meetinc of aldermen. The board of aldermen had its j-eo-ular meeting in the mayor’s (jffico last Monday night, Mayor rp W. Whitmire presiding. A number of matters were brought np for discussion. An ordinance relating to a dog tax was passed awl appears in full elsewhere in thi^ issue. J, S. Bromfield was granted per- nii^^sion to have a railroad track iiiii across Whitmire street. It was decided by the board to make the tax on property within the town limits for the year 1908, 70 cents on the hundred dollars. \ slight change was made in reg ulating the street tax. All persons liable to street or road duty in the to^vn limits will be required to ]iiake two semi-annual payments, ^•j.50 in June, and $2.50 in Decern- It‘ this tax is not paid before tlio (lay set for working the streets joven days work will be required. The attention of the board w’as ciilleil to the condition of Jordan street at its eastern extremity. This purt of the street has not been properly worked, the drainasre is defective, and in times of copious rainfall a large area adjoining the i^tri'et is Hooded and turned into a standing pond, which is a menace to health, as well as a local nuis ance. The board decided to look into the conditions and find out what work Avas needed to be done CHANCES IN SUMMER SCHEDULE.

CHANGE m TELEPHONE RATES. Editor Sylvan Valley News. We are having some cloudy weath er at present. Jake is now plowing corn for Aunt Mary Galloway. There were several people from Quebec and lUisman at church Sun day. J. A. Mull and family visited Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Sharp on the 31st of May. Tom Jordan and Joe Zachary of this place were visitors at Brevard Monday. Louie Gillespie and Memery Mull were visitors at Henry Gillespie’s Sunday night. Crops of this section are now look ing fine as the worms are not doing much damage. There was quite a large crowd at the Union Meeting at Mt. Moriah Sunday last and they decided to protract this week. Will Turner was in town on the 1st and says he has the plastering com pleted on the Selica school building. We hope the building may soon be in readiness for school. J. G. W. Editor Sylvan Valley News: Oscar Lyon was all smiles last Saturday and Sunday. ^ Win. Garren still holds his same position—fishing on the river bank. We are glad to know that prohibi tion carried by such a large majority. Miss Janie Galloway of East Fork, was a visitor in this .section the 24th. Will Glazener visited his Parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Glazener, last Sunday. llev. F. M. Jordan preached a good sermon on Saturday of our Union Meeting. We learn that Jonlan Whitmire’s baby has been very sick. Hope it is better by this time. Miss Davis, from South Carolina, and her brother were visitors at Hen ry Gillespie’s Saturday and Sunday. There was quite a large crowd from various parts of the county in attendance at the Union Meeting at Mt. Moriah. Whitmire & Hamilton’s store at the crossing is almost completed. It is the nicest store we have seen on the line anywhere. Quite a number of our voters are going to vote for the man for legis lature who comes out and declares himself for no-fence law regardless I of politics. We have the no fence and now we want the law to pro- i tect it. A protracted meeting is going on this week at r>[onnt Moriah and a good interest is being taken. On last Sunday we had a good sermon delivt‘red by Rev. J. K. Henderson. There was the largest congregation there we have seen at church in a long time. (JuEss Who.

During the warm, summer-like days we experience in the spring our thoughts turn (not lightly) to things rural. We long for green fields, shady noots, the rippling brooks and singing birds. Some of these charms are pres ent about every town and village, and if the place be clean and neat, the streets well planted, foothill and can yon not too far away, the springtime proves a harvest. Many do not care for the extremely dull monotony of our seaside resorts and choose rather the charms of the woodland and pasture, green and fresh. Lucky the town whose appearance attracts the summer visitor. A large part of the responsibility for attractiveness lies with the Individual. See that your hedge is trimmed, your fence and gate in good repair and neatly painted. Your sidew'alk, wheth er cement or gravel (wood is scarcely permissible), should be In good condi tion. The street and gutters in front of your property must be kept free from weeds, paper and other rubbish, and all such should be burned in the yard, not in the street. Cut your lawn often, trim j^our trees and plants and give all about you an “alive and up to date” look. After you have done this see what you can do to awaken a neighborhood interest in improvement. It may be you can only organize a “block beautiful club,” or the move ment may assume dimensions that would w’arrant the formation of an improvement society. Civic beauty is an asset, civic ugliness a liability. Which will you choose? “THE OLD WORLD AND ITS WAYS’ BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. The manager of the Brevard telephone system appeared be fore the board of aldermen about six weeks ago and stated that in view of the greatly increased ex peuse necessitated by the recent improvements in the system, the prices for telephone service wo’d have to be raised. After discus sion, the board gave its consent, between 800 and 900 feet of cable have been installed, and by the of July the whole system 'vill be ill perfect condition. Be- ^"innin;^^ with July 1, it is pro- i'osed that the following schedule of prices Vv'ill be in force: Resi dence jjhones per month, 81-50; business houses, 82.50; physi-j by Isham Harrison, Camp No. 27, U. tians, si.75.

