GILLESPIE'S CHILDREN GATTO At OLD HOME PLXCE MEET IS IN HONOR OF HIS 69TH BIRTHDAY (By Rev. H. F. Wright) On Saturday, August 28, the chil dren, relatives and friends of Mr. J. M. Gillespie met at his home on Twelve Mile River, Pickens County, 5. C., to celebrate with him his 69th birthday. This I believe, is the child time such has happened at Mr. Gillespie's home. Indeed, it has now bccome an established annual af fair and will be looked forward to , ith fond anticipation by relatives and friends. Mr. Gillespie was born and reared on French Broad River in Transyl vania county, where many of his brothers and kinsmen yet live. Hav ing married the daughter of the late Rev. John T. Lewis of Pickens county, he therefore moved to that community where he has resided ,-ince, and has become one of that county's best and most progressive farmers. "Uncle Jimmy" always identifies himself on the right side of every important issue of the day and stands with firmness squarely, but meekly, for the right at all i-imes. So much eo, until he is loved ind admired by al! who know him. ndeed, it seems to be characteristic of the Gillespies to be brave, cour ageous, thrifty, honest, honorable, upright people. Jessie D. Gillespie, a nephew of Mr. J. M., proved to be one of the most brave and courage ous soldiers we had at the front in the late European war. Having been wounded, literally shot to pieces, he . was left on the battle field to die where he was forced to tay four days and nights without food, water or medical attention; during which time he managed to crawl with one hand and foot, flat of his back, for more than a half mile to the roadside, until he could call to soldiers as they passed by and tell them of his sore affliction and beg for help. His cry for aid was heard and being taken to the hospital for surgical operation and medical aid was given. With spe cial attention on the part of both doctors and nurses, together with Jesse's brave efforts to survive, he finally came to health again, but very badly crippled in one arm and leg for life. Notwithstanding Uncle Sam was paying him a splendid liv ing after returning home, he "was not satisfied to sit down and not work. He attended a business col lege and prepared himself to do of fice work and asked the people of his county to give him the privilege to serve them as treasurer of Pick ens county, to which position he was elected and is now filling with cred it. The Gillespies are not only inter ested in the affairs of this life but are religious people for the most part and are leaders in their res pective churches. Mr. J. M. himself is a deacon of Mountain Grove church. Pickens and Transylvania counties are blessed to have such distinguished citizens residing with in their gates. Blessings on them all. ? H. F. W.

SOUTHERN T. P. A. WILL CO-OPERATE WITH C. OF C. IN BRINGING VISITORS 1 T s Traveling Passenger Agent Win. i I. Coughlin of the Southern Railway system was in Brevard on Saturday ? in the interests of the popular ex cursion being operated from thb section on September 17 to Cincin nati and Louisville. Mr. Coughlin was delighted with the improve ments made by Brevard since his last visit. He said the interest in Western North Carolina is con stantly increasing among the travel ing public in the Chicago and De troit sections and in the Middle West through the Cincinnati gate way and the many passengers rout ed through his office last year to the South with stop over privileges in this mountain section, were highly pleased. The inquiries for similai routings this year, he stated, indi cated greater popularity for this section than ever before and the Southern is cognizant of the effort being made in Brevard to interes. tourists to come here and is co-oper ating with the Chamber of Com merce to route passengers to the South with stop-overs at Brevard either going or on the return trip. ALV1N MOORE PRESENTS EX CEPTIONAL PIANO RECITAL j Alvin A. Moore demonstrated ex ceptional musical ability in his piano recital presented Thursday night at the high school auditorium, before an appreciative audience. Mr. Moore, a young man of whom Brevard is justly proud for his mus ical genius, is deserving of a great deal of credit for his unusual rendi tion of a musical program of such high class, involving both hard work and concentration on the part of the performer. Noteworthy of especi al mention is the musical memory exhibited in such an amazing man ner, since the entire program of seventeen selections, all of a more 'or less difficult and lengthy degree, were rendered altogether from mem ory. Some of the characteristic fea tures manifest in Mr. Moore's musi cal performance were good in tone, clearness, facility of runs and grasp of the subject. A wide range of program was presented, from Bach to Chopin. The outstanding selection of the varied program was Scarlatti's Sonata in A Major, which was ably rendered and duly appreciated by the attentive audience. AH in at , tendance were enthusiastic in their praise of the excellent program jrendeved in such a highly creditable manner.
