Fancy Fork township is rapidly be coming one of the outstanding cattle s.riimis o i' Western North Carolina. This township boasts .nine pure bred Hereford bulls. Wo believe this rec mi' i? iim^iialled by any single town ship in Jackson county. "Cane^ Fork runie'' is a well known expression throughout Jackaon and Haywood counties. With this increased interest in hoe t' cattle, of course, goes a great er interest in pasturing. During 1029, ;n it > :;ad acres ofl land was cleared lor |iasuites, and many worn out |i;i-l u res were reset with grass. Mr. C W. Tilson, the county agent,1 nu,I Mr. Vestal, his assistant, did splendid wcrki in'this pasture cam-! paigu, and both are highly respected mid appreciated in Oaney Fork town ship. The local 4H. Club has had a very! successful year. Nine of its members) attended the 4-H Cltrb can:p at Swan . annua, last summer. Fancy Fork Township came out' with seven 1 sweepstakes at the recent) Jackson Counyt Livestock and Poul try Show. We must not forget our publis ae I'liiiiplishii ents during the past^ year. The .folia's Creek Consolidated school has a well-trained faculty and the ii'hool is doing wonderful work dar ing this year.-The teachers are all' ??'real workers and are taking the greatest of interest in both school -and community activities.

M-ln'ol pat roit? donjt waj^^theifL ' j The community tifts a F^trent*Tea?b- [ er Association, a Community Later-' hit Society, and a fine school basket hall team. A I)eIeo light plant was re cently installed in the schoolbuilding. The finest of cooperation has been shown this year by the school patrons of Rrasstown and Moses Creek dis tricts. A line, progressive spirit prevails in the churches of the township. The Baptist and Methodist Sunday schoos of John's Creek community are hav : ?"ST a hot attendance contest. The; Moses Creek Baptist Sunday school is booming, the Brasstown Sunday, school is picking up, and both the Freewill and Missionary Baptist Sun day schools of Rich Mountain arc go in? well. Caney Fork townschip entertains hritrht hopes for the future. A "come back to the farm" movement is on toot, several copper mining prospects ^ are showing up fine, and with the aid of a linger consolidation program, we hope to soon see a standard.high school in Taney Fork township.
