THE GREATEST OF ALL JOYS IS CREATING THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING THINGS LEARNING how to save dollars is the foundation of a possibility. WHEN you save as much as you can; WHEN you educate yourself for greater things; WHEN you keep track of the small things and have a bank account to do it with, you will accomplish whatever you set out to do. USE our bank for that purpose. 1 Bank of YanceyviMe The Bank That Satisfies R. L. Mitcht H, Bres. H. A. AHison, Y. I'res S. M. Bason, Cashier T. D. Boswe!). Ass ! Cashier , YANCEYVfLLE, N. C. HIVE OF BEES SIXTY FEET FROM TERRA FIRMA "Kinky by? baby in the tree tup As the wind btows the i rathe wit! rock." R. A. Daniet, who hvea near Sam Gatewodd's store, found a swarm of bees on a tree in his yard sixty feet from the ground the other day. The swarm was so targe that he wouldn't let them down. And as they were'on a perpendicutar timb he went to work and constructed a gum or hive for them, sawed o(T the timb just above where the trees were sw arming, elevated the hive to the stump of the timb which he had sawed 08 and safety hived that swarm of bees in that gum. and teft it there. tf any one knows of a bee gum more than sixty feet from the ground the columns of this paper are open for an account of the same. Simon Stylctes^ the fam ous ascetic, once tived sixty feet above the ground on a cotumn. But a rea) honest-to-goodness swarm of bees tiving up tliat high is something unheard of before. SUNDAY SCHOOL DAY OBSERVANCE Prospect M. E. Church Sunday evening, May 30th. was the occasion of the observance of Sunday school day at Prospect church, three mites west of Yah ceyville. ft was pronounced by those present as decidedty in teresting. and hopefutty inspiring If the man who deetarcs that the church has lost )ts ho]d upon the masses was there, perhaps his thinking has been recast by this time Certainly the occasion was enough to silence croaking in a!) its pestiferous forms. The bright faces of all those who participated and the immense crowd of on lookers constitute sufficient rea son for keeping our faces to the sun rise as a prophecy of a glad der day. The reason such success was possible may be summed up in just two words, "faithfutness and "cooperation * The faithfulness of those who directed and trained for the exercise was quite ap parent, and is entitled to unstinted praise And this is matched on!y by the cooperation of the parents and children Abiding influences are. confidently hoped for Miss Flora Hood made an in t cresting and inspiring talh at the meeting of the B.
