Town and County.

The 'possum crop in Watau-
ga has been ripe for some time,
and a large number of fine ones
having been garnered in this i'm.
mediate vicinity-one enterpris-
ing hunter having eight in a pen
more than a week ago and was
still a-ketchin' nightly when last
heard from.
On Friday evening last a very
interesting match game of bas-
ket ball was played in the Man
ual Training building at the A.
T. S., the contestants being the
lenoir and Boone teams, the re-
suit being II to 36 in favor OF
Boone. An admission fee of 25c.
was charged, the proceeds go ing
to the Athletic Association of he
school, which amounted to a very
neat sum.
Mrs. r. F. Edmisten, who,
some time since, returned from
Rose Dale, Ind, was accompa-
MED by her sister, Mrs. Evans, of
that town, who is still here and
may spend the winter at the Ed
misten home, just east OF town.
The lady was formerly Miss Ray,
daughter OF Mr.. VIM. Ray, a for
mer resident of this section, and
her friends are enjoying her visit
very much.

sure that it would be much ap-
preciated il you will send it to
them. One dollar pays for it ore
year, although it may follow a
soldier boy to the shell-torn fields
or trenches of France. Think tf
this, and make them feel thank
full for the present from a loved
one at home.
Hon. Robert l.. Doughton,
member Of Congress from this
district, spent Friday night and
u part OF the day Saturday in the
village, coming to visit his two
sons and Il daughter, who are in
school here, but availed himself
OF the opportunity OF shaking
hands with many of his friends
here. He tells The Democrat that
he will move his family to Wash
ington early in December.
MIR. A. u. DAVIS, formerly OF
Watauga, but residing for the
past three years at Post Falls,
Idaho, has returned to his ma
tive heath, and proposes to make
his home here again. He was a
business caller at this office the
latter part of last week, and told
The Democrat that, since his re.
turn to Cove Creek more than
two weeks ago, one OF his sons
had been right sick, but at that
time he was thought to be i'm.
proving. Glad to know that Mr.,
Davis and family are back in Wa.
tauga, they having had their tilI
of the West.
Miss Mary Anna, daughter oI
MIR. and Mrs. II. G. Gragg, OF
Boone, left last Friday for Cary,
Wake county, where she will Ell
gage in teaching during the win
ter, her school opening on last
Monday. The young lady is vel
qualified, for a long while a stu
dent OF the A. T. s., and We pre-
dict for her great success in bel
chosen vocation.

CoLoRED MEN OFF TO WAR.
Forty Seven Who Left Here Last
Week Fine Physical Specimens.

The Al colored men who left Wal
halla last Friday morning for Camp
Jackson, Columbia, made q body Of
splendid specimens Of physical man
hood. There was quite a good crowd
at the auditorium Thursday night to
bid them Godspeed and to encourage
them and to hearten them for the
serious and important work in which
they are about to enter. There were
number Of speakers for the occa-
sion, both the white race and the col
ored being represented. Rev.fI e.
West Union; Wade C. Hughs, Esq,
and r. r. Jaynes, Esq, Of Walhalla;
were the first speakers, and they
were followed by the following col
ored men. who gave splendid advice
to the colored men OF the selective
draft: Rev. G. B. Hancock, OF the
Seneca Colored Institute; Rev.
Cooper, Of the First Methodist (ool-
ored) church Of Anderson; Rev. Else,
of the Methodist church (colored) of
Pendleton; Harrison Virgins, Of
Seneca, who followed the fortunes of
his "Ole Marster" through the Civil
War in the armies of the Confede-
racy; and w. J. Thomas, head Of the
colored school Of Walhalla. Their
talks were all good and to the point,
but the remarks by Rev. G. B. Han
cock and Rev. Cooper could safely
be ranked high in the realm OF ora
tory. We have seldom heard better
speeches made. Sound in the doc
trines they presented, and equally
sound in the good advice they gave,
there was nothing lacking in the ora
torical powers with which they ably
presented their thoughts. The speak
ers Of the colored race did them
selves credit. and showed unmistak-
ably that Oconee's colored population
Is being led by men of no mean abil-
ity-men of high ideals, worthy to be
recognized and highly respected by
white and colored alike as leaders Of
the latter race.
The Al drafted colored men left
Walhalla Friday morning in good
spirits, and ready for whatever may
fall to their lot in the line Of duty.
We believe that Oconee's colored rep
resentatiyes In army service will give
a good account of themselves.
While the audience that greeted
the drafted men and speakers was
probably composed Of four-flfths col
ored people, it was noted as one Of
the best-behaved that has assembled
here for any purpose in many day.
The attention to the speakers was
admirable, the department through
out the evening beyond criticism.
