BREViUtDNEWS CHANGES HANDS As we sro to press a deal is being closed whereby the ownership of the Brevard News and Brevard Printery is being transferred from Shipman, Osborne and Band to a local man.

Announce ment of the permanent plans of the new owner will be published next week. THE PRAYER CORNER APPRECIATES NEWS; SnRITDMM IDEAS We always look forward with pleasant anticipations to the opening of the mail on Saturdays at which time we usually receive the News. We then spend a few tninutes con ning the columns of the paper for the record of what is going on in Transylvania industrially, socially, religiously, educationally, politically, upward, forward, downward and sidewise. We are delighted when we see a record of progress in any com munity of the county. Occasionally we are made sad by the record of the death of our friends, old, in the prime of life and little children; yet we realize that such is the common lot of all, and soon as we shall all be called from the duties of this life ' A PRAYER FOR EASTER into that beyond.

The Souvenir will have a map of Transylvania showing the homes of our boys, a map of the battle fields in France and Belgium; pictures of .airplanes, tanks and men in battle; a short history of the Great War and poems about it. The book will be edited by E. H. Norwood* assisted by Messrs. Fisher, Clement and Lof tis and will be gotten up in hand- ijome style so as to make a suitable souvenir to hand down to your child ren’s children. In order to make the publication of this book possible each sgddier and sailor must do his part. The cuts of the photographs of each man will be furnished at cost, be paid for by him self and remain his property after the book is published. If there are any of the men too poor to pay for their pictures the cpst of same will be divided up among the rest. have been in desperate straits indeed. At the time the whole community was struggling desperately with the epidemic, there not being enough well people to care for the sick. Mr. Allison, himself sick, came from ministering to a sick neighbtjr to take to his bed. Pneumonia de veloped v.'ith Mr. and Mrs. Allison and the oldest daughter, Mrs. Jen nings. In spite of all efforts of the doctors, a professional nurse and the volunteer nurses and helpers, it was not possible to save them, and on Friday, Feb. 27th, Mr. Allison died; on Saturday 28th Mrs. Jennings died and on Sunday 29th Mrs. Allison followed.

He was a member of Edenton St. Metho dist church, Raleigh, N. C., in which city he spent most of his life, having been educated at the Blind Institute, and married the daughter of Mayor Wm, H. Harrison of that city. His mother-in-law was matron of the blind institution for 17 years. 1920. Last Chriistmas was the twenty-eight anniversary of her mar riage to Mr. Allison. Mrs. Jennings was the eldest child, Minnie Leota. She was born Sept. 26, 1894, and died Feb. 28, 1820. She was married Nov, 4th, 1914 to G. T, Jennings.

In matters political, this is year in which the boys are to have their fun competing for positions which, in most instances, do not pay enough to justify anyone in making the race if it was not for the fun they got out of the contest. From the list of names announced in the News, the indications are that Tran sylvania is not lacking in aspirants for certain positions, and we suppose a lively contesb is to be expected. May the best man win! We suppose other hats will be “flung” into the arena and that great and mighty will be wthe race. In the language of Shakespe^r or Milton or one of the antedeluvian poets or somebody else, we hope there will be “No blood spilt. No one kilt, But a hot race And a long i>ace m To the office they covet; Thine Hand and save such and give t them back, restored to the hearts ) that yearn for them, \ Let the day bring beauty and | also glp^'lness to human souls and a closer communion with j The Risen Lord | Wherever His followers call upon Thee this day, may they have the the vision that fadeth not away, the re newal of the hope that we believe is at last to be fulfilled to Thy child ren, and all we ask is in His name.

Hodges cleaned out the fish pond at the Court House last week he discovered that several of the largest fish had been stolen. Who ever was the culprit it was a mi^ty low down trick. These fish are placed in the pool for the entertainment of the citizens and visitors of Brevard and all right thinking people will ap preciate and protect them. The other day a small boy was beating the water saveagely with a stick and he had all the finny tribe so badly scar ed that they raced round and round the pool in a most distracted manner. Boys, if you like to see fish, look at them and enjoy them but don’t an noy them. “Evil is wrought by want of thought as well as want of mind.” BAPTIST CHURCH If you have not listed your.

MEMORIAL SERVICES AT DA VIDSON RIVER With good cheer Both far and near. And plenty of fun Till the victory V won Because all run for the love of it.” T. H. C. On Easter Sunday, Apr. 4 there will be a memorial service for the three deceased members of the Eli sha Alison family held in the David son River Church. The hour is 3:30 P. M. The service will be conducted by Rev. John R. Hay and Rev. Eli jah Allison. Alll those wishing to show respect for the dead and sym pathy for the bereaved are cordiaUy invited to be present and to bring flowers. Mrs. Allison represented the very finest type of Christian motherhood, rearing her children in motherly ten derness and love with the fear of God always before her eyes . Her children were her joy and cr#wn; they shall prove a better monument to her than any we could rear. Mrs. Jennings was taken from life when her w'ork was but begun; yet what she had done gave praise of a highly useful future. She was a dili gent and careful housewife, a de voted wife and mother, and a sincere Christian; her little girl is a model of sweetness and good behavior. Very rarely does the sympathy of April 4, 1920 Easter Sermon at 11 A. M. Easter exeiciscs by Sunday school at 7:30 P. M. All members are urged to bring their offerings to the 75 million fund. a whole community go out to a be reaved family as the sympathy of all has gone to the Allisons. It was impossible at the time to have fitting funeral services, so on Easter Sun day at the regular hour for service— 3:30 P. M.—there will be a Mem orial Service for all three held in the Davidson River Church of which Mrs. Allison and Mrs. Jennings were devoted members. This will provide an opportunity for all their friends to show their sympathy and respect. To the bereaved children whose sorrow is too deep for words we would repeat the words of the sweet old hymn: “Not now, but in the coming years It may be in the better land, We’ll read the meaning of our tears, And there, sometime, we’ll under stand.” Now while eggs are cheap is the' time to hatch your chickens. The chickens hatched this month will lay- before Christmas. Set all the old hens you can scrape up at the same time you start your incubator. When the hatch comes off brood them all together in your home-made brooder I told you about in my last article, America consumes more eggs than any other nation in the world. Even the rotten ones can be used in tan ning leather. Keep your eggs in a cool place. Eggs exposed to heat “stale” rapidly. Eggs in winter mean profit; the lack of them loss. Hens have a regu lar grist mill inside of them. If you. place your ear close to the body of a fowl at night you can plainly hear the grinding going on in the gizzard. But look out the marshall does*nt catch you, he might misinterpret your motives. Peanut meal makes an excellent substitute for beef scrap for poultry. Use it in your cooked feed mixed with shorts in the proportion of one to four. Seasoning the food with pepper or using tonics of any kind, are unneces sary for fovvis that are healthy. When fed on highly seasoned food, the hens become sluggish and inactive. The best tonic is variety of food, fresh water and clean insect proof quarters at night. Quite a crowd of interested spec tators gathered at the front of the Court House on Monday to witness and participate in the sale by auc tion of the two store buildings and nracant lot belonging to the estate of W. P. Weilt, late of Brevard. Lawyer Len English was the auctioneer and spirited bidding ensued. The brick building was bid in by W. H. Duck worth for 13,750.00; the frame build ing to J. S. Broomfield for $3,025.00; and the Jim Aiken*s lot to Chas. E. Orr for $2,125.00. The stock of goods in the Weilt Gent’$ Fumishing^s 8toi% was bought by A. E. Hampton at M 3-4 on the. valuation.
