The snow storm of Sunday night and Monday j?avo us a depth of 8 inches. Onr pansies were budding and 'wonld soon have been in bloom if it hadn't been for the groundhog. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Boardman left their beautiful home in Brevard Monday for a bngthy sojourn in foreign fields. Don’t fail to read the serial story. “‘The Mystery,” commenced in this issue, It will interest you from sl^art to finish. This isn’t very propitious weather for building sidewalks, but it is godd weather to talk about them. We need a walk out Broad street. Shall we have flowers this year, or shall we decorate our streets with chickens? This is a question for owners of chickens to answer. Fee^ the birds—they are the farmers friends, While the ground is covered with snow their rations will be short unless we feed them. We certainly appreciate the ef forts of the street committee in cleaning the sidewalks with snow plows. This is a time when the chaingang might earn its board. You ought to have seen W. E. Bishop’s force rolling big snow balls off the roof of the Fraternity building. It may be fun for boys, but proved hard work for men. A yoke of oxen hitched to a ^ mountain “slide,” with tw^o jovial and happy young ladies as engi neers of the outfit, was the pret tiest snow picture we saw Monday. Even the Thermal belt ov^^r at Try on, where they never have any weather, got quite a supply of our last snow storm, and coasting, snow balling and sleighing w'ere indulged in. For shame! A dozen great big men running down a poor, tired, innocent rabbit which could scarce ly move in the snow. It might be sport, but how would you like to have been the rabbit? The weather we have had since groundhog day may yet drive the News manager into buying a pair of rubbers. He has never worn a pair since comir.g to this country thirty-four years ago, and it is *^‘hard to learn an oid dog new tricks.” It is only your duty and justice to encoarai^e your home paper, ex tend to it the nourishment to which ]t is entitled. Pay your subscrip tions promptly, and send a few extra copies to your relatiyes and friends at a distance. They will appreciate the favor and so will we. We loarn that Frank Jenkins ob- jer^rs to our remark last week that streets on which members of the Board of Alderman live all have sidewalks. The fact is he lives on a street that needs a sidewalk, but lie was appointed to fill a vacancy aud although elected since we for got him. Each year the j^oultry business is becoming more lucrative and now assumes proportions that will soon rival any branch of farm industry. Farmers are forced to acknowledge that the old hen can lift her own weight in raising a mortgage from the faim, but don’t try to raise poultry in town If the various churches in this county will furnish us the necessary information we should very much like to publish a church directory. Every regular church service in the county is a matter of news and Eight inches of snow Monday. Read “The Mystery” on page 3. Tha Southern Stock and Farming Co. have a new ad on page 5. It will interest our farmers. P. G. Morris was up from Lan» drum this week helping the Board- man’s to get started on their win- outing. Wednesday, Feb. 12, was Lin coln’s birthday, and was observed as a holiday in many cities through out the country. Osie has been afflicted v.-ith sore eyes this week and has not been at her job in the News office since Monday. Of course we miss her. On Tuesday night E. W. Carter received the Rank of Knight in the K. of P. lodge. He agrees with description of this Rank, viz. “Hos pital.” Are you reading the Commoner, Bryan's paper? Look at the propo sition in another column and come into the ranks. Bring 60 cents to the News office and we will do the rest. Ex-Sheriff King is a witness in the suit against Lance for shooting from the train and killing Miss Green at Buena Vista a few weeks since. He has gone to Asheville this week to attend the trial. A letter from Landrum S. C., Monday, says the snow there was 8% inches, and still snowing when the letter was mailed. So the “sunny south” got a bigger dose of “the beautiful” than Brevard. For almost a week our town has had electric lights—and they are more than welcome. Companies or individuals who control public franchises must expect criticism when they fail to furnish satistuc- tory service. If you are superstitious about the number 13 you had better give us your quarter dollars, for on each one are 13 stars, 13 letters in the scroll of the eagle’s beak, 13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 arrovv heads and 13 letters in the words “quar ter dollar.” Now it’s not safe to keep them so just bring them in and get credit on your subscription for the full amount. While Brevard banks have not formally called in their clearing house certificates, we learn that they do not contemplate putting any more of them in circulation. ^Ve ha\en t seen one of these “pan ic savers” in several days, and if any one wishes to pay for this pa per in certificates they must hurry up or