Hamilton was sworn in as oflicer
of the jury.
Since the organization of the
recorder's court in this connty the
criminal uockt't of the Snperior
court has n(‘V(>r been so large as
formerly, and in view of the fact
that in nearly every appeal from
the recorder the sentence pro

OBITUARY
On Thursday morning, April 9.
at 8:30 oclock, Mrs. W. P. Whit
mire died at her residence in Hen
dersonville, whither she had moved
a little over a year ago. She had
been in ill health for several
months, but not until recently did
her illne.ss become alarming.
Surviving her is a husband and
five children, and a host of sorrow
ing friends. Fdr those who knew
the d(*ad knew her but to love her,
and those who bad the pleasure of
an intimate ac(juaintance will al
ways remember her sweet, gentle
and lovabU^ nature. And truly in
dicative of a recognition of Ihose
charact(‘ristics by her friends in
Hrevard and Hender.sonville was
the beautiful and lavish floral offer
ings laid ujion and around her hier.
She slept in the midst of beautiful
flowi*rs—things she aUvays loved.
Mrs. Whitmire was a life-long
and consistent member of the
church, and lived true to her faith.
Her nature and disposition was of
a quiet, unobtrusive, dignified, and
her whole life was lllled with gen
tle and self-sacrificing ministra
tions. Her heart was as !)ig as tlu^
univt*r.se, and no a])])cal was (ner
made to her for sym])athy that was
not granted. She was always hap]»y
i:i dt)ing something for the ]>l»*as-
ure and comfort of otlu*rs. She
went about doing good, and her
“gt)o(l woi ks do tollow her.”
Hi*r devotion to her husband and
children wa- snin'enu ly iiiiseliish.
And the hours of the night n« vt'r

A MESSAGE TO BOYS
I wish to send this message not
only to Boy Scouts, but to all the
boys of America. The prime le.sson
that the Boy Sc’out movement is
teaching is the lesson that manli-
ne.ss in its most vigorous form can
be and ought to be accompanied by
unselfish consideration for the
1
I rights and interests of others.
Indeed, I can go a little further.
I wish I ci'uld make the especial
appeal to the American boy to re
member that unless he thinks of
others ho cannot fit himself to do
the best work in any great emer-
gency.
REYNOLDS ON THE ROAD
The editor of the News happened
to be in Andrews last Saturday
night, and as Robert R. Reynolds,
candidate for congress, was sched
uled to make a speech at the
graded school auditorium we de
cided to hear it.
Reynolds is now on a horseback
campaign that will carry him
through the entire district, having
reached Andrews, in Cherokee
county, last Saturday. According
to his statement he had stopjied at
every house between Asheville and
Andrews.
About one hundred and fifty or
two hundred voters and a large
number of ladies wore present at
the speaking in Andrews, and every
one listened with the closest atten
tion.
The speech took the nature of a
friendly talk, Mr. Reynolds saj’ing
he wished to en^er into an agree-

FROM BROTHER OWEN
Erlitor Sylvan Valley News:
After a month in Alabama I amr
now in Tullahcma, cm my way ta
Doyle, Tenn., where I plan to be in
a meeting for the next two weeks.
It is a great privilege to bo en
gaged in this work with our schools..
During the last month thirty-
bright young men and women hav<f
declared their intention to Ix^come
home and foreign missionaries.
In Alabama I have been at
Bridgeport and Pisgah. The latter
place is more like Western North
Carolina than any other place I
have visited in that state. It is a
high, mountainous jdace with purt>
air and good water. I met there
several people from the Old North
State. They think they have tho
best place in which a farmer can
make a good living to be found
anywhere. Land there can be.
bought now for alxmt one tenth
the price for such land in W'esterr.
North Carolina. But a railroad is.
being surveyed th»’ough this terri
tory, and so conditions will soon
be changed.
Our schools at both th(!se ])laci‘.-t
are doing well. In thejii arc; sonn^
