December term of superior

before Judge H. Hoyle Sink for

ACCUSED BY WHITMIRE
'I'he Petits were accused by
Louie Whitmire of implication in
tho slaying of Masters shortly
after Whitmire was arrested last
month in connection with burg

at ’Rosman. In 1926, after Mas

clump of woods in a bad state of

cliarged with the killing. He

ROSMAN READY
FOR BUSINESS
Do your Christmas shopping
early but be sure you do it in
Brevard and Transylvania coun
ty. By so doing you not only
help your home town merchant
and your community, but your
own self as well.
It has been estimated that
several thousands of dollars are
.spent outside of Brevard and
Transylvania county every
month in the year. In the month
of December this amount has
been at least doubled, if'’not
trebled in some instances, in
years gone by by residents of
this town and county who mo
tor to nearby communities to
do a large portion of their
trading instead of buying of
their home merchants.
Many of Brevard’s merchants
are already putting their holi
day goods on display or are in
readiness to do so. An exam
ination will convince the most
fastidious shopper that this
merchandise, as a rule, will
measure up to that obtainable
elsewhere. The prices, too, are
in accordance with those paid
elsewhere.
Keep your dollars at home.
Every dollar spent in this town
and county helps' the man or
woman with whom it was spent,
helps eil-her directly or indirect
ly tho town and county and
surely helps the person spend
ing it for he or she reaps the
benefit of any improvements
made in the community in
which they live.
A dollar spent out of town
is one hundred pennies gone
forever. When you pull that
dollar out of your pocketbook
and spend it some place other
than in Brevard or Transyl
vania county, you may bid that
dollar farewell. It’s gone for
ever, and ever.
Home stores employ home
people. These clerks or em
ployes are paid salaries and
the.se amounts are put back into
cii’culation in the home com
munity each week, two weeks
or each month, as the case may
It has been said that people
of thi.s community trade much
in neighboring towns and com
munities because they enjoy
driving to and from those
places. Others have argued
that holiday merchandise was
not put on display eai’ly enough
in Brevard and Transylvania
county this year, other places
, liaving had it in their display
windows for the last several
weeks. No necessity in depriv
ing anyone of a drive to a
jieighboring point but let Mr.
or Mrs. Average Transylvania
Citizen do their shopping at
home before they set out on
their motor trip.
Trading away from home
cannot possibly help build
schools for those darling little
kiddies of yours and mine to
attend. Who makes it possible

to education to rear their heads
