Badly Hurt-An Immense Crowd at
Blowing Rockefeller News.
Boone Democrat, Aug. 3Oth.
Threshing machines are now
running in the county and the
yield Of grain is said to be fine.
Most sections Of this county
have had abundant rains Of
late, but this vicinity still re-
mains very dry.
The number Of visitors at
Blowing Rock is increasing
daily. There is an immense
crowd there now.
A son Of Rev. Payne, Of
Blowing Rock, is now swelter-
ing in Taylorsville jail under a
charge Of stealing money in
Alexander county. He was
taken back there by the sheriff
Of that county one day last
week, and we learn that the
evidence against him is most
damaging. Sorry that one of
our county boys has gotten into
such trouble.
Mrs. Wash Norris, of Meat
Camp, mother of Mrs. NJ. B.
Blackburn, of our village, met
with a serious accident on last
Sunday evening by being
thrown from a horse and her
hip dislocated. At the best,
many distressing hours of pain
are before this good woman.
We hope she may recover. She
is "a years old. and such a hurt
is liable to be lasting.
Bob Isaacs, an insane man,
died in the Jail here on last
Friday evening. This was a
