1928". The bill was filed with the
Board of Education on December,

school at a very small cost to the
county. He also explained that the
teachers of the county who hold
oert.ificotes below the Elementary
B. ,c'?ss cannot enter State summer
schools under the rules adopted by
the State department of Education.
After considering these matters the
board ordered that arrangements be

MEETING OF MATHATASIAN I
CLUB <
On last Thursday afternoon the
Mathatasian Club met at the home
of Miss Florence Kern.
The topic for discussion was "The
Town Beautiful." Mrs. Ralph tfiah
er, who has so ably substituted for
Mrs. Seagle during the club year
was the leader.
Mrs. Fisher was called out of
?own she ?ent her carefully prepar
ed, thoughtful paper to be read by
Mrs. Beulah Zachary, chairman of
the program committee.
Mrs. Fisher stated, "Beuiy is not
expensive. The natural beauty, and
the wonderful climate were g'.ven
to us but God did not intend to
frame the picture. Something was
expected of us.
There Bhould be town planning
from the beginning with restricted
zones.
In the spring why can't we dedi
cate a week to the beutifying of our
town?
"In planting shrubbery and flow
ers it would be wise to form a study
class and learn just how and what
to plant to the best advantage.
"Fresh coats of paint would help ,
some of our main streets more than i
all else.
Clean, attractive shops and w'.n- j
dows wil Ido more to attract atten- !
tion than all the wealth you can put
there in dirty surroundings. If
merchants could be made to realize
the trade they gain or lose just from
window views they would be con
tinually carrying on better and more
window campaigns.
"With the help of every citizen
we can make Brevard the most beau
tiful town in Western North Caroli j
na. A town that will advertise it- j
self and a town of which every man ?
will be proud.
The subject was ably discussed i
by Mrs. O. H. Orr and Mrs. E. H
Norwood.
Mrs. Orr suggested that every
mother teach her children not to
throw trash in public buildings nor
on the streets or sidewalks.
There should be trash containers
on the streets and everyone taight
to use them.
Each citizen has a duty to per
form in keeping the town clean and
making it beautiful. |

METHODIST REVtVAll
The revival services at the Matty)
dint church are increasing ill intefii
est and power as the days go by. ?
The mass meeting Sunday after
noon, under the direction, of Mls)i
Hosford resulted in the consecration
of many young lives to tbfc service
of Christ, Aa these young people
stood around the altar, acpompfcln*
ed by their parents and Sunday sch
ool teachers, it was a most impres
sive sight, "* ' '
Sunday uight Mr. Welch j?r*ach-'
ed to a crowded house from the sub
ject, "A Broken Hearted Christ."
He gave evidence to prove thkt it
was not the nails and the eronb
which killed Jesus, but the burden,
of sins of the world which actually
broke his heart.
Two special features of this ser
vice were a, quartet by the pastors
of the several churchs and a duet
by Miss Hosford and Mr. Hartsell.
On Tuesday night the faculty and
students of Brevard Institute and
the High School were special guests.
Half the building was filled with
these young people.
The subject of the sermon was
The Way of Salvation Made Plain
as Day. The sermon was wonder
fully clear, forceful and logical and
made a deep impression.
Thursday night all who have at
tended any of the cottage prayer
meetings are asked to be present and
each district will form a special
group. A token will be presented
to the group having the largest nu- I
mber present.
Friday night the fraternal orders '
will be special guests. This will be
a very largely attended and an in- .
teresting meeting. ? j
There will be no services on Sat
urday. On Sunday there will be
the regular services at eleven and
seven thirty.
At three o'clock there will be a
special service celebrating Mother's j
Day w. - - ' - r

nevolent order of Never Sweats and
the Society for the ? Prevention of
Cruelty to Husbands, He has not
yet joined the Woodmen but feels

This will b a largely attended and
interesting service.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
The County Commissioners and |
the Road Commissioners attended j
the Good Roads meeting in Asheville [
Tuesday.
This meeting was called by Col
onel Pratt, president of Western
North Carolina Inc.
The principle feature of the me
eting was the address by Frank Page '
chairman of the State Highway
Commission. Mr. Page stated thati
the ninth highway district gets a
larger appropriation in population j
than many other districts. North j
Carolina people get more for their
road money, he said, than any other
spate's population, and this opinion
is held by many tourists andi resi
dents of other sections.
Theta are two things which will
spoil ^roads, water and politics.
Very little can be done about the
first, he said.
A survey of the needs of Western
North Carolina in road construction j
was given by Col. Pratt who stres
sed the advantages to be derived
from co-operation, county with state '
authority and the citizens with both
besides the necessary co-operation
between each county and its neigh
bors.
The nucleus of a permanent good
roads association was former) at the
meeting Tuesday, with the apr
mcnt of one man from each of the
counties, represented at the meet'ng
as director.
T. H. Shipman was appointed for
Transylvania.
MEETING OF TOWN COUNCIL
Owing to illne-s of several mem
bers of the coun^l the regular niee
tini was posponej from Monday to
Tuesday night.
J. S. Bromfield appeared as a
committee from the Chamber of
Commerce asking the aldermen to
name all unnamed streets and fur
nish markers for all streets. Not
wishing to bear alone the responsi- j
bility of naming streets, the ma; or I
asked the assistance of the Chamber
of Commerce. This is of ourso
an important matter. Everyone
will be glad to have the streets na
med, but not every one will agree (
that the names selcted are good ones ?
Parking space is becoming a pro
blem here as well as in larger plac
es. After the first of June the bus
es will not be allowed to park on
the streets. Messers. Ashworth and ,
Silversteen have granted the use of ;
their lot,' corner of Main & Caldwell .
streets for parking purposes provid- 1
ed the town will clean it off.
The dog ordinance must have been
forgotten.

