With a ! smile on his face he closed his eyes and folded his hands for a quite rest, because God who doeth all things well willed it so. ""''WH Mr. Gilliland was the son of Mrs. John Dunlap of Siler City, N. C. He ' had made his home in the Swananoa Valley since his marriage in June, 1928. He married Miss Nancy Raines of near Brevard and visited in this section many times, gaining a host x of friends who were made sad to hear of his passing. While working at an electrically driven saw, in the Beacon manu facturing plant a piece of lumber was torn from his hands and flung into the air striking him in the abdomen. After spending several hours in the hospital where the best medical aid was rendered his condition proved fatal. He said his time had come and he was ready to go. He joined Love's Creek Baptist church in his early teens and later transferred his membership to Swan anoa Baptist church where he was a member until his death. He had a host of relatives and friends through out the eastern part of this state and many other states to mourn their heavy loss. "He came forth as a flower and was cut down." "But there is yet hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again and that the tender branches thereof will not cease." Life has>been lonely since his de parture. and there is a vacancy no one seems to fill. Yet we know life has been made a little better for his having passed through and Heaven a little brighter through his entrance there. He was laid to rest in Pine Grove i cemetery beneath a bed of roses un- ' <!er the everlasting shade of God's trees and under the sod of God's earth until the resurrection morn. , A Sister-in-law, MYRTLE RAINES. - JL KISSIS'G Lincoln Times Every so often some learned doc tor ? whose best friends it is to be .suspected, won't tell him what his rouble is ? has his fling at taking the joy out of life by issuing solemn warning against the perils of kissing. Now comes Dr. O'Leary, of Min nesota, who declares, as many have done before him. that kissing is likely ? to spread a wide varity of disease fjerms, ranging from tuberculosis to housemaid's knee. Says he: "Even the healthiest are liable to disease from infection through careless os culation." Like others of the killjoy tribe, the good doctor doesn't know just what can be done about it. In spite of all ^ ^warnings, the ancient art of kissing ?fctill flourishes. It is even suspected that in some quarters it is on the increase. #r Yet few will deny that kissing has its dangers. One of which, in certain cases, is that of getting caught. "MOTHER TAYLOR" Back in the early nineties there came into the mountains of Western North Carolina two persons seeking a place wherein to found an In stitution that had for its principal aim and purpose the development of Christian Character and training for Heme making. Fortunately for Brevard, there! were those living in the town who ' sensed a vision of what such an In- 1 stitution would mean for the genera! i up-liit of this great mountain sec- j tion, and these envisioned persons were instrumental in having these two people visit Brevard and Tran sylvania County and they saw a "ridd already white with harvest" where laborers were few. Leasing for a season the house erected by Mrs. E. T. llenning at the present Rail-Road cut on West Main street, one room was set apart for school work, and if memory is not at fault, Miss Dovie Hamlin of. Selica, was the first pupil. Other girls came from time to time ar.d larger quarters became necessary. Miss Delia Gash, the then occupant of the "Red House," and one of the choice Christian spirits of the com- j munity, turned her Home, which was j then and still is one of the landmarks of the town, over to these Heaven sent Christian workers who had not despised the "day of small begin nings" and who saw the work of i the Master prospering in their hands. A large increase in attendance of girls from various sections of Tran sylvania came and lived in this Home which was indeed "as a city set on a hill" and gave forth a radiant light of character training which has in creased with the passing of the years. Many people in the town, having be come convinced that the school was one of remarkable influence for good, began to patronize it by sending their j boys and girls to it. Soon it became ! apparent that the Institution had be- 1 come fixed as an indispensable part ? of the County's Educational system, and additional room for growth be came a pressing necessity. Six acres of land were purchased where the girls dormitories and Administration buildings are now located, and on April 9, 1901, ground was broken, with appropriate ceremonies, for the erection of "Taylor Hall." Soon thereafter, by constant and j persistent efforts on the part of these two path-finders in Christian and vo- 1 cational home-training, aided by their j loyal supporters and friends who had seen the horizon pushed back by this | helpful and wholesome Institution of ! learning, interested The Woman's : Home Mission Society of the Metho-i dist Episcopal Church, South, in the,1 work which had been brought through I years of struggle and hardship to a ! place where there was needed ad ditional power and resources beyond j that which these two faithful found- ! ers, limited as they \ ere in the things i of the world, could command, and j into the hands of this great Religious j organization of a great Church, Fitch Taylor and Sara Taylor, with ? confidence and faith in the future of j the Institution, committed a great | trust. That which had been to them a dream in the long ago had become, j under a Providential guidance, a I reality, and in its destiny for a won derful and uplifting