lose the chance—certificates will De hard to find in another week. J. C. M’GAHA DEAD. e cannot help but remark that conditions in our town are much improved since the present Board Ox Aldermen have been in office. We now have a brick walk to the depot, oil both sides of Main street, one side of Caldwell, also a Mac adam road to the depot. They have aone well, but there are other streets that need walks, and w^e be lieve their good work will continue until other sections of the town are supplied. Keep your eye on Broad street—it is the coming residence street. No man or set of men could have conceived and engineered a better weather scheme to get rid of our 8 inches of snovv" without damage to anyone, than has prevailed since Monday. We may kick about th3 mud—it’s just natural to kick about soniething-but what would have been the result had other con ditions prevailed? Sunshine and cold nights would have kept the J. Crawford McGaha, better inown as “Craf,” died under sad tnd peculiar circumstances Wednes- tay of la^ week. He left home .ast Wednesday morning to look ip some hogs that were out |n the •ange without food, and the snow made it a duty to feed thera. ioid his family when he left that if ae did not find them he woJild i^irobably spend the night at Tom i’ow'ler’s and hunt farther the next day, so when night came and he did not return there was no uneasi ness at his home. He was at Fow ler’s house in the afternoon and nade arrangements wuth Fowler to come over and work for him on on Friday, ard left for home before dark. This was the last seen of him alive. Friday morning Fowler went to McGaha’s according to promise and the discovery was made that Mr. McGaha was missing. A searching party was organized and the body found near the trail where it had lain two nights and a day undisturbed. The find was a terri ble shock to the neighbors and friends who were in the searching party, as well as to his many friends in all this mountain country. Mr. McGaha w’as 76 years old, was born, married, and had lived a long and useful life on the waters of Little River. His “house was known far and wide for its hospi tality, and there are few citizens of the county but have participated in its cheer and shelter. He was a good neighbor, a true friend and an honored citizen. Mr. McGaha was a liberal mem ber of the old M, E. church,,^nd was the prime mover and the prin. cipal contributor in building t-he Little River chapel, near his home, as a place of worship for his de nomination. His house has always been the home of the Methodist Episcopal clergymon who have vis ited this country since the war, and his donations have kept up the semblance of life and interest among the few who wDrshipped at Little River chapel. He leaves a widow and four chil - dren to mourn their loss. V. B. McGaha, his only son, was for many years sheriff of the county. The daughters are all married, one of them being the wife of A. L. Hardin, our efficient, county'sur veyor. W. B. Hardin, who llVes over in the edge of South Carolina married one, and Steve Keith, now living in the Indian Territory, mar ried the third. No visible cause for his sudden death is known. He left home last Wednesday morning in his usual health, and the exertion of walk ing over the mountains in the snow must have been too great and heart failure resulted. His sudden death will be regretted by a large circle of friends, and the News joins them in sympathy for the im mediate family. FOR THE ORPHANS. CARD OF THANKS. Editor Sylvan Valiev News: Allow ns space in your pai>er to express our many thanks to our friends who so nobly and faithful ly rendered assistance during the sickness and death of our beloved mother,Elizabeth L. Lyday. Espe cially do..we appreciate the untiring and faithful help given us by Mrs. Beulah Woodfln, and Mrs. Martha McKinna. May the Good Lord bountifully bless them all. Her Children . There will be a Japanese Tea at the Fraternity building, Wednesday evening Feb. 19 from 7 to 9 o’clock. This tea is to be given for the benefit of the Balfour Orphan age. A cordial invitation is ex tended to all who vv’ill to attend this tea. You will be received, served and entertained by Japanese. Music will be a special feature of the evening. At the door a little Japanese will be ready to receive your free will offering for this cause, and we hope all will be prompted to contribute liberally as this is a cause that should appeal to the heart and purse of every one. There are 15 or 20 orphans at Balfour who will not be received into any other orphanage, as the majority of them are abandoned children. Some of them found a home in an old barn with no one to care for them. The building which they now oc cupy is not entirely finished, and they must be clothed and fed. Let each one come prepared to give to these needy children, remembering “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” If the weather is unfa- voroble on the 19th, the Tea will be on the 20th. will oe of interest to our readers— | snow on north ground a month at with- least.
