Don t forget the date of the Farmers' Institute for this county which will be held at Walter Finiey's farm ne&r North Wilkesbbro on Friday July 30. Every farmer should attend this meeting. Mr. N. L. Church, of Ad ley stole a march on his friends some timeago, and was mar ried to Miss Minerva Parsons, of Buck postoffico. The mat ter was kept quiet until a few days ago when it leaked out. We extend our congratula tions. The management tells us that-the contract has been let for tiie erection of the grand stand in the fair grounds, the building lo be sixty by one hundred feet, first story to be used for exhibits; and also for the erection of an exhibit hall, 24 by 72 feet, t'vo stories high Capt. Blair, who has charge of the construction of the race track, will commence work next week, and the track will soon be completed and ready for the training of local hor.ses. Quite a number of horses, we understand, will be entered for the valuable and numejous cash prizes offered by the Fair Association. Over one hun dred stalls and stables, besides lots for herds, will be provided for the housing and safekeep ing of the fine stock which tte management is assured will be entered. The grounds, enclos ures, tracks and the buildings will be ' completed in ample time, and put in first c!ass shape, so that nothing will be lacking to insure one of the very best fairs to be found any where in ail the western part of. the State. Fair week will be a regblar gala week for all Wilkes county, and will be-4 largely participated in by ihe people of all-the surroundii gr counties. . - - The wool schedule in tl e new tariff bill is nothing, short of legalized robbery of nine- tentbs of the people of this country for the benefit of a few sheep raisers in the west. Heaven knows the present r 1 '!.' rates on wool and woolen pro ducts are high enough. It i$ said, however, that under the ew law a suit that now costs BIO -will' cost $VZ 50, and a suit that now;costs $15: will under khe new. law cost $18 and so on.

Bunglets and Sonkers. Bro. Daniels declines to be i leive that bunglets and sonkers are old fashioned pies like our mothers used to make. We quote from the Newa and Ob server:, "Themis but one thing lacking in Brother Deal's tempting and appetizing description of the "Sonker," and 'bunglet" and that is that he failed to send down a "sonker" and'a "bunglet" to Raleigh to be enjoyed by the barba rians of the capital. Nothing else will convince the Eastern's ignorance that a "bunglet" is just an old fashioned fam ily pie like ',our mothers used to make" and that a "conker" is & poem in pastry and mountain apples "built in sections, several stories high, like a modern sky scraper, and flavored only as a mountain queen can.' The editor, of course, would prefer an invitation to Wilkes boro to eat a bunglet on its native heath and to spct with "a young mountain queen at a sonker supper and cake walk" if he ha& invitation and a re turn ticket to Wilkesboro. But, in the absence of either of the real "sonker" or "bunglet," with no invitation to come up and "sport With a mountain queen at a sonker supper and cake walk" he declines to believe that the definition given by The Chronicle is correct. It is more than likely that the Rhamkatte Rooslpwas right when it said that a "bunglet" was an intoxicat ing drink that comes out of a bung, and a "sonker" a new name for "ni bear" or "ni-moonshine" that enterprising Wilkesboro folks are getting ready to put on the market as a money-making scheme. Can it be that the ordinarily fi ank Chronicle is into the "ni-moonshine schemes and into the "ni-moonshine scheme and scent? The- name "lunglet" would be, as they say in Rhamkatte "a James Q dandy" name for ni-nioonshine. It sounds suspi ciously of the bung in the barrel. And "sonker" is better than any name yet invented for a tempting soft drink. Keep your eye out for those ni-drinke sent our from Wilkesboro. The News and Observer is trying to side step with certain insinuations about drinks and slurring the good name of our favorites, Bunglets, Sonkers and cake walks. No, Brother, a bunglet is not a new name for a drink but it is the old Dutch name for family pie, and a sonker is uot a soft drink but the same old Dutch name for the huge pies 'and cakes of our mothers. And we here and now put the latch string on the outside of the door and invite the editor to come up and eat and be convinced. Dr. Turner will meet him at the train with his automobile and in the home of sheriff McEwen, Col. Rufus Horton or Maj. A. M. Vannoy, with Bill 5arber, Tom Finley and Frank Hendren as .witness to this unwarranted fling at Wilkeswill.be settled to the satisfaction of our highly es teemed but skeptical contem porary. A. well. known State republi can said to Tom Pence in Washington the Other day: "Charlie Cowles has splayed hell with the republican party in North Carolina "Just about the time we5 thought we had things going good, he comes along and throws the fat in the fire by introducing an oloV Re constriictionTmeasure that has no earthly chance of passiog. He has made a mistake, the damage of which he cannot re pair. -r It is too la te to make a correction of tnis error, which leaves us in a bad - hole. ,Our other Congressman, Grant and Mpreheadj have got too much sense ta-be'eaugbin any - such trap, and they; will never nive thei r approval of this -: Cow 1 es measure;; which - ought to be i R-epudiated by. every republican in North Cnrolina who really desiresTto seCthe .- party. , crry tlisTB tate J' ' - : -: - pirect and Indirect. North Wilkesboro It should pe a matter ofpride to every citizen-- of - Wilkes county that this county leads all other counties in thje State in the, number of rural libra ries. The spirit that" made, possible - the installation of theseSibraries is significant in deed. It is a distinct rift in the dark clouds of illiteracy and gloom that have hovered over the county ever since the war. It is the old time charac ter of our people re-asserting itself and coming to the front. Instead of still houses, de bauchery and ruin, we are to have school houses, refinement and culture. It is hopeful, it is refreshing, it is exhilarating to the restless spirit. There now-roam the hills of Wilkes county hundreds of boys jvith as much brains as an equal numbor of boys any where else in the w-orld passer. The door of opportunity is now wide open to them, and all they have to do is to wake up and go to reading. This will reveal to them what they are as nothing else will do. It ia like ringing a rising bell in the dormitory of theirs uls. Once a boy has acquired a fondness for reading .wholesome litera iure, he has made a "strike" that will put him on the run for the several basis of a suc cuessfui life career. Even if he never gets beyond "second" it is better than to never have run at all. Let the boys and girls of the connty make full use of these libraries, and let their mothers and fathers encourage" them to do this. And every teacher will signally fail in her duty unless she stimulate in the minds of her pupilssome sort of eagerness to read the books in the rural library. This is her opportunity to do her great est and most lasting work, that which will live longest after she is gone and for which her pupils, in after years, wiil feel most grateful to her. It is something for a good woman to remember that she has had the privilege of even teaching a great preacher, a great statesman, or a great lawyer, as she sees great throngs ,sur veyed and thrilled by his elo quence, but it is much more for her to have the conscious ness that she first touched the lever that set the motor of a great mind to moving.- THE WORLDS GREATEST SEWING MACHINE LIGHT RUNNING.
