' Perhaps the local business man
who said that the weather man
had his seasons turned around was
right. At any rate, as we walked
around town over the week-end
we noticed that almost all Bre
vardians had discarded winter togs
for a while and pulled out spring
outfits.
Creating a colorful scene was
the window shopper we noticed
looking at the light blue suit in
Patterson’s. The gazer had on a
bright red spring coat, and red
and blue always were two of our
favorite colors.
In military circles one often
hears a discussion of what the
orders of the day regarding dress
will be. Around in Transylvania
lately, according to what the
men have been wearing, their
orders of the day as issued by
the weather man are sleeveless
sweaters or just shirts with the
sleeves fixed lazy man’s roll.
When we first came on the
scene in Brevard a month ago
snow greeted us. Along with it we
noticed that all store doors were
watched with careful eyes (one
person even remarking that she
never had believed in heating the
streets) but recently we realized
that one could walk into almost
any store in Brevard without hav
ing to take the trouble to open a
door.
Also trying to convince them
selves that spring is on its way
are the victory gardeners who’ve
been getting their plots all ready
to plant early gardens. Maybe the
gardening fever is contagious be
cause up on the Rosman highway
everybody, practically, has been
getting their gardens ready.
Just to prove that she was
going to stay in season whether
the weather did or not, Martha
Beasley, from out at the college,
VP tat 666
fH TMHCTIl $/Wf HMf PftftPf
was rambling around town in a
red accordian pleated skirt and
wool plaid shirt
People always say that one
can lean back on the weather to
write or talk about when there
is nothing else to say. To prove
that we’re not using the subject
for that reason but because it
has taken an unusual turn for
this time of the year, we’ll dis
cuss something else.
Striking us as being unusually
nice is the reception-waiting room
at the Brevard shoe shop. The red
leather-upholstered chairs and the
long table supplied with magazines
is an attraction along the shoe
shop line.
Another thing that we’ve found
around Brevard that is a rare item
these days is the prompt and cheap
taxi service furnished by Martins.
We once saw a taxi company’s
slogan “Call Sanders and count
the minutes.” That fits the situa
tion here too.
Found an ice cream shortage in
Brevard last week and at exactly
the time we were determined to
have ice cream! Finally compro
mised by having a milk shake at
Ford’s Corner—it was good, prov
ing that John, Jr., knows how to
fix ’em up right.
Of course, we all know there
is a candy shortage these days,
but then the A & P has been
having some good chocolate cov
ered nuts and peanut butter
squares. Even they have gotten
scarce, however.
We’ve had a great deal of ex
perience lately reading upside
down trying to check type on
stories before a galley proof is
drawn, but even the ole experi
enced eye had a work-out trying
to figure out the sticker we’ve
been seeing on a car around town.
Because its shape was so much like
The Citadel stickers we naturally
were interested. (All South Caro
lianians are interested in their i
West Point of the South!) After)
a closer look we discovered that
it was a Citadel sticker indeed—
just put on backwards.

FARM QUESTIONS |
QUESTION: Does it pay to fer-j
tilize sericea lespedeza?
ANSWER: Tests on a Cecil loam
soil at the Piedmont Branch Sta
tion at Statesville have shown an
average yield of 1.56 tons of hay
without fertilizer and 2.04 tons
with 50 pounds of superphosphate
per acre. Where 2 tons of lime
per acre were applied previous to
seeding, the yield was 1.09 tons
and with both lime and superphos
phate 2.33 tons per acre.
charge
(Ivtcrnntinvnl)
QUESTION: Why are so many
farmers getting all excited about
lespedeza and what is the best
variety for me to grow?
ANSWER: It is a most excellent
hay and grazing crop, say State
College agronomists. They * also
point out that it is a fine soil im
proving crop and helps to prevent
erosion. Thirty years ago it was
practically unknown in North Car
olina, except as a wild plant. To
day Kobe and Korean are the
leading commercial varieties. Con
sult your county agent as to seed
supplies and the variety best suit
ed to your conditions. Lespedeza
fits well into crop rotation in all
parts of the State and the acreage
is being continually increased.
Soil tests will tell you how much
lime is needed for successful pro
duction of the crop. Complete fer
tilizers are needed in the rotation,
where the crop is grown for sev
eral years.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends
and neighbors for their many acts
of kindness and sympathy shown
us during the illness and at the
death of our husband and father,
and for the lovely flowers.

(From the file of Nov., 1906)
J- J. Perry has bought the G. W.
Southern farm near Cherryfield
and has moved his family in. Mr.
Southern will go to South Carolina
and try raising cotton.
The Dunn’s Rock excavation
next to the News office became a
lake during the recent rainy sea
son last Saturday and Sunday. It
was drained Tuesday and the work
of building the foundation has
been resumed.
From the number of ’possum
that have been caught inside the
town limits this fall we conclude
that the crop of persimmon and
’possum grapes is a failure, and
these marsupials consider chicken
better than starvation.
A man who would tantalize a
print shop Monday morning with
a $20 bill to pay a $2 bill is about
the limit, yet this was an experi
ence of the News office this week.
Wonder if the people have an idea
that we control the United States
treasury or have a mortgage on
some national bank. A $5 bill
would have been above the limit
of this print shop on a Monday
morning.
Miss Rose Loftis, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Loftis, and Mr.
J. F. Scaffe, of Louisville, were
married at the home of the bride
Saturday morning in the presence
of a number of invited guests.
Immediately after the ceremony,
which was performed by Rev. P.
G. Elsom, the happy couple left
for a visit to Asheville. Knoxville
and Louisville, where they will
make their future home.
The Odd Fellows observed one
of their peculiar customs on Mon
day night. When a member be
comes a benedict he furnishes a
supper to the lodge. This as a
rule takes place in the lodge room,
but Bro. Newton, proprietor of the
McMinn House, kindly offered to
prepare and serve the supper at
a hotel. After lodge all repaired
to the place and to say all enjoyed
themselves is to put it mildly.
J. A. Forsythe was toastmaster
and called for several impromptu
speeches, all of which were en
joyed.
We had a severe storm of rain
and wind from noon Saturday till
Monday morning, and as a result
the river spread out over the bot
toms and our sylvan valley became
an inland sea, otherwise no dam
age is reported.
Hendersonville has recently ac
quired two of Brevard’s most en
terprising young business men,
and we bespeak for them demo
cratic treatment in their new loca
tion. We refer to Hume Harris and
Beverly Trantham who have open
ed a first class restaurant in our
neighboring town of Henderson
ville. They will be found exemp
lary citizens and will merit the
patronage of the best element of
Hendersonville people.
Married on Thursday, Nov. 15,
at the residence of the bride’s
mother, Mrs. Kate Sitton, of Eas
ley, S. C., Miss Fannie M. Sitton,
to James Erwin Waters son of
M. B. Waters, formerly of Brevard.
They will make their future home
at Rogersville, Tenn.
