Town notes and oddities from the Lenoir and Blowing Rock line
The Lenoir and Blowing Rock Turnpike directors met last Tuesday to discuss the mountain survey and appoint Mr. C. L. Miller of Rowan as chief engineer. He will visit next Monday but won’t take charge for about two weeks. The road plan aims to minimize winter work away from the current road and delay active construction until the surveyors confirm feasible routes. A North Tredell typhoid remedy involving frog cursings is recounted as a warning about unsafe folk cures. The piece also quotes Charles Duncan McIyer on college atmosphere and features editor tribulations, local notices, and scattered literary quotes, including references to Commander Peary’s expedition and various patent remedies.
