D. G. Rufty, who is by no
means as cid as his white hair
and beard would indicate, walked
into barber shop Wednesday
and was shaved for the first time
in IS years and for the first time
in his life by barber. He didn't
sacrifice, his handsome beard,
however-that would have made
him unr' cognizable-but compro-
missed on a partial shave.

Some sort of an insect has de-
stroyed many of the elm trees in
statesville, but up to this time
the naples have been immune.
The Chronicle says the naples in
Wilkesboro are being attacked by
an insect and that the limbs in
tested by the insects soon die.
Statesville people interested in
shade trees-and all of us ought
to be-should take note of this
and begin work in time to save
ths'trees if possible.
A destructive rainstorm visited
the Amity section Of Iredell and
contiguous territory late Satur-
day afternoon, and Sunday after
noon heavy rain torn accompa-
MED by much electricity and con-
siderable wind, passed over States
vile and environs. In addition
to the serious and fatal results of
these storms lands were badly
washed and much wheat in the
shock was blown down and dam
aged. The weather last week was
fine for crops aud period of hot
dry weather now will be very ben
efcial.
The weather has been fine this
week, but we're almost afraid to
mention it lest it change by the
time this Item is read. Harvest
has heep il full blast and weather
cLhditlons for saving the wheat
have been favorable. A few more
days of sunshine will mean that
an excellent wheat crop has been
saved in good condition, and if
the warm weather continues the
corn and cotton will grow so fast
that they'll soon make up for lost
time. Let's look ON the bright
side now. Conditions are never
quite SO bad as they seem and
this may yet be good crop year,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable
conditions in the spring.
