POINTS OF OUR PROGRESS.
We are d.t full sail again on a
sea of progress and prosperity.
Building is going on at a rapid
pace in town and county. Land
values ^re steadily increasing
and those who care to invest in
Southern real estate will never
find it any cheaper than at this
time. In our town preparations
are being made to take <;are of
the heavy travel that is expected
this summer. N^w boarding
houses are being built and old
ones overhauled and enlarged.
Bonds have been voted and sold
for the improvement of our wa-
t^r system. Water and sewer
lines are being extended. * The
streets are being improved and
cleaned. The means for keeping
our town clean aad sanitary are
well organized and all efforts are
being directed toward making
^ur town clean and attractive.
The court house grounds have
been improved and beautified. A
fountain with gold fish ai:^d moun
tain trout adorns the court
square.
New interest has .been infused
into the farming element of our
county. We have a recently or
ganized Agricultural Association.
The farmers are zealously enter
ing the corn contest and more
money has been paid by our mer-
€hants and business men for corn
prizes this year than Buncombe
county has paid, and there are
signs on every side of a general
agricultural awakening, and
when our farmers become arous
ed and realize what opportunities
they have the county and town
must grow, for they are the basis
of all industries.
New telephone lines are being
built and extended—in fact our
county is almost a net work of
telephone lines, and local tele
phone system is being daily im
proved,-and long distance phones
are installed in town.
We have a modern postoffice
with an increasing business; one
of the best banks in the state with
every branch* of its business
growing day by day. The pbst
office and bank are the best index
to t^e progress of any town and
county. Unlimited water-
powers are beihg harnessed and
made to do their part toward de
veloping and building up the
country. • Pow^r plants have
been and are being built to fur-
nisli power to light our towns
aad run our factories."
We have an actfve and rapidly
^toning Baildiog aad I^aAs-
sociation that iS doing more t6
build up the town than any other
enterprise in which our people
have ever been interested. We
have good railroad and telegraph
facilitiesr, churches, schools’, and
in fact everything that goes to
make a clean, attractive an4 pros
perous town and county.
With these many advantages
we conMently ask strangers to
come and look at Brevard, be
lieving that a personal investiga
tion is all that is needed to inter
est the capitalist and the home-
seeker. . There are larger towns
than Brevard but there are none
that can offer a better field for
investments.
. * ♦
•
The News has ever been in
favor of wider streets. No mat
ter whether the town grows as a
business center or not* it is bound
to grow as a residence town. The
loctjition of Brevard is too ideal
for it to long remain the village
it now is, and as, a residence
town it should have wide streets
—no street less than 60 feet.
/
All of the older cities of this
country made the same mistake
that Brevard has made—their
streets were too narrow. In all
modern suburbs this error has
been eliminated. No town
is now “laid out” with streets
less than 100 feet wide.
This doesn’t mean that the town
must pave and keep in repair
100 feet of roadway, but there
must be on each side room for
sidewalk, a row of shade tr^es
and parkage to be kept in trim
by the property owner whose
lot it fronts. A 60-foot street
can l^e made attractive with 30
feet of driveway and 15 feet on
each side for walks and parkage,
but no street in Brevard should
be less than 60 feet wide.
• »
Peed and protect the wild
birds. All* about us this spring
weather are thousands of bird
babies. Every apple and pear
tree, every shade tree is a nur
sery; the vine on our porch, the
barn eaves, the grass in the
meadow, each has its hidden
nestful. Their mission is one
not only of joy and music but of
economic value. Blessings on
the bird babies! The farmer who
doesn’t protect and defend the
native wild birds is failing in his
duty to one of his most efficient
friends and helpers.
* *
GOOD ADVERTISING.
A Georgia newspaper threat
ened to publish the name of the
young man seen with his sweet-
heart’s head on his shoulder if he
didn’t come across with a dollar
on subscription. Twenty-seven
felloes slipped in and paid the
dollar. Fourteen telephoned the
subscription man to come around
and get it, and the editor received
three letters from nearby coun
try districts saying they would
call in and settle the next time
thej were in town.

Two days moi^e in which to
pay poll tax if^irpiT" would vote
next November. On account of
May 1st being Sunday, Attorney
General Bickett rules that it may
be paid Monday, but this ruling
is not strictly in compliance with
the law, and it is best to be on
the safe side. Pay your poll tax
today or tomorrow without fail.
* * •
That sample of weather which
the^wild, wooly and windy “Great
Northwest” sent us last Monday
is not very highly appreciated in
the Sunny South. Two feet of
snow had fallen in some north
western sections, and a good
start was made here to duplicate
the record. For two hours, be
ginning about half-past seven,
the snow fell “in torrents.” If
this was due in any way to the
tail of Hailey’s come^^its nucleus
must be an iceberg.

It is rumored ^here, as an out
growth of the several i?ecord
searchings whtfch have taken
place in Brevard this winter,
that the Toxaway Company prop
erty is about to change owner
ship—the Dukes being the pur
chasers. There are a great
many suppositions as to what
improvements are contemplated,
but until the promoters are ready
for publicity and will take the
public into their confidence, all
reports are nothing but surmises.
Beef from Australia pays
freight and tariff and sells from
three to six cents cheaper than
American beef in the Mew York
market, and it is said that it is a
better quality of beef than that
furnished by the' beef barons of
Chicasfo.
