I OTHER SMifil IS SET FREE BY MAYOR ? ^"ther Smith was tried in Mayor nitmire s court Monday on a charge of cutting Mose Kemp, and was found not guilty, in that it was clearly proven to the court that Smith was acting in relf-defense when attacked by Kemp. It will be recalled that the affray took place at Greasy Corner three weeks ago and the negro Kemp was taken to the Hendersonville hospital, from which place he has just been re leased. It is said that Kemp bears the reputation for being a vicious man. while Smith is said to be a hard | working negro who attends to his own businers. Kemp w ;.4 found guilty on a! charge of oeing drunk at the time of the affray and was fined by the mayor. Th j mayor's decision' was highly approved by citizens who know of the circumstances and tho i reputation of the two men. Hamlin & Kimzty appeared for Smith.

HOSPITAL WORK !3 j MAKING PROGRESS Committees working on the com munity hospital proposition make favorable reports and express the belief that they will soon be over the top. Members of the committee are working faithfully to secure necessary support to warrant the re opening of the hospital. Responses ( of the people, the committee state, ?how clearly that this community full;." afprocir.tcp the value of a hos pital and there has been much coii ccrn felt during the time Transyl vania has been closed. Fear is be ing expressed that serious accident or distressing illness might find the community unprepared to give ! proper attention to ths victims. E S. P.-T.

[A sample of the cream is placed i n - this jar, and the lids of these juis | have numbers on them. This number iis put in a book. The cream and [ran are weighed and the er-am 1 poured intp the large cans furnished by the company, then the empty, can 'is Weighed and taken, from the t.-tal, leaving just how many pound- of cream. At certain days the lr.rge cans are brought into the creamery, [where tho little jars are fished out, as they are put in the. largo cans, and each one tested. The nut is reported back to the merchant stat ing them by number. He also gets a check for the cream he brought in. Then the merchant n akes out chocks for bis ]>eople, deduetinp . whatever is decided on, usually one cent for each pound of butterfat. October crop report did not help the price of corn, but was such that it did not harm the price any to speak of. Some think corn ?will be up ten cents or more, while others feel that it will do veil to hoi;) to this year's prices. For potatoes there was a drop of five million bushels, and the l.wkfit is reported as "Steady." Better hopes for a comeback after the dig ging rush is over, say about Decem ber. Chickens are up some as expected, and the market is now making a dif ference between Leghorns and hvavy breeds, also between friers and hens. Heavy hens in good order now 20c; Leghorns 18c; friers from 2 "'3. to :i lbs. are 20c and 21c lb. SI ti Mason, of Gloucester B.idf, is well pleased with top dressing cab bage with soda at beginning of hvad inp. Says quality is better, as well as larger yields. Sam Brown, of Calvert and others are having trouble with pips from pneumonia. Seems to be the "catch ing" kind, and if it proves to be. it will pay to have them all vaec'nstcd at once. The same trouble that pigs and cattle had last spring and some all through the summer. Vaccinnt ing is about the only remedy. The bees of John Tinsley have been sent to a long hunting pround, and other beekeepers can now feel safe. The disease does not harm the honey on the least, as it only af fects the bee in worm stage. If you have carrots for sale ar.l not spoken to me, do so at once, ?s we wish to see how many in the county. Some inquiries* for b:ggies now, and hope cooler weather will bring a good market.
