AMMON Sick cows on the increase. Most of them affected alike. Down or stiff in the walk, and if it lasts long cold in the head or throat. The cause seems to be some form of forage poison. Symptoms resemble , that caused by wickey. .As in any case of poison, get the :ause out of the system as fast as a pound of epsom saltz can move it. To help the saltz add a teaspoon of ginger or some other smarting element. For the weakness in the back give one to two ounces of nitre per day till relieved. This seems to pick on the kidneys, which causes the lameness or soreness of back. Chickens Up Since the Federation truck stop ped coming we have been following the last prices they paid. Prices! have gone up, and besides we are not selling wholesale now. Direct deliveries should be near the cost of laying the same goods down at our station. So based on this, we should be getting as follows: Heavy hens 30c; light hens 27c; colored broilers 45c; leghorn broilers 40c; friers, (above 2 1-2 pounds), same as hens; dressed chickens three to five cents per pound higher. , j A short crop of chickens in Ten nessee is the cause of higher prices plus the fact that the Farmers Fed- ' eration now is. the biggest buyer in j ..Tennessee, and have run their j prices up considerable. Eggs have aiso been slow to j rise, but fresh eggs should be from : forty to forty-five cents to the the \ farmer. The County Agent was in Ashe-j viile Tuesday, looking over seeds, and prices. Glad to say that clover i has dropped so that it now can be | retailed for 35 cents pound. Red top is also dropping on strength of j a larger new crop. It is predicted : that by September the first, one can get this seed for less than thirty cents retail. Next week from Tuesday till j Friday will be Transylvania County. Club encampment time. Let's all : go, as the Kocky Bottom camp will I take care of five hundred. Thrashing has started at Penrose. ? The yields are excellent. Wheat is ! running above twenty to the acre and some above thirty. Rye is also running good. A letter today from the seed man who has bought much of our rye : [ says he can get rye in upper South Carolina laid down at Charleston, . for $1.75, but hopes to do business j with us later on. Penrose is to be congratulated on [ starting the Community Meetings j again. Thursday night they will j meet at Enon school, and a good i program is planned.

FIRE DESTROYS GARAGE AND CAR EARLY TUESDAY MORN A fire of undetermined origin early Tuesday morning wrecked a garage and destroyed a Chevrolet touring car owned by W. W. Mull, of Caldwell street. The blaze also damaged a Buick sedan which was in the garage at the time. Light from the fiercely burning building was seen several miles away, and attracted much attention. W. L. Mull, who owns the Buick icar, risked his life by entering the garage a moment before the roof collapsed and backing his automo bile out of the furnace. Then, with the top of his car ablaze, Mr. Mull sped to the engine-house and spread the alarm. The flames, which mounted high into the air, showered sparks on the roofs of adjoining houses. These did no damage as they were quickly extinguished with ch/emicals and water. Ten gallons of gasoline in the tank of the Chevrolet failed to ignite, although oil in the engine of the machine burned after most of the fire was out. Acording to W. W. Mull, the loss of both garage and car is total, neither being covered by insurance. The machine is completely wrecked, as is the framework garage. WILLIAMS STOCK COMPANY COMING NEXT WEEK The Williams Stock company, [ which was advertised to appear in j Brevard this week, found it neces sary to postpone the engagement until next week. The company will therefore appear in Brevard in nightly performances all next week, beginning Monday night, July 19. An apparent misunderstanding re garding the continuation of the re vival meetings at the Baptist church last week, caused the company man agement, at a considerable loss to themselves, to cancel this week's engagement for Brevard and post pone it untiP next week, the man agement not wishing to conflict with any religious activities in progress in the town. On Monday night one lady will be admitted free with each paid adult ticket. A lady author recommends letter J writing as "a safety valve for lone some farm women." But it has prov en unsafe for a lot of lonesome city men. c ? ... - ? ? ? ... MANY INQUIRIES COMING TO C. OF C.

