New Officers.

The stockholders meeting of the
Watauga Bank last Thursday resulted
some changes in the officers and burst
of economy that was positively astonish-
ing,
The officers elected were as follows
President, Geo, d. Taylor vice presi-
dent, ]. 9. Hardin; cashier, Frank B.
st. John.
The office of assistant chashier was
abolished, and W, B. Harrison, popu-
lar attache of the bank, was thrown out
of job The presidents salary of $3.50
was cut off as was also the salary of the
attorney. BY the time the directors
got through with the knife the running
expen res of the next year had been re-
duced to $3.50, of this amount $7O0 goes
to Cashier st. John and $3.50 to Ray
mond Lyle, who is to keep him com
pany.
The bank was found to be in good
shape and the introduction of such rigid
economy was to keep it in good con-
dition.

Stricken Blind.

Mrs. 7. J. Cox, wife of the proprie-
tor of the Greenwood Hotel, was
strangely and suddenly stricken with
blindness last Saturday night. She
was seated in the parlor Of the hotel
talking to lady friend when she was
suddenly stricken with dizziness and
blurring of the eyes, which amounted
to total blindness for some time.
Camphor and other restoratives were
applied and soon she was recovered
with the exception of her left eye, in
which she has been totally blind ever
since. The eye is perfectly natural and
it is impossible to tell that the sight is
gone, but the unfortunate lady may
never recover the use of it.
The probable cause of the misfor-
tune is the constant use of a heart
tonic containg belladona. Mrs. Cox
will begin at once treatment prescribed
by DR.. Peavler, eye specialist of Bris-
toll, in the hope that her sight may be
restored.
