Fifty dollars and the costs, license voked for 12 months, and three months suspended sentence. Theodore Rogers of Franklin. another youngster who told the trut about being drunk and driving a car (or rather a pickup truck) and he, too got the minimum sentence of $50 and costs.

A vista will be cleared on the top of the mountain ’ and hikers should be able to see Into Asheville, fifteen miles distant. The Mount Pisgah trail is accessible from the Pisgah Motor road from Candler and Asheville and con nects up with the State Highway from Brevard and Waynesvllle at Wagon Road Gap. The second trail in popularity Is the Looklngglass trail from Davidson riv er to the top of Looklngglass Rock. This trail Is two miles in length and has been recently reconstructed by the Forest Service. Hikers who like to get out In the rough will enjoy the trail along the Pisgah Ledge from Wagon Road Gap to Tennessee Bald. This is a twelve mile hike. Two fine springs are locat ed at Tennessee Bald and Cold Springs. Hikers should either plan on having suiunmv mwi — - Wagon Road Gap or at Plnhook Gap. This trail passes above Rig Yellow stone and Little Yellowstone Falls on the Pigeon River. It also follows the route of the new survey of the Park to Park Highway. Anyone taking this trip should secure a berry permit from the Pisgah Ranger Station as this is blueberry time. The South Mills Trail has been maintained from the Turkey Pen Guard Station to the Cantrell Creek Lodge by Warden Huffman and a crew of local men. This trail is ia excellent condi tion and is Ideal for horseback travel. Permission can be secured at the sup ervisor’s office in Ashe\*llle to camp at the Cantrell Creek Lodge over night. This same I.odge is used as a check ing station during the South Mills Wilderness hunts. From the Captrell Creek lodge a trail Is to be constructed by Warden Huffman’s crew to Squir rel Gap up Cantrell Creek. This trail will enable travelers to walk to the Thompson Creek Trail and from there to the Pisgah Lodge. The main trail up South Mills river passes Wolf Ford and High Falls and joins the Thomp son Creek trail at the TVA water guage. This trip through the heart of the Game Preserve Is well worth taking, as wildlife In abundance can be seen. Old Vanderbilt trails of Interest are the "Shut In” trail, from the Elk Pasture on the Pisgah Motor road, through Rig Creek passing the Ferrin Knob tower to highway No. 191 at Rent Creek, a distance of 14 miles, and a carefully graded trail: and the Laurel Mountain trail from the Pis gah Motor road at the Pisgah Inn to the Yellow Gap road a distance of eleven miles and then follow the road to the North Mills River Recreational Area. Numerous places of Interest can be seen from the trails on the Pisgah district that cannot be seen any other way. Many beautiful falls rumble un heard because the public hates to leave the roads and their comfortable cars. Two of the finest falls In this country are the Devils Courthouse Falls and the Hamilton Neill Falls, yet visitors are few and far between. The Devils Courthouse Falls are lo cated above CCC Camp F-14 In Bal sam Grove on the Courthouse road and are only a quarter of a mile from the road. Thd Hamilton Neill Falls are located below the Davidson River Trout Rearing station and a trail takes off from the Daniel Ridge Road a few hundred yards above the intersection of this road and the Davidson River road. The Hamilton Nelli Trail fol lows an old railroad grade to the very top of the falls. Another trail crosses below the falls. Brevard Is fortunately located with in two miles of many picturesque trails. Notable among these are the Cagle Mt. trail that begins at the In tersection of highway 280 and 2S4 and continues for fifteen Vnlles to Glouces ter Gap on the Cathey’s Creek road, the Kings Mills trail to Cat Gap and Johns Rock, the Lamb’s Creek trail down Shut In or Horse Cove and many others that afford a network of en joyable trails in this vicinity. Ranger John W. Squires realizes that a great deal of the country cover ed by the Pisgah trail is new to visit ing nature hikers and would be glad to give information on these trails to anyone who will stop at the Ranger's office at Pisgah Forest.

