Three communi ties plan to have booths, aside from the individual exhibits and from the fine spirit of friendly rivalry mani fested throughout the section it is indicated/ that the exhibits will be unusually good. Prof. John Corbin, Iwho is in charge of the fair, is highly elated over progress being made and the interest being shown, especially that of the young people, who have played no little part in the success of . the undertaking.

Two prominent men will deliver i lectures at the High School auditor i ium here Saturday at 2 o'clock in ?connection with the Sylvan County I Fair. j The first of these is Bruce Webb i who will explain the purpose and | functions of the 5-10 Year (Farm Program being sponsored by The Asheville Citizen-Times. This move ment has aroused considerable inter est here and this opportunity of hear- . ing it explained in detail will be wel comed. Immediately following Mr. Webb's speech, John Artz, agricultural agent, will deliver a lecture on swine production. Mr. Artz is widely recognized as an authority on swine, and his lecture will be of especial in terest at this time when so much attention is being given to this work by the farmers of this county and pig club projects are being carried on by the Young Tarheel farmers throughout this section. Mr. Artz will act as the judge in the pig club pro-) jects which are an important part of the fair this year. INSTITUTE BOY IS INJURED BY A BULL Roy Justus, a student in the Bre vard Institute, is in the Mission Hos pital, in Asheville as a result of in juries sustained when he was attack ed by a bull Friday afternoon. His leg was seriously hurt and it was at first thought amputation would be necessary, although later reports in dicate that his condition has greatly improved. It is a part of Jusus' work to feed and care for the animals at the In stitute and it was white in the pen feeding the bull that he was attack ed. The animal was considered harm less and Justus took no weapon with him. Without any provocation the bull struck gt him and dug his horn into the man's leg as he attempted to make his escape. The flesh and lig j aments in his leg were badly torn and | a bone was fractured. Fellow stu j dents, attracted by his cries rushed to his aid. He was taken to the Mission hospital and is reported to be out of danger. TEACHERS STUDY ATTENDANCE PLAN j A county wide meeting of the prin | cipals and teachers of the Transyl vania schools was held Saturday morning at ten o'clock in the Brevard High school building. The object of this meeting was to make plans for the improvement of school attendance. Prof. R. R. Jenkins, principal of the Pisgah, Forest school gave the first, address, pointing out the value and the effect of the enforced attend ance law, and was followed by W. A. Wilson who told how the compulsory attendance law may be enforced. Prof. J. E. Rufty, principal of the Brevard Elementary schools pointed , out how closely school failures ara 1 related to poor attendance. Some startling figures were given by Prof. Jones in substantial i ot his claim that poor attenda^e is a ^ery costly item for the county. Newell to Speak In Brevard Next Tuesday Afternoon at 1:00 O'clock r^r~ T' ? 7I--1 I Hon. Jake F. Newell, Republican candidate for the United States Sen ate, ?will speak >n the Brevard court house next Tuesday afternoon, Octo ber 4, at 1 o'clock, and Mr. Newell invites all people to hear him, He is well known in Brevard, having de livered his famous lecture on Pales tine at the Methodist church here about two years ago, and has appear ed in court here as counsel. Mr. Newell is an ardent prohibi tionist, and is opposing the Hon. Rob ert R. Reynolds for the senate. Mr. Reynolds is for repeal of the Igth amendment, and the contest between the men has developed into a wet and dry contest, rather than strict poli tical party line-up. The Charlotte man is speaking in Eastern Carolina this week, and comes to Brevard next Tuesday, and from here will visit all the Western counties in his campaign, according to the announcement received by The Brevard News. It is expected that a large crowd will hear Mr. Newell, and he issues a special invitation to the women of the town and county to attend his meeting here. He is a gifted speaker, and his advocacy of prohibition makes him an especially appealing speaker for those who oppose repeal of the j prohibition laws. REGULAR DAVIDSON RIVER DAY SUNDAY Rev. R. L. Alexander And Rev. W. S. Hutchinson to Be Speakers. On next Sunday the usual annual celebration of Davidson River Day will be held at the Davidson RiVer Presbyterian church, morning session at eleven o'clock ; picnic dinner on the grounds ; afternoon services shortly i after dinner. Rev. R. L. Alexander will preach j in the morning, and Rev. W. S. Hut- j chison in the afternoon. Davidson River Day has been a i standing celebration at this old j church for so long that memory runs j not to the contrary. Dating back to J the days when the field of this church j extended from Mills River and Cane j Creek (Fletcher) on the east, and in-, definitely west, this meeting usually j has a large attendance from thisj county, and a considerable attendance j from surrounding counties. At this old church, the people liked j the "All-day- Meeting" when Bishop Asbury ? the far famed Home Mis sionary Methodist Bishop ? stopped here in the Fall of the year 1800, and they have liked it ever since. "VVith Mr. Alexander to talk in "the ! morning, Mr. Hutchison in the after- j noon and with the usual "Davidson ! River Day Picnic Dinner," a wonder- 1 fully enjoyable time will be had by all. FAIRSNECESSARY TO FARM PROGRESS! ? ? 1 J. A. GLAZENER. j We find that fairs played an im- ; portant part in educating the people i in the days before the agricultural colleges, experimental stations and extension services. The early fairs had as their principal idea the selling by the barter method of the various products and livestock. In some sec tions of the old country this method is still followed. Here in America the purpose of our fairs is to en- ? courage, stimulate and promote im-j provement in livestock, crops, domes tic development and rural conditions I in general. A good fair is an educa- j tional institution that should prove to be of immense value in developing the agricultural life as well as the social life of any community, county or state. What is a fair? A real fair is more than a place j for amusement, however, important 1 this phase may be. It tells by the j exhibits and demonstrations of the individual or the community what is ? being accomplished. The fair is the i screen on which will be thrown the ; agricultural .and other pictures of progress, improvement, initiative and the application of '"better methods, pertaining to farm life. A fair should jand generally does, show the results 1 of the past year's education as well as affording a social gathering of mu tual interest. Fairs stimulate com : munity pride and interest as well as promote cooperation and the work together spirit. In conclusion I want to urge the good people of Brevard High School district to take an active part in j helping to make The Sylvan Valley I Fair the best yet. If you Iivr in the j upper end of the county be sure to ! be loyal to that section by helping with "the Rosman Commmunity Fair. We want t o promote the agricultural interest of Transylvania county, and are asking the folks, young and old to help us by exhibiting whatever you can that is interesting and worth I while, let it be crops, livestock, canned J goods or fancy work. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO MEET MONDAY The regular monthly meeting of the c6untv commissioners will be held Monday,, October 8, i^ the council room in the court house. j SCHOOL SUPPLIES HERE The instruction supplies for use in j the schools throughoivf the county j have arrived and Prof-.

The revival services conducted by | Rev. Claude H. Moser, of Henderson- j ville, at the Methodist church here are being heard by exceptionally large audiences, which is a source oi great pleasure to both Rev. West, pas tor and to Rev. Moser. The service Sunday night was ad ! dressed to an audiance which taxed j the capacity of the house. Besides the 1 members of the Methodist church, a j large percent of the membership of the Baptist church heard the sermon, Rev Hartsell having foregone his reg ular Sunday night service in order that members of his his church might | hear the Hendersonville pastor. There was also a number of visitors from the other Brevard churches and several out of town visitors. His sermon was a splendid one as have been succeeding ones delivered during this week. Attendance has been good despite the inclement weather ! and a genuine interest is being shown in the revival which will continue du ring the entire week. A special invi tation is extended to those who have not attended to do so during the re-j maining nights of the series.
