Many will be wanting the best
? r purebred cocks and cockerels, next
V spring, that they can .net. We have
some very good blood in the County I
now, and many tine prospects will !
soon go to the meat market if not
sold for breeding purposes. Dan,
Merrill, Mr. Lowe, and others will ,
be glad to swap chickens with those j
wanting better blood. . Some want
two pounds of poor blood for one ol
theirs, another wants reds or rocks
for his, and various trades can be
made. These men are not afraid
of competition, and have the p?ul
try business of the County at heart,
and rfiake these generous offers to
? help the poultry program along. j
Whether to cultivate or not eulti-j
vate when there are no weeds and j
the surface dusty, has been the j
leading question Cor the week. We j
cultivate to kill weeds and keep a !
dust mulch to preserve moisture, i
These two things being done, you j
have done your part, so do not waste '
your time and turn . what little I
moisture you have up to the sun. j
As soon as it rains and a crust is j
formed, then cultivate.
The queen bees were shipped in J
last week. One to Mr. Tom Me-;
Kinna. two to Mr. Luther Aiken, ;
and seven to David and Riley Mer
rill. That means better biood and
more honey. The bee business is
growing fast, but not half enough
honey for home use yet.
The patent hives give fifteen dol
lars per hive, while the old gum or
box hive average one fifty per
hive, in the same yards. Mr. Mc
Kinna had orve queen and her house
hold that produced 150 pounds of
honey, worth $1 1.25. This was an ;
exceptional good queen, and it is
our desire to weed out the old and
poor queens and out in high bred
queens.
This County was allotted ten
dairy bulls to be brought in during
I would not
the dairy campaign.
promise a hard campaign tiiis year,
but anyone wishing to buy a good
bull, will help the County's .record
by buying now. and at a time while
the market is lined up for setting
the animals in car lots t" nearby
stations.
Jackson County
We will need feeders from Jack
son County next fall. That county
has not been T. B. Tested, so we
ean not run over and bring in a
bunch as usual. If you know any
of the officials over there, urge
them to have their euult- tested, si!
we can do business with ilwui.
Rain is. hitting all around us, and
we expect ours any day.

One of the outstanding and more
recent of the many subdivisions sur
rounding Brevard is that of French
Broad Park, a community of 500 j

southern boundary of the property, j
through which the Southern railway [
and State Highway No. 28 both |
pass. Good surfaced roads with i
easy grades lead to each home and ]
all are connected with the main |
paved highway.
The development when completed
will accommodate 2,000 people, with
its 500 cottages of three, four and
five rooms, each located on a large
lot overlooking the beauties of the
surrounding mountains. While the
homes are mainly of the rustic
type and vary in outside appear

REVIVAL STARTS
AT METH. CHURCH
NEXT SUNDAY, 13
REV. THURSTON B. PRICE TO
HAVE CHARGE
Rev. Thurston B. ? Price, general
evangelist of the Methodist church,
South, with his party will hold a
two week's revival meeting in the
Brevard Methodist church, starting
next Sunday morning June 13.
Dr. Price is an able preacher and
draws large crowds with his unique
style of presenting the old-fashion
ed gospel, and never fails to hold a
successful meeting. Several years
practice at the bar as a successful
criminal lawyer has given him a
style of appeal that is most irresti
ble.
It is considered very fortunate
that Dr. Price could be secured for
Brevard, since all his dates were
taken for large cities and he was
able to come at this time only
through a shift of dates.
It is hoped that the meeting will
be a union meeting of all the chur
ches, pastor and people, and is
assured that if .all will co-operate
no one will have occasion to regret
it.
NEW SWITCHBOARD IS
INSTALLED BY LOCAL CO.
The. Citizen's Telephone Company

company.
A detailed account of the various

supervise the work of the boy in
combined effort with and through
the backing of the Woman's Bureau
in its earnest attempts toward keep
ing the town clean and attractive.
The ladies also requested Mr. Jami
son that he enforce more rigidly the
ordinances regarding the throwing
or sweeping of trash on the streets
and sidewalks.
The Bureau went on record also
of endorsing the establishment of
the proposed school for illiterates in
Brevard, and voted to pay its pro
portionate part in the expenses
thereby involved. The four wo
men's organizations of the town
have voted to endorse the creation
of this night school to be held in
Brevard during the fall and winter

the Franklin Hotel, attended by
forty Kiwanians and their ladies,
was a happy aft'air. W. E. Breese
welcomed the ladies and following a
custom of Kiwanis to introduce |
guests at the beginning of dinner,
the ladies were presented soon aftev
entering the dining room. During
the evening every lady and Kiwan
ian was called upon S or a minute

made, particularly by the ladies. I
Miss Knwena Orr presided at the

courtesy of W. E. Breese, a radiola
was installed in the dining room and
at intevvals many stations broad
casting musical programs were
tuned in, adding much to the enter- 1
tainment of the evening.
The continual flow of spontan
eous wit for which President Breese
has made an enviable reputation,
was decidedly the life of the first
"Ladies Night." Other meetings to
which the ladies will be invited will
be held throughout the year.
LAW OFFICES OF R. L. GASH
ENTERED; SAFE PILFERED
Unknown persons entered the law
offices of R. L. Gash in th'- Breese
building some time from Saturday
night at 10:30 and Monday morning
and opened the safe, bursting the
strong box and leaving strong evi
dence of "knowing their business.''
All doors leading into the offices
were locked and windows fastened
Monday morning, according to Mr.
Gash, no trace of entering or leav
ing being left by the intruders. N-i
papers were missing from the safe
many valuable documents being left
untouched.
Mr. Gash was known to have had
currency to the amount, of $8,000
in his possession Saturday, and this
is thought to have been the motive of
the would-be thieves ? thinking pos
sibly to make a haul. However, no
money had been left in the safe.

THE PRAYER CORNER
A DAY IN JUNE
May I share with you, my dr.- <?
friends, a swoet poem by .James Rus
sell Lowell? The true mission of
poetry i.s to increase joy. It mus.,
indeed, be sensitive to sorrow, and
acquainted with grief. But it hai
wings given to it in order that it
may bear us up into the ether of
gladness. That is why I ask you to
share Lowell's poem with me, that it
may increase your joy ami bear you
up into the ether of gladness.
What is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days,
The Heaven tries the earth,, if it bo
in tune
And over it softly her warm ear
lays;
Whether we look, or whether wo
listen,
1 We hear life murmur, and see i"
glisten :
Every clod feels a stir of might.
An instinct within it that reachca
i and towers.
And groping blindly above it for
light,
Climbs to a soul in grass and flower
i The flush of life may well be seen,
| Thrilling back over hills and valleys,
| The cowslip startles in meadow,
gffreen,
| The buttercup catches the sun in its
chalice,
j And there's never a leaf nor n
blade too mean
I To be some happy creature's palace.
1 he little bii'd sits al his door in tin
sun,
A tilt like a blossom among lh
I leaves,
And lets his illun.iiled being o'er run
With the deluge of Summer it re
ceives.
His mate feels the eggs beneath her
wings;
And the heart in her dumb brea. ?
flutters and sings. -
He sings to, the w;de world. ami -Iv.
to her nest.
In the nice car of Nature whir!
song is the besi?
