T. S. Boswell has been visiting
his old home here this week. At
present he is in the employ of
the Southern railway as civil en
gineer.
Charlie and Amos Reed, of Pitts
burgh, Pa., are stopping at the
home of M. J. Orr.
It is the right time now to pre
pare for planting a bed of flowers
next month. Every occupied lot in
Brevard that fronts a street should
have a bed or row of flowers
where it will be seen by our sum
mer visitors.
Well, after the struggles made
by the News office three years
ago to light its plant by electri
city, it is a pleasure to announce
that its electric lights are now
burning brightly. The current

. Quite a serious runaway occur
red last Friday, causing very pain
ful injuries to Miss Hockett, the
music teacher at the Industrial
school. She was thrown from the
buggy and alighted on her head,
bruising her face and shoulder
severely. No bones were broken,
and we learn that she is recover
ing rapidly.
We learn that the Brevard Light
and Power company contemplate
the immediate improvement of
their water power on Little River.
The work already in sight con
vinces them that they will have
in the near future more calls for
light than their present power will
supply. This speaks well for the
enterprise of Brevard people.
The ladies of the Brevard Bap
tist church will serve meals dur
ing court week, and on Wednesday
night will serve oysters at the
Aethelwold building next to the
hotel office.
The Brevard Laundry has open
ed for the summer in the Light
and Power plant near the depot,
which will furnish power. H. B.
Brunot will attend to the financial
end of the business, and A. T.
Bowen will have charge of the
work.

weeks since, is getting on nicely.

A triple by Ernest Banner, Bre

bases loaded in the first inning
carried his teammates to a 412 win
over the Asheville Farm school
last Saturday afternoon in a base
ball game played on the Brevard

Rupert Norfleet pitched three

ed its third straight game of the
year. The Tornado team got to
Banks, Farm School pitcher for
seven hits-and made two errors.
Banner’s three-base drive was
the only extra base hit of the game
that saw all of the scoring packed
into the first inning. Bill Swan,
Brevard right fielder, topped the
hitting for both teams with two
singles.
The game was a part of the
May day program being held at
the college and was witnessed by
several hundred towns-people and
students.
The two teams will meet again
in two weeks on the Asheville
Farm school diamond.

the greatest possible amount of

his objective with conspicuous
success,” a notice to this paper
states. “We feel that your com
munity is to be congratulated on
the fine contribution of farmers

is today putting service ahead of
sales.”

HYMN FOR THOSE
WHO FLY
(J. J. Willard—In Duke Power
Magazine)
We pray Thee, Lord, Thou who
art wise.
Be Thou our fliers’ guide;
Keep steady, Lord, their ships that
rise,
And pilot them across the skies;
With them, O Lord, abide.
Direct them as they wing their
flight;
Protect them, Lord, we pray;
Let them not wander from Thy
sight,
But through the darkness of the
night,
Go with them all the way.
If storm and strife they must en
dure,
Surround them with Thy care;
Be near and make their safety
sure,
Defend them, Lord, and keep
secure
Our fliers in the air.
We pray Thee, Lord, Thou art
on high, t
Sustain our men who dare;
Give strength to them who for
us fly,
And follow them with Thine own
eye;
Hear, Lord, for them our pray’r.
