Deep Gap

h. ii. Lemley and j. T.. Greene OF
Fleetwood having an accident with
their car which was driven by Mr..
Lemley. The machine left the road
and plunged over an embankment,
and turned over completely three or
more times. Mr.. Lemley was very
much shaken up and sustained injur-
les about his shoulders which almost
dislocated one of them. Mr.. Greene
was also slightly injured in the mis-
hap.
Mr.. A. G. Moretz was stricken re-
Gently with light stroke of paraly-
sis and at this writing remains unim-
proved.
1t is noted that the Sugar Grove
correspondent gives a rap on the
boasting spirit that hangs around and
about Deep Gap. We however believe
the writer was mistaken on this score
for the folks at Deep Gap are zone
in all for Deep Cap and mean ev-
cry word that has been spoken in ref
erence to building this place up. We
do hope however that no one will be
so narrow minded as to gec jealous
of what we are going to do for Deep
Gap.
Mr.. W. A. Watson has recently ad-
ded a real estate business and has
listed lots and small farms for sale
around Deep Gap. If you have prop
erty in a radius of ten miles from
here he would like to get in touch
with you if you wish to sell and
place it on the market.
The invalid sister of the Watson
sisters has recently arrived and is
living with Misses Theodosia and
Fawn.
We hope our mountain climate
will have much to do in restoring
her from illness to good health.
We had quite lot of rain all last
week. Here's hoping old sol will show
his old face again with a sunbeam
smile that will dry up the mud and
water everywhere at our feet.
The next ice cream social will be
held at Rocky Point school house
Saturday evening at the usual hour.
The program will consist of con-
cert, singing and speeches. Everybody
come out as this social is special
one and you should be there or you
will regret it afterwards.
We are pleased to state that the
folks here are all for an Oddfellow
Lodge here and prospects are very
bright for large membership when
organized We would be very glad
to unite with the Masons and build
large hall and have our meetings
in the same building. This would be
! killing two birds with one stone.
The golden tints Of autumn are
here and the great forests are look
ing fine to one who likes to see Mo-
ther Nature revealed in all her glory.
| Now is the best time to visit the
mountains as chincapins and chest
nuts are ripe and delicious grapes
are hanging on the vines ready for
your hands to take them off.
Visit Deep Gap and pitch your tent
there and enjoy your stay like Alb.
raham of old.
Deep Gap is "a miles west of N.
Wilkesboro and IA miles east OF
Boone on Daniel Boone trail highway
project 60.
Mr.. r. M. Greene, the sign board
man has recently gone over the high
way here and painted up the signs
for the state. Mr.. Greene says if the
motorists run off the highway OF
rush into a crash by reckless driving
it will not be his fault. We believe
he is right as he has done his work
well.
The Yellow Ford was quite draw
ing card in the town of Boone, we
| noted in last weeks issue. There
should be half dozen yellow or gol.
den colored cars to form line ano
march into the "West Cove of Wilks'
and draw out the bootleggers or rusf
them off from job lotting fire water
that so often flows into Watauga
Go after them boys as all the good
citizens are behind you.
Let's ut liquor down and out fol
good!
