Broccoli may yet prove to be the

year with thirty acres of the new

Mr. Buie and Mr. Morris Loewen

out last fall about thirty acres of
broccoli, the more to try out the soil

proved very successful and would
have been even more so had not the

Editor Dies Sunday
Fayetteville, March 9.—After more
than half a century of service in
journalistic ranks, George Gannon
Myrover, editor of the Fayetteville
Observer, died early this morning
from the effects of a paralytic
stroke suffered Thursday. Mr. Myr-
over’s death occurred at his home on
Haymount, where he was born and
reared, and the funeral will be held
Monday afternoon at 4:30 from the
First Presbyterian church, of which
he had been a life long member, a
deacon and an elder.
Beginning at the age of 14, Mr.
Myrover was connected with news
papers of the upper Cape Fear sec
tion during the greater part of the
past 64 years. He began work Ln
his father’s paper ,the Fayetteville
News, immediately after the Civil
War. Later he became a publisher
himself, with his elder brother, trie
late J. Harry Myrover. Their paper
was the N C. Gazette, printed in
Fayetteville. It had a longer life
than most journals of that time, five
years. The existing files of the Ga
zette, containing much historical ma
terial pertaining to the stirring events
of those times, are now in the Uni-
versify of North Carolina, having
been donated by Mr. Myrover.

Free Concert At
College Tues. Nigh
On Tuesday evening, March 18,
Mr. Weldon F. Whitlock, tenor, of
Staunton. Virginia, will give a con
cert in the auditorium of Flora
Macdonald College. Mr. Whitlock

1909.
For several vears he taught
with much success and it was hoped
that he would make teaching his
life work. However about 1919 he
went into business in Red Springs.
In 1921 while quite a young man he
was elected an elder in the church at
Red Springs and was made clerk of
the session thus following closely in
the footsteps of his father.
Mr. McRae now holds the position
of cashier
of the Bank of Red
Springs. The Hank most unwilling
ly releases him to accept the impor
tant position to which he is called
by the college.
Mr. McRae’s experience as a col
lege graduate, a teacher of ability, a
business man and bank official fits
him in an especial way for handling
successfully his duties in connection
with the college.
Flora Macdonald is sorry to give
up Mr. McLeod who has conducted
the business o* the college so effi
ciently but is most happy to present
to the public anil friends of the col
lege a man so eminently fitted to
carry on this important part of the
