Funeral Service Held For All Men
Who Are Killed In Foreign Service
The Services Are About The
Same As Those Held
Here In United States
(Special To The Times)
ATLANTA, Ga., May 4—Except
when combat interferes, funeral
rites for American soldiers who
fall on foreign soil are approxi
mately the same, including mili
•tary honors, as those conducted
in the United States, Headquarters
Fourth Service Command has an
nounced.
A unit of the Graves Registra
tion service, which is under the
supervision of the Quartermaster
corps, operates closely behind the
combat area, burying the dead,
recording and marking the graves
and collecting personal effects.
When isolated graves are nec
essary, sketches and maps of the
location are made as a part of the
permanent record. When identifi
cation tags are lost, Graves Regis
tration officers make every effort
to establish the soldier’s identity
through personal papers, dental
work and fingerprints.
Complete records are kept of
all burials, including the name,
serial number, grade, organiza
tion, place and cause and date of
birth. When burial occurs in es
tablished cemeteries, the name of
the cemetery, row and plot num
ber are added to the permanent
record. When available the emer
gency address of the deceased is
included in the report along with
fingerprints and a list of personal
effects.
Personal effects collected on a
battle field are forwarded to the
Army Effects Bureau, Quarter
master Depot, Kansas City, Mo.,
where they may be obtained by
the decedent’s next of kin after
proper identification.
Householder—“Here, drop that
coat and clear out!”
Burglar—“You be quiet, or I’ll
wake your wife and give her this
letter I found in your pocket.”

(From the file of April, 1906)
Some of our citizens want dam
ages when the Town of Brevard
asks them to widen the streets in
front of their premises. Squire
and Mrs. E. T. Henning have set a
progressive and liberal example
by donating about 8 feet in front
of their lot on England street,
and 10 feet to the extension of
Jordan street through their prem
ises. Such liberality in adding to
the beauty of our town deserves
unstinted praise from all good
citizens.
Miss Wave Long has furnish
ed a room at E. R. Black’s resi
dence and will make her home
with Mrs. Black while she remains
in Brevard.
Wm. M. Henry is preparing to
build a residence this season, but
is just now waiting for brick.
Mrs. J. W. McMinn left last
week for a visit to her old home
in Summerville, S. C.
The Brevard Drug company will
have a new assistant today—For
est Workman by name. Call and
get acquainted.
It pays to advertise. We had
space for sale in our columns a
short time since, and we adver
tised it—it’s all taken now.
Leroy Ball went to Asheville
last week and took in the Gotch
Olson wrestling match.
Mrs. A. K. Orr, who has been
quite sick, is reported better.
Missed Grace Humphreys and
A. Huff, of Norfolk, Va., are visit
ing Mrs. W. J. Wallis.
Born last Friday to the T. L.
Snelson family a girl. One more
little one to be benefited by a free
graded school.
J. C. Whitmire, Jr., and wife
have returned to their home af
ter a visit with friends in Knox
ville, Tennessee.
Selica station is coming to the
front as a shipping point. We
learn that 300 cords of tanning
wood are now piled there waiting
cars.
W. E. Breese is on a short visit
in Waynesville. He hopes to in
terest Haywood democrats in the
justice of Transylvania’s claim
for the candidate in this senatorial
district. It would seem that after
a vacation of 20 years, no argu
ment would be necessary to es
tablish the right of this county to
a candidate.
A car load of seed potatoes
which arrived here last Sunday
for Mr. Doyle to distribute among
our farmers, were found badly
chilled and some of them frozen.
They were shipped in a refrig
erator ear and just how the frost
found its way in is a mystery. Mr.
Doyle thinks he will be able to
save and use half of the ship
ment, and in the meantime has
ordered another car.

nounces.
On several occasions Mr. Straus
has shown his interest in public
schools and the welfare of the
children of his employees. He is
supplying water to Pisgah Forest
school free of charge and the pa
rents, teachers, and children are
proud of a United States flag
which he purchased for that
school.

These Things And—

• Is your appliance connected? You’d be amazed how often a dis
connected extension cord is all that is wrong.
0 If one light is out, replace the bulb. If several, check the fuses.
Replacing a burned out fuse may be all that is necessary. If your
lights are out and those of your neighbors too, then call the ser
vice man.
• Oven wont heat properly? Be sure the oven heating units are
plugged in tightly. Are you sure you’ve turned on all switches
correctly? Is the switch on your automatic clock set properly?
• Table or floor lamp won’t burn? Maybe the extension cord is
worn or needs a new plug.
