Coleman Galloway, attorney for) the board of road commissioners, "has 1 received instructions from the board i to proceed with prosecution of all i road subjects of the county who have j not paid their 1929 road tax, or , worked the required numbfer of days f on the roads. It is said that such J prosecutions have 'already been start ed, and a large number of road sub jects, it is said, will be brought into court on the charges. It is pointed out that ApriL firBt is the final limit for settlment of road tax, and, despite repeated warnings, many road subjects had failed or re fused to settle this tax account. With prosecution come addition i costs of the cases, and the secretary of the road board says those who make immediate settlement of the road tax owed the county will es cape "prosecution and costs. Hope is expressed that all citizens will make immediate settlement of the road tax so they may escape prosecution. It is said, however, that Attorney Gal loway has ben instructed to proceed with these prosecutions, and that he is now engaged in drawing the war rants to be served within a day or two, so those who woulu escape pros- . ecution and additional costs are urged to ack quickly in making set tlement.

END FOR SEASON! j ; Last Sunday evening marked the j close of the Sunday evening union i services which have been held in 1 Brevard church during the winter. The final service of the kind for the season was held in the beautiful I Episcopal church, with Rev. J. H. West of x the Brevard Methodist church preaching the sermon.. These union services were started early in the winter ,and the plan fol lowed was that of holding uni.in eve ning services in all the churches, in rotation. Instead of all the churches having evening services, all the con gregation gather at one church, -and worshipped together. A feature of the program that proved most inter esting was that providing no minis ter was to preach the sermon in his own church. When services were held in the Presbyterian church, the Episcopal rector, or the Methodist minister, would preach, and so on through nil the churches. MRS. ? 1 M'KEE TO SPEAK SATURDAY t Afcs. E. L.

The tannery closed down and all hands and foremen and ex ecutives joined in the search for the little fellow. Within a few minutes all the stores in the town had closed, ;ifc merchants and clerks joined in thi searth. Lt is said that practically every man, woman and child in the town . ere searching frantically foi the boy. It was believed he had en tered the waters of the river, as he could have been found had he gone in any other direction except that leading to the river. The river was dragged, and men stayed in the chilly waters for hours, trying to find the body, should it be in the river. Blodhounds were or dered from Asheville, and J. Cartel Roberts rushed his dogs to the scene. The dogs were placed in the child's little bed, and his little garment.' were laid before them. Then thej were taken to the barn, and tracker the .child to the river's edge. Systematic search ot the rivei bottom was then made, many men wading down stream. Allen Sisk.
