The seventh grade gave a patriotic program in which (lav Haves was Uncle Sam and Mary Seehorn was Columbia, road to the Cone estate to Crandfa The various phases of our national ther mountain and Linville City, life were well represented. made the picture from the portico The sixth grade gave an old-time school ni which th old "Blue-,itors back spelier played the principal role. Millard Crisp was the teacher and each pupil played his or her part well. The tifth A and sixth B gave a lit tle play portraying in a very vivid and extremely ludricous manner the domestic difficulties attendant upon getting the children off to school We wish that we had auditorium paee enough to be able to invite all eur friends to these exercises, and we hope to when we get our splendid new building. Another chanel exercise which was especially eniovr. during the' ??. 1 k the. ono ,ven b.y Mlss ...... li.is virtue. 10 was a .vioin lf I Goose cantata and was we render- ed. The children in the unner erodes request that the primary grades come to chapel any time that they have a special program. The Forum will discuss the propo sition of additional road bonds for the county at its next meeting. They do this in recognition of the fact that under existing conditions the bonds formerly voted are but going to start to get the system of. roads that Caldwell needs. One of the most interesting con- tocta VQf u u; u li i i , , the Jl Jt sehh00lfhas h"d, the pleasure of-having part in was neia last rriday afternoon, when Robert Dula, James Dula, Max War lick, Charles McDade, Lefoy Tuttle and Greene Thompson competed for the honor to represent our high school in the annual declamation contest to be held at Trinity College on Friday after Thanksgiving. Le foy Tuttle won the place. They all used the same declamation, the title of which is "The University, the Training Camp of the Future." All the boys did well and the contest was close. The fire drill emptied the building in three and one-fourth minutes the best time ever made, at least within recent years. The Choral Society imet last Thursday night and had a splendid practice. This is a fine bit of much needed training that the upper grade folks are getting. They are going to help with the music for the Commu nity Christmas Tree. . Several paTents have visited the ohool lately and we were glad to see them. We would be glad to have all come. The school can only do its best work when it has the heart iets co-operation of all the patrons, and the way to have that is for them to come and see what we are trying to do here. : The Sigma Alpha, Sigma fcpsilon and Tan Omega scholarship societies have added many new members this month. 'These societies have as their purpose the honoring: of those who do good work as - well . as encouraging rood scholarship at all times. - t .1 1 , . . . " r A TRIP THROUGH THE MOUN- I TAINS FRED A OLDS. ! At Hickory the writer left with his companions Messrs. Kenneth Babinton of Gastonia and a R. Bradley of Old Fort, for the high ; mountain region. Mr. Babington's headquarters are now in the Bell , Telephone Company's central offices j for North and South Carolina at' Charlotte and Mr. Bradley is with' the Weaver Electric Co., of St. I Louis. Both graduated at the State 1 Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1910. These fine young men had : with them a daughter of Mr. Hewy i Ford, of Detroit, Michigan, her name j j being Elizabeth, and she is either a ; coupe or a limousine, as you choose ' to call her, but one of the most re liable of all of Uncle Henrv's numer- ous family. It may be said here and now that she churned her way, or wallowed, if you like, across some of the Blue Ridge region, finding the going excellent up the turn-pike from Lenoir to Blowing Rock, the wallowing h ing done the other side of the Rock and between Linvil city and Pinola. At the latter place Elizabeth was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Miller, m their barn, : quite near their own machine, which had not been out doors for two months, thereby escaping wet feet, for it rained all the time. ; The highway crosses Catawba riv-! er near Hickory on a superb open-: work concrete steel bridge; so built to offer as little resistance to i floods as possible, for the Catawba I rose over fortv feet in the great i freshet of July, 191t". and simply . ,, . , . ... i- imnflfpil the hridi'-e then in use. There had been terrible tales about the condition of the Blowing Rock turn-pike but the folks who own it had certainly been busy and we found it in excellent shape, restor- Sln the greatest rains had end ed. This year was marked in the mountains by two rainy months. I .r.1 k,in, ,,t Riu.in Kock on that roof of tho world. with an atmosphere which a down-stater who has been there d renins of. Fires and blankets, the first glow of au tumn in the woods, the superb flow- 1 ers at Chetola and the Cone estate and the beautiful residential section, the view was fair to see. j Blowing Rock is now marked by ; two stone churches, both built of stone picked from the region by the mountain folks and the wood-work done by their hands. One is a me morial of the Rev. Jethro Rumple, named for the noted 1'resbyterian preacher, of Salisbury; the other be- tmr th,- SttriTi,rf..ll,,vv M.minri.il Vni.;. v.,i ., .,.,-, c. i " , c.ii...,. whose charming wife, late mistress of beautiful Chetola, Kissed away , some mont.j ago. in Alabama. The church is Gothic and its