WATAUGA FURNITURE CO.
is TO CHANGE HANDS

Just as we go to press we learn
that the Watauga Furniture & Lum-
Der Co. is about to change hands. In
fact the trade has been closed but the
papers necessary have not been COM
pleted. The owners, Mr.. E. N. Hahn
has sold the lumber and furniture
business to Messrs. w. R. Gragg, B..
P. Moody, Poly Wyke, and F. NJ.
Matilda, but has retained all his real
estate, buildings, machinery, etc. We
have no idea to what the conidera-
tion is. 1t has been a good business
from the first and has been growing
in volume all the while. The business
that has been so successfully conduc-
ted by Mr.. Hahn goes into good hand
as the purchasers, save Mr.. Gragg,
are fine workmen and he has had
considerable experience in the sale
of finished lumber. The Democrat
predicts for the company great sue
cess as this has proven to be a good
field for a plant that handles build
ing material of all kinds.

ITEMS FROM THE
APPALACHIAN SCHOOL

Examinations at the Appalachian
Training School we're given the pasC
week. The spring term begins on
Tuesday the 10Th. More have enroll

the beginning of this term to enroll
in the Normal Department.
Prof. D. D. Dougherty treasurer of
the Training School, who has been
off for some time on important work
has returned to the pleasure of his
many friends.
The Training School and all of
President Dougherty's friends are
sorry to learn that he had a collapse
at the postoffice on Friday evening,
ard would have fallen had not some
men caught him. A doctor happened
to be present and rendered immediate
aid His many friends hope that he
will soon be in his place and he asks
the writer to say to his friends that
he is getting on all right.
The almanac tells that the moon
is called the governing plnaet this
year, and it further says that the
quality of the moon is cold, moist,

moon has nothing at all to do with

Boone, and perhaps other places, they
would realize that the weather thus
far for the year has lived strictly up
to the characteristics of the MOON
The young people of Boone enjoy
ed some Valentine socials a few eve
nings ago. At the Methodist church
the EpN orth league gave social i'll
the basement of the church, to which
d number of young people besides
the league members were invited. The
decorations and refreshments were
in harmony with the occasion and 1t
was a pleasant time for the young
folks. Also on the following evening
most enjoyable social gathering was
given at the splendid home of Mr.
and Mrs. E. J. Council. The home
was most beautifully decorated and
the young people after some hours
of social pleasure enjoyed greatly
the most delicious refreshments, fol
which that splendid home is noted
Miss Annie Stanbury at this writ

WATAUGAFARMI-
RS TO TAKE TRIP
10 SOU. CAROLINA
EDUCATIONAL TOUR WILL BE
STARTED TO YOUNG'S ISLAND
ON FEBRUARY 26th

A delegation of farmers from wes-
tern worth Carolina accompan.-u by
District Agent john w. Goodman and
possibly other county agents will
start Tuesday February 26th for
Young's Island, South Carolina to OBJ
serve the methods of growing crop
trucking practiced by the farmers of
that section. 1t is being demonstrated
daily that we along the Blue Ridge
located in the south and yet with a
New England summer, have a great
opportunity to produce late ,vegeta-
bles for the southern trade.
The farmers around Charleston
have developed this truck growing
business to fine science, and are
operating on scale that to our far
mers would appear tremendous
The seed potatoes shipped from
Watauga a few days ago went lar
gely to the South Carolina Produce
Association with headquarters near
Charleston. County Agent Steele has
Just returned from the vicinity of
Charleston and he states that the
most impressive thing about their
farming is the bigness of the way
they do things. He states that one
farmer is planting all the potatoes
from this county, the two cars from
Avery county, one car from Bun
combe county, and three other cars
from Maine. Some members of that
association plant potatoes much hea-
vier than he does. That association
alone plants each year about 100 car
of seed potatoes. This association of
farmers covers a section only about
forty miles in diameter. That doesn't
look much like danger of OVERRIDING
the market with seed potatoes. They
are growing spinach, lettuce. cabbage
onions and other things on the same
scale.
1t Is hoped that ntSsinter of fam
ers from Watauga will go on this
trip to>South Carolina for the ben
eft as well as the pleasure they will
derive

AGED CONFEDERATES
FIGHT; ONE KILLED

Nashville, Tenn.-Death may write
the closing chapter in the fight be-
tween two aged confederate veter-
ans at the State Old Soldiers Home
here, when one of them, G. w. Ham
by, aged 81, was fatally stabbed in
a childish argument over whether a
window should be raised or let down.
Dr.. T. G. Bracking aged 81, the slay-
er is in a serious condition due TO
injuries received in the encounter,
and attendants at the home believe
that action by the state in prosecut-
ing him will be forestalled by his
early death.
DR.. Bracking, confined to his quar-
ters at the soldiers home is claiming
that he killed Handy in self-defense
when the latter attacked him because
he would not raise the window in his
room.

