They are strictly law abiding people and peace mak ers. There has never been one indicted in the history of the county, which is a thing to be proud of. They never went to law with themselves or with others. Caldwell County is the gainer by having had the Pow ells as citizens. They are not office seekers or politicians, but have the reputation, which 4ihey richly deserve, of attending strictly to their own affairs and of wanting others to do the same. . THE END. C.
