Walter West, pastor of the Albemarle Methodist church anrl son of Rev. J. II. West, filled his father's pulpit at the Brevard Methodist church, Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. West preached on the 13th chapter of I Cor. choosing as his text, "Now abideth Faith, Hope and Love, but the greatest of these is Love." HICKORY NUT GAF OF YESTERDAY By Kbv. Ira C. Swanman , "Oft in the stilly night Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Fond Memory brings the light Of other days around me." These beautiful lines of Sir Thomas Moore have a perennial charm that will forever keep them alive in the affections of lovers of poetry, but irom time to time they acquire a special meaning for the individual, as in our own case a veritable flood of pleasurable thoughts surge o'er us, when, in The Tribune, we see from time to time little items about friends and scenes in Hickory Nut Gap, for so long a time our "stamping ground." While still a student in the theological seminary it was my bles sed privilege to minister, during the summer months, to several little flocks in Polk, Rutherford, and Hen derson, but for the present we shali ! confine our remarks to events that centered around Bat Cave, near which placg was located the quaint little Chapel of the Transfiguration. In the year 1914 this place of worship was located some distance above the con fluence of Grassy Creek and Broad River, (we believe this bit of geog raphy is correct), at the first big bend in the road, and, on the quiet Sabbath evenings that characterized the period preceeding the general use of automobiles, thither resorted a goodly company of men and matrons, boys and girls, and of the latter may we speak particularly for many of them came from near by Camp Minnehaha, adding that urban touch that contirbuted so much towards making the rustic edifice what Isaiah envisioned when he wrote, "My house shall be called a house of prayer for all people." These lovely young ladies from The 6amp were firmly imbued with the good old doctrine that "handsome is as handsome does" and, in conse quence, assume the always arduous task of keeping the church building presentable, and they frequently decorated the chancel with woodland flowers and trailing vines, artistically arranged in such manner as to create the impression that one was in an exquisitely beautiful sylvan cathed ral. The foliage just spoken of was, of course, placed well above the head of the regular "preacher," but one Sunday! ? horror of horrors!? a tall visiting clergyman unexpectedly put in his appearance, a man whose stature exceeded beyond measure that of the regular "supply, and,? yes, you have guessed correctly, hirsute ornamentation was at a premium, which is to say, he was somewhat bald, quite somewhat, in fact ? and, of course, the inevitable happened. As he stood there preaching beneath the trailing arbutus (or whatever it was) a tiny little tendril trailed down just far enough to simulate the effect of a hungry fly making a perfect "three point" landing. No record was kept of the number of times the reverend brother "swatted" that imaginary "fly" but, as the little boy said, "It was prettv plenty." Nevertheless, the congregation displayed marvelous courage and fortitude, repressing all desire to giggle or smile, and nothing untoward on its part occurred to mar the dignity of the service. Perhaps our readers, at least some of them, have been wondering why no credit has been given Miss So and So far her faithful services as or ganist, but there was no Miss So and So at the organ; our organist was a man, none other than Mr. "Chat" Valentine, engineer in charge of the old Hickory Nut road, which was then in process of construction, and let it be said that Mr. Vajentine's presence conferred a double blessing, for not only did he furnish splendid music, but, as he himself said, his charming wife and all the little Valentines constituted quite a size able congregation in themselves. Much water has passed over the great wheel of Time since that beautiful summer of 1914 but nothing can efface the happy recollections of those simple but beautififl services j held at close of day in that hallowed spot, and even now in Memory's ear we seem to catch the echo of the vesper hymn, and he hear the sweet voiced children, the venerable an cients, the young men and maidens.

As a general thing, the Cobbler and Early Bliss should be used be cause they mature early. However, I the McCormick or Lookout Mountain va?iety is very popular in piedmont Carolina because of its hardiness and heavy yields. The quality of this variety is rather poor. Q. For the past two years my dew berries have been injured by a dis ease known as anthracnose. What can I do to control this? A. Cut off all the canes at or just be low the surface of the soil im mediately after the berries are har vested. Burn these canes as soon as they are dry. Plow under the leaves left on the ground. When the canes are tied to stakes next March or April, spray the plants with a 2-3-50 I Bordeaux Mixture and again after I the plants have bloomed. This should ! control the trouble. i Continued dry weather has cut the I bean and potato crops in Mitchell and | Yancey more than 50 per cent. Price, ' too, has been low and growers will \ get just enough to pay the cost of | harvesting. j all joining with one accord as they I softly sing: "Jesus, tender Shepherd hear me; j Bless Thy little lamb tonight: ' Through the darkness be Thou near me; Keep me safe till morning light."
