The statement of the Graded

matter has cutout much news
matter from this issue, but our
readers will find perhaps more
of interest to them in the arti
cles referred to.

"The Star of Bethlehem' an
especially impressive and inter

Among our new advertise
ments in this issue will be noted
the Lenoir Hardware & Furni

Dress Goods and Notions, and
the First National Bank gives
an additional reason for open

The little twenty months old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. It. W.
Hedrick, died last Monday after
an illness of several weeks from
whooping cough and other com
plications. The funeral was
conducted from the residence
Tuesday by Rev. A. S. Peeler
and the body interred in the
town cemetery.
Mrs. H. H. Green of Watauga
died last Monday after an ill
ness of some weeks. She was
s
preparing to come to the Foot
Hills Sanatorium here for treat
ment at the time of her death.
The deceased was about 50
years o age and a sister of the
late Rev. George W. 'Green,
Missionary to China and to
MesdarAes C. E. Thompson,
Mary Steele and Rebecca Coffey
of this'county.
Then!1 suggestion of nominat
ing fourteen men for tow com
missioners, as mentioned in the
last Issue of The News, seems
to miiet witli approval and it
has been suggested that four
teen be nominated also, for
Trustees of the graded school.
Thip would seem to be giving
all tvoters ample latitude to se
lect! from and the seven men re
ceiving the highest number of
votes for each board would be
elecjted.

In view of the fact that there
has been some misunderstanding
and wrong impressions afloat in
regard to the time for the elec
tron on a bond issue for the
Graded Schools, I make the fol
lowing statement, in order that
justice may be done to all pax
ties. I have examined a copy
of the bill ' and it is just as the
committee appointed at the mass
meeting recommend. ed. And
the reason there can be no elec
tion held for bondj on May the
first, is because legal notice of
thirty days prior to the election
is required.

CoL J. M. Ubcll Dead.
Our community was shocked
Tuesday by the announcement
that Col. J. M. Isbell, died Mon
day niirht at his home, about
fourtwn lMvs fvo'm tovvn. Ho
intirmaties of age and a compli
cation of diseases, but his con
dition was not considered criti
cal by his friends here. Lie
was in the Tilth year of his age
and is survived by a widow, !
three sons and three daughters.
The body was buried Wednes
day at the family burying
ground, the service being con
ducted by Elder W. R. Cottrell
of the Adventist church, of
which the deceased was a mem
ber. Col. Isbell was one of the
prominent men of our county,
wasyUolonel of the Militia before
the outbreak of the civil war,
wfts a courageous Confederate
soldier and rose to the rank of
captain of Company A. 22nd
North Carolina Regiment. He
served as County Commissioner
and held other offices of trust in
the County.
The Minister's Union will
meet Monday at the Manse.
The subject for discussion is,
Why does the church not reach
the masses?" Discussion to be
led by Rev. C. T. Squires.
E. N. Joyner, Pres.
A. S; Peeler, Secy.
Separate Meeting.
It has been thought best and
proper that a separate meeting,
for the selection of candidates
for School Trustees, be held
next Tuesday night and that the
Trustees for Graded School
should not be named at the
meeting tonight. This action is
thought best, as the school dis
trict embraces more territory
than the corporate limits of the
town and the effort to name can
didates for both town and school
at the same meeting will be con
fusing. A motion will be made
at the opening of the mass meet
ing tonight, to postpone the
nomination of school trustees
until another meeting to be held
Tuesday night.
We humbly suggest that those
Ensrlish suffragists who are
complaining of the ' indgnities'
to women in the Angelican mar
riaire service are either old
maids or grass widows.
With many men home is the
last resort.