BAPTIST CLOSE SUCCESS FUL REVIVAL MEETINGS The revival services of the past week held at the Baptist church con- j eluded with the farewell sermon on | Sunday night, the preaching through out the week being done by Dr. W. N. Johnson, of Mars Hill. The song leaders were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jollay. Dr. Johnson proved a forceful speaker, a deep thinker and a conse crated man of God, filled with the chief desire to teach the thruths and principles as laid down in the Bible, and to give a clearer insight into the scriptures. While no additions were made to the church by baptism, the meetings are nevertheless considered a decided success from the standpoint of gen eral uplift and reconsecration on the part of many of his hearers and church members. The excellency of Jhis series of sermons was probably never surpassed in Brevard, and tfc good impressions thereby made will no doubt be lasting in the hearts Bn dminds of many. Adding greatly to the success of the meetings was the splendid and enthusiatic singing made possible by the effect leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Jollay. AUTO ACCIDENT OCCURS ON HIGHWAY SUNDAY AFTERNOON Occupants of two cars had nar row escape from death Sunday after noon, when the cars collided on the highway in North Brevard, one car being driven by Clyde Case, of Bal four, and the other by an unknowi. party from Greenville. Mrsi Case and two children were in the ear with Mr. Case, and Mrs. Case and one son were painfully injured though not seriously. They were removed to Transylvania hospital for treatment, but were released the following day. One lady in the other car was slightly injured. It is claimed that the acciderif was due to carelessness on the p sjM of the driver of the Greenville as was admitted by the driver self. Both cars were almost pletely wrecked. ! COUNTY CLUBS MEET AT ROCKY BOTTOM FOUR DAYS, BEGINNING TUES DAY, JULY 20 TO 23 The Transylvania County club 'meeting will be held at Rocky Bot tom 4H Camp, three miles from the 1 county line, on the Pickens highway. The club camp includes barraeks for girls and boys, kitchen, lights produced by a water wheel, small lake, and the usual equipment of camps. The camp is situated in a cove on a gentle slope, with plenty of shade and beautiful scenery. Roat!o| are good to and from all points. I The entrance fee to the meeting is two dollars this year at time of entering camp. The rent of the camp and the fact that one dollar has not quite covered expenses in past years, is the cause of the raise. Two dollars for four days is much less than cost, but the Board of Educa tion is lending trucks, and the state is furnishing men and women to help, as well as the Home and Farm Agents. This is the real chance for the farm boy and girl to i get a taste of camp life under prcs- 1 ent day methods of teaching and training. ' Parents should give the hard working club member this opportun- . ity if it is possible in their means. It will be worth two weeks to a ' month in school, when it comes to | fitting one for lifts school. Fo. j lack of the two dollars some poo. children will not be able to go, .-o any men's organization that mi;vi: wish to help, can do much good by contributing the two dollars per child. The camp will open at 4 p.m. Tuesday, and the agents are hoping that many will drive their children over during the afternoon, thus sav ing extra trucks, and giving the parents some idea of the place. Bui this is not all, they are also asking that parents and friends visit the camp. Last year there were twenty in the encampment, and the Home Agent is expecting at least fifty oi more this year. Moving picture? will be shown on Wednesday anu Thursday nights. For information: Though the lake is small, no child will be permitted to go swimming without some older one being in the lake. ? L. A.

FORMER RESIDENT VISITS IN BREVARD RELATES INTERESTING DATA j OF FORMER DAYS HERE Mrs. Susan McFarran, of Ft. Myers, Fla., a Brevard resident 01 sixty years ago, is now a visitoi here fo.r an indefinite stay, this be ing her first visit in sixty years. Mrs. McFarran is a native of Bre vard and was before her mania};. ' Miss Susan Thompson. Mrs. McFarran is naturally of the opinion that the changes in the town in this length of time are marve lous and unbelievable, since the majority of the present town sit; was an unbroken area of timbei land at the time of her resident here. "I have dreamed many time: in the past half century or more,' says Mrs. McFarran, "of being back in Brevard ,and now that 1 am ac tually here I find it. hard to rcali' that it is still nothing more than a dream." In reviewing the past, she relates many interesting stories of the cus toms and mode of living here in the olden days. ?"There was only one sewing machine in this whole section of the country then," began Mrs McFarran, "and the owner of ihi machinc did all the stitching for the entire community. We had n-. clocks, but told the time of day by the sunlight on the floor. "And I'll never forget," continued Mrs. McFarran, " the first stove which came to town and of how wc were sure something terrible woulc happen if fire were shftt up in tha iron box, after never having known of cooking anything except in thi big open fireplaee. The one shoe man in the town made our shoes ti order out of rough untanned leath er, and since we had to order then several months in advance and th< making was such a slow process, a person was considered very fortun ate who had more than one pair of shoes in a year." At the time of her residence here, Mrs. McFarran states that the town had only one main street, about twelve residences, one general store, a blacksmith shop and a shoe shop. The nearest railroad was at Green ville, S. C., forty miles distant, or Knoxville, Tenn., and the nearest school and church at Oak Grove or Bethel. Mrs. McFarran's father was during the Civil Wac overseer of Captain Johnson's plantation of negroes on the tract of land of the present site of the country, club and Montc'ovc Estates, and her grandfather Thomp son owned a tract of land and live on See Off mountain. During the latter years of resi dence hen?, Mrs McFarran lived ir i what was known as the old "Red House," now remodelled and owned by Miss Delia Gash. This residence was later used for some years as Brevard's only hotel or boarding house. A number of the present residents of Brevard are former school mate: or friends of Mrs. McFarran, includ ing T. T. Loftis, Ves King, J. B. Summey, J. L. Bell, and others. Her nearest relatives living in this sec tion now are F. Henderson, of tin Connestee section, and Jimmie and Walter Raxter. Mrs. McFarran hastei^M|* dren, and is accoj^fl on THE PRAYER CORNER PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY We need to pray for ou;- coun try. Perhaps we err in making our prayers ordinarily only for our selves and our own little 'world. Certainly our country ought to iiavo a place in the daily supplications of every Christian.
