The cottage was complete in detail as to structure and furnish ings. Golf Course Will Be Deciding Factor In Successful Season With every indication that Brevard and the surrounding sections have the greatest tourist, season in years "just, around the corner," the matter of golf course facilities looms as one of the big factors in providing entertainment that will keep the visitors here once they have been induced to come. The course is in exceptionally good shape, considering the severe winter that has been gone through, and in fact, the course is now in far better condi tion than It has been in several springs, ilue in large part to the fact that con siderable work was done on the course early last summer, and very little use was made of it on account of the un warranted newspaper publicity that was (mis) given this section of the state. Conservative estimates on recondi tioning the course and operating It this year give a very nominal figure, and it is believed that the greens fees from visitors this summer will by far exceed the cash layout, to soy nothing of the added prestige the course will give the community.
