His pai'ents were of good English stock, and from them he inherited those sterling qualities -that have made that stock famous the world over. He love^ fair play, was up right in all his dealings, loyal to duty, no matter where he heard its call, or to what servico it bid him, a courageous spirit who, having put his hand to the plough, would never look back. Tho reply of Cobden, w’hose faithful follower he \ras, might have been his own. When told that a cfertain thing was imijossible, the great commoner replied, “Well, if that is all there is the matter with it the sooner we get at it the better.” Mr. Jenkins was educated at a private school in his native town, and at the ago of sixteen took up the ooc-npalion of a corn merchant.

Little Joe Ten years of happy wedded happy life they s^jmnt together in Merrie England. children were born to them, four sons and two daugh ters, and with these—the oldest nine, years and the young^t but fourteen months—they left tho old land in the early summer of 1872 a new home in the new land be yond the sea. They arrived at Raleigh, N. C., in June of that year, moved to Chapol Hill in July and to Ashe ville in November, finally settling at “Bevere,” the former summer home of the Gadsnns, on the French Broad, about three miles from Bre vard, in April, 1873, where Mr. Jenkins took up the life of a farmer and carried it on with varying suc cess until he moved to Brevard a few years ago to si)end his last days in the quiet of his home, where he might always be found, busy with his plants and flowers, a happy worker and a genial host. Mr. Jenkins was a member of the Church of England, and when he came to this country he at once identified himself with tho daugh ter church of America, and served faithfully, first as lay reader at St. Paul’s in the Valley, and then at St. Philips, Brevard, of which he was one of the oldest members, having been with it from the be ginning. Faithful in his attendance until growing infirmity kept him at home, always guided by principle and not expediency, controlled by duty and not by feeling, ready to give or to do as duty called him, never failing in offering or service, when asked for either, he led an upright, consistent Christian life and finally fell asleep, having the testimony of a good conscience, in communion of the church, in the confidence of a certain faith, in the comfort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope in favor w’ith God and in i>eace with man. Nine children were born to him and his devoted w’ife, six of whom survive him with the faithful part ner of his joys and sorrows, four sons and two daughters. ' * A man of wide reading and well informed mind; of strong convic tions and having the courage of them; a good neighbor, a faithful friend, a devoted husband, an hum ble conscientious Christian, he lived among us and now he sleeps. God rest him in His love and care. In loving remembranoe his pas tor, CHALMKR3 D. CHAPMAN. Capt. H. E. Raines, who was in Brevard several weeks ago looking for a sit3 for the location of a sum mer camp for toys, was in Brevard last Monday for the purpose of in specting the various sites shown him on his former visit in a more thorough manner. Captain Raines was accompanied by Mr. S- H. t-^oben, manager of thq Greater Western North Carolina Associa tion. Thes’e gentlemen were takeU by a number of members of the Brevard Clnb to tho various sites offered for the camp, and made a thorqn^*'inspection of the csites. Whilo the local comr.ilktce was very anxious to secure the livomise of the captain that his camp would bo located in this county, ho an nounced that no definite decision would be made until he rettrned to Charleston and had a consulta tion v.'ith his associates. The business men of Brevard fully appreciate the iinportance of securing this caniii for this county, not onl}’’ from a financial point of view, but from the ad vertising value as vrell. In a state- inent to the Xews Colonel Cohen oxpressed his belief that ll.is canix) would I'o \ror1h more to tlio com munity in whi'jh it is lorut( '1 than the Florida colony re<-entfy located at Hillgirt. While Captain Ruines is very much interested in several .«;ites near ^-cvard no proposition was made to him while he was here Monday, but within the next few days, or as soon as the prices of the several sites under considera tion can be ascertained, a proposi tion will be forwarded to him. It is the intention of Captain Raines and his associates to decide w’ithin the next few weeks on a lo cation and have work start imme diately thereafter so as to have everything in readiness for the oi>ehing next June. \Vhiie in Brevard Captain Raines spoke in the warmest terms of tho spirit of co-oi)eration shown by the Brevard business men, and com mended their action in organizinjr the Brevai'd Club, stating that with the progressive spirit shown and the organization of the hustlers ot the town great good would result. Captain Raines and Colonel Cohen left Brevard Monday afternoon, the former for his home in Charles ton, and the latter for Asheville. In the meantime citizens of Bre,- vard are awaiting anxiously for a decision as to the jiermanent loca tion of the camp, come our way. hoping it will ROSMAN ITEMS D. W. Snijies and wife have re turned from their honeymoon in Jackso^ county. They contemplate making Rosman their home. Rev. J. N. Lee delivered an ex cellent sermon at Zion Sunday afternoon. .Rev. C. M.
