Four Watts siblings prosper in Washington and a Murder trial update
Four sons and a daughter of shoemaker Watts of Blowing Rock thrive in Washington City with Jack Watts noted as the first student from Watauga Academy eleven years ago. A logging railroad approaches Elk Park to reach White Lumber Co timber, yielding $111 for a tall white pine square and two thousand feet of lumber. Baldwin is convicted of second degree murder in Blowing Rock for fatally shooting Policeman Miller, with a prior first degree verdict overturned for a new trial. Yates faces a murder charge near Banner Elk, ending in a hung jury. Appalachian Training School reports steady fall work and a new science building nearing completion. Democrt Hildebran notes Mrs. J. W. Beach visiting Atlanta, Roy Beach and Mary Barrows depart for South Lancaster to study, while others face illnesses. Chamberlain's Liniment advertised as a cheap remedy for back and chest pains. Ten children in Presbyterian Sunday School celebrate birthdays with pennies.