Sion Rogers Found Dead in Bed
Admission, Alabama.

North Wilkesboro Hustler.
Mr.. Wade Ashley received a letter
from relatives in Watauga County
last week that conveyed the informa-
tion that Mr.. Sion Rogers was dead
grown son of Mr.. VIII Rogers, who
at one time lived in North Wilkesborc
Mr. Rogers was on a visit to his aunt
in Alexander county when the end
came. He had retired that night as
well as common and the next morn
ing when called for breakfast was
found dead in bed. Mr. Rogers was
a carpenter by trade. His father,
Mr.. Will Rogers, helped to build the
brick store building on corner of B
and 10th streets now occupied by
Smoak brothers.
This is the first information the
Democrat had had of the death of
Mr.. Rogers. He was good friend
and citizen and we are grieved to
hear of his death.

DEAF FROM BIRTH, LAD
HEARS RADIO MUSIC

Something has developed in the
town of Richfield which may event
ually become fo nation wide interest
especially in the medical and scienti-
fic world
Trudell Ritchie, the 16 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Richie
of that place, had been deaf and
dumb from birth. Up until a few
days ago he had never heard a soud
of any kind. Several days ago ra-
dio outfit was installed in the Richie
home. In some way, no one knows,
how, young Mr.. Ritchie, the deaf
and dumb man, become interested
and suggested that he try on the
head gear. He was allowed to so
and, after the apparatus had been
arranged and regulated to the best
advantage, the boy STAGE registered
delight which it had never done
before. He made known to those
present that he had actually heard
a sound
However at first the sound was not
very plain. After some readjustments
of the apparatus he made known
that his hearing was more distinct
than at first. He now claims that
he can hear distinctly over the radio
although he cannot hear anything
otherwise. The amplifier has been
tested out, but young Ritchie does
not seem to be able to hear any
thing that way. The remarkable
part Of it is that the young man
through some indescribable instinct
or intuition, seems to be able to dis
tinguish the various kinds of music
which he hears on the radio, that IS,
he cannot tell whether it is a piano,
band or vocal music.
The young man is said to be well
educated in the mute language but
this is the only means which he has
had in the part of getting an idea of
music or as to the means of distin-
gushing between various instruments
of music. Young Rtchie's father has
had a very expensive outfit INSTALL
ed in his home for the pleasure of
the deaf and dumb son who seems
to get extraordinary pleasure out of
listening.
The incident has created quite a
bit of talk throughout the Richfield
section, and many people from near
by towns have gone to Richfield to
be convinced as to the truthfulness
of the report. 1t is believed by many
that the discovery of means of
nearing on the part of this deaf man
may lead to important developments
in the scientific world. Nothing like
it has ever been hear dof before

my offer still held good to help in
scheme to beautify homes along
the highway and instead of writing
to them am going to answer yes thru
your paper, so as to reach at once
more of the people, for the plants
from the woods should be set out next

such as roses, about April l..

fected with sleeping sickness" I
an glad to say from what l see and
hear of the Old North State that this
Is disease that is not now often
found within its borders. If Boone
and its vicinity which expect to Sc
cure some of the hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars that are now going
ands of tourists as a result of the
good roads movement, they have got
to make their town and highways
attractive to the eye. Your beautiful
scenery and climate you have had
always, ard as far as summer tou-
rlsts are concerned there has been
little doing, and those who expect
to get the desired results with no
effort on their part are going to get
left, for other parts of the state are
waking up, beautifying their towns,
building attractive hotels and board
ing houses with modern conveniences
with plenty of water and kept in a
clean and sanitary condition, and
these are the places that are collect
ing the crowds and their dollars, and
until you get on the band wagon you
will continue to live and feed on each
other instead of on tourists, Now
with your good roads and a railroad
few places witfk ,your altitude, with
good team work of your citizens,
have a better chance to attract the
tourist.
Let others build their fine high
priced hotels and cater to the few of

inion want are the smaller hotels and
boarding houses where the multitude
can secure good clean country fare
at reasonable-but still to you-pro-
fitable rates. The very high prices

sands of people who would like to
go to the mountains away, and you
