Keep Up Brevard's Clean Up Campaign Make it Permanent BREVARD NEWS Let's Strive for Better Homes In Brevard VOL. XXXI BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA, APRIL 29, 1926. No. 16 FARM NEWS By L. A. AMMON Glad to state that I over estimated the damage to the fruit crop. Many places came through with a half to three? fourths crop. ^ The later frosts have killed some of ^ what was left, but from the heavy bloom we can spare all the earl> blooms and yet have a heavy crop. Gloucester shows some new ground being put into shape this year. Glad to see some new lands added to our farms, to make up for the land laying idle in realestate deals. Reids Siding is feeling good over the sub-division in their settlement, as it promises to bring them a good road to the main road. All seem to be free in giving right-of-way for the road. ^ Chicken truck comes Thursday. Heavy hens at twenty-five cents, and leghorn at twenty-four cents. Get rid of your yellow leg hens now. Colds are wide spread among both people and cows at this time. A good common remedy for the cow is three or four tablespoons of ker sene in a drench and some under the throat. Pnuemonia salves on tongue are also good. I have taken lots of colds from cows, and you may too, so be sure to wash hands with soap, after handling the cow's head, and especially avoid letting her breathe in your face. The Fletcher Lime mills had a break down and will not be able to supply crushed lime for sometime yet. Many new houses on East Fork gives that section a feeling of a come-back, and here is hoping they will get a good road to help hold those now building. A few planted some corn last week and many are planting this week. Willie Allison was the first to finish as usual. Dogwoods are a good thing to go by, and the best time for planting is just ahead. The amount of seed sold in che county does not yet indicate any over production in garden truck. Likewise we are short on pigs and milk cows. Mr. Berryman of Rosman, has the largest potato acreage this year. He has fourteen acres planted, and does not depend on the local mark et. If we had fifty such producers we could do some marketing. While the auctioneers yell and hammers blow, keep the plows go ing to keep our county well bal anced in the makings of wealth. PARK ADJOINING DEPOT IS BEING.

THE PRAYER CORNER BETTER HOMES? THE IDEAL HOME Never aim lower than the high est. The ideal homo is the ea.stle of a genuine love, the tower of our enthroned friendship, the -citadel of every pure joy, the walled city of every sacred relationship and the round table of social communion for all the highest forms of human inter course and intellectual exchange: for here we may find a womans heart, a husbands strength, a fathers wisdom, a childs awakening consciousness, an infants smile, ami the kindling touch of a neighbors loyalty. The foundation of an empire is the home. The strength of a re public is the home. The glory of civilization is the home. The crown of a true church is the home. The stability of the nation pivots on the home. "The nation rests are. the cottage,' said John Bright. Oh, the home life! How the memories of the old homestead come sweeping over us I The crown jewel of the home is expressed in one word ? Motherhood. That is a beautiful picture in thi charming book entitled "The l.itth Minister," where the young clergy man conducts his mother up t hi garden walk to the quaint old Scot tish manse. Sometime ago, there died in New England a plain woman of honest purpose and Christian principles who had lived for her children ti the exclusion of every luxury, ami at the sacrifice of every persona advantage. She had never seen : railroad train, never wore a sill dress, and never taken a vacation Her sons had struggled a* hard a the plai nwoinan of the hills, and t all of them success came late. Tin noble woman has passed on, but V er four sons are living today. One was governor of a slate, one a United States senator, one an hon ored member of the legal profession and one the head of a great financial institution. In the light of such splendid social evolution, mother hood stands forth as a supreme sue; cess. But fatherhood is not" less sacrc.l than motherhood, linked, there are three crown jewels in the treasure casket of the home: Fatherhood. Motherhood and Childhood. The strongest jewel is Fatherhood. 'I I"- ' brightest jewel is motherhood. The dearest jewel is childhood. Civ ilzation rests on the home, and I h- : home pivots on the child. Herein you may find the mathematics of life. Your life begins with Otn ? Individually. Your home begins with Two ? Matrimony. Your fam ily begns with Three ? Fatherhood. Wifehood. Childhood. Childhood in the home is as the sheen on the surface of silk. Then is 110 1'ght like that which kindle in a childs eye. There is no color like that which blooms on a child cheek. There is no music I'ko the sound of a childs voice. Margaret Fuller, holding her firstborn in h;-r arms, exclaims, "I thought I knew what mother-love was. but I nev.-r knew it till now." A man never travels so far that he gets beyond the shadow of the o! I homestead, and most men never rise higher than the ideals worshipped there. The writer who referred the poet Bvron. as half God and half devil, may not have known that his father was a spendthrift, and his mother the incarnation of a temperamental which bordered >-a insanity. -Harriet Martmean speaks thus of her early days: "51;. had no spring. 110 violets, no early flowers." In the hour of Loves Consecration the soul can find no better covenant with the people of Cod than th.-'t expressed in the words of Ruth. (Ruth 1:16-17.) A PRAYER FOR BETTER HOMES 0 Thou of whom every family i 1 earth is named, preserve, strengO - en, and sanctify to us, we boson 1 Thee, all the bonds of affection an. I fellowship with which Thou h-i-( g-irt our life. Let that love whic 1 is natural, be moulded and niau ? mightier through ,a deepening sen- ? of Thy FaOherhood, and our broil ? erhood with men in Jesus Chris , that lifted into the community 01 Thy Saints, and fosVrcd in the fan (continued on r;.ge two)
