Tins October 7th, 1813. W. M Henry, Mayor. C. C. Kilpatrick, Clerk. Mr. Paul Smathers has purchased the Royal Cafe, taking charge Wednesday morning. It is the ob ject of the new owner to make sev eral improvements in the place and conduct a first class lunch room. Chronic Dyspepsia. The following unsolicited testi monial should certainly be suffi cient to give hope and courage to persons afflicted with chronic dys pepsia : “I have been a chronic dys- I>eptic for years, and of all the medi cine I have taken, Chamberlain’s Tablets have done me more good than anything else,” says W. G. Mattison, No. 7 Sherman street, Hornellsville, N. Y. For sale by statt'd to the bc'ard that taere should be sufficient hose in tht- fire house to take all wet hose fronV the wagon when returning from a lire and replace it with dry hc.'-ei in order to allow the wet ho.se* time to dry. No action was taken. Mr. F. E. B. Jenkins appeared be fore the board and asked that a sewer line be built from Broad street np to his property. After considerable discussion tnis matter was referred to the sewer commit tee. It was ordered by the board that a four-inch water main be laid on Main street from the “Franklin Ho tel as far as the paving was to ex tend. This work is to be done im mediately. The bond of C. C. Kilpatrick as tax collector was approved by the board and the tax books w^ere turned over to him. The amount of the bond was $2,000 and was given by an indemnity company. The matter of the election of a ])oliceman was then taken up, it being after twelve o’clock at that time. The various applicants were named and the merits of the men discussed. The following applica tions were before the board: Lee Ledbetter, D. R. Holliday, T. B. Snmmey and W. W. Singleton. The voting done by secret ballot, the first ballot resulting as follows: Holliday 1, Summey 2, Singleton 2. The second ballot was prepared im mediately and resulted as follows: Snmmey 2, Singleton 3. Mr. Sin gleton was dechired elected. The good roads proclamation by Governor Craig was discussed by the board, and the mayor was au thorized to issue a proclamation calling on all citizens of the town to work on the rOads on the two days specified. The mayor’s procla mation will be found in this issue, in connection with the county commissioners’ proclamation. The usual amount of bills came up for approval, but the board ex hibited some curiosity as to sev eral items and asked for further light on a few matters. Shortly befora one o’clock Tues day morning the board adjourned, haying finished all business before teen weeks conserutively. The law provides tliat if any teacher fails to comply with the provisions of the act. five dollars shall be dediTCted from the monthly salary of the teacher before the voucher can be approved bv the county superintendent. It isf to be hoped that all teach ers, attendance officers and school patrons will carefully study the at tendance law, and that no viola tions of it will oci^’ur’. LY6EUM COURSE s. M. Macfie. adv it. Now that the summer season is over and Brevard has some time to think of herself instead of devoting all her time to the entertiiinmcnt of her guests, the lyceum commit tee is again calling attention to the opportunity for securing the gen eral culture and touch with the w’orld of etluoation which all towns are now getting by means of lyceum courses or chautauquas. Brevard is hardly able yet to man age a Chautauqua, but it is abun dantly able to i)atronize liberally a good lyceum course, and is ever ready to support those who are willing to take the lead in such an enterprise. The course this year is one of especial merit, containing an excel lent male quartette,^jcompany of specialty artists, a talented musi cian, and two entertainments pro vided by the best of our local tal ent. If any profit is made on the course it "will not be retained for any succeeding course, but will bo divided between the local organiza tions which assist.. Brevard is amply able to pay for its educationj,il entertainment, and each year’s course should stand by itself on its own merits and value to the community. At the same time, nearly every one in the town wishes to help in some way those organizations which are striving to advance the .-culture of the commu nity, and this provides a simple piethod of aiding in both ways by the exi>enditure of a i,mall sum of money which brings' to the inves tor himself a large personal return tor his4nvestment. Canvassers representing the local organizations will soon visit every home as nearly as possible, and they will undoubtedly meet a ooy- dial and responsive reception, for the work they are doing is of in terest to every citizen.