The highway from Brevard to

pieces of heavy work that it will
Uka some time to finish , but the
contractors promise to have and
keep the road in good traveling con
dition after June 1st.
A number of calls for State Road
Maps have been received in the last
?ew days. More copies still 0n

A number of new members this

"Golf in Wonderland" is a very

More and varied booklets connec

nia and many other places.
The supply of reading matter
grows bigger and better every day
Many inquiries for board, cot>
tages and rooms' are being received
Many inquiries for real estate
Some deals are being made, and
some others are being lost, on acc
ount of too sudden and too large
boosts in prices. It is well for the
property owner to get his moneys
worth for his property. On the
other hand, too many deals are kil
led by exaggerated boosts in price.
It looks like a crowded season for
Brevard. There will be more and
better roads. More bus lines. More
accomodations. More amusements
And, we are satisfied, more, better
and larger crowds of tourists for
the season.
If you have any information for
the secretary, phone 121.- If you
want information, phone 121.
The Board of Aldermen is enga
ged in checking up the streets, str
eet names, and making preparations
for putting up the street signs. It
is to be hoped that the numerous
unnamed streets and alleys shall be
given names tha< Brevard will be
erlad to perpetuate.
In the streets already named, we
have England, Jordan, Morgan ' Cal
dwell, Projjart, Gaston, Johnron' and
Wh.tnr.ro and Rice, remembering
old citizens in the early drva of thr
town. Among other ol citize
were: Hume, King, Erwir., Lar* i(
ford, Allison, ?."?lson, Duckwo;-.'.! '
Bosse, ,and doubtless many others. '
It would also be appropriate to
name some for waterfalls, streams,
or other natural features. The on
ly names of that kind we have at pre
sent are French Broad Avenue.
The old name of the road from
main street toward Rosman was the
Cashiers Valley Road.
This whole section was part of the
Cherokee Indian Boundary, and for
a long period, the one highway thru
the sect-on was known as the Chero
kec Trail. ^ Would it be a good idea
to name one of the streets Cherokee
street? The old Indian names cou
ld be used to advantage for any num
ber of names.
It should be easy for the Board
of Aldermen to provide names eu
phonious and agreeable to the ' ear, 'l
and at the same time to perpetuate j j
names, places and persons of real <
historical interest to the town and
county.

The Choral Society will hold an
important business meeting Monday

THE PRAYER CORNER
"Our Bisen Lord's Appointments"
"Lo I am with you always."
Jesus makes appointments with
us to meet us at times of prayer in
church services, at the holy comnua
ion, at some holy^ tryating place.
Some times we do not think these
appointments very important and
are easily influenced to omit them.
We never can know what we lose by
these failures or neglects.
Jesus Always comes where b*
asks us to - meet him and gives bless
ings there to those who have been
faithful in gathering to wait for him
We do not know what we may misA
by staying away from any appoint
ment with our Master.
The Risen Lord's promise to hi*
disiciplea when he sent them forth
is one of great comfort, "Lo I ui
with you alwayB even unto, jthe end
of the world." If Jesus had given,
his commission without adding hia
promise, his disciples might well
have shrunk from going forth to
the work to which he assigned them
but having his promise they could
not hesitate.
This assurance was not for the
first disciples only, he says to us al
so, "I am with you always." In
what sense is Christ with us always?
It is not merely as our departed fr
iends are with us in the sweet mem
ories of their lives. It is a real and
personal presence. He is present
with us as he was with Mary and
Martha when he came to them that,
day after their brother had died^
He is present with each one of usr
not only on the bright days but on
the dark days. Let us believe in
the Actual .Presence of Christ with,
us and then let us act as if we belie
ved that he is with us. This is the
Secret of Christain Power and Chria.
tain Peace.
A Prayer
O thou risen Christ, our blessed
Lord and Muter, we think thee foe
thy precious promise, "La I am with
you alwayB" May we never neglect
or omit .thy appointment whether
it be at times of prayer, at chut-clfc
service, at the holy communion or
at some holy trysting place. We can
never know what we lose by our
failure or neglect. We believe that
th oudost always come to the meet
ing place and givest blessings to:
those who have been faithful in ga
thering to wait for thee. May
never stay away from any appoint
ment with thee our Master.
We know and believe that thoa.
art with us always, not merely as
our departed human friends are with>
us, in the sweet memories of their*
lives, but as a real and personal pr
esence. Thou art present with ua.
as thou wert with Mary and Martha^
when thou earnest to them that day
after their brother had died. Thon
art present with us not only on the
bright days but on the dark ones.
Oh help us, thou mercififul and'
gracious One to believe in thy actual
presence with us and then let us act
as if we believed it for it is the pre
cious secret of Christain power and
Christain peace." Amen.
