IN CELEBRATION
Asheville's greater department

anniversary, this store having been
founded in 1889 by Solomon Lipin
sky. The business is now operated by
the three sons, Morris, Louis and S.
W. Lipinsky, since the death of their
father in 1925.
The Bon Marche, which is a four
story building in the heart of Ashe
ville's business district, has experi
enced rapid growth during the 40
years of its existence. Its growth has
been marked by vast progress along
all lines, necessitating four moves
into larger quarters during this pe
riod of time. The high ideals of the
store's founder are still upheld by
the three sons.
This department store has served
well the needs not only of Asheville
and its growing population for all
these years, but is destined to be of
even greater importance in the fu
ture growth of Asheville and the en
^ tire Western North Carolina.

iFARMERS TO MEET
I AT ALLISON FARM
By J. F. CORB1N
| The writer is setting Friday, Aug.
: 2nd, as Farmers Day, to visit the
, fertilizer demonstration on Mr. Car]
; Allison's farm. This fertilizer dem-j
' onstration was put on under the di
| rection of the N. C. Experiment Sta
tion for the purpose of finding out
| what is the most profitable kinds and
i amounts of fertilizer to use under
corn in this section on river bottom
land. This is the first time for a
test to be run in the section by the
experiment station, and we feel that
it was needed very badly. It costs a |
great deal to run tests of this kind j
in sufficient size and accuracy to be j
of real value and the average farm-;
er does not live long enough, is not
financially able, nor knows how to
run them. There are 14 separate
plots in the test, all fertilized differ
ent and every fourth row no fertil
izer at all. Some of the corn is big
and some little, some medium
come and see it. The writer will
stay there all day Friday and be pre- j
pared to tell you all about it.
KUESTERS SPEND j
DAY IN BREVARD |

and while he has done yeomanry
service for his immediate commun
ity, his activities have not been con
lined to the Charlotte territory at
all. His influence has been felt in)
every pogressive move made through

It is believed Mr. Kuester and
family will return to Brevard dur
ing August for a stay of several
days.

POWER LINE WORK
MAKING PROGRESS
Sub-Station Nears Completion
? Lines Being Strung
Through the Town
Work on the' sub-station of the
Southern Public Utilites company is
progressing rapidly, while the force
of men stringing the feed wires from
Hendersonville are far ahead of their
schedule, and have the wires already
within the town limit, and will be at
the sub-staiton within a day or two.
The lines run from Hendersonville
to the sub-station in Brevard which is
being erected near the Sapphire Cot
ton Mill property. Forty-four thous
and voltage will come over the wires.
The Soutnern Public Utilities com- 1
pany has made no announcement i
for publication as to their plans in
Brevard, yet the fact that the com
pany is coming into the town, and
the further fact that the Duke
interests own large boundaries of
land in the Toxaway section on {
which are many fine streams and |
great waterfalls, cause people herej
to believe that something of tremen- J
dous interest to the county is about ,
to materialize.

sion, thereby indicating their inter
est in the local institution.

well as generous contributions in ;
money, were included in the hospital
shower. Dr. and Mrs. G. B. Lynch,
owners and managing operators of
the hospital, express gratification at
the splendid response of the people
! of the community in their presence
at the hospital on this day and in :
their most liberal donations which,
will be used to the benefit of the hos- 1
pital and to the patients confined]
therein. Quite a number of the
summer camps located in and near
Brevard were especially geenrous in
their donations of money, it is said,
expressing thereby their apprecia
tion of this necessary institution in
the community.
The events of the day opened with
a business meeting of the Hospital
j Association, presided over by the

?Jman, Miss Martha Boswell; secre
tary-treasurer, Rev. R. L. Alexander;
' chairman of the Hospital Guild, Mrs.
, D. L. English and Guild secretary,
? Mrs. W. W. Ray.
A program of unusual interest had
I been prepared for the event, and its
i presentation was considered of an
j> unusually high order, all of the
speakers making their remarks both
timely and appropriate to the oc
casion. Rev. A. L. Aycock, pastor of
the Brevard Methodist church, op
ened the program wj?h prayer, after
which Mrs. I. N. Hobson, of Tuska
loosa, Ala., gave a humorous read
ing, entitled, "The Joys of 111
Health." Rev. W. H. HartselT, pas
tor of the Brevard Baptist church,
spoke on the value of the hospital in
the life of the community, and of
the necessity of cooperation and sup
port on the part of the people in or
der to keep it in continuous opera
tion. I
Dr. John K. Lacock, of the Boston!
School of Expression and Dramatic
Art, made a few remarks, congratu- J
lating the people of Brevard on be
ing enabled to have in their midst
such a splendid hospital, telling also
L something of the courses of instruc
, tion offered at his school which is
! now conducting a summer session
j here.

Greenville, S. C., was the principal
1 speaker and made many valuable
' suggestions to the association.

course was engaged in, and an in
! spection of the hospital on the part

ly equipped institution.

charge, expressed appreciation of
the "hearty response given by the

Chief Freeman Drafted for
Cast, But Refused To
Play Part In Show
Marrying Marian never married,
even in the play, rehearsal af
which lasted until the wee *mnll
hours in the morning before the play
was scheduled for the next uitrht,
and notwithstanding the fact that
: Chief of Police B. H. Freeman, with
his full six feet six inches was called
into the cast, but wouldn't qualify.
! All of which is to say that a group
of people blew into town the first
of the week, and announced that it
was a musical comedy crowd come
to town to make merry and enter
tain the folks of Brevard. TTieir
play was to have been "Marrying
Marian," and in the play there were
advertised some eighteen people,
among which and whom there were
said to be pretty girls and beautiful
costumes.
Marrying Marian was to have been
presented at The Carolina Theatre,
but wasn't. Ask Mr. Mull. The
group, or troop, stopped at a lead
ing hotel, and, according to reports,
were blessed with good appetites, if
nothing else. Ask Miss
The "artists" were to be wideh
advertised, on 12 by 18 inch post
ers, which were printed for the good
looking bunch, but were not cir- g
culated. Ask Doug.
It was comical ? not comedy ? in
all reality, with a touch of tragedy
thrown in- The villian of the play,
plot, or polygot, got mean and bad
all too soon, and crabbed the play.
Before midnight Tuesday night, and
after midnight Wednesday morning,
the members of the cast blew up,
and Chief Freeman was called in,
but they had blown so high that even
fhf lengthy proportions of Brevard's
best could not reach them. After
blowing up, they blew out. and -'.ico*
the dust of Brevard from their lit
tle tootsiesj and there will be no
Marrying Marian around here.