square towq" will carry a chime of four bells. Over the altar a -uperb painting, the work of Mr. Elliot l'angertield. born in Fayetteviilr, now living in New York and widely known as an artist. The subject is the "Madonna of the ; Mountains." The mountain people ! believe that one day m each year the . Virgin Mother comes across the mountains with her infant Son in her' arms and this is the theme of this gerfield, whose home miles from Blowing is a couple f Rock, on the of his mansion and thousands of vis- tht eiiP come, .wiU press their admiration of his work. Mr. Sjrinfigellow says the Blowing Rock people are as tine workmen as there are in the country, as this church proves. Miss Ford under the direction of Mr. Babington, essayed on that day of her arrival at the Rock to iour- ney on t0 Ljnvlne Falls, the object ive point, but near the Dangerheld home, on a frightful stretch of road she fractured her spine and a new one had to, be ordered from Lenoir. After repairs she struck out again, and found the Yonahlossee, which shape in all its higher parts; this V,o.,lnn. k,,lH V... U... . old fellow Mr. William McRea. whose hftlKP iq sio well knnven nsi tha Viio-K es jnhabitated all the year round east of Denver, Colo. It is also right under the peak of Grandfather mountains; the most impressive mountain by far in the state, with wonderful views near and far; ex actly the sort of a mountain you figure in your imind as being the right thing. Mrs. McRae has gone blind, kind, dear creature that she is, and the writer shares her hus band's grief at this calamity. Their home has been a joyous place, with me ciuuus wiupping uy over me shoulder of the mountain, right on (u v, m d;'j. i.u -i . J ...i-: : 1 a 1 the crest of the Blue Ridge; with roaring fires and the gripping swirl of the bag-pipes, played as only a Scotchman can play them ; pipes sent by the piper of the late lamented Kink Edward the Seventh ofGreat Britain. Mr. McRae is a great ad mirer of our mutual friend, Hugh McRae, of Wilmington, who is al ways spoken of by his as "The Mac Rae," just as Benehan Cameron, of Raleigh, is the head of the great Clan Cameron in the United States, since the Heath of Sir Roderick Cameron of New York. Linville City was found almost de serted, its fashionable folks having departed by rail,- on the East Ten nessee and Western North Carolina narrow-gage, by way of Johnson City, Tenn. After leaving Linville City the real thing in mud was met, with hog-wallows galore, until at Pinola the limit was reached. That placehas two streets forming an L and the first one reached is the star mud hole of the United States. Any good roads enthusiast who sees' it will shout for joy, for it giveB the enemy of roads into his hands, and no mos3-back opponent of real high ways can say one word after he bakes a look at it. Miss Ford "wal lowed through," as a pinola native gracefully put it, and it was decided to leave the. dear child and to go, for ward on foot. Mrs1. C. E. Miller played the part of guardian angel and Miss Ford purred with delight a she snuggled, up in the miller barn, within a few yards of the tove lyLinvflle river,-.; A GASOLINE HOBO BL W. I ENGLAND Th Ex-Dop Editor Who U Touring th United State in an Automobile. Your editor, who has kept track of me. by occassional correspondence and who bslieves the News readers would like to hear of my travels, has asked me to write of my experien ces. Ihis I will endeavor to do from time to time and trust the News Topic subs and bums as well may get some fun and maybe some imagina tion of value out of this western dope they are about to receive. Bums as referred to above are those too stingy to pay for a good county paper but somehow or other are al ways able to say "Yes, I seen by the paper about a $100.00 reward for an unduplicatable lens" or someth ing. Quite a few years ago, I re call one family down Dealville way who took the Topic and eight neigh boring families who read it for noth ing. While this rustic reading club was in full swing the editor, on two meals a day and a hole in his "ants t probably Mark Squires theni was either wondering how he would get the next roll of print paper out of the express office or was figuring on a scheme whereby an editor could publish a readable sheet one year on two pumpkins, one load of wood, and 1200 promises. Referring to occassional corre spondence between the Ed. and my self am just in receipt of some dozen or miore copies of the News Topic, being the first printed news I have had from home since July 1st. Everything naturally was of inter est, even the headline "Bridgewater Dam Full For First Time." This of course set me thinking and my mind wandered back to the first time I was. Reminiscent joy, tho, because gloom immediately on seeing on see ing where J. Will Sudderth missed the circus. Then joy again ofter reading how J. W. Sudderth was get ting along so good since he'd been taking Doan's Kidney Pills for a spell. One has only to do without a thing for awhile to appreciate it. The copies 1 received were jammed full of good reading matter, all ab out Gypsy Smith and his wonderful preaching Mr. Allen and his songs. Was glad to Jearn that Thomas A. Edison was in Lenoir and was want ing to entertain everybody in their homes, and that Gordon Ballew had a sure cure for rheumatism "called "Rheuma" he was letting his friends have at t' bits a bottle, and that Joe Trice was wanting some hides pretty bad and was willing