Th(^ News is in receij)t of a copy

Mary 1* ranees Shuford (v^taughter
of Judge and Mrs. Geo. A. Shuford
of Ashevilh*, toriiK^r residents of
Brevard) being a member of the
editorial stall’. Miss Shuford has
two articles iu The Thimes, one of
which concerns the Indian legend as
sociated with Connestee fails. The
contribation entitled “Connestee,”
is a result of her visit to the falls
last summer. She tells in interest
ing .si*nii poetic style the legend
of the beautiful Indian princess,
daughter of a powerful chieftain,
who after lookin*; with disfavor
upon many of the braves who
sought her hand became infatuated
with a pale face whose wooing
seemed sweeter to hc-r than the
music of the twin waterfalls. Owing
to her disap])ointmeiit over his fail
ure to return at an appointed time
she dashed herself into the ])ool be
low tile fall. The News would r*-
prcduce this interesting and well
prepared legend but the length
prcclude^j its publication.

Now Time to Think of Farm Tools
All farmers, small and big, will have to buy tools
of some character to cultivate the coming crop.
Prices are advancing all the time and farmers can
save money by looking over their old tools and buying
what will be needed this year. Take an inventory of
what you have, decide upon new took needed and
come in and let’s figure on them. By doing this now
we will be able to order anything you may need not
in stock.
Among the tools now on hand are:
Plows
One-Horse Hickory Wagons
Disc Harrows
Nissen Wagons
Cultivators
Com Planters
We have harness, chsuns and other things needed
in this connection.
