Girl Scouts Show Work Being Done MONKEY CAUSE OFEXCmiNT Old and Young Turn Out to Help Capture Pet Sunday Afternoon Men, women and children, they all turned out Sunday afternoon to help bring poor little “Rags” back to his place of abode. Twenty-five, 30 and sometimes up to 50 people were out looking for “Rags” at different times Sunday afternoon and again on Monday. “Rags” is the intelligent mon key owned by Harry Clark, and has been making his home at the K. & M. auto shop for the past several weeks. Sunday afternoon he took a notion that the large cage which he is supposed to call home did not offer as much di version as he needed, so he forth with proceeded to tear the heavy wire loose, prowl around over the shop, paint a little, place tools' just where he thought they should be, and then take a stroll across town. The hue and cry was raised that “the monkey’s out” ajid the hunt was on. The young army chased “Rags” across back lots, via the court house, the Walker lot, all around the Methodist church, finally losing him in the vicinity of Johnson street. Mon day morning, bright and early he called on Mrs. C. M. Douglass, borrowed a cake of soap and again started climbing, over the residence, across electric light line and on to the Methodist church. The Monday morning blues were put away by another crowd that exceeded Sunday’s number and “Come on Rags,” “Come here boy,’ “Nice little monkey” and a lot of other endearing terms were used in effort to ca jole the monk from the top of the large church building. All to no avail. It was necessary for 10 or 15 young fellows to chase his monkey-highness from the top of the church, and then the r2.ee was over—little Rags’ freedom stopping in a field below the church when a net encircled his jumping, wriggling, pre-evolution body. And so the great hunt ended, with Rags sitting serenely in his j outstanding Democratic cage, striking matches, hunting) , hearH in the eoiin- fleas and otherwise passing the - Penuors were heard tnt. co in titne’awak dreaming possibly oflty during the past week, Con- how near he came to winning'J- J- PRESBHERIAN CHURCH m HOLD lEVlVAL Rev. H. B. Dendy Will Be in Charge of Series of Meetings Revival services will begin at Brevard Presbyterian church on Sunday evening at 7:80 o’clock, according to announcement made by the Rev. K. L. Alexander, pas tor. The Rev. H. B. Dendy, pastor of the Weaverville Presbyterian church, who is also treasurer and superintendent of Home Missions for the Asheville Presbytery, and a preacher of note, will have charge of the series which will last for one week, with services each evening. A cordial invitation is extended by Rev. Mr. Alexander to all peo ple of the community to join in making the meeting a success. Fire Bugs Leave Evidence of Try The Hall of Justice in Transyl vania county came near being a has-been last Friday night, would-be miscreants, firebugs. or what-have-you, leaving evidence of having been in the courthouse and of having tried to burn the building. Jury room was the location of the fire that reached pretty large proportions before being extin guished or going out of its own accord. Raney Haile, janitoi’, found the door to the jury room standing open Saturday morning on his rounds. This is rather unu sual as all doors in the upstairs part of the building- are kept lock ed at all times. Upon investigation Hale found that a chair which had been left in the jury room after the last term of court was missing and a pile of charred coals and ashes in the floor showed mute evidence of where the chair had gone. Evidence points toward the fact that the firebugs or devil ment seekers, had started a five with some paper left in the room, had broken the chair up in pieces and burned most of it, along wifh several laths from the plastered wall which had been bashed in. The fire had reached the foot- square hole in the wall, caught on the projecting laths and had evidently burned for some little time. Cement floor in the building prevented serious damage under the fire, and just how the blaze managed to burn for several min utes or longer-before going out, and’ still do no serious damage is a my.stery to Sheriff-Patton^ who has some suspects under surveil lance.

LIBRARY TEA TO BE EVENT OF IMPORTANCE ON FRIDAY (Contributed) All are familiar with , the work of the Confederate Memorial Li brary, established by the United Daughters of the Confederacy some 20 years ago. The circula- tiori runs into the thousands, and the, entire. public has had oppor tunity of reading that has been much appreciated—so much ap preciated that many of the books are^ literally worn out from much handling. A-s we all know, the library has no, public appropriation to help support it! has but a very limited income from dues; and during the recent years the gifts from gen erous, patrons and friends have almost entirely disappeared. Hence there has been no fund for pur chase of new books during the past couple of years. There, is a special lack of books issued during the past two years, none having been purcha.sed in that-time. There is special l^ck among hundreds of the old . fa vorites, where the books havd lleen handled and used so much that they are worn out. There is a lack of many books —old and new—that have been borrowed from the library, and-re- turn omitted. Even where the li-;i brary has a book, an extra copy. can be used to advantage. Any good books can be used to advan tage. The Daughters will serve tea from 3 to 6 Friday afternoon. “Eats” furnished by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, at the library are well known and require no comment. The only thing Brevard wants to know is, “when.” Some of you have a lot of books that are in your way, and that you want to get rid of. The library can use them. Admission, one or more good books—old p* new.
