The ,<ouse is still standing pat on its

While this is not q farming coun.

yet it is a great stock country.
The live stock BUSINESS, together

As has been our custom for the
past "a years, we willtakea a week
off for the holidays, and this is
the last issue Of this paper that
will greet it's readers until Jan.
l, 1914. For 81 weeks we,have
.labored arduously,. getting out
the best paper possible during
this good year 1913, and surely
that is enough toentitle any man
to at least, ifno more, oneweek's
rest, which we will take, feeling
that no one will censue in the
least. The year has, in many re-
spects, been a most pleasant one,
and not entirely without profit,
but, of course, it has had it's disa-
greeable phases. However, it is a
great pleaeup to us to know
that our humble efforts have been
80 much appreciated, as has been
shown by scores and scores of
complimentary letters received
from leading citizens throughout
the country, to say nothing OF
the words of Encouragement that
are spoken to us almost daily
by those who are competent to
Judge what a country paper
should be, and fully appreciative
Of our efforts to improve the pa
per by putting in a new and up
to date outft-which was quite
an undertaking for a country
weekly; but the task has been &c.
,omplished, thanks to our loyal
patrons, and the paper is here to
serve them as long as we remain
able to do the work. In this con-
aection we wish to say that we
are proud OF Our list of subscri.
bers, and have explicite conf
pence in all who are on our list,
but if we are mistaken, and there
is some one getting this paper
who does not intend to pay fol
it, he will do us a favor by wri.
ting and telling us so, that theil
names may be erased. Ithas been
our duty to knife our list right
leeply during the last year, the
same being done for our ownpro'
lection, but still we are sending
out something like 800 more pa
pers now than at the same date
last year. If you are not a sub
scriber, enlist now, and if you are
not fully satisfied with the out
lay, we will cheerfully refund the
little amount.
Now, again thanking one anc
all, for their many kindnesses, W.
"ring off, for the holidays, wish
ing lor each and every one ofyo,
all the happiness possible during
the joyous Christmas tide.

/ the Address aa The UWsiliag st
the Boone Mafkm Oct a..
i 1919.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: We are
glad to see every one ofyouhere.
We scarcely know from whence
you all came. You are the flower
Of the mountains. It is fitting
that you have laid aside every
duty and come here to this his.
toric town to celebrate this our
first historic day. Along these
lines heretofore we have been der.
elict in our duty -..l
1 once had the pleasure Of Wis
iting the great city Of Philadel.
phia. / went out to Washington
Square to see old Liberty Hall. ]
walked throgh the entrance and
looked at the Old Bell with its
wounded side. I went into the
very room in which the Declara.
tion Of Independence was declar.
ed-1776. I sat in the seat that
had been occupied by John Han.
cock. l looked upon the seats
that had been occupied by Will.
lam Hooper, Joseph Hewes and
Johu Penn, North Cardinals del.
egates to the Continental Con.
gress at that time. I thought to
myself, how fortunate it is that
the people Of Philadelphia had
been thoughtful enough to pre-
serve this historic building in
tact. l felt the influence ofmy sur.
roundings- l could learn and ap'
preciate more there in two hours
than I could with books in two
weeks. l thought to myself, I am
in the most historic city in. the
world; I am in the most famous
building in the world, because un.
der this roof and upon this con
secrated floor, amid scenes indes'
cribable, was the birthplace o!
human liberty. .
Ifyou go to Raleigh, you will
see upon the Capital Square, the
statues OF Washington, Vance
and Bagley, ever reminding you
OF the history OF the Nation, State
and City. If ougo. to Greensboro
you may see upon the Campus o.
the State Normal College, tn
statue of Charles Duncan Mel
yer, who gave his best though,
to the establishment of this insti
tuition, and dedicated his life te
it's growth. Ifyougo to Asheville
the mountain metropolis, tht
home OF my distinguished friend,
Mr.. Arthur, who has preceded mi
on this floor, you will see, there
upon the public square a granite
monument pointing far towart
the skies, on each Of the four side
of which is carved the name
VANCE. 1t was planted there BY
. a thoughtful and appreciativ'
people, who wanted their chill
dren to be reminded, every NOR
ming as they passed to school, o
the life, character, and achieve
nents of one OF the greatest ant
most popular men that eve
walked upon North Carolina
sacred soil. Mr.. Arthur, If YOU
people had failed to do this, the.
would have fallen short in agea
duty. ....t-"~'
All our people love and homo
Daniel Boone. He was the fore
) runner of all that you geo here to
day. We named our town il
! memory Of him; but it was no
F.. until recently that any one eve
thought Of erecting a monumen
to him. The idea originated Il
: the mind of our aged and distin
: guished townsman, Mr.. w. l

prise in the country would have
had his attention; no benevolent
object would be passed unnotic-
ed. When we raise the curtain OF

Ferguson-a Lieutenant Of the

South Caroline, taking every

Kings Mountain. He de e e d
North Carolina, and declared
that even God Almighty Himself
could not bring him down from
his strongly fortified position.
