"WHAT A >'HAME"
Editor Brevard News:
It sure is a pity that a keeper, 'of
a restaurant sho'.iai be called on to
face the- mayor .' "he mayor's court
- because he ion-. ??:?<<{ it" a go??i deed
when after the "lire- last Monday
night, he served Members of the tire
department with ho' coffee and .soup
after twelve o'clock;
Coining, back from the Pee, the
engine stuck w the red mud right
belo>v- the Stau -s plac<? and after
working hard in the com and being
exposed, it was after twelve when
the engine was brought back to the
shed.
Isn't it desen:n^ a VOLUNTEER
FIRE DEPARTMENT to be served
with hot ration-, at a restaurant,
though it was way in the night, and
-the new town ordinance calls for all
restaurants to be closed at twelve?
Th" Bremen are giving their , time
and labor, do: a- good deed for
humanity, not a --ftmjr a red copper
in pay. but. b?*.:ng exempt from
street tax. A hard night's work like
last Monday night is Worth more
than the exemp*:on of this tax.

SUCCESSFUL BIBLE CLASSES
? ? ? ? ? ^
The Bible clacs which have been
in progress at t he Baptist church
for the past two weeks, under th
efficient leadership of Rev. Hns(ga:.
of Grand Rapids, Mich., had the
closing services Sunday night.
The classes were well attended
from night to night, and those ii.
regular attendance were of one ac
cord in expressing the opinion that
much benefit was derived from t hi.
series of Biblical study. Rev. Hag
gai has at his command several lan
guages and proved himself to the
people of Brevard as an exception
ally fine teacher of the Bible. He
has read the Bibie through twenty
times and is able to quote large por
tions of it from memory, giving the
exact location as to chapter and
I verse. Rev. Haggai will receive a
j hearty welcome back to Brevard at
any time he may see fit to return.
A contribution amounting to $150
was given to Rev, Haggai.
