ducing milk and representatives of
the market to get together and have
a mutual understanding about the
matter; the farmer will have the
milk if he has a market; the market
will be provided if the milk is avail
able.
A committee of business men and
farmers appointed at the meeting
mentioned above are doing some pre
liminary work in perfecting a plan to
provide a market to care for the sur
plus dairy products which, it is hoped
will eventually provide as desirable
a market for dairy products as we
now have for poultry products.
OFFICERS OF WOMAN’S
CLUB ARE RE-ELECTED
MRS. E. C. M’MILLAN AND
MRS. BEAMAN ENTERTAIN
The farmers and business men of
McDowell county are becoming ac
tively interested in a better market
for dairy products as well as for oth
er products of the farm as evidenced
by the enthusiastic meeting of far
mers and business men which was
held at Lake Tahoma during the
past week, an acount of which was
given in the last issue of this paper
McDowell county, situated at the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountain
on the “line” between the mountain
section and the piedmont section of
the state, does not produce to a
marked degree any of the cash crops
of either of these sections. Fruit and
truck are the principal cash crops of
the mountain section while cotton
and tobacco are the principal cash
crops of the piedmont section. Due
to the location, the soils, and the cli
matic conditions it is believed that
McDov/ell county must look else
where than to the principal cash
Mrs. E. C. McMillan and Mrs. J. G.
Beaman were joint hostesses at a
bridge party given last Wednesday
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Bea
man. There were six tables of
bridge in progression with Mrs. Geo.

Mrs. J. Y. Lonon second high.
Quantities of garden flowers were
placed about the room, making an
attractive background for the tables.
The hostesses served a salad coursie
followed by an ice course.
Mrs. McMillan and Mrs. Beaman
entertained with five tables on Wed
nesday night. Mrs. J. J. Wagner won
the top score prize and Miss Elsfe
House the consolation prize. A salad
and ice course was served by the
hostesses, assisted by Mrs. J. W.
Streetman, Jr. Mrs. W. H. Anderson
of Asheville and Mrs. W. K. Keeter

guests.
RUTHERFORD MAN NAMED
ON STATE ELECTIONS BODY
The members of the Woman’s
Club gathered at the home of Mrs.
Annie Miller Pless last Friday for
the final meeting of the fiscal year.
The president, Mrs. J. Q. Gilkey,
presided.
A committee composed of Mrs. E.
H. Dysart, S. E. Copeland, Charles
Barnes, L. J. P. Cutlar, B. G. Carr
and J. W. Winborne, was named to
co-operate with a committee from
the Chamber of Commerce to make
plans for the participation of the
club in the Rhododendron festival
in Asheville June 17-23.
A report from the nominating
committee was read, and the present
officers were re-elected for the en
suing year, as follows: Mrs. J. Q.
Gilkey, president; Mrs. D. F. Giles,
vice-president; Mrs. Geo. S. McCall,
treasurer; Mrs, B. G. Carr, secretary
A very satisfactory report of the
year’s work was read by the treasur
er.
Several committees will be active
through the summer months to for
mulate necessary plans for the de
velopment of club work.
No program had been planned for
this meeting and after the comple
tion of business the gruests were in
vited into the garden where a profu
sion of magnificent blooms greeted
them. It was interesting to note the
variety of beautiful plants, and this
started a discussion of “names, time
for planting, height of growth,” and
many things pertaining to flowers in
general. After a tour of the garden
the handsome baskets, vases, wall-
pockets, etc., filled with ’ gorgeous
blooms were examined. These were
artistically arranged throughout the
