JUNGLE JERRY" LENOIR,
AGED COLORED MAN, DEAD

Uncle Jerry Lenoir, perhaps the
most widely known and highly re-
spected colored citizen in Watauga,
died at his home in Boone Monday
night. He was a soldier in the Civil
War and SO ia as we know, has been
a resident of Watauga ever since.
He was near 80 years of age. A
lady said IN our presence some years
ago: "If was called on to select
one of the best men l know, l would
not pass Jerry Lenoir," and we be-
lieved every word she said. He was
d consistent member of the Methodist
Church and lived his religion every
day in the year. He was honest to
cent, trustworthy in every sense
of the word, and will be sorely miss
ed by the people of his race who re-
side in Watauga. He was laid to rest
yesterday afternoon in the town cem-
etery, the Rev. Peeler conducting the
funeral services.

ITEMS FROM THE
APPALACHIAN SCHOOL

The Appalachian Training School
base ball team is having team prac-
tice when the weather will permit
They are hoping to be very efficient
soon.
Miss Gladys Swift of the Training
School, was operated on at the hos
pital for appendicitis on April 4th
and is reported as getting on well,
and it is hoped by her friends that
this splendid young lady may very
soon be able to return to her work.
She is in the senior class.
Prof. w. J. Rowe of the public
school, was pretty badly shaken up
in the auto accident of a few days
ago, but his many friends are glad
to know that he is able to be out ag-
ain.
The past week gave this section
several SHOWS, the one on Friday a
bout as pretty as ever fell, though it
was followed by a rain, and soon
melted away.
The pastor of the Methodist church
Rev. M. B. Woosley, being at Blowing
conducting a meeting, services at that
church were conducted morning and
evening by Professors j. D. Rankin
and j. M. Downum of the Training
School.
On April 3 Mr.. Riley Greer living
in the eastern part of this county
was 100 years old, and his many
friends in the county came together
to do him honor, bringing well filled
baskets and loaded with their con-
tents table 140 feet long and 4
feet wide, more than the crowd es-
timated at from 700 to 1000 could
consume. Rev. l.. C. Wilson, Mr.
Greers pastor, was master of cere-
monies. After he had read a selection
from the Bible and led in prayer
several short talks were made ;nclud-
ing Rev. w. C. Greer of Spray, q
great nephew of the old gentleman
Revs. Sebastian and Uriah Farthing
The main address for the occasion
was delivered by Professor l. G.
Greer of the Traininfi School. A
number of pictures Of the crowd were
taken including one of the Greers
present, the number of this name be-
| ing II.
Owing to the inclement weather
and an attack of cold President B
B. Dougherty has not been at the
Training School for several days.

LINES BEING RUN-WOULD
OPEN ADDITIONAL STREETS

Our board of aldermen has bee
actively engaged for some days in
surveying about the town, locating
lines and laying out preparatory to
opening up additional streets, one
to be known as South Street, which
is a continuation of the one through
the Rivers property which intersects
with the Blowing Rock road just
south of E. S. Coffey's home. Ano-
ther they have in view passes through
the j. D. Councill shop lot and tops
Queen Street at the corner of the
Jones property, and through the
Jones lots, going east to the Daniel
Boone Park, and west to Green
Heights. This sounds good and it will
open up some of the prettiest prop
critics in the entire town.

COUNTY AGENT
WILL BE RETAINED

Hundreds of the more progress
i've citizens of the county met in
Boone on last Monday pursuant to
the call made last week, to protest
against the proposed removal of our
county farm agent, Mr.. John B.
Steele who has labored so accepta-
bly, in the interest of this county
for the past two years. The sentiment
was unusually strong against his re-
moval, as result of which he was
reinstated, his new term to expire
July 25, 1925.
The people on the whole are CRATE
full to the commissioners for their
action in the matter and it is to be
expected that after the next years
work there will be no issue along
this line.

My dear Mr.. Downum:
This is probably the most impor-
tant letter / have written This Year.
Your past interest in the work of
this worthy cause has been manifest
ed in your recent contributions.
We face now crisis that is almost
unbelievable. AS you know we spent
all of our surplus money and used
all of our surplus supplies to feed
the five hundred thousand refugees
of the Smyrna disaster. We have new
er been recompensed for this. We did
it in TIE American spirit of human
ity; we had the material and the
money, and the staff on the field
and prompted as | said from a hu-
mantarian standpoint we went into
action.
The result is today, l am sorry to
say that unless we make an imme-
diate contribution to the work over
seas, we must retrench ana cut OH
probably forty per cent of the chill
dren now in the orphanages. This
means back to the streets and the
deserts; back to filth, starvation and
death.
. Fifty dollars now is equal to five
hundred this summer. Shall we turn
these children out or shall we keep
them? l am enclosing the material
with which you can do your part.
Assuring you that l will do mine
let us help in the name of Christ
and humanity,
Sincerely yours,
