FARMER'S INSTITUTES TO
BE EDJUiCOLI
One at Democrat Aug. 12 and
one at Swannanoa Farm
Aug. 18.
Farmers, institutes, to be held un
, dir the auspices trf the state depart
ment of agriculture in eo-operation
with the farmers' institute committee
of Kuncombe county, are announcel
for Democrat on Thursday, August
12, and at the Swannanoa test farm
on Monday, Ausust IS. The morning
stssions will' be open at 10 o'clock,
and the afternoon sessions at 1:30.
There will be discussions on farm op
erations, crops, live stock, marketing
und kindred subjects.
A woman's Institute will also be
held In connection with the two In
stitutes announced above, at the same
times and places. Discussions for
them will pertain to household eco
nomics, home conveniences, health in
the home, the education of children
and other topics of interest to mothers
and home-makers. Those 'attending
the Institutes are asked to bring lunch
and spend the day. At the afternnon
session at each place there will be a
luestion box and round table discus
sion, and it is suggested that those
who attend might have paper and
pencil so that valuable points may be
quoted for future reference.
In connection with the woman's in
stitute at each place there will he ex
hibits of home baked bread and pre
pared school lunches. The former ex
hibits must be made by girls under 18
years of age. The preparation and
exhibition of school lunches is open
onlv to women over 18 years of age.
To the winner in the tirst exhibit there
will be awarded a year's subscription
to ' The-Woman's Magazine." To the
. one exhibiting the best prepared
school lunch there will be given
year's subscription to "American
Motherhood."
The exhibition of a school lunch is a
rather new idea, but it is pointed out
that a school child is of nn impression
able age and his lunches should lie
neat and clean, thus making them
sanitary and setting an example for
the child. These two points will eoun
in the exhibits, as well as the selection
of lood, with regard to Its being appe
tizing and at the same time easily
digestible.

Ir. Frank Tryon Meriwether.
Ir. Frank Tryon Meriwether, one of
the State's most prominent and suc
cessful surgeons, died June 12th at
the beautiful hotpital which bears his
name and which stands aa ft monu
ment to his skill and success. Per
haps never has the death of an .Ashe
ville citizen caused as much and as
universal regret as the passing of Dr.
Meriwether whose labors In behalf of
suffering mankind, whose big heart
and kindly disposition and Infactlous,
optlmlsmhad won for him the admir
ation of the people of Asheville
both in and out of his profession. I
Truly was it ald of him that "He was i
not a -little man. but a great, broad
tolerant spirit into w hose soul the Iron
never entered. Nor was the dollar
his god. Those who knew him best
and were familiar with the Inner de
tails of his life know that no pov
erty stricken patient ever appealed to
Dr. Meriwether In vain. The poor al
ways received from him that skillful
attention that saved the lives of the
rich."
Dr. Meriwether Was born in Louis
ville Ky.,' and graduated at tho Uni
versity with high honor. After grad
uating he came to Asheville In 18KC.
loiter he served five years as assistant
surgeon In the united States Army.
After his return to Asheville he soon
won for himself and enviable reputa- 1
tlnn as a surgeon and was connected
with the Clarence Marker Hospital nnd
the Asheville Hospital. Five year ago '
he founded Ihe Meriwether Hospital,
the capacity of which soon had to be
doubled In order to accommodate the
many who came to him from North,
South Fast and West to take advan
tage of his unusual surgical tklll. This
Institution, which tn one nf the most
modern and most complete private
surgical hospitals - in the land, will
stand a fitting monument to his life
and to the character of his work. '
He wi a student from first to last.
and he made It a practice to go to
some one of the medical centers every
year to do post graduate work or to
familiarize himself with the methods
of other leading surgeons. - He pos
sessed one of the most valuable medi
cal libraries In tha South and was
familiar with It
Dr. Meriwether was member of

He whs one of th founders nf the
