The School is in excellent shape.
Mr. Fred Harris has recently been

Retail sales of Ford cars, trucks

Mr. Harris comes from two years of |

The scTiool holds its opening ex

the cabinet of the S. School held a

meeting in the Hut. This is to be ^ ^
a monthly event. During last week
Mrs. E. W. Blytlie and Mrs. C. P.

NEW ENTRANCE GATE TO BRE

The Ford factory and asseml)ly |
plant production figures reached a j
total of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and j
tractors for the year, with retail sales !
by dealers approximating 1,095,000,1
wliich in the United States alone sur- \
passed the 1920 retail sales Tecord
by 104.213 Ford cars and trucks.
The Ford Company says the vut-
loolc for 1922 is decidedly optimistic.
In fact, concrete evidences already
in that car and truck retail
sales for December 1921 exceeded
December 1920 sales by almost 25
per cent, and Fordson tractor retail
sales for the same periods show sin
increapc of over 100 per cent for
December 1921, as well as an in
crease over the total tractor sales
for the month of November.
These facts seem to indicate that
not only are the farmers buying more
freely, but that the general public
TThe passing of “Uncle Joe” Duck
worth removes one of the most widely^
known and highly beloved private cit
^zens the good county of Transylvan
ia has produced in a generation. He
remained a private citizen through a
long, honorable, fruitful life because
public office did not appeal to him. He
was always too busy administering to
the needs of his family and advanc
ing the interests of friends to seek
honors for himself. Finally, his lab
ors in this life over and his work well
done, he answered the call of the Mas
ter, and as gently as the leaf falls on
an autum day, closed his eyes in
sleep, to awake to the glories of the
life beyond. We shall never again
experience the touch of that friendly
hand, or enjoy the genial fellowship
that was his to give. Let those of us
who have been the happy recipients
of his numberless deeds of kindness
pause at memory’s altar with a flower
of love and affection for this beloved
friend, mingle our tears with those of
the bereaved family and friends and
recall, with them, the virtues of the
departed.
Joseph E. Duckworth was a man of
industry and sterling integrity; one
v.'ho did not live unto himself alone,
but a man who found pleasure in en
couraging those around him to brav
ely face the storms of life and not be
come despondent in the hour of trial
and disappointment. My acquaint
ance with Mr. Duckworth covers r
period of years extending from early
childhood, and I have long considered
him one of the finest types -of true
citizenship. He was generous, like
able, loyal, ever watchful of the good
deeds recorded of others and never
faltering in his devotion to the best
interests of his state and society in
general, strong convictions and Ac
courage to assert them. Unswerving
loyalty, devotion to family and friends
and the inflexible purpose to act well
his part in all the relations of life
were predominemt amongst the num
erous admirable traits of cliaracter
noted in his long and successful car
eer as the prince of good fellows.

like the descending sun at evening

radiance of hope. The loss to those

FIRST SNOW FALL THE CAUSE
OF PAINFUL INJURY-.
% A very impressive and unique en
trance gateway has recently been . ,
erected at the junction of the in-;>= becoming more responsive and re-
stitute Avenue with R. R. Street, con I
On last Friday night a crowd of
young folks were tobogganing on
Cooper’s hill and John White, son of
Mr. and Mrs. 6. P. White, suffered a
very painful injury. John ran into
a bob wire fence cutting his forehead
from eye to crown, a deep gash. It
required ten stiches to sew up the
wound. John is again going school
and is apparently as well as usual.
.lift
sisting of a central opening flanked
with tall massive pillars bearing on
their capitals electric lanterns and on
their fronts bronze plates bearing the
school name and that of the society
which donated the gateway. These
pillars are supported by buttresses
which curve down to smaller pillars
on either side which flank the two
smaller openings on the sidewalks.
This work is all of our native cob
blestone and is considered one of the
best specimens of that art in the
county. The stones have been care
fully selected as to shape and artis
tic effect, the joints partly recessed
and the whole cleaned down with
acid.

ATTENTION I. O. O. F.
The State Degree Team will be in
Hendersonville sometime in April and
request that Connestee Lodge meet
with them and furnish candidates.
A banquet will be one of the feat
ures. All local Oddfellows are asked
to see A. E. Hampton for further par
ticulars.
Another point brought out by a
comparison of production figures for
the past two years shows that Ford
enclosed cars are gaining in popular
ity, as 23 per cent of the 1921 pro
duction were Sedans and Coupes as
against a total of 18 per cent for the
year previous.
Recent reductions in Ford car and
truck prices brought them to a new
low level. The Touring car now
sells for $348, the Runa^ut for $319
the Coupe for $580, the Sedan for
$645, the Chasis for $285, and the
Truck for $430, all F. 0. B. Detroit.
This is the fourth price cut in the
past sixteen months. During that
time the price of the Touring Car
alone has been cut from $575 to
$348, a reduction of 40 per cent. Re
ductions on some of the other types
have been even greater.
The Ford Company believes that
this reduction, while not a.large one,
is especially important at this time,
as it should go a long way toward
stabilizing market conditions.
Ford is giving emplo^ent at pre
sent to approximately 4t>,000 men in

NEW OFFICERS IN THE PRESBY
TERIAN CHURCH:
On Wednesday night, January 18,
the members of the Presbyterian
Church gave a reception to their new
ly elected officers in the Hut; it was
largely attended and much enjoyed.
On Sunday Jnight, January 22nd,
the following new officers were or
dained and installed in office: Elder
T. S. Wood, Sr., Hinton McLeod, and
Fred Harris. Deacons: R. B. Lyon,
George Philipps, and Robert E. Orr.
BEE HIVE BARBER SHOP MOVES
T. M. Mitchell has appointed tlw
following ladies of Brevard as a com
mittee to canvass Brevard fot funds
to relieve the starving Jewish people
of Europe:
Mrs. Z. W. Nichols, Mrs. Welch Gal
loway, Mrs.'David Ward, Mrs. S. C.
Yates, Mrs. Ernest Norwood, Mrs. J.
S. Silversteen and Mrs. J. W. Smith.
He has suggested that the ladies call
a meeting and make their own plans,
etc., at an early date.
The news that comes from Europe
of the destitution of hundreds of
thousands of Jewish people must sad
den eveery warm-hearted man and
womau in Transylvania. The fact
that there are 400,000 Jewish refu
gees riven from their homes by star
vation and murderous raids is an ap
peal to the generous instincts of our
people, which they must and will
heed.
America gave its best blood and of
its wealth not only in the war, but
to feed starving Belgians and Armen
ians and Chinesee and other destitute
peoples. Until stability and order
are restored' America will continue to
make sacrifices to save children from
extermination.
In every movement for helping the
suffering men of all creeds and races,
our Jewish fellow-citizens have vied
with alV other Americans in sacrifice
and service. I am sure that the ap
peal to be made during the week be
ginning; February 6th for the Jews
in devastated Europe wnll be respond
ed to not only by men and women of
their own race but by all Tratnsyivafi^
ians, whose hearts are touched with
pity for suffering peoples.
