Independent Order of Odd Fellow:

i When you joined the Odd Fellows
 you linked yourself to a continent
 wide fraternity. You joined not for
 yourself alone, but allied yourself to 1 one of the greatest humanitarian movements of the age which is dem
 onstrated almost at every meeting | This winter Phoenix lodge was more 1 blessed than ever with travelling
 visitors from far and near-from many countries and faiths. We meet Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Gentiles. Republicans, Democrats, Bull Moos CTS. Standpatters, Prohibitionists, men of a dozen faiths, creeds and parties, rich and poor and. strange
 to say. all these different parties all working in harmony for the ord CTS good that holds them-wouldn't that be a fine city administration to have?
 Our last meeting was an inspiring
 and uplifting one. A number of dis
 tnguished visitors gave nice talks. Many of the Phoenix members thought Bro. Van Hauk as lost He turned up unexpected after an eight years stay in California. and there were many glad handshakes on his safe return. Bro. Van Hauk was initiated into Phoenix lodge by Bro. N. A. Morford 9 years ago
 Bro. M. T. Brown, past grand. has the honor of being one of the most enthusiastic boosters of Phoenix lodge, being the first prize winner hrin in during the past year. and the best attender, having d three mile trip to make every week, which is d mighty good example and is worthy of men, tion.
 Captain Sloane added some new features to the second degree at the last meeting. which is quite an i'm provement The third will be eXem plificd next Wednesday. Visitors are welcome.
 The committee on arrangements for the grand lodge is as follows: Y. R, Norris, N. A. Morford. R. C. Sloane, George Mintz, I. Stalnaker 1 and Bro Trott. The sub committee
 on finance: H. B. Claflin, L Stal-
 maker, past grand; E. B. Vincil. J. J.
 Elwell. F. w. Johnson and R. C. 1 Sloane.
 Everybody should give the last
 named committee the desired support. The following visitors spoke under
 the good of the order: Sam Hill,

 grip, who makes this his annual trip

Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan

Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan
 Arrangements for the big cere- monial, which is set for the 31st day of March, are nearly completed. This is to be the first ceremonial given by Fl Yemamah Temple No. 65 dur ing the current year, and it is ex- lected that large class of tyros to our fair oasis.
 There will be a parade of the tyros in the custody of our genial votaries, and there will also be some music and plenty of noise and red fire. The parade will start from the Knights of Pythias hall promptly at z o'clock, and all votaries are ex- pected to don their robes and join in the parade. The parade. however, will only be preliminary, as it were, for the main ceremonies begin promptly at o'clock at the Knights of Pythias hall, and it is at these ceremonies that the tyros are espe- cially invited-yea. urged-to be present. The ensuing hours will contain much enjoyment for the tyrosO, as well as for the votaries At any rate the votaries assure the tyros that time will not hang heavily on their hands.
 And last, but by no means least, is the repast which Is scheduled to follow immediately after the conclu- sion of the ceremonies. Votaries Hancock and Judson will have charge of this part of the evenings enter tainment. and to all votaries who have attended a ceremonial in Fl Yemamah Temple No. 65 that is huff sed."
 Every votary is urged to bring with him a tyro and ten simoleons; but be sure, votaries, that you sepa- rate the tyro from the simoleons.

Old Fort Sentinel =
Mr. Johnson Elliot, who lives
on Cedar creek, just over the Nc
Dowell line, attained the age Of
100 years last August. Untillast
week, when fire destroyed his
humble home, he had lived in a
log cabin built by his own hands
75,ysars. ago. This old man had
been saving little by little until
his accumulation Of gold and sill
YER amounted to about $3,00O,.
900 which he had secreted about
his dwelling; and although tn e
cabin doors were minus locks, his
money remained safe until the
flames last week consumed h s
home and it's contents-all but
$425, This amount being hid IN
the bed, did not melt on account
OF the roof falling in on it and
partly smothering the flames.
Mr.. Elliot had been advised a.
bout a month ago to deposit the
money for safe keeping. Quite a
sore loss in such extreme old age;
but as we cannot take our gold
with us, possibly this loss will
not be as hard on him as it
might have been to some one
much younger.
Moral: If you have money
horded away about your home,
you had better deposit it at once
in some good bank, three ofwhich
we have in this county. There it
is safe from fire, food or bur-
glars, so far as you are concern
ID. The Bank is responsible to
you for your deposits. Better at.
tend to this at once lest you
meet with the same fate that has
overtaken the centenarian named
above. ]-Democrat.

