Flax Grows Well In
^ County Says Resident
Mrs. A. E. English of the Roylston
' section says that she now has some
linen towels that were made from
Transylvania county flax.
Mrs. England says that the towels
were made years ago from flax which
she and her mother gathered from the
farm of her uncle, Ephraim Orr, who
had a farm just across the river from
Plsgah Forest.
The texture of the towels which
Mrs. England has is very fine, and she
is of the opinion that' Transylvania
flax will be ideal for use In the manu
facture of fine cigarette paper such as

Decries Stealing of
Flowers By Vandals
From Burial Grounds
Editor The Times:
We have been taught to believe that
there Is "Honor Among Thieves." And
I still like to feel there Is, but what
little honor might have been among
some of the thieves In this section has
evidently' "Gone With The Wind” so to
speak.
It Is a rather difficult task to keep
potted plants, shrubbery or flowers
growing In our cemetery due to the
very lowest type of thievery. If this
low thief whose principles are far be
low that of the common run of street
canine, will get In touch with me the
next time he. she of they are inclined
to steal flowers or potted plants from
the lots In Gillespie cemetery I will
personally call the green house and
have such flowers as they are tempted
to steal delivered to their house at no
expense to them whatever.
Won’t you please revive the honor
that should exist among such thieves
as you and gel In touch with nrs for
your flowers hereafter. I will appre
ciate It an awful lot, and guarantee
sale and sound delivery.
