Mr.. Presnell was 88 years old and
his entire life so far as is known was
spent in this immediate section. He
volunteered IL the Confederate army
early in the Civil War, and no SOL
der ever earned brightc- record,
until at a Georgia point, missile
from an enemy's gun took off his
right arm. AS soon as able he was
sent home on permanent furlough
On arriving home imagine his horror
on finding that his wife had lost her

KIDDIES ENJOY BIRTHDAY

. "A delightful occasion of last week.
was the party given by little Miss
Elizabeth South on the 18th, to Gel
ebrate her fourth birthday. Each lit
tie guest on arriving, presented the
hostess with a dainty gift. Many IA
vorite childhood games were played

pin bow on a dog, which was drawn
on sheet of paper. Little David
Greene, Jr., being most successful in
this, received a box of candy. Late
in the afternoon ice cream was serv-
ed in cones. Before departing, each of
the guests was presented with bag
of candy and a small favor.
Those present were: Misses Helen
Gragg, Daisy Lyons, Rebecca Woos-
ley, Lillian Sprott of Concord, Mary
Elinor Cooke, Clarissa White, Mari

DIR. HODGES HURT
WHEN AUTO TURNS
Popular Local Physician Mar rowly E.
caPes Death When Crowded From
Road by Motor Truck

DR.. j. M. Hodges, of Boone is con-
fined to his home with a dislocated
hip, severe decorations around the
face and head, and many bruises as
result of an automobile accident
two miles from the city Friday af-
ternoon on the Blowing Rock High
way. Mrs Hodges, who was in
the car with her husband sustained
only minor injuries.
The physician summoned hurried
ly to see a patient on the Yonahlos-
see road between Blowing Rock and
Linville, permitted truck owned by
a Hickory tin shop, to pass him near
the corporate limits of the city. The
truck however, when it struck the
grade near the home of w. w. D..
Edmisten, fell short, and DR.. Hod-
ges attempted to go by, using his
horn all the while. The truck gave
way and the two vehicles proceeded
side by side on the broad highway for
some distance, when as the car driv-
en- by the physician apparently had
everything clear, the truck swerved
to the left, the roadster hit a stump,
knocked it from the earth, and turn
ed over three times down the en-
bankment. Mrs. Hodges luckily was
not caught in the rolling car, and
escaped with only cuts and bruises.
while her husband was underneath
the vehicle when it stopped.
Reliable reports indicate that the
driver of the truck and his compan-
ion stopped, and waited, but did not
attempt the rescue of the trapped
man, or answer the calls of his wife.
A car from Shelby with two men as
passengers extricated him and he was
brought to town where other local
physicians ministered to his wounds.
Saturday afternoon the Linville
River Railway Co. sent special train
for him and he was taken to Johnson
City where X-Ray pictures were made
He returned Monday and aside from
the dislocated hip is not seriously in
jured.
Two sons, DR.. H. S. Hodges of AL
va. Ky. and Mr.. Bynum Hodges of
Bluefield, w. Va. arrived Monday.
This misfortune on the part of one
of the towns most prominent citizens
and eminent physicians, is deeply de-
plored by hosts of friends.

WASTE RESOURCES
in FOREST FIRES
District Forester Says Loss of Stand
ing Timber May Result in Increas.
ed County Taxation.

We take some excerpts from a
letter recently received from Fred
B. Merrill, District Forester, at Le-
noir:
Last first Monday the Watauga
Board of Commissioners decided not
to take up the the work of forest
protection for the county. This was
done because Of shortage of funds.
The big fire now raging in the Grand
father mountain section started on
the head of Boone Fork in Watauga
county, This fire is reported to have
done damage estimated at million
dollars. The counties of Avery and
Caldwell are threatened by it and
may have been damaged to some ex-
tent. The estimated damage of the
fire is probably exaggerated, but at
such places as this fire burned there
is bound to be total loss. have al
ready heard of one lumber yard be-
ing destroyed. 1t is the usual con-
dition that exists where there is no
organization. l do not say that our
organization could have prevented the
fire, but there are the two chances:
l. That educational work could
have prevented the fire.
2. That on organization under the
direction of a warden with the au-
thority and responsibility for stop
ping the fire, could have held it to
a few acres.
1t should not take much of busi-
ness head to see that the county is
wasting it's resources and losing mon-
ey by every fire. Imagine the claims
for tax reductions that are going to
come in from this one fire. Imagine
the loss from employment that would
otherwise have been had on this area.
Consider the influence on stream flow
hunting, fishing and recreational US
eS.
Will all this fire make any differ
ence on the tax rate? Suppose that
the total valuation of the county is
ten million dollars and that the to-
tai tax reduction because of the fire
is only 100000. The effect will be
an increase of nearly 2 cents per hum
dred dollars on the tax rate.
The commissioners are justified in
their program of economy but it is
not wise to save one dollar and to
lose one hundred dollars by the saw
ing.

an incention to all Christians, to $50

they go, not like the quarry slave at

JOYOUS TIME AT
FAMILY REUNION
Gathering of the Horton and Coun-

the Horton kith and kin to gather
once year at the old Horton home
stead on Cove Creek for a joyful re-
union. ]. w. Horton eldest of the
Horizons for these many years, who
lived at the old home, having passed
away year ago, it was decided to
hold the reunion this year at the home

Sunday, August %, relatives, neigh
bors and friends from far and near
came together to do him honor and
to greet each other in the name and
the affection of the days gone by.
On one side of the home on the
big lawn were parked dozens of au-
tomobiles, while on the other side
was placed a long table which was
heavily loaded with the good things
found on such occasions.
After Aunt Polly, widow of the
late j. W. Horton and Aunt Lou,
widow of the late Joe Shull and sis
ter of Mrs. D. F. Horton, had been
seated in the places of honor, and all

words and returned thanks.

had been beaten in the argument he
called for a check book and made
donation of $50 to his boyhood church
the new church to be built soon at
Henson's Chapel.

ELECTRIC SHOCK
Workman at Whiting Lumber Co.
Plant, Makes Mistake and Catches
5000 Volt Line.

Latest reports are to the effect
that Bill Gilmer of Shulls Mills, so
seriously injured last Friday by a
live wire, is still alive, but no hopes
are entertained of his recovery.
Gilmer in the employ of the Whit
ing people, was attempting to connect
a transformer, when accidentally he
came in contact with line carrying
$500 volts. His right arm was burned
practically off above the elbow, a
hole torn in his left side through
which one lung is visible, and severe
burns about his throat as well as other
parts of the body. Friends consider
the case hopeless one.