to pay for 'em. Anl that Wade McGowan and Archie Kent were both trying to get rid of their flivvers, and 'that T. B. Swan son has a fresh cow, and that W. F. Wakefield has some all leather shoes for sale . This reminds me of a fel low ni Butte, Mont., who wanted to sell me a pair he said was all leather. I bought on dnow, after 6 weeks wear 1 know why he was so anxious to sell. Owing to the scarcity out here, there's a law against hoarding paper. I shouldn't worry though as I got a wonderful bargain in iaces and the holes for them seem to be a very superior grade of holes to say nothing of the excellent thread used in the seems and the correct shaped iron nails in the heels. That A. A. Blackwelder evident ly expected Judgment Day pretty soon as he has a little machine guar anteed to make bricks which will last 'til then that "Mother Nature ob jects to Force" and "Grandma Never Lets her hair get grey" and that A. N. Todd was kept mighty busy dur ing August (measuring the rainfall. That Mrs. Craddock had an infor mal tea with punch that Caldwell failed to break even in the recent census by 695 and there was no'joy; now a Chamber of Commerce is or ganized and there is Joy that there was "Lost between Lenoir and Val mead one drive chain off a Smith form-a-truck B. S. Co." The natural supposition -is that when a drive chain came off, the car stops. It seems tho, in this case, the driver drove on into town unaware of his loss. If this be true, why advertise for its return? On the other hand I'm sure the N-T Ed. would gladly publish account of this truck's suc cessful operation without the. drive chain free of charge Then there was Rufe Brown's yarns about planting corn and a pumpkin vine growing up with pumpkins full of shelled corn, etc. This reminds me of a farmer we talked to in Brookings, S. Dak. He iff' ! 3 555asHSHSHSsaHSHsasscHssFassHs5HSHSHSHSHs5sss5Hss?5 Sale of Registered Holsteins Barium Springs Orphanage Caws, bulls, heifers and calves, many of them regis tered and of best strain.

SALE TO BEGIN AT 10 O.CLOCK THURSDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 11. f i Terms of sale, all bills under $100.00 cash, over that amount, a credit of six months,' purchaser to ex-j ecute not with approved security negotiable 'aiad'pay-.:' able at Commercial National Bank, Stateaville, N.C' J. C. E. Mc. said the soil in his county was so rich it would grow anything.-) I ask ed him about corn, said he never bothered much about corn but a neighbor planted a hill each year and stood by with an ax to cut off the ears. He said a couple a years ago his friend stopped to spit on his hands and lost most of his crop. Probably the most interesting item of all is where one. paper tells about Miss Dorothy J., a maid of 22 with J40.000, away off down m Jacksonville, Fla. all by her self at 1817 Hubbard St., lonesome and wanting someone between the age of 21 and 60 to come keep her and the $40,000 company. Altho I have a Dorothy on the string in Washington D. C. (black-headed and pretty good-looking), am mailing Dorothy; J. my application, stating that as I i have never been anybody's husband i I should be extra good in that respect , and so far as taking care of the 40,- j 000 bucks that was just my speed, j I'm just naturally chicken hearted and can't help it. Can you imagine Gene Miller, or Sam Tuttle, or Laur ie Hall, or Geo. Moore or any other j one of Lenoir selfish old bachelors even thinking of helping this poor girl way down in Florida? If she ac cepts my offer, believe me, I'm going down even if Hubbard St. is in the Everglades and I have to borrow Mr. Todd's boat. At any rate, whatever Dorothy has to say, you will be duly informed. The fly in the ointment appears to be in the conspicuous ab sence of any reference to either form or pulchritude with (my imagina tion however, and her $40,000 I'm sure the fly would scarcely be notice able. Then in another copy there's a short story about Miss Mildred, also of Jacksonville, who wants a compan ion and caretaker for her $40,000. As stated above tho, I shall go after Miss Dorothy and leave Miss Mild red to some other within the Osier limit Ronda Horton, for instance. For the benefit of those unac quainted with me either personally or thru the Dope Column which ran sev eral years ago in the Lenoir News will state briefly that I am a sandlapper by birth, a Tar Heel from two years up by accident, a Cald well and Lenoirite for a number of years by choice; a Washingtonian for years thru choice, patriotism ami prospects of at least paying some of the debts contracted while living in eLnoir by choice; and at present a Gasoline Hobo for no good reason at all. For the benefit of a few personal friends thereabouts who may suspect this trip to be the result of an unfor tunate love affair between a red headed Yankee Pa. chicken and yours truly, will state that such is not the case. Three sleepless nights followed the grand finale; at the end of the week I was able to take nourishment; after the second week Beatrice Fair fax's stuff seemed silly and the comic sheet got funny again; and when three weeks had rolled by nothing re mained of my matrimoial imisadven ture save the sad memory of a year wasted in riotous courtin' and the dollar misspent for one marriage cer tificate. The year of course cannot be recalled, but there's hope for the dollar, as the brunette above referred to may be reasonable and stand for a simple erasure and her name instead.
