have the greatest opportunity in the
history of this section to get cleo
tricity right in their own homes,
without extra cost to them what
ever according to information OBJ
tanned during the past week.
All they have to do is to ask for
it themselves and to get their neigh
bors to ask for it, and Uncle Sam,
through the Caldwell Mutual Cor
poration, will build the lines with
out any cots to the Individual farm
ers for expense of line construction
and will furnish them electric, cur
rent at comparatively low price,

about $400,000.00 with which to
build rural lines two or three years
ago, was in the county and stated

their project, Just like Watauga
county has recently gotten.
He discussed the matter with c. j.
Rich, county agent and J. B. Price,
chairman of the county agriculture
committee and both of these men
are enthusiastic over the possibility
Of getting electricity on the farms
of Ashe county.
"The only thing that is necessary
for you to do in Ashe county to get
an extension of this great project is
to make surveys in your various
communities and get at least fami-
lies per mile to agree to take the
current" Mr. Messick stated. He

Late yesterday afternoon the jury
was still celebrating on the case of
w. E. McNeill, who is suing R. H.
Sutherland, of North Fork, for $4,-
10000 which he claims he lost as
result of Sutherland's failure to car
ry out cattle contract of last fall.
McNeill contends that Sutherland
agreed to sell him 100 steers and
that he later refused to do this and
consequently caused him to loose
this amount of money, or the equiv
alent of 2 cents per pound On the
other hand, Sutherland contends that
Mcneil agreed to present him with
a contract from the state Of North
Carolina, but failed to do this and
therefore he is under no obligation
to him.
Most of Tuesday was spent trying
this case. Other cases tried and dis
posed of during this court are as fol-