work among the children of men of this Southland, j and especially of the great mountain | section, they had an abiding faith , that lasted for each of them until j life's sun-set gates closed. From the "one room" and the "one: girl," these two had seen hundreds I of boys and girls cdme to a well ! equipped Institution with modern dormitories and other necessary buildings surrounded by broad anil fertile acres for vocational develop ment. Truly these two faithful founders had seen "their dreams come true." After many years of useful benevo- j lent labors, Rev. Fitch Taylor, passed j to his reward in 1909. His saintly i companion remained for 23 years to j see larger things accomplished, and ,! on July 25, 1932, she wrapped the; drapery of her couch about her and I lay down as one to pleasant dreams. ! What a lasting monument to the j sacred memory of these departed I saints of earth. Neither brass noi I stone piled high is necessary to keep alive the memory of these who have ! labored and passed on, but far better than this, the influence for good set'1 in motion by them is and will ever I be as a pillar of cloud and fire lead- 1 ing this and other generations from I the low-land bogs of earthly and un- J kempt homes to the up-lands of bet- 1 ter citizenship and Christian charac ter. If some one shall stand in Brevard in the years to come and ask where is the monument to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, he will only have to be told, as was the visitor who stood amidst the wonders of Westminister Abbey looking for the monument to its build er, Sir Christopher Wrenn,: "Look around you." Is he yet unsatisfied? Let him find his way into the homes of those who have gone out from "Epworth School" and "Brevard Institute." Let him visit the Campus, the Carpenter shop, the Farm Dem onstration Department; the Domestic Art Department, and the Marthas in the Kitchen, and then let him sense | the Christian atmosphere pervading ! the entire work of the Institution. Here this saintly couple labored ' and others have entered into their labors. They builded better than they knew, and the glorious work which they began and which is being con tinued lives on in the lives of thousands who have gone out and will go out into all sections of this great country to establish Christian I Homes which constitute the only bul ! wark to our disturbed arid tottering civilization. Beside her departed husband who sleeps ami-d the charms of a Sylvan Valley, the body of this aged saint rests from her labors and when He cometh to gather up His jewels these GLOUCESTER !

Of course years and years age when the early settlers came ts this country, that was true, but today i1 is '"tirely different. Recently a nationally known car toonist in his regular Sunday comic section sketched some views of North Carolina. These were taken froir coast to the mountains, and in thr mountain section he showed a moun taineer's cabin on the side of a steer hill, with the forest coming dowr to the very dior steps. Even if tha' condition did exist as he tried to show in his cartoon, the mountaineer's home would at least been filled with the purest of air and his well fillet MUTUAL EXCHANGE OF VALUE TO FARMER Mutual farm exchanges as operated in a number of North Carolina coun ties have great value- sinfl moiJ <f them should be organized ant! V; whole family welded into a state as j sociation or organization. l;clk vts J. W. Johansen, extension economist at State College. Mr. Johnson says there are sonic j 50 county mutual exchanges now in ; operation. They* are simply ymall co I operative buying and selling organi zations owned and operated by the '? farmers themselves and incorporated ! under the Mutual Exchange Act of ' North Carolina. Under this type of set-up, the farmers are permitto-1 by i law to collectively pool their farm i products for the purpose of ass< mb liing, grading, processing, packaging, advertising and selling the products j to the best advantage. The Act also ! permits the associated farmers to buy ! their supplies collectively at whole ' sale prices. j This volume purchasing and sell ing has saved the farmers of the State considerable money in recent years so much so that a number of county farm agents who have or ganized such exchanges have been the' targets of attacks by certain business interests which have disguised their attacks under the head of saving taxes. There is one exchange, says Mr. Johnson, now in its second year i which will save the fanners of the county for 1932 between ?! 5.000 and $30,000 in fertilizer costs alone. An-W other mutual exchange did a volume of business amounting to $375,000 for H its farmers in 1931. The bulk of this business amounting to $225,000 was from farm products sold for the mem bership and $150,000 was for farm supplies bought in pooled orders "As the farmer sees his way to to affiliate his local exchange with the State Exchange and this in turn affiliates with national marketing or ganizations, the farmer will have an improved outlet for his products," ? Johansen believes. with the best of water in the wc rld. while within two miles of where (hat cartoon was drawn, we venturp to say, there was a slum section where j conditions were much worse than in ! side the mountaineer's cabin. The idea has gone abroad that mountain people are victims of being shut off from the rest of the world and do not know how to improve the ? existing conditions around them. Of ? course, we, who live here k:-ov,. 'hat i this is not true, and the b>'-t way to convince the rest of the world is to ' just keep on improving tht- ina-.y ! wonderful blessings that ha v. h-< n i bestowed upon us by nature.
