LOCAL PARAGRAPHS.
Are yon ready to join the anti-
meat-eating crusade?
*Judge Shnford from Asheville
was in town last week.
There seems to be an epidemic of
colds and grippe among ns just now.
The Presbyterians gave their pas
tor a liberal pounding last Tuesday.
Mrs. T. S. Wood is visiting her
<Jaughter, Mrs. James Case in Ashe
ville.

interior of the new store room in
the King'buildifig to be occupied by
C. C. Yongue.
Jule McCall sold to John Hunter,
of Simpsonville, S. C., 11 head of
beef cattle this week that weighed
11,000 pounds.
We learn that C. A. Shuford is
quite ill at this time but we hope
that his recovery will be rapid and
that we will soon see him on the
streets again.
AVe think Asheville will be the
next southern town to join the anti
meat eating crusade, as good beef
cattle sold for 6 cts. gross there
last week, which was the highest
price over paid on that market.
It is time to begin plans for ad
vertising our town this summer.
Sixteen-cent cotton and national
prosperity ought to fill our hotels
and boarding houses with summer
tourists if their attention 4s only
called to the advantages of ota:
climate.
Dr. English, the attending physi
cian of Miss Marie Stradley who
suffered a severe attack of appen
dicitis last week while attending
school at the Brevard Institute,
says that she was removed to Dr.
Meriwether s private hospital in
Asheville^ and an operation wais
successfully performed last Stoday
at 2 p. m. At last reports she was
doing well.
A. K. Orr, formerly of our town
and now division freight agent
of the Southern railway^ with
headquarters at Asheville, says
that about 11,400 head of cattle
were shipjped over one division of
the Southern rairoad in Western
North Carolina last year, most of
them consigned to Virginia dealers.
This does not include those driVien
to the local markets. It seems that
Western North Carolina is fast
forgirg ,to the front as a cattle
raising section. - . .

We hear it rumored that the
Southern Power Company, in
which the Dukes of the American
Tobacco Company are said to be
interested, are contemplating the
development of the vast water
power near Lake Toxaway for the
purpose of furnishing power to run
the mills and light the towns of
upper South Carolina and othex*
points. It is sail it will require
about a million and a half dollars
to carry out the plans they have
under consideration.
THE MASS MEETING.
Wednesday night our people
gathered at the court house to
learn the pro and con of the pro
posed bond issues which have
been called by the Board of Al
dermen. While there were nojL
as many voters present as there
should have been, there were^
enough to demonstrate that our
people are interested and are wil
ling to learn*.
An idea suggested by J. L.
Bell deserves,more than passing
notice. It is that o|ir people
should^ave more mass meetings,
and literally, as * well as theoreti
cally, “get together.” If the
town hopes to develop 'into a
town progressive we must front
face, toqch elbows and fight to
win.
There is very little if any op
position to th^ issue of bonds for
the improveihent of our water
supply, but as to the electric
light proposition there is some
difference of opinion* The News
has always been in favor of mu
nicipal ownership of all public
utilities, and as the bonds could
not be sold or used for any other
purpose it would cost our tax
payers nothing unless they were'
used. In case they were sold
and applied to the construction
or purchase of a lighting system,
the rent of lights would pay in
terest on the bonds, so it would
cost the voters nothing in either
case, besides giving the town an
all night service.
The News will work and vote
‘•Ppr Bonds” on both proposi
tions. ^
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
As a'Matter of ’Econom‘y Shotild
. the School Be Maintained?
Let us subiiiit a few figures.
A nine inont|bis school would cost,
at^ the present rate of salaries,
$2,340; coal, janitor and inciden
tals. $260; total, $2,600. The av
erage rate of^tuition is $2 per
month. The average attendance
for five mouths just ended .is
more than 200. The tuition for
9 months would be $3,600. Thi^
would leave a~ balance of $1,0^.
which would p^y the interest on
the building, costing $10,000, and
leave a balance of $400 as a sink
ing fund, which wouldgpay off all
indebtedness in a few years. Do
these figure^*; naean anything?
Let the reader ponder well.
In addition to the above we
have a modern school building
with the best equipments and
classes all graded mu(ih'bettisi*
than could be found in ungraded
schools.
Then what is our duty? Should
we not rally to the support of the
committee and do what we can to
make our schools the best pos
sible?
THE WHiTMfRES IN TEXAS.
rii i
A recent copy ,of the Midland,
Texas, Examiner contains two
items which may interest some
of our readers:
Last Monday evening the wife of
M. W. Whitmire presented him
with two bquncing boys, one weigh
ing seven pounds and the other one
ten. The mother and the little
babes are doing well and Whitmire
is behaving himself- nicely under
the circumstances.
Last week Frank A. Smith and
Miss Alice . Whitmire joined their
hearts and fortunes and will tread
the pathway of life together. May
they ever be happy in each others
companionship and may life’s joys
and sorrows be mutually shared.
The parties mentioned above
are children of Mr. and Mr^. R.
T. Whitmire, formerly of this
county, and their many friends
here will be glad to hear from
them through the columns of the
News.

An Extraordinary
January Clearance Sale
Of Tailor-Made Suits, Goats, Dresses for Women and Cliiidren
A most successful suit season brings in its wake the entirely natural re
sults that the best selling lines, as they become depleted, leave a great many
incomplete assortments. By groupingjthese, all sixes are v found, of course
not all sizes in every model. As the season is too far advanced to fill in the
vac^cies, we have chosen the only course left to us and have made most
radical reductions to effect a prompt^learance.
Our entire fine line of High-Grade Tailored Suits is gathered in 3 dis
tinct groups, and offered at sacrifice prices. Be sure and visit our storo
when in Asheville and see these bargains.
