HERE AND THERE

Misses Saunders and Garrison, the
school attendance officers, are at work
on the problem. Of dividing up the
|school territory of the county between
them. The division Is being made or
a basis of school groups in such way
that the work Of both officers will rur
side by side throughout the county.
A truck man from Gastonia has es.
tablished a weekly truck route over in
to the Bethany, Ramah, and Piedmont
springs country. He deals In every
thing that is good to eat and takes out
Of the country each trip all the surplus
products he can get in the way OF
chickens, eggs, butter, hams, honey
etc., at good prices. The ruling price
for eggs up to last week was 40 cents
a dozen; but the understanding was
that there had been a decline to 81 IL
cents. Blacksburg buyers are also
strong competitors for the chickens
and eggs Of that section. The price fol
chickens (friers) Is IS cents pound;
but there is a story up there that some
Of the people have gotten even better
prices in Yorkville.
On q trip to the western part Of the
county, on over to Kings Creek In
Cherokee, in company with Mr.. Sam
M. Grist last Wednesday afternoon
Here and There noticed considerable
evidences Of the destruction wrought
by last Sundays storm. There are a
number of PROSTATE trees in sight OF
the Kings Mountain road, and the
road is all but blocked at two places
between Piedmont springs and Kings
Creek. The wind was unusually vlo-
lent at Kings Creek, and Mr.. A. w,
Love told how he had been subjected
to more or less apprehension on ac-
count Of the danger to which his mules
had been subjected. The mules were
in a big pasture at the time, and after
the storm it developed that number
of big trees had been uprooted. The
alarming manner in which the trees
had been thrown about suggested how
easily the mules might have been KILL
ed had they followed their common in
stinct in case Of storm and taken refuge
under the larger trees. None OF the
mules were hurt, however, and Mr..
Love was feeling as good as If he had
negotiated an unusually good trade.
Corporal Lewis M. Grist is still in
the custody Of the army medical de-
nartment at the Walter Reed hospital,
washington. At first he got hint that
he was suspected Of having bronchltls.
This, however, he cannot understand,
because he says he has never felt bet
fer in his life His health record IN
France gives the history of months
illness with influenza, and he thinks
that the bronchitis suspicion was based
on the theory that a man who has been
down with influenza must still have
something One Of the hospital at
tendants gave him tip that tonsilitls
and not bronchitis was his malay. he
does not accept that, however, because
he has no tonsils, DR.. Twitty having
ont them out at Fennelrs infrmary
about two years ago. The doctors nave
not told him anything and they wont
tell him anything. He does not belieVe
he is sick, he knows he Is not SICK ana
he would not believe the doctors on
oath. If they claim he is sick. That is,
he does not think he has anything put
nostalgia, and of that he Is sure ne
has a very bad case-so bad IN 1act
that he Is afraid that 1t might cause
him to be sent to Leavenworth petore
he can get home. He Is allowed the
run of the city down to Mt vernon
and wherever else he wants to go eX-
cont home, and in his latest letters
ha declares that if they do not turn
him loose pretty quick he is coming
home even If they do send MIN 10
I.eyenworth The home folks, VINO
ore as anxious to see him as he Is 10
COO them, are writing him to stick IL
out If it takes all summer, ana De quie'
until he is discharged.