4 Tribute Of Lew.

The Death Angel has again Wis
tied the little village of Silver
stone and claimed as his victim
the wife of Mr.. C. E. Smith. The
funeral services was conducted
by her pastor, the Rev.J. l. Hick.
man, and her body was laid to
rest in tho family grave yard to
await the resurrection morn,
while her spirit, we believe, is
basking in the sunlight of Gods
eternal bliss.
Deceased was a daughter OF
Mr.. John P. Wilkerson, and was
married to MIR. C. E. Smith at the
age OF 1S years, to which union
was born one child, Little Earl,
now % months old. She was low
ID by all who knew her, and leaves
and leaves behind to mourn her
loss a father and husband, one
child, five sisters, two brothers
and a host OF friend. We have
the great correlation that while
we can never see dearChina again
in this life, but by the help ofGod
We can meet her in the great be-
vond, where we have every rea-
son to believe she is enjoying the
reward ofthe righteous.
Sad is the hour of parting,
Here she will come no more,
Still we may hope to meet her
Safe on the golden shore.
Sweetly she sleeps in Jesus,
Never to wake or weep;
Dear Claud, behold yourloved one
sleeps her last long Sleep
We extend to the grief-stricken
husband our deepest sympathy.
Ones who loved her.

[IJnavoidably deferred from last
week.
EDlTcR DMocRAT: The State
heretofore has been spending
$3OO,OOO for the Public Schools,
$4,000 going to the High
Schools, percapita, and 100000
to the poor counties to- equalize
the school term.
The last Legislature gave the
$75, ZOO to the High Schools and
divided the remainder 1925, ,OO0)
per capita to every county in the
State. Watauga'gets 81, ,40S, As
from this fund. After this is done
the law provides that the Coun.
ty Commissioners may levy en-
ough tax to run the schools four
months. This was done in Wa
tauga, raising the tax 5 cents on
the 800 valuation over last
year.
After all this county can parti-
cipate in. an ,squalizing fund a.
bout$4oo, 900 to bring the school
up to a six months term, or as
near as may be. Each County
Board Of Education mustsubmit
q sworn statement to the State
Board of Education on the first
monday in December. Then the
State Board divides up the equal.
izing fund, starting in thecounty
with the shortest term and bring.
ing them all up equal.
According to the salary list o.
last year, this fund would length
en- the schools about six weeks
but last year in each county the
salaries were raised and the com
pulsory school law added a large
number of teachers, bringing
down this length of term. Before
December State Superintendent
Joyner has no way toknow what
salary list in the State will be
The Board of Education in eacf
county cannot know what a
mount Of money will be coming
to the county until notified by
the State Superintendent.
Here is the trouble. Ourschool'
in the Western part OF the Stat'
are out before many Of them be
gin in the Eastern part.
Since the holidays wehave beer
notified that Watauga could de
pend upon % days above tn
four months, but the exact am
cunt could not be given unit
February.
We suggested that school
could run s or 5Hmonths. Thos
that had 5 months can have tw'
more days next year, those tha
had 5A months would have thre
days fewer next year, 1t will b
noticed that the State is spending
about 100000, or one third c
the entire income for the publ
schools. We have been great,
pleased with progress OF the pub
lie schools, and we congratulate
the people for +hegood work the
have done, making Watauga on
of the foremost counties of th
mountains.
