HO. g_ GLAZENER OFFERED COUNTY AGENT POST County Commissioners Make Contract With State For County Extension Work Position of county agent was of fered Julian A. Glazener, teacher of vocational agriculture at Brevard high school by the county commis sioners in meeting Tuesday after noon. Mr. Glazener took the offer i under consideration and will give the boai-d his answer within the next few weeks. In any event, Mr. Glazener stated at the meeting at which J. W. Good man, district agent for State Col lege was in consultation with the j commissioners, he would be unable to assume duties of the county | agent’s office before the first of May, as he c> old not afford to break into his program of wovk at Brevard high school where he has nearly sixty boys enrolled in agriculture classes. District Agent Goodman told the commissioners and a dozen or more representative farmers who attended • the meeting, that he wculd recom mend f r his department, either Mr. Glazener. W. D. Smith of Maywood county. Gerald Patton of Rutherford, nr G* White, all of whom had been asked for as agent by one or more pc pie interested in establish ment of county agent work here. Selection of an assistant county agent will he made, after a farm pro gram has been approved by a proper ly constituted county-wide organiza tion, Mr. Goodman said. This organi zation meeting will be held tn the county court house at 1 ;'t0 on Sat urday after mi; of next week, Feb ruary 16th. Mr. Glazener told the commis sioners that his hesitancy in accept ing the work was due in part to the fact that several people fyad told him that thev would like to have Gerald Patton of Rutherford county, and that knowing the work Mr. Patton had d. ne in Rutherford and the fine type of man he was, he would not t consider taking the work until after Mr. Patt n had been offered the place. However, he stated, it was not because of his lack of interest in farming and progress of the county, that he refrained from at once ac-; eepting the place offered him by the. board. Several of the farmers pres-; ent joined with the commissioners in, asking the district agent to give his, o. k. of Glazener for the job. and ’ Mr. Goodman stated that so far as. bo and his department was concerned,. they would prefer having the Bre-j vard man take the place. Salary of the county agent is set at $2,400 per year and travel ex pense. One-lnlf of the salary iS paid ; by the county, with the state paying | cne-half of the salary and ali the1 travel expense.

TWENTY BUILDINGS j HERE 50 YEARS AGO; _ i Two Stores and Two Boarding Houses—Wells Used For City Water Supply Fifty years ago Brevard was a, thriving city with a total of twenty residences, according to Frank Jen-' kins, and as a trading center boasted two mercantile establishments that carried most anything from horse slice nails to silk brocade and musi cal instruments. The hall of justice was a wooden affair located where the Macfie Drug store now stands, Mr. Jenkins says in his reminiscence of the “good obi days," the block where the Waltei1 mire is now located being a grove of | trees and shrubbery native to this, county. The water system for the town wii- a town well with an accommo-1 dating bucket that had only to be let: down into the well and drawn up in order to get a fresh drink of water. J Of course, most of the twenty resi-j dences had wells on the premises. For hotel accommodations there were the well known Gash House and the Henning Inn, both of which were noted for their hospitality of the real southern brand and the good food they served. No barrooms graced, or disgraced the town, as the case might have been, Mr. Jenkins remembers, and there were very few drunk people— partly due to the fact that the popu lation was less than it is now by quite a number, and the further fact that local option did not permit whis key to be sold within a certain dis tance of any regularly constituted church, hence the closest barroom was on the Greenville road about where the city limits now extend to, and the sidewalks were not nearly so nice as they now are. As best hi' memory serves him, Mr. Jenkins gives the following as the complete roster of dwelling houses: Robert Hume, B. C. Lankford, Louis Bell, John Allison, Joe Dock worth, Gaston Siniard, Lee Gash, Tom Gash, Alex England, Becky Jordan, Probe Poor. Clayton Gilles pie, Sam King, Meridy Cooper, Jerry T aiming. Dora West, Aiken place, Blythe Duckworth, Oliver Morgan and Tom Hampton. ^lumbing, Electric Co.
