Well, sir, she is now back home again, happily re-united with her former hunting mate, and from all reports it would be hard to say which is happier over the reunion, the two dogs or their master. Af ter all what is a hundred dollars to a coon hunter when he hankers for the chase or the music at the roots of a big hemlock? I say give him the dog any old day. Here’s another tale that will mean something to every dog lov er who chances to read these lines: The writer knows two fellows who gave vent to their love for hazard ous mountain climbing one day j last week, by tackling the precipi-' tous western face of Mt. Satulah, I near Highlands, N. Car. It was at j one of those places, where, for the first a few yards up, the clim ber is afforded narrow finger and I toe holds. This is scaled with com parative ease, and the mountaineer is beguiled into thinking that the ascent is not going to be difficult, —just so he doesn’t lose his bal ance or nerve! But what is a fellow going to do after reaching a height of some thirty feet from the base of the cliff he has attempted, if he dis covers that there are no further finger and toe holds to assist him upward, and that the way over which he has come is so steep, when viewed from above, as to make going down again out of the question? Those who have had some experience in this foolhardy sport will tell you that it is gen erally easier to climb upward than to descend. That is what the two men in our story believed and now attempted, though each yard of the upward way became more and more difficult. And when some tiny niche afforded a breath ing spell, the footing was so pre carious as to make the moment’s pause a torment to the tense mus cles of arms and legs. Men will live through seeming eternities in moments like that. Their throats will become dry and their lips parched; while a distinct feeling of emptiness will assail their stomachs. And in such ex periences men will pray, unless they are infidels indeed. Nor is it because they are scared out of their wits. To become frightened on the face of a granite wall, half way up, and some two hundred feet below, is to invite disaster. But all the same that rapid beating of the heart, and those short, gasping breaths are not occasion ed altogether by the exertion! By now some gentle reader is wondering what all this descrip tion has to do with the dog story I was going to tell. Well, sir, it so happened that the above gam ble, betwixt gaining the summit of the cliff or being dashed to certain death at its base, took place just a few minutes after three o’clock in the afternoon. At precisely the same time a dog at the home of one of the aforemen tioned men walked out into the yard, and with her sensitive nose pointed toward the summit of the afore-mentioned Mt Satulah, emit ted several, long-drawn and dismal howls. Attracted by her commotion the other members of the family rush ed outside, but were unable to quiet the distressed dog. She con tinued to move about, generally gazing toward the mountain, until her master’s return in the early twilight. Whereupon, she became very much alive, and was more profuse in her gestures of wel come than any other member of the household! Incidentally this dog is a thorough-bred white col lie, named “DIXIE DOODLE,” and belonging to the writer, who GLANCING BACK AT BREVARD Taken from the files of The Sylvan Valley News, beginning 1895. (From the file of Sept. 1906) The fall term of Brevard Insti tute began on Wednesday with a large attendance of boarding stu dents and town students. About 75 were present for the opening day. Besides Prof, and Mrs. Bishop, the following teachers were pres ent: Prof. Tyler, Misses Davis, Taulbee, Miller, Harris, King and Barre. The school was formally opened with a short speech by Rev. R. g. Tuttle, pastor of the Methodist church here, followed by a short talk by T. H. Galloway. The main address was by Mrs. T. F. Marr, one of the leading offici als of the Women’s Missionary society of the WNC conference. T. W. Whitmire has bought j from the heirs of M. D. Cooper the beautiful hotel site known as Mt. Surprise. Edmund Breese is at home to spend two weeks vacation. He is working for the Southern railway at Spencer and has a good posi tion. Mrs. Martha E. Cooper has bought through the Brevard Real Estate Co. one-half acre lot on Depot street, adjoining Z. V. Bur rell’s property. There’s a new electric light in town—have you noticed it? Lee Bishop, of the electric light plant, found a brand new baby boy at his house Wednesday morning. W. W. Zachary, Esq., and A. L. Hardin returned yesterday from a surveying trip to the upper end of hereby gives fair warning that no paltry sum of one hundred dollars would buy this super-sensitive and sympathetic lady dog, that stayed at home and howled, as her mas ter felt like doing over yonder on the face of that granite cliff! As for the rest of the story,— how we finally reached the sum mit, and there paused to thank,— not our lucky stars, but our heav enly Father, reverently, for His care and protection,—well, there is really not space left us to des cribe in detail those last treacher ous yards of climbing, and the mo ments that dragged by like hours. Besides, friends, what we have told about this experience has brought back that feeling of emp tiness; and here at the desk, in the safety and seclusion of our study, we are dreadfully frighten ed! Anyway, in this instance it was not what we did and how but what the dog did that made the story worth telling. Here’s another little story to get your minds off the above: Two other fellows, also of High lands, N. C., were enroute there from, recently, to the fertile bot tom lands along Chattooga river, in the vicinity of Russel’s, on the highway leading to Walhalla, S. C. Their mission was to gather a bumper corn crop which they had cultivated there last summer. What motive they had in carrying a shotgun along in their truck, we do not know. And why they didn’t think to use it when a deer ran across the road near the top of Pine Mountain, Georgia, is an other mystery. One of these men, upon being asked for an explana tion, modestly stated that he com pletely forgot having the gun along. Well, well. We’ve often heard about men taking “buck fever” on the hunt, and forgetting to shoot, but this has all the ear marks of buck fever in a truck, which must be simply awful!

Mr. Chapman and his mother left Monday for Washing ton, where Mrs. Chapman will visit her son. Mr. Chapman Mil be away about six weeks and will take a much needed vacation. The Brevard Real Estate Com pany sold this week a half acre lot of Mrs. B. W. Hamlin to F. E. B. Jenkins; also a house and lot on Whitmire street belonging to Mrs. Martha E. Cooper to H. G. Mackey. The Board of Education have at last condescended to try and explain why they did not consult the people whose money they are spending before they let the con tract to build a school house. As their article seems to be a person al attack on The News for daring to point out their manifest duty, we shall devote a little space next week to answering their attack. T. L. Snelson and family have gone to Buncombe county to visit relatives this week. The Duckworth Realty Co. has sold the Wentworth lot on Broad street to P. B. Jones, of Nashville, Tenn. Now, if Mr. Jones will build on his lot, the town will be bet tered by the purchase. Mrs. Chas. E. Orr made a hur ried trip to Asheville on Tuesday, and on her return she had the mis fortune to lose her pocketbook containing nearly five dollars, and also her railroad mileage book, which was not half used up.
