Local notes on shops, weather, and a railroad bond call
Local readers report California peaches at Black Darns and a fine line of dress goods in Boone. Meantime the spring hay, earth moisture, rain delays gardening and potato planting. A heavy rain flood disrupted travel while freezes and late budding affect crops. Public notices urge rail bond support, business ads promote Blackburn and Miller lines, and community updates include illness, visitors, and a school term ending with Appalachian Training School events and a Lenoir Boone ball game schedule.
