Mr. Crouch thinks it is not expedient |
TO raise wild aud tame turkeys togeth-
err, for the tame ones always have to
bear the burdens of war. Alter losing
his fine, tame gobbler, his advice is,
when you aim at a wild turkey, be
careful, do not miss your aim and kill
tame one.
Prof. Garst does not look now as
pleasing as basket of nice, ripe
peaches will look this summer. We
advised him to let politics alone, but
he would not listen to any of our re-
proof. Now we can console him in
no other way than by saying "The
way of the transgressor is hard"
Saturday, March 24th, a party com
posed OF the beautiful bellies of Knob
Creek, with their Sunday smiles dane
ing all over their faces, and q number
of charming young gentlemen, arrayed
in their best loveliness, spent the day
very enjoyably near the mouth OF
Boon's Creek on the Watauga river.
The beautiful weather added not lit
tie to the occasion. At noon refresh
ments were served in the picnic style.
The whole day was spenS +. pleasantly
that it will be long remembered by all
the party.

in supporting home industry and III
electing home talent to fill our Offices

you, fellow citizens, but we only pity
you because you say you haven't home
talent in your party capable OF repre-
senttng you in our law-making body

to send north and get a young man
one whom you can train up in the wa,
he should go, and when he gets old h
will never depart from It, Remember

Mr.. Duncan, but we are only praisin
the loyalty and consistency Of you
