Dogs Being Slayed

Great derredatiOns by dogs OH Blue
stone and in the neigbhorhood of
Falls Mills. Large mum bers OF sheep
have been killed, and few dogs,
but not as many of the latter rs
theie should have been. Eternal
war should be waged against the
sheep killing dogs, without fear or
favor. Let no suspected dog escape.
Where it can possibly be done with
safety supplement the work of the
shotgun with strychnine. If moth
ing stops the ravages, send for our
G w Doak. He knows how to hunt
'em and shoots with unerring aim.
If the tax collectors would do their
full duty there would be fewer dogs
in the country, anyway.

FLOCKING TO STUART.
Pounding Mill.

Pounding Mill, April 6
Mr.. Editor Il have been around
over the country in the last few
days, and ii G. Stuart's nomination
reminds me of the old saying
that the first thunder in March
wakes up the snakes. So it is with
the Stuart nomination. 1t has wax
ed up the old, sleepy democrats that
have been gone to their holes for the
last six years, and il is my opinion
that the Republican party will be
blessed with storm of Stuart thun.
der such as they never witnessed
before on election day. L, for one,
along with mum bers of others, havn L

If L live to see the day and am able

The Land Was Sour

The opinion was expressed some
time ago that the BuSton lots needed
lime. 1t was thought Improbable
from the fact that the soil is natural
~ a strong limestone. and had not
been cropped for forty years until
recently, and that the soil had no
opportunity TO leach and wash, and
that. if there was land free from nc
id and i'm good shape it is this land.
Last Saturday n test was made. \
handful of soil taken from an inch
or two below the surface and made
into a thick mud. A piece of Litmus
paper was put into the mud, and I'm
n short time had changed from its
blue TO n deciaed pink color, show
inng that the soil is strongly acid.
If this soil needs lime il may be
safely concluded that most of the
soil in the county needs il. The acid
ity of this soil, no doubt, accounts
In part for the rather poor growth OF
the present crop of crimson clover
now growing there. Ask Mr.. Camp
bell for n piece OF ! itmus paper and
directions. Directions say To use rain
water, but ordinary spring or pump
water will answer. And, while on
the subject, il is probably true that
the bluegrass itself needs an applica-
tion of lime occasionally. 1t eats
and lives on lime, takes mp great
quantities OF it, and cannot live
without IL, and the longer field
stands in bluegrass the less lime the
soil contains. The fact that a field
has been in bluegrass for many years
is the very reason it may need lime.
The bluegrass has been consuming il
slowly but surely for years. Try n
load of lime ON an acre OF bluegrass
and see.

TEACHERS CHOSEN
FOR NEXT YEAR
Prof. Carson Reelected For
Another Term Some of
Teachers Next Session.

On last Saturday the school board
at meeting held here in the after
noon, Professor w w Carson, was
reelected principal of the TazewelI
High School for another term. A
number of the teachers whose appli-
cationc were before the board were
re elected. Others will be acted upon
later. 1t is generally conceded that
the school has been a splendid sue
cess this year, under the present
management. With few exceptions
the pupils have made satisfactory
progress, and the large majority of
them are doirg very fine work. The
state school official, who was here
last week, expressed himself as high
Iy gratified, not only with the build
ing and equipment, but with the
personnel of the teachers and the
work they are doing. He said that
he did not believe that better work
was being done in any school in the
state than is being done here now.
The teachers OF this present school
have proven their efficiency and
faithfulness during the present sess-
ion. They have had maximum
share of criticism, as all teachers
have, and gotten minimum OF
praise and approval as most teachers
get, but they have gone on, doing
their very best TO impartially and
faithfully discharge their important
duties to our children. 1t seems To
be the general consensus Of opinion,
that the school has bright future,
and taken all together, is a credit
and honor to the town and entire
community.

congestion of the lungs. He had
been in very bad health for some
time, having consumption. He was
in the goods business at Graham un-
I'll his health became so bad that
had 10 leave the store, when he went
TO his fathers, where he remained
until two weeks ago, when he went
to the Catawba Sanitorium, ard
while there seemed TO be doing we'll,
but on last Sunday he caught a cold
and lived but few hours after
ward. None of his relatives were
present when he died except his IA
ther, who reached him about two
hours before. He leaves, besides his
father, and mother and sister and
brother wife who was Miss Geor-
gle Shrader and one child n few
months old. The remains were
brought home and buried on yester
day at the Tabor cemetery at Ebene-
zer church, where his brother Ellis
was buried just little over a year

was present, and il was remarked
that most every one seemed akin TO
the dead man by blood or marriage
near or remote. Seeing the two
ministers referred TO above, ofliciat-
ing together on yesterday recalled the
following TO this writer: Along dur
ing the years from 1875 10 1850, Rev.
William Hicks, senior, an elder of
tn Nj f. church. south, and his son,
William, now pastor in East Taze-
we'll, preached at the old camp
ground ON BluetsOne known rs
Charles Chapel. Father and son were
both eloquent and thundsred against
sin and called upon men to flee from
the wrath To come and live holy
and righteously.
1t was during these days too that
DIR. Chester Bullard and his son
William Of SnowvilIe were i'm this
county at times in cooperation meet
ings of the Christians. Both were
great and mighty preachers and il
was matter not TO be forgotten TO
hear and see these pulpit orators.
There are not many of the then ac-
tive generation living now to greet
the sons of the elders Hicks and Bul
lard as the latter remarked yesterday
that most of the people present were
born during the last thirty years.
The days past were the times of the
Fraziers, Jack, George and Tyler
Hicks, Haynes, Bowman, Sullins
and others, who proclaimed the Cos
pei in the John Wesley order or the
persuasion OF Alexander Campbell
there were the Bullards-father and
son; Haymaker, Lucas, CoghilI, !
Calfee, Austin, and others, who cali
ed upon men 10 lead better lives.
Alas, for the good old days of camp
meetings and cooperation, we have
lost, and the voices of the ministers
heard then are heard no more; the
people who lived aloug these valleys
ale buried meath the sod of the
hills" And that mighty, but silent
throng are known mostly by tomb
stones and in memory. s.
