Wind Storm

"Atmosphere in section" was
experienced hereabout to an alarm
ing extent last Monday night. NO
such wind had been known for
years, though no extensive damage
has been reported. Comr. }. ID:
Pruitt had his little barn turned
over and wrecked, on the opposite
side of a fence, leaving his valua-
bic COW exposed to the blasts, but
unhurt, the stable hool remaining
intact. The building stood on a
very high elevation in the rear of
the house. Samuel Warner had his
sugar camp wrecked, and we learn
that a good deal of fence was blown
down.
r. Since putting the above in type,
a report from the eastern side says
that Bud Neil had two yearling
steers smothered under straw
stack which was blown.over by the
wind, and farmer in the Seldom
Seen section had his corn crib
wrecked, scattering the precious
grain all oyer hillside.

Sugar Making

When the sugar water pals be-
gan to run over last Sunday even
ing, the majority of Highlanders
put the usual liberal Interpretation
on, the "ox-in-the- ditch" provision,
and food of sweets was poured
into the barrels and tanks of the
camp-owners whoAad anticipated
the "spell." 1t was the first big flow
of sap this season, though some
sugar and syrup had been made
two weeks before. Many of the
farmers did not have their trees
tapped, and lost a fine flow. In
the Hevener camp near Hightown,
one of the largest in the county,
300 gallons of water were gather
ed during the Sunday flow,
Many who had not opened their
trees, got busy Monday morning,
and will be ready for tue next
round. The sugar-maker under
derstands better than any one else
the uncertainty of the business, the
surprises and disappointments at
tending it, and, while no amount of
foresight or head-work can guaran-
tee a big output. getting good and
ready, and keeping so, are essen
tial conditions.
The outlook is for a good season,
the early opening auguring we'll
for season of some length, mas
.mnch as we may reasonably look
for alternate freezing and thawing
for several weeks.
1t is assuredly needless to urge
camp owners to work for the big
gest possible output. The reasons
are two obvious. If the sugar Or
chards of Highland are we'll looked
after and fully utilised, we can
keep sweet even though the rest of
the world sours. Then, too, the
more we depend upon the home
product the less we draw on the
big world supply,

Medical Advisory
Board Meets

The following members of the
Medical Advisory Board motored
to Monterey Wednesday morning
for the purpose of examining the
"a men referred to them by the
local board of Highland: DR..
Hanger, DR.. Parkins, DR.. Brad
ford, DR.. A. L. Tynes, of Stanton,
and DR.. Jones, of Doe Hill.
The Board reached Monterey
about 1890 and left at 8. The
rapidity with which the a regis
strants were disposed of proved not
to be the greatest surprise in store
for them, because all except seven
were sent on for service, either
qualified or straight out military.
In the case of Earl Slaven, of
the Hightown community, the To-
cal board has appealed from the
action of the advisory board and
he has been placed in class pend
ing decision of the Roanoke
board. Robert Hull of the same
community, was also accepted yes
terday, much to the surprise of his
friends and acquaintance, both of
thtse young men being regarded as
plainly unfit physically, and Mr..
Hull's case, it is understood, will
also be appealed. Such action in
these two cases will be strongly
supported by public sentiment.

The EYE is the window of the
Soul. Be careful how you use or
abuse them. Do you have head
ache? Are you nervous? Can you
sew or read as you once did? Have
you granulated lids? Do you squint
when exposed to bright light?
If-you have any defect of refraction
| can fit you with glasses to correct
it. Don't blame your children for
poor reports at school for bad dis
position and general lack of interest
in everything. Poor eyesight is
the cause of all sorts of nervous
trouble, and may be that is the
trouble with your child, you should
have their eyes examined. Do you
wear or need glasses to see far and
near? If-so, try the Kryptoks a
glass ground with two visions in
one. Lense-no. more cement to
become blurred. They cost a little
more but will last longer and your
eyes will too. I have had over
twenty years experience in examin
ing eyes and fitting glasses and can
assure you the very best results.
The examination is free. 1 am
known by many of the Rocking
ham, Augusta and Highland coun-
ty people having worked in the
above Counties for the past seven
years, All work guaranteed and
at very reasonable prices. Remem-
Der the examination is free.

MINSTREL SHOW
HERE OCT. "a
Harvey's Greater Minstrels One of
the Biggest Attractions of Its
Kind ON the Road Today
WILL GIVE BIG
PARADE IN AFTERNOON
Creating of Laughter is the Purpose
of Minstrel as Well as Render
ing Tuneful Music and
Pleasing Songs

The minstrels fans of this vicinity
will be pleased to learn that one OF
the very best and largest minstrel
organizations on the road is to ap-
pear in this city at the Grand.
Possibly certain people have for
gotten that they are minstrel"fans be-
cause it has been so long since they
had an opportunity to see a really
first class minstrel-however the
fever or minstrel microbe will get
them when the richly dressed parade
Lof Harvey's Greater Minstrels passes
over our streets at noon the day
they appear here.
The amusement question has by
some people always involved tho
questionable amusement" question
but that theme is never aroused by
the coming of high class minstrel.
Base ball games, good circus and
an up to date minstrel seem to be at
least three forms of amusement
which are never questioned even by
the most scrupulous.
Laughter, the creating of laughter
is the purpose of minstrel as well
as the rendering of tuneful music
anil pleasing songs. The minstrel
man has been known from almost
the beginning of the worlds history
and was well known by the writer's
of Biblical affairs. 1t is this very
characteristic of the minstrel which
makes it capable of appealing to all
classes and when Harvey Greater
Minstrels appear in this city Thurs
day night, Oct. "a there will be seen
hundreds of people in the theatre
who are not habitual theatre goers.
