pect to have the line in opera tion within 60 days. Lawyer Hendren- returned from Charlotte, Saturday. He speaks in glowing terms of the Meckleubnrg roads and the progress of Charlotte and, the several towns contiguous, to that good roads section.- Why do not our people realize that we can. not progress until we have good roads and good schools? " Mr. Frank Blair and Miss Estelle Davis stole a march on their many friends last Thurs day n i g ti t by gettin g married They both attended the enter tain men t at Mr. Edgar Spain hour's that night, and. while the others enchanted with the music, recitations, etc., this couple silently went across to the nex5 block' where preacher' Qreene lives and were tied to gether for life. Here's our most hearty good. wishes. Mr. C. C Wrightr County Superintendent,:who . attended the Educational Rally down J at Greensboro last, week, icame back hone very much enthused .and encouraged in the J. grand educational movement, r Heis thoroughly imbued -with the importance and magnitude of the movement, and talks.vedu cation allthe time. He tells us that . the-. Southern Educa tional bureau will, duplicate any amount- which , any coin? munity will '- raise . by special taxation or contribution for school purposes. - Here is an opportunity worthy of serious consideration. The two towns could easily set a worthy ex ample f 9 r 1 h e res t c f t he county, by taking advantage "of this offer. 5 In fact, why could -the towns not; establish - graded schools', jointly if possiblei or seperately if necessary? Other, communi ti es wi fch less -popula tion are establishing graded sehools and a re tak ing , ad v an , tago o this educational offer. Think of this; we will talk laore of this later, M - j W. Holmes is here. -pWill McElwee, of Ronda, was up Sunday. , t " --John Wellborn is home ...... t . - . frcm Booneville school. . --Willie Johnson is very sick at Booneville school. r --Mrs. W. G.

' " : Miss Mamie Transeau who has been visitinsf at Statesville anji Charlotte came in Tuesday accompani edy'Miss Blanche Turner, of Statesville. They will go on to Ashe this wei k 4-There was an old fashioned country wedding down at Osr bornvilla last week. A. A. Cass and Miss Fannie Finney were married on the 2nd. and Wl C. Myers performed the ceremony they say he trem bled some and looked scared, t he got the knot tied all ht. An infair was given at Mrs. Polly Cass' next day , and that night there was an old co in try serenade that startled th ) natives for miles around. With good roads, bridges, new court house and such like, Wilkes would be what she nat urally is, the best all around county in the State. We need ro ids and bridges and educa tion. Each depends upon the ot ler and each is an incentive to the other. The idea that we are too poor to do these things ist taking the wrong end of the question. The fact is we are too poor not to do these things. The county is going to wreck for lack of education d roads. Farms are neglect an e for cross-ties, pins and staves, and we continually get w6rse off financially. Give us good roads, education,, bridges, etc.. and our people will come back to their senses iust like I-V -Vi r t1 rltt-ta i n VT lr 1 o n i FarsonsvUIe item1, - Hi Church has moved his stock of goods to Summit.
