Ntr. ID. II. Peterson spent most
of the week i Mcdowell.
Mr.. c. W Trimble went to West
Virginia Mon bay on abusiness trip.
Does the weather man please
more when se hits than when he
misses?
Mr.. Howard Wiley, of Dunlevie,
was visiting Monterey early in the
week.
Another thing that Monterey
needs, and must have soon, is few
street lights.
Mr.. f. A. Dudley and wife pass
ed throuA town Tuesday morning
on their FAY to their home in Au-
gusta.
Mr.. c. Nv. Trimble speaks through
the Recorder this week. He is
one of dur enterprising and success
full MERCHANTS. Read his adver-
tisemeat and note what he says.
Mr.. Forest Kyle is overhauling
the switch board at the Mutual
central office. 1t had gotten badly
out Of repair and the service for
several months has been very I'M
satisfactory.
MI and Mrs. Will Lunsford's
little child, which has been very i'll
for two weeks, is now on the road
to recovery.
Eight inches of snow, following
several days of rain and sleet last
weel, put the highways in bad con-
dition. Freight wagons caught ON
the road had a heavy pull, and
mails have all been late.
Our enterprising ieweler, Mr.; H.
NJ. Slaven, is circulating a big,
twelve-leaf calendar for 1909. 1t
is more handsome and elaborate
than is generally issued by busl-
ness men in country districts.
The gentleman who, before the
HOLIDAYS was here in the interest OF
a gasoline lighting devicesreturned
this week and installed his system
in the following places of business;
First National Bank, postoffice,
Recorder Office and barber-shop.
The light is excellent, and, if dura-
BILE, ought to prove a satisfactory
investment.
Mr.. w. P. Campbell, well-known
to all our people, has sold his splen-
did home at Stuart's Draft in Au-
gusta county, and expects to locate
in Roanoke. This is one OF the
many fine farms of Augusta, and a
most desirable home. The pnce
realized was $4,000.
Mr.. J.. j. Stoutenberg, of New
York. who is interested in High
lands mineral wealth and who has
been frequent visitor here during
the past two years, came to town
Friday evening and remained until
Monday Before returning to New
York. he made a trip to Hot
Springs, accompanied by Mr.. }. A
Whitelaw
We received, early in the week
through postmaster h. M. Slaven
. letter from Rev. Leslie II. Davis
well-known to our older residents
who is now living at Fredricktown
Mo. Mr.. Davis went to schoo
here in early manhood, and wa
married to Miss Mary Stephenson
of Jackson's River. Since he ha
learned that the Recorder is still
living, we hope to hear from hln
later on, the paper being the med
ann through which his aequaintane
with our people may be renewed.
The fact that rattlesnake wa
killed near Vanderpool on Friday /
chronicled not as q rare small
story" but to indicate the yer.
mild character of the present win
ter. The RATHER was crossing th
public road perhaps only loohln!
for better winter quarters but nj
rattle will never whiz anymore
He was not at his best, of course
being a little stiff and stupefed
but he was making clever headwa
in the warm, afternoon sunshine.
