100 pounds to the square inch Is ob

reservoir, which is located several
hundred feet above the town, on the
mountain Bide, and which holds 150,
000 Billions.
The sewerage will be to the south
fork of the Swannanoa, which skirts
Black Mountain on the east and south.
It is expected that the system will be
completed by the first of the Incoming
year.
The recent big lire at Black Moun
tain will result In the erection of sev
eral brick business, buildings in the
very near future. Already the walls
are almost completed for Mr. Wahab's
new brick store on the site of the one
destroyed by fire. ; :.-..',
Mr. Bradham, liveryman, has begun
the erection of a two-story brick stable
on the corner lot almost opposite the

The Black Mountain Lumber com
pany will rebuild Boon on their for
mer site opposite the freight depot.
Yates & MeOuire, grocerymen, have

Helping the Books.
Persons about to Install new libra

vice offered on this subject by a writer
in Les Aunales (I'arlsi. Glass cases

few precious volumes which are spe
cially looked after and frequently dust
ed since the confined atmosphere and
lack of nir circulation in sucb book
cases are favorable to the development

ly," odds the Scientilic American, "the
simple precaution should be taken of
placing on the shelves behind the
books strips of cloth or flannel mois
tened with benzine, phenol, tobacco
Juice or turpentine. These strips give
excellent results If renewed from time
to time."

Word Blindness.
Verbal antipathies are common. Most
of us bate the feel, so to speak, of cer

Is 'verbal astigmatism prevalent too,
we wonder? We never know the dif

010 FOOT INSTALLING
ELECTRIC LIGHT
It Is to Be Ready by the New
Year Current From Eig
Tannery.
Correspondence oj 'ike o(0',(t;-.Vcr.
Old Fort, Dec. 18. This town con
tinues coming to the front, and is soon
to have electric lights added to its other
city comforts.
Home time since Old Fort Installed
a water works system and put down
something over a mile of concrete
sidewalks, and now these city acces
sories are to be accompanied by elec
tric lights by the first of the coming
year of 1913. The current is to be
supplied from the electric machinery
at the' tannery plant here of the
L'nited States leather' company. The
holes have been dug and the poles
are being placed, and this is to be fol
lowed by the stringing of the wires,
when the connection will be made
with the electric dynamos at the tan
nery, and then the town's progressive
population will possess that which in
their present condition they most de
sire, more light in Old Fort.
Another commendable and modern
improvement Is the new steel bridge
being built over Mill creek, connect-
