Mrs. S. I'. Mcffarrell, 75 years of 1 j
age, nuV-her of Mrs. Sam Radford, |f
came to Brevard from Ashtville last I !
Monday in the Howard airplane that's
is working this community now. The I
Brevard lady had been visiting in M
Asheville and decided to come homej
through the air. It was her 'first

PRESERVE, PICKLE,
CAN, EVERYTHING
Dry Weather Hurts Crops ?
Prepare Pastures Now,
Is Advice
(By J. F. CORJBIN, Agri. Teacher)
The mountain section of the state
has been unusually hard hit with dry
hot weather this past few weeks.
This fact is likely to cause people to
let up on late plantings of gardens. j
We are apt to have plenty of rain;)
from now on, making it possible to 'i
grow an abundance of food crops if ii
we will only get busy and plant <
them at once. 1
While some crops may yet be ]
planted, the most important job now ,i
is to preserve, can, pickle and store
away those crops which are now go
ing to waste on the farm for winter
use. Governor Gardner in speaking
to the agriculture teachers in con
ference in Raleigh recently, asked
that the people be urged to not let j
the abundance of vegetables and '
fruits now in the state go to waste
but that they be preserved for win
ter use. This would be a continuation
of the Live-at-Home program, and
the most important part of it. With
the amount of unemployment in tha
state and the possibility of this con
dition existing for some time, we
should certainly prepare to live at
home.
Get That Pasture Started Now
A good pasture is absolutely essen
tial for any Live-at-Home program.
The spring pullets will not lay those
high priced fall eggs without green
food.
For temporary pasture: sow mix
ture of rye, wheat, barley and
vetch. A good permanent pasture is
essential to any kind of live stock
program and the pasture must come
before the stock does.
For permanent pasture: sow the
following seeds per acre and fertil
ize: Orchard grass, 4 pounds; tall
oat grass, 4 pounds; white clover, 1
pound, and Kentucky blue grass, 10
pounds. |

COURT ADJOURNS I
UNTIL DECEMBER 5
Judge Harding came to Brevard ^
VIonday morning, opened the July- f
\ugust term of Superior cour for v
;he trial of civil cases, was in ses- v
lion a few hours, and then adjourned
intil the December term. There were I
>ut 21 cases on the docket for trial,
?nd many of these were not ready,
ind continuances were asked by the)
itigianto. Jurors that had been sum- g
noned for the term were on hand f
>ut none were used. 9
Quite a number of cases on the r
:ivil docket have been disposed of in c
;he General. County court during the r
>ast weeks, and this contributed to s
?he fact that but few cases, compara- s
lively speaking, were waiting for g
;rial. Some of the cases docketed, it f
s said, are for the purpose of ta"king t
ion-suit and removing from the t
;alendar many cases that have been c
ianging for a long time.
Judge Harding left Brevard m (
?nid afternoon Monday. I,

FOR ALL 1929 TAXES
Advertisement of the tax list
of unpaid taxes for 1929 will be
gin in next week's paper. Post
ponement had been made for

COUNTY ROAD WORK
NOW BEING PUSHED
Communication received by the
county commissioners from the
board of road commissioners state,
it is said, that the road board will
accept the budget for the new year's
work as adopted by the county com
missioners. At first ,when the com
missioners reduced the amount
asked for by the road board by
about one-half, word was given by
road board officials that proceed
ng in court would be instituted in
in effort to force the county com
missioners to o. k. their budget, esti
mate. The road board officials now
;tate that they will accept amount
illowed and do whatever work that
?an be done with this sum.
It is said that work has already
)een started on roads and bridges,
activities beginning Monday morn
ng of this week. This work will
iiean much to the county just now,
)oth in improvements to be made on
he county roads, and in giving cm
jloyment to citizens of the county
vho are now without work of any
cind to do. The road force is now on
he Camp Perry-Ann road, between
iVilson bridge and Pisgah forest.
"ANY PEOPLE ARE
COMING HERE NOW
People are flocking into Brevard j
low in large numbers, Miss Alma I
Trowbridge, secretary of the C'ham
>er of Commerce, asserts. On Tues
lay of this week people arrived from
'iglit different states, and it is pre
licted that August will witness a
;reatly increased number of visitors
lere. The second month of the
?amp life in the community begins
Monday, and it is said that several
rnndred people will come to the
amps for the month of August.
The excessive hot weather pre
vailing throughout the country is
lerving to drive people away from
he lowlands in large numbers, and
irevard's appeal to the visitor, tne
ine accommodations to be secured
lere at such reasonable prices, the
leauty of the mountains and valleys,
he abundance of cold, clear water,
ombine in making this the most ap
lealing place to the visitor to spend
i vacation.
It is believed that boarding houses
md hotels will be well filled during
he month of August, and if the
iresent rate is kept up, it will not
>e long until . all houses will be filled
vith visitors.

