BURGLARS
)fn a Safe of the Ordinary
Kind with Ridiculous Ease.
They very seldom care to tackle
burglar-proof vaults like those h?
The Bank ofTjiyon. The wise
man will, therefore, open up an
account there and thus put his
money where it is beyond' the
reach of burglars. The less you
have the less you can afford to
lose it.

held on White . Oak. Mountain
Tuesday was a grand success and
a large crowd from "every ' point

part in the day 's outing. A storm
marred the pleasure of the return
home and caused considerable ex
citement, ljghtnirigstri king two
boys, Johnny Burgess and Marion

down a disastrous catastrophic
finale to the picnic being narrow
ly averted only by the presence

clivity. Johnny Burgess sustained two
severe burns f ronrthe stroke and
his left side was benumbed -for
several hours. Marion Smith and
the mules were uninjured.

work for our State. Men trained
there are certainly making good
as farmers, Jasengineers, as tex

of skilled enterprise. Young men
who want to enter -life equipped
for success in all industrial occu

the A. & Ms. , Last year 630 stu

this year will include 51 teachers.

two finehogs were struck by
lightning and seem badly hurt.
ls tThe smoke stack at Mr. Ford's
mill blew down. Corn looks pre cty
badly cut up, but most of it is
young and we hope will putout
again.
Sheriff Hill, while driving
through the storm yesterday,
drove into a tree that had fallen
across the phone wires; the horses
were shocked ;iind turned the
buggy oVer before he could get
to them. .
The boy scouts did very well in
their sports. The sac tc' race vas
very funny. They are doing good
work and are to be congratulated.
Our marshall while at the depot
Sunday morning saw a leather
strap hanging from a negro's
pocket. On investigation it proved
to be a sling shot, which is a very
dangerous weapon in the' hands
of a strong man. The negro was
bound over to court under, a $200
bond.
Everything is quiet here tody
most of the boys went to Ashe
ville to celebrate and we, expect
the town officials are glad-'of it.
We understand that Mrs. 1. S.
Pearson expects to leave tonight
for Atlanta, Ga.f on a visit to her
old home and wish her a pleasant
trip. ; " ; :.
We hear that Rhodes and Con

at Lynn Saturday, are getting
betteri andwish them a speedy
recovery, but hope they will ifind
a better use for their . knives in
the future. . '
Mr.'Vangelder, brother of R.
J. Vangelder, the machinist here,
has purchased Mr. Cobb 's resi
