Dangerous Proposition
BY CIRCULARS
Business firms who try to do
their advertising by circulars and
poster distribution arc running the
risk of being sued for damage,
causing accidents and probably get
ting someone killed.
Young chap here last Saturday
came near losing his life when he
took off in an airplane to distribute
hand bills. His plane crashed, his
hand bills tcere scattered about on
the ground in the woods, and the
damage to personal property must
have amounted to sir or seven hun
dred dollars, to say nothing of the
severe injuries to the young won.
The Times goes into most EVERY
home in the county, and people
pay for it year after year because
they want to read it. We suggest
'that columns of The Times be used
to get the best possible distribution
of sales messages, and at the same
time save money.

MANY BREVARD DOGS
Dangerous Methods Are Used
By Poison Crew Here
Last of Week
The Night Riders were in Brevard
Friday night of last week, and left In
their wake a lot of irate adults, and
a number of sad-faced children.
Reason for the sad children and the
angry old folk was the fact that 15
to 20 dogs were poisoned during the
night, and those that did not die during
the night, succumbed ^he next day.
The city sanitary department was
checking up Tuesday, finding an extra
dead dog here and there, and on the
outlook for others. There is no way of
knowing Just exactly how many dogs
died from effects of the poison, but
there were enough threats made Sat
urday by owners of dogs that bad been
contacted by the poisoners to have slain
an army, had the threats all been made
good.
Method used for poisoning the dogs
was to take a welner (hot dog) and
place a small amount of strychnine in
It, and toss It where a dog would be
most apt to And It Seme of th* extra.
weiners tiiat' were not eaten by flogs
Friday night were examined Saturday
morning by Dr. E. S. English who said
that the poison used was strychnine.
Some of the dogs killed were valu
able, while others were of more or less
nondescript types. Chief of Police Free
man said Wednesday that he was work
ing on the case, but that he had no
evidence so far which would pin the
blame on any partioater party.
Water Rent Question
Gives Board Headache

is due to be paid “on or before the tenth
of the month” in advance.
A full time man is to be employed,
given a cut-off wrench, and a list of
delinquent water consumers, and told
to get the money.
County Tax List To
Be Advertised 12th
At the meeting of the board of com
missioners Monday the delinquent tax
list for 1936 was ordered published, and
the property sold on the first Monday
In September.

the list of delinquents over to the news
paper Thursday for publication, and
any taxes which have not been paid by
Monday night of next week will be ad
vertised.
Publication of the town of Brevard
list will be made on August 19, and sold