Gordon, and spok? with the same fervor and eloquence that characterized his address on that memorable occasion. The entire south was represented in the attendance at the interment among the honorary and active pallbearers. A New York paper asks, “Can a woman dress on 820,000 a year?” and to the Bernard (Kan.) Bee replies: “Ours does.” From this vre conclude that the news paper business is a good thing in Kansas. UNTIDY PARKS. Useful Suggestion For Keeping Pleas* ure Grounds In Order. A good hint for keeping parks cloan Is contained in the following views of a New York man who believes in or der: “I w’ish that every man or w’oman who goes into one of our beautiful parks on Sunday morning from now on could have received the training I did when camping out as a boy in Canada. I was taught to pick up every bit of paper, every scrap of every kind loft over from a meal, and to put it in the camp fire. And after all the refuse had been consumed we alwaj's had to see to it that the fire was put out so that there would be no danger of start ing a forest fire. The result of such training is to make one careful of other folks’ rights, and that would work out here splendidly. “For if men and w’omen w’ho went into a park on Sunday morning and used a portion of their newspaper as a protection from the dampness of the earth v/ould only pick it up and carrj’’ it off with them to deposit it in the nearest receptacle for such things the general appearance of our pleasure grounds would bo improved immense ly. It distresses me to soe the beauti ful lawns marred by those bits of pa per at a time when they ought to look their best and as the.v would look all summer long if each individual would do his share in keeping them in order.” This remarkable book of 575 pages, voluminonsly illustrated and elegantly bound, has been issued by -‘The Thompson Publishing Company” of St. Louis, Mo., and is sold by subscription. We would advise our young friends who are out of employment to seek the agency and canvass for this book. It is certainly one of the most readable, entertaining and edifying volumes ^we have read in a long time. It was almost like re tracing our first trip around the vrorld, with less than one-thou sandth of the money and one hun dredth of the time required for our “first trip.” The great problems of civiliza tion, religion, philosophy, and gov ernment in Japan, China, the Phil ippines, India, as well as Europe, are presented in a clear light by a great brain. Mr. Bryan was accompanied on this trip by his wife and two younger children, William J., jr., and Grace, aged 16 and 14, respec tively. They started September 31, 1905, and reached home Septem ber 5, 1906, sixteen days less than one year. While most of the trip w’as in the North Temperate Zone, they were below the equator a few days in Java, and for awhile above the arctic circle in Norway. This book ought to be in every home where there are boys and girls with brains and promise. Get Trade by Advertising. The best way in which the merchants in the towns and smaller cities can fight the mail order houses is to adver- tii^e. They know* most of their'patrons personally, can show them the goods before they buy them, have many other advantages over the mail order house and in almost every instance can sell just as cheap if not cht'aper, remarks the TJuckej’e (Ohio) Informer. If the homo mcrcliant lacks foresight and is too penurious to properly adver tise his goods, why should the publish er exert himself to keep the trade at home for him? If solicitations on the part of the publisher fail to educate the merchant to the fact that he must advertise if ho wants to keep up wMth tlie procession, then nothing is left to the merchant but to learn in the school of experience, and if the teachings of that renowned school are of no effect on him then there is no place for him, and eventually his place in the com mercial world will be taken up by some more enterprising competitor. How Chicago Cleaned Up. Chicago’s general cleanup day this year, according to the reports, w^as a big success. The cleaning of the va cant lots of tlie city was assigned to the school children, and they went at the job W’ith vigor and enthusiasm. When school adjourned at 3:30 p. m. they were provided by the janitors of the various schools with the necessary tools, and within an hour the fruits of their labors were to be seen in huge piles of w’aste paper, tin cans, old shoes and miscellaneous refuse. Buying Frcm Pictures. If you were buying a horse, would you make your purchase after seeing a picture of the animal, or ^ould you insist upon seeing the horse? This sounds like a foolish question, but it has a point Many persons who think this question silly often buy goods be cause they have seen pictures of the goods in mail order house catalogues and have taken a fancy to them. It is just as sensible to buy a horse from seeing his picture. Economic Co-operation. A recent interesting development re ported by the shade tree commission of Plainfield, N. J., is its co-operation ■with the Charity Organization society, the commission having trees that are cut down or large dead limbs w’hich have been removed from trees taken to the vrood yard w’hich is maintained by the society, where their cutting up fur nishes w’ork for the unemployed. This is economic co-operation. Cures dizzy spells, tired feelings, stomach and liver troubles, keeps you well all summei*. That’s what Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea will do.

Ask your |{rocer* THE DEWEY BROS. CO., Millers, Blanehester, Ohio. Still, we do not regard Harry Thaw as a great thinker, even if he is not insane. “Negro *night riders’ have ap peared in Kentucky,” says the Nashville American. That being the case, we confidently expect to hear soon that the chicken crop has gone to join the disapearing tobacco crop. *‘An Alabama man says he once saw mules hopping about in the tree tops, just like squirrels,” says the Birmingham Age-Her- ald. That man ought to get some real good friend to strap him on to the water wagon so firmly lhat he could not fall off any more. Sore Nippies. Any mother who has had experi ence with this distressing ailment will be pleased to know that a cure may be efiected by appi^^ing: Cham berlain’s Salve as soon as the child is done nourishing. Wipe it off with a sot't cloth before allowing the babe to nurse. Mjiny trained nurses use this salve with best results. For Fale by O. L. Erwin, Rosnian, N. C. COMMISSIONER’S SALE.
