Democratic Convention Harmonious Boon County
The Boon County Democratic Convention was orderly and unified with Lowe Finley and Edmund Jones as leading figures in delegate instructions.

Blowing Rock Exchange opens July 8 for selling home made goods, with 10 percent to the exchange. A high point in the issue is the Vestal case with alleged illegal operations and a fatal outcome for Bessie Thomas, plus ongoing public interest in the Maynard involvement. The Bill Nye memorial committee held its first meeting in Salisbury with five members listed. A local anecdote warns of a home paper price scam about horse slobber prevention.