II beginning 1895. !| (From the fth of Augutt 15. HOt) The Masonic I.odge is undergoing a general overhauling. A raised plat form has been extended all around the room, with new rostrum at the end of the building. The walls are being papered, malting is being placed on tho floor and the entire inside of the hall is tc be repainted and varnished. New and handsome chandeliers will be put in and other little improvements that will aid to tno beauty and com fort of the hall will be made. When all the work that is now started la completed the Dunn's Rock Lodge will have a home second to none In thl* section of the country. The Hawkins safe blowers are still at large with very little if any clue as to who they arc. The basket they used and left by the safe, was Identi fied by Mrs. Ledbetter of Davidson River. The parties who borrowed it on the evening before the robbery claimed to be t. camping party and bought some rations from Mrs. Led better ar.d borrowed the basket to carry it out to their camping place. The same parties were seen by others in this section on the day before the safe was opened and since have been miss ing. Policeman Aiken and others have taken In the surrounding country and towns in search of the guilty parties, but so far nothing has been learned as to their whereabouts. Mr. Hawkins says 22 or 23 watches were taken in stead of 15 as first reported. _ It Is thought now that the new resi dence of Dr. J. W. Wallis, opposite the Franklin hotel, will be finished in I the next two weeks, and that the work of the Woodbrldge house will b# com pleted within three weeks. Work on Jasper Orr’s residence is being pushed I ahead, and it looks as if the outside work was almost completed. The side wall of the new store room adjoining England’s store is up to the first Joist, while the rock and brick for the foun dation of J. W. McMinn’s new brick building have been placed on the ground ready for use. A series of meetings is In progress at the Baptist church this week. In these services Pastor Newton is assist ed by Rev. D. W. Herring. The con gregations so far have been good and much Interest is being manifested. Mr. Herring is a fine preacher, a de voted Christian and Is doing good work. Mrs. Sam Allison, who has been quite ill for some two weeks, is still very sick. There has been little if any change in the last few days, and her condition is still almost hopeless. East Monday she was moved to the Dr. Sales place near the home of Mr. Al lison’s father. Her many friends sin cerely hope that she may yet recover. On Wednesday the Epworth Deague and Methodist Sunday school went out to Glen Cannon falls and enjoyed the day picnlcing In the woods. Pastor and Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Puett and Miss Mamie Allison chaperoned the party. Robert and Henry Moss, who live in Buncombe county, were arrested Mon day in the vicinity of the Pink Beds for digging ginseng contrary to law. They were brought to Brevard and ap peared before Justice W. P. Whitmire Tuesday. A fine of $10 and costs was imposed on each. V. B. McGaha met with a painful ac cident last Saturday afternoon. In at tempting to drive several cattle from a cane patch he fell and broke his arm near the wrist. While It gives him much pain, he is not confined to his room and Is able to be about his work. Pew persons who remain constant ly in their home town comprehend how rapidly they are growing or at what pace they are traveling the road of progress to prosperity. After an absence of more than four months ye rested and renewed News editor returns to the peaceful haunts and equable climate of Brevard to find that his town has almost outgrown his recog nition, and he hastens to tell his old readers of the many improvements which have been commenced, continu ed and completed while he was rest ing among the lakes of Michigan and Indiana. The fact that these Invest ments are largely by our own citizens marks our town as under the control of men of marked ability, enterprise, progress and business sagacity. We doubt if there Is another town of less than 600 population in the South, or even in the United States, that has as good a water supply and sewerage system, and there is no reason why it should not be the most popular health resort In the mountains. The follow ing gives a 11st of the improvements that have been started or completed since we left Brevard in March, and the approximate cost of same; J. W.

He had a spe cially-built freezer in which hi a servants made ice cream for him whenever they could get ice. But no one ever tasted an ice cream cone before 1900. The honor of its invention goes to the girl friend of Charles E. Menches, a young ice cream salesman in St. Louis. Menches was doing his courting during the St. Louis ex position in 1904. On one occasion he brought his fiancee a bunch of flowers and an ice cream sandwich at the same time. Lacking a vase, the resource ful lady took one of the layers of ^ the sandwich and rolled it into a cone to act as a vase, She then rolled the other cone in the same way, and so was invented the ice cream cone. The ice cream sundae is of an earlier origin. About 1870, the city council of Ithaca, N. Y., passed a law prohibiting saloons from sell ing drinks on Sunday. The law, however, did nothing to prevent bar customers from getting thirsty on Sundays the same as any other day. The pharmacist in a drug store across the street from the city’s leading saloon was not slow to capitalize on this human frailty. He devised a Sunday concoction made of ice cream to provide relief for thirsty customers on that day in place of stronger fare. In almost no time, his idea had spread to all the other towns in the country that also had Sunday closing laws for saloons. Plenty of room on the “Hon or Roll”—send in your renewal today. x E23S3 Look What Food Value* Dixie Offer* Flour Sale ft £ 24-lbs. Rose Royal |*A . 48-lbs. Rose Royal #1 | r Plain or Self-Rising ..