COUNTRY IN GRIP
OF INTENSE HEAT
Drought Felt Throughout the
United State* and In
Foreign Countries
Extremely hof and dry weather is
reported all over this country, and
foreign countries are likewise suf
fering. Records for high tempera
tures are being shattered in all parts
of the United States, reports of 100
and above being the rule rather than
the exception. The corn belt in the
Middle West reports great shortage
in that crop due to the long dry spell j
and the excessive heat, while other I
crops in various sections of the I
country will likewise suffer great I
shortages. Wheat, that had had its I
growth and most of it harvested be
fore the drought became so acute,
| will be master of the markets, it is
said , because of shortage of other
grain crops.
Reports that trees are dying in
sections of this state are made to
state officials, while fish are found
dead in small ponds created by the
dwindling streams, leaving the fish in
the small puddles.
Many deaths from heat have been
reported in various sections, while
a large number of people have
drowned while seeking relief from
the heat in bathing pools and run
ning streams.
Recent rains in Transylvania coun
ty have relieved the situation. It has
has not been nearly as acute here a.s
in other counties in Western North
Carolina. This county is noted for
its great rainfalls, and the numerous
streams that come from the moun
tains in every section of the county
serve to keep moisture in the air,
even through a long drought. While
the weather here has been consider
ed extremely hot by the native cit!
zens, the visitors coming in from
sections where it is really hot assert :
that the people here ought to be j
thankful for the weather experienced
here. Citizens of the community
whose work take them into other
sections also praise loudly the cool !
weather here in comparison to that i
experienced away from here. i
Weather reports issued during the i
past few days give promise of re- i
lief throughout the country, asser
tion being made that the long
drought has about ended, and that i
rains will fall in abundance within
the next few days.
NEW UNDERTAKING
ESTABLISHED HERE
Announcement is made that the
Brevard Hardware and Furniture
company has added an undertaking
department to their husiness , the :
rooms adjoining the hardware and !
furniture store having been remod
eled especially to house this new de- ?

department will be made on Satur
day, August 9, while the company ?
will be ready to respond to calls on
Saturday of this week The rooms 1
are being arranged in approved man- ?
ner, the first room to be used as a :
funeral parlor, the second as "a '
"laying out" room, with larger quar- i
ters in the rear for storage of a full '
line of caskets and coffins. 1
Sheppard, of Hendersonville, it is J
announced, will do the embalming <
work, while Messrs Moore and Os
borne will attend to all other de- ]
tails of the new department Full ,
details of the enterprtoe will be an- ,

Announcement is made that the I
Rev. Moultrie Guerry, B. D., chap
Iain of the University of the South, ,
will preach at St. Pnilips Episcopal
church here next Sunday morning at i
11 o'clock.
LACE ALLEN LOSES
HIS SUNDAY COAT
Brevard's meanest m?n hue been
at work.
Someone stole Laco Allen's coat,,
his Sunday coat, the coat that
matched his Sunday britches.
Lacey came to The News office
with request that assistance be given
him in recovering hia stolen prop
erty, and the pathetic itory he told
is somewhat as follows, as nearly as
it can be put into print:
"My coat, it hung in the gororg,
jist behint the postoffice. A scounrel
stole it frum me. Hit wuz my good
coat, what matched my Sunday
britches. Hit Bad in it all my rale
astate papers, hit did, and I'm fear
ed they'll be destructed, fur a feller
what 'ud take a coat 'ud tare 'em
up jist fur sin. Hep me git it back
er I don't see jist how I can git
long."
Any assistance given Lace in re
covering his lost coat will be a genu
ine act of friendliness toward a real
ly deserving colored man who works
faithfully at his job as janitor of the
Postoffice building here. It is, in
deed, a tragedy for Lace, and the
-eturn of the coat would mean much
, 0 him.

REALKTATENOW
MOST ACTIVE HERE
Real estate in the town and county
is beginning to change hands in a
manner that bids fair, if it contin
ues, to create real activity here. On
Tuesday of this week there were
more deeds drawn, signed and de
livered than had been noted in any
month's period during the past
twelve months. Willie this activity
has been increasing slowly during
the two or three weeks, " the spurt
came Tuesday, and practically all
the lawyers in town were busily en
gaged in preparing deeds and writ
ing the papers necessary in the sale
and exchange of property.
People wno know real values ex
press the opinion that property can
be purchased here now at a price
that will not again prevail in the
next quarter of a century, and the
men with vision are taking advan- '
tage of the situation and are buying ,
now at the low price.

Susie's Eand, appearing at the
3igh School Tuesday evening, prov
!d to be ore of the most interesting
iffairs ever presented here by purely
oca! talent. The big crowd, despite

:s," that may always be expected in
iuch events, gave hearty applause t?
he several numbers presented, ?>nd

juartets, were greatly enjoyed, most
>f the songs being old time songs
.hat always prove pleasing. Frank
3arr, as "Madame Karinsky," made
i great hit in singing "O Promise
He." It would be difficult to pick

;oe whole paper. They were good,
each and every one of them.
The whole affair was woven around
the courtship and marriage of Jim
