Reynolds, superintend ; ent f education of Buncombe coun ty, speaking bcl'ore the county-wide i meeting of -teachers at Sylva, on i last Saturday, declared that the only j way that the educators can put n I stop to the criticism that is being j j directed against the schools, is for j the teachers to form a close contact1 | with the patrons of the schools, the people who pay the taxes, andi Con vince them that the schools ar<i not the teachers' schools; but that they j are the -people's schools, that the | j teachera are doing a good job of; their work, and that tho tax payers are getting value received for the money invested. "-If yon, as teachers, aren't wil ling to prepare for your daily task j in the school room, so that you will ' get pleasure amj inspiration from teaching the boys, and girls, it is j time for you to hand in your resig-, ! nation '.r, said Mr. Tteynolds. The speaker paid high compliment. I to the character of teachers employ ed in Jackson county. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the Jackson county edu-j eational society some time next sum mer, oi< early in the l'all, when all the schools of the county are in scs-j sion; and the membership fee in the; association was changed from 101 a month to 1 per cent of the first: month 's salary.

B. Finley, of North Wilkesboro, at the February term of (Jackson -county superior opurt, which opens here, 011 noxt Monday morning.

Vest-; al, assistant county agent. The program recommended is: Beef Cattle 1. That more and better beef cat tle be grown, and grazed on farms" suited to beef cattle production. 2. That, beef cattlq growers keep and breed from 5 to 10 more good beef type cows, in order to consume more farm feeds and pastures, and produce lots of manure and good beef calves. 3. That the beef cattle be increased and improved by using nothing but good, purebred, registered bulls. The breed generally recommended is Hereford. 4. That all men unite in elimiuat ing the scrub bulls in every com munity. 5. That beef cattle farmers provide an abundance of summer pasture for summer glazing, and winter pasture for winter grazing, so as to produce' good quality cattle at as low cost as possible. - G.

That moru and (better dairy cat tle be kept on the valley farms, suit ed to dairy cattle. 2. That at least five extra good cows, and preferably ten cows -be kept on each dairy farm, since at least this number is ncccssaiy to the economical use of labor, marketing costs, and farm equipment. 3.

CAB COPPER OSE SHIPPED DAILY ? A car of Jackson county coppcr, from the Cullowhee Coppcr Mino, is leaving the rail head, at East La porte, every day, foij the Tennessee Copper Company 's smelter, at thick town. Since the Cullowhec Copper Mine was taken over by the North Cum lina Flux Company, under an option lease, last summer, that com pan}' litis been busy opening up the property, building roadways, and doin? other development work. On December 6, last, the first car load of CopjM'r ore was shipped l'rom East Laporte, and since that dato the production of the mine has been gradually increased, until it has now reached a car a day. The Journal has it upon most ex cellent authority that the lessors ol the property arc not only pleased with the production of the mine; but that the quality of the ore exceeds their expectations, having a higher percentage of copper, and other met al content than had been anticipated JOHN'S CREEK IPTEMS Mr. and Mrs. Jesse C.

The cere mony was carried out in the most ii|> to-date style; and therefore, it wjm interesting to each member of the audience Some Tery good) progrrjn.s ha v.' been presented by this club, .and il seems every one is deriving much good from (he work of 4his club.
