FRIDAY .AUGUST 8. 1913 J The Western Carolina Bible Con Jerencenow in session, here has come up to the mo3t sanguine ex pectations of it's most enthuseastic supporters. - There is no doubt of the fact that we here at Sylva have been enabled through it's instru mentality to enjoy the blessings of hearing some of the finest things in the exposition of the Old Teste ment Scripture and the Gospel of Ohrist. The majority of the" men who have done the speaking and preaching are men who have been given by this section to other parts of the world and who have come back here at this time to give us the benefit of their experience. And 'every one who has bsen -so fortu nate as to attend these ' meetings has enjoyed them greatly. If you have not been attending the West ern Carolina Bible Conference, you liave missed much and should try to be present at the rzs: 61 tns. sir vices for it will certainly do you good to come in touch with these ,men. vDid you ever try to run a Coun try Newspaper? Possibly some of you did. Well did you succeed in .satisfying everybody ? Most assure' Uy you did not. If you did how tever it was because you wern't worth half the devil your commun ity or else your paper was publish ed in Utopia or you are "the biggest Jiar that ever talked. Not that we ;are kieking or tired of the job for we are not. It's a heap easier tosor terhalf wayran country newrsp psr that it is to work for a living, any how a lot of folks are mighty good .to us. Believe us it sure does make -a fellow feel good to have some fel low that he did not know was his friend to come in and "Put his hand on your shoulder in a friend ly sort of way" when you are feel ing blue and out of sorts and say ' Old man I like you and. your pap er lajod J want you to send it to me -fer another y er, Keep pn trying. jq tne Dest you can F?Hl?nite ;I amuT Mend" It makes tears ;start into ;yGur eyes and gives you Ta queer feeling up the middle of your tsoine. But it Duts new life Co a" fellow and he can go about lis work with a song in his heart and work, you can do more in ten minutes that you could in a week before he came and "Put his hand on; vour shoulder in a fnendly sort of way. , . 7 we:are trying to make.

Ateacher must have 1 the co operation of the members of ' the community he is trying to serve or else his school will necessarilly be a failure and it won't be the teach ers fault. 'The parents and, patrons of a school owe it to themselves, the teacher, soc iety ard to the children to 'get --.right in behind the teacher and school committee and back them up with their encouragement and their hearts. Your heart mutst be in your work if your work is to be a success. The most important work in this or any other county is the training of children to be men and women. The teacher can't do it all oz anywhere near all. The parents and others of the commun ity must do the major part. Let's all get together and make a record this year in school work that w ill be a credit to. the county and that will prove a valuable ass et in years to come. III .

Death ends the pain, the grief, the strain, the grasp ing and the giving; when dead, no more we worry o'er the grievous cost of living. The dead men sleep while planets keep a whirl, each on its axis, they break their hearts to make enough to pay their taxes. They do not sweat o'er dun and debt they have no hope of cashing, or rend their hair in black denair. or heap their tjo1 ' man might write like this all night and proye that death's a daisy, but men who shirk life's care and work are'timid, cheap and lazy. The men who sigh and wish to die should haste and kick the bucket; if life's a fake that makes them ache, they surely ough to chuck it. The man who's sane does not complain when troubles round him gather; he likes o show his rit and so he whips the whole blamed slather. He lives his life, enjoys the strife, and when it's time to travel, he does a while in flossy style and sleeps beneath the gravel. Walt Mason in News and Observer. The Journil is in receipt of a codv of thft 1f5l3 catalog of the j Western North Carolina Fair A sso ciation. which will hold its third annual Fair at Asheville on October 7, . 9 and 10. The catalog of ninety-six . nges, : bearing an attractive picture of four views rprirpsentative of Western North Carolina on its front cover,; is full of inWoQting information J relative to the Fair and in the an-1 nouncement of a numher of new features, bear? pvHencs of a He- r parture in many rejects from the stereotyped form of agricultural fairs. The catalog contains nearlv a thousand classes in which different exhibits can be mde and for which cash premiums aggegating approxi mately 4.000 are offered. The number md variety of exhibits for which premiums are offered has been considerably increased over those of last year and the amount of the premiums has been appre ciably increased. The products of nearly evety in dustry or form of human endeavor in this section have been covered by various departments of 'the Fair which it is predicted will be much larger and more representative of the whole of the Western North Carolina than any previous exhibi- Lumbe: Ceiling Flooring, ; Siding, Moulding, Windo w and Door Frames, Balusters, Porch Columns, Stair and Porch Rails ' ..

Tl ,1 Secretary of the Treasury, Mc Adoo has called bankers from fifty nine cities in the South and West to Washington to confer with him in regard to distributing money in the banks in various, parts of the country to assist in handling the crops. CONTEST DISCONTINUED is an innovation for agricultural f; irs and by reason of the varied ; line of exhib't for which handsome premiums and diplomas are offer- j ed, it is believed that it will finally become one of the most in'eresting features of the Fair and serve the , purpose of interesting boys and girls of this secLj.i in those things j which will tend to greater progress and development along many lines. Another jew feature of the Fair work is the college scholarship con test in which free scholarships will be given in a number of the lead ing educational institutions in the State.
