Apples ! Apples ! Apples !
ii wc nave no more irosi a jremeu-
dous . apple crop for Macon County-
looks likg a certainty.
What can be done to market, the
crop profitably? Most of the trees
have- not been properly Sprayed, cul
tivated, pruned and fertilized to pro
duce first grade or even second grade
fruit. When the great orchard sec
Hons have good crops it is not an
easy task to sen perfect apples.
If Macon County had the neces
sary machinery, equipment and cap
ital to manufacture and store,, jelly
apple butter, marmalade, vinegar and
evaporated app! es, no doubt there
will be e.noug.1 apples produced in
Macon County if profitably marketed
to pay all the expenses of churches
and schools in the county. Shall we
let thecrop waste? County Agent
Arrendale is getting information on
the best ways to solve the problem.

The people of Rural Route No. 1,
wishing to express their thanks and
appreciation of the faithful and un
tiring service rendered by Mr. M. F.
Jones as their mail carrier during the
past eighteen years, on Friday, May
16th, presented him with a nice rock
ing chair as a slight token of their
regard. Mr. Jones is the oldest car
rier in the service here, and having
now reached the age of 65, will be
retired by the Government on pay
after his long and faithful service.
The Womans Club entertained at
the home of Mrs, Tom Johnston, Fri
day afternoon, May 2nd, in honor of
its President, Mrs. W. B. McGuire.
In anticipation of the event,, there
was a large membership present,. and
Mrs. Johnston as a most gracious
and thoughtful hostess, made the oc
casion truly a,, delightful one. The
home was lovely with its decorations
of crab apple blossoms and as nearly
as possible the color scheme of pink
and white was fully carried out. Af
ter a short business meeting, Mrs. J.
Q. Wallace presented1 with very appropriate-
remarks to Mrs. McGuire.
a beautiful copy of Rheims Cathedral,
from the Club, as a token of appre
ciation of her faithful service during
past, years. Mrs. Wallace's words
were well chosen,' when she empha
sized Mrs. McGuire's loyalty and ef
ficiency, and it may be added, that at
times under discouraging circumstan
ces, through her patience and tactful
ncss, she has 'held the little band of
'faithful workers together. .'
After lli c business meeting, the
guests were' invited to the , dining
room, where' delicious refreshments
were ' served, 'Mr?. Gus Leach and
Mrs.. Will Sloan were asked to serve
the coffee and tea.
' The members were disappointed at
not having Mis Kelly give a talk' at
this 'time, but hope we can have this
to look forward to in the fall.
The Club will disband for the sum
mer, . meeting again the first Friday
in. September, at the school house.
Don't forget that refreshments will
be sold both nights that we have
commencement exercises. Do your
bit' to help with the piano fund.
Mr. Frank Higdon, of Cornelia,
Ga., is in 'Franklin this week visiting
friends and relatives.
Mr. Lester Williams, of Aquone,
was in Franklin on business one day
this week.
Spend your money w!tn your home
merchants. They help pay the taxes,
keep up the schools, build roads, and
make this community 'worth while.
You will find the advertising of , the
best ones in the Press. !
Word was received here the first
of this week that Mr. Henry Cun
ningham, an old Franklin boy who is
now . living at Durham, N. C, is
seriously ill following a stroke of
paralysis. Messrs. E. K., W. G. and
Roy Cunningham and Mrs. W.-T.
Moore left for Durham to be at his
tcds:ue. Last reports indicated that
his death was expected at any mo
ment, but his many, friends here are
anxiously waiting in hope of receiving
news that he will take a turn for the
better, and recover his health.
That portion of Harrison Avenue
between Church Street arid Main
Street is to be paved along with the
other street work now being done.
Workmen are now busy doing: the
excavatin-g for the rock work, and it
is expected that the paving will be
pushed to completion without delay.
This is a great improvement for that
part of town, as it will afford a
paved short cut between our two
most important streets, and also will
furnish an easy way of getting to the
Methodist Church in bad weather.
Franklin was threatened with
water1 famine the first of. this week,
when the town pump was out of com
mission for three days. Fortunately,
both tanks were full to the top, and,
the pump was put in running shape
late Wednesday afternoon, and was
running again before the water level
reached the bottom of the large tank.
The pump is now in first-class con
dition, all worn parts having been re
placed by new ones, and for all prac
tical purposes is as good as new.

Mere Money From Farm.
Arc you taking advantage of the
apportunity afforded by the Federa
tion cream routes? Doubtless you
have often remarked- that you were
! too far removed from the market to
make it worth while to try to market
cream or vegetables. .
The Federation cream routes solve
this problem. They bring a market
,to your door. The extra milk you
may have can be turned into a cash
i item. You . may have vegetables and
other products which would not war
rant your taking them to the market
yourself but if proper use is made of
the advantages offered by these cream
routes you would be able to turn the
surplus inlo spending money. These
cream routes oner great possibilities.
There is no doubt. of the fact that
they could add greatly to the inco'iu'
of every farm if they were used to
best advantage;
A -little cream, 'a few eggs and a
few surplus vegetables will not make
you rich but they will afford an addi
tional income that always' fits well
into the program of the' average
farmer, his wife or the boys and girls.
Make the most of these cream
routes. Farmers Federation News.
(At this season of the year many
farmers bring butter to town and
can not sell it. If their cream could
have been shipped To a creamery it
would 'have brought them from 35 to
40 cents per pound for the butter fat
it contained, rlie 1 Macon. , County
Farmers' Federation has a truck and
could make tome cream routes pro
vided the farmers Would get together
and assure enough business to justify
the undertaking.)
AH-Year Farming.
Kccently when passing through the
great trucking section near Norfolk.
Va., where early vegetables were be
ing moved by the car load our com
panion remarked : "Thes,e farmers
farm all the year; they. never. stop;
just as soon as one crop is marketed
they have another on the way,"
The cooler climate of this moun
tain section will not permit some
phases of trucking as practiced
around Norfolk' but the "all-year"
farming idea can be more heavily
stressed in. the mountains. Far too
many of our people farm about six
months in year. They have no
year 'rouuet income from their farms
and as soon as the crop is over they,
go out on public works. They have
no cows, no poultry and no vegetables
to produce a regular and systematic
income. We are making progress
along these lines, but we have a long
road to travel befor we can boast of
having made the most of "all-year"
farm opportunities. Farmers Fed
eration News.
(A few years ago corn and wheat
were the principal rcops of Macon
county. Now we find red clover, soy
beans, stock beets, snap beans, cab
bage, and. Irish potatoes are fast be
coming important crops. Tomatoes
and celery should soon be added to
the list.)
