A SERMON By Rev. W. E. Poovey Subject: “Should I Worry”? Text; Matt. 6; 25 The words of the Master were not meant to discourage a. proper degree of forethougfht. We should plan well our work for the future. But we are to understand them as a waminij against that an^^ious care which is called “WORRY”. Briefly let us examine the question of worry as it relates itself to Past, Present, and Future. 1. Should I worry about the Past? A month of worry will not alter a minute of our mis-spent past. If I have sinned against God, I should repent. He alone c&n change the past in its relation to my mistakes. If I have wronged my fellowman, I should make speedy restitution as far as lies within my power. If I have wasted time or omitted duty, my redoubled effort will do much more toward redeeming the time than all my vain regrets. 2. Should I worry about the Present? If it is about something I am trying to do, the energy wasied in worry will by so much un fit me for the work in hand. If it is about some thing I have been called upon to endure, the nerve force lost in foolish fretting will leave me less able to bear the burden, be it obligation, grief or pain. I should tackle present tasks with a will to win, rather than waste time and energy in useless worry. 3. Should I worry about the Future? All our worry will not push back nor post pone the impending calamity that may seem to threaten us or ours. Had you ever stopped to think that the things about which we worried moot have rarely ever come to pass, or if they happened, they were less dreadful in reality than in anticipation. Worry weakens oi^r powers of resistance and endurance and, therefore, wholly unfits us for what the future might bring:. Moreover, fretting about the future shows a lack of faith in God. 4. Finally, if we do our best in this Pre sent, while we trust His mercy to forgive in the unchanging past, and his wisdom to guide in the unknown Future, we will have learned life’s lesson well. “Steady, Christian! do not stumble, Though the path be dark as night; There’s a star to guide the humble , Trust in God, and do the right.” DEATH OF FORMER EDITOR'S FATHER RED CROSS MEET ING POSTPONED The annual meeting of the branches of the Transylvania Red Crass announced for the twelfth will be postponed un til further notice on account of quarantine regulations.

Jones of Pis- gah Forest, who will sympa thize with them in the loss of their father. The death occur red at Andrews, where the de ceased had resided for a num ber of years. William P. Jones, a Confed erate veteran of the Sixtieth North Carolina regiment, died at an early hour this morning after an illness of five days. He was in the eighty-fourth year of his age. Death was caused by pneumonia folowing an at tack of Spanish influenza, con tracted on a recent visit to the Confederate reunion at Tulsa, Oklahoma. Mr. Jones was originally a resident of Bun combe county, having been born and reared in the Hominy section. He is a member of the Tran sylvania chapter of Veterans at Brevard. Funeral services were held at the Andrews Bap tist church this afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. J. P. Bennett, the pastor. Interment was at the Valley- town cemetery. NEAR BREVARD Hog cholera has been dis covered near Brevard. Eight head of hogs have already died from the disease. The herd has been vaccinated with hog chol era serum and a number of herds near the infected herd have been treated with serum secured from the department of agriculture at Raleigh. The serum is the only medicine the government and veternarians recognize as a preventative against hog cholera. Hog cholera is caused by a specific germ and may be trans mitted from one herd to anoth er by birds, buzzards, dogs, streams of water and other ways. R. E. Lawrence, County Agent.

A patriotic mass meeting of the students of Brevard Insti- jtute was held under the aus- i pices of the Lanier and Adel- i phian Literary Societies on Sat urday night. Stirring talks were made by members of the faculty and sev eral of the students. Lieut. Golden of the Pisgah Forest Camp was present and made an appeal for the support of the Fourth Liberty Loan which was enthusiastically received.

These subscriptions ranged in denomination from 50 cents to $100.00.

TEACHERS'ASSEMBLY !HErSErTEMBER2^ The teachers of the county met in the Brevard State High School building on Saturday, September 28th, and after the opening services conducted by County Superintendent A. F. Mitchell, organized as follows: Superintendent A. F. Mitchell, president; Prof. J. W. Bennett, vice-president; Miss Georgia Bell, secretary; Miss Janie F. Moseley, treasurer; executive committee, Miss Georgia Bell, chairman, Misses Clarice, Guth rie and Ruth Brooks; program committee. Prof. J. W. Bennett, chairman. Misses Myrtle Rhodes and Verna Goode. Mr. W. E. Breese addressed the assembly on the Fourth Liberty Bond, after which Mis ses King and Wallis waited up on the audience and received a contribution of over $1,100. Practically all the school took part in the following dis cussions : Compulsory School Law, Betterment Association, County Fair, Certification of Teachers, Community Progress and the Six Months School Amendment now before the good people. Mr. F. L. Wilson, member of County Board of Education, went deep into the subject, to the entire satisfac tion of all present. Both po litical parties and the State Legislature have endorsed the school amendment and of course it was most heartily en dorsed by the assembly as they have long desired such reform ation for the children of the State. The county assembly adopted the State’s request of closing all school houses on November 5th and working for the Constitutional Amendment for a six-months school, which means so much to the children of the “Sky Land.” Nearly every school in the county had representatives in the meeting, and they did not mind discussing any prob lems of the day. It might be said here that we have the liv- est bunch of teachers as a whole that the county has ever had. Every teacher in the county is well prepared to do his work. The meeting was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Having pledg ed our all to the U. S. A. till Germany is beaten, we were dismissed after a short prayer by Prof. J. W. Bennett. I Swine Registered boar — R.
