Let us help you FARMERS SUPPLY CO. nzrexf BIG CROP It drills each passing year, is pointed out by a writer in the current issue of the North American Review. It is the crisis in country life which is ap proaching as a result of the disap pearance of the country doctor. In 1900 there were in the United State 33,000 physicians in towns of 1,000 population or less. By 1924 this number had dwindled to 27,000 and it is still going down. Almost one third of the small towns that had resident doctors in 1914 have none today. Medical education and training grow more expensive each year;- The vast majority of medieal graduates, seeking to recoup their expenditures, enter urban practice as specialists jin one branch or another of their profes sion. Just what can be done to remedy matters is not clear; obviously, it is a problem that heeds some very serious consideration. . The country doctor is one of the most overworked men in the world. Day and night, cold and hot, winter and summer, he has, to drive over all sorts of roads to reach his patients. In the majority , of cases, he is his own druggist; surgeon and consulting specialist. In many cases life- or death depends on the accuracy of his diagnosis which he makes alone, with out the sustaining aid of a fellow physician.' ' BRIDAL COUPLE HONORED GUESTS Lovely in every detail was the dinner Monday night with which Mrs. Will Sloan and Mr. Fred Sloan honored Mr. and Mrs. Dick Tones whose marriage was recently solemnized in New York City.

SURVEY OF NONUTILIZATION WOOD IN NORTH CAROLINA DO YOU KNOW -that 33,000 rail road cars, or-a train 265 miles long, could' be filled ; with wood which now goes to waste annually in the. saw-, mills and wood-working plants in North Carolina, is the question asked by C. Grant Isaacs, District Manager of the Carolinas Office of the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domi e stic Commerce. In the form of lumber this material would represent the production from about 113,000 acres of , standing timber and would build nearly 50,000 small dwellings. THIS FACT was determined in a survey conducted in North Carolina by a sub-committee of the National Committee on Wood Utilization, in cooperation, with the North Carolina Department of Conservation andl Development under the honorary chairmanship of the Governor of North Carolina and having Deuben B. Robertson of Canton, North Caro lina as. its chairman. After 10 months work the survey has just been completed, and the results are published in a bulletin having the above title. NONUTILIZED WOOD WILL FURNISH raw ' material f or pulp mills, fiber board plants, box , fac tories and similar industries and mav be used in the manufacture of small dimension stock, charcoal and distil lation products, lath excelsior, and other materials. The bullettin des cribes these methods of utilization. THE REPORT INCLUDES sug gestions for the elimination of waste and for utilizing wood; that is now wasted. An appendix includes charts and tables showing the quantity, kind and species of nonutilized material reported bv the state and by each county. The name and address o( each firm that"" reported nonutilized wood is listed, together with the quantity, kind and species available at each mill. A large m.p folder shows the distribution of hardwood and softwood waste bv counties and gives the location of the firms which have reported nonutilized wood. The man also shows highways, railways, and navigable waterways. C r-r' pf "Q1 MMr of Xn-n - THE FLIGHT OF TIME We take this opportunity to extend the visiting Shriners, the kindliest Welcome. One hundred years ago Macon became a county and it has taken just exactly a century, for the outside world to learn of the opportuni ties that lie within the confines of the county. Only recently have the big power companies learned that 100,000 h. p. of hydro-electrical en ergy has been going to waste in Macon county. Only recently has a big railroad company seen the necessity for a through line from Knoxville to the coast at Savannah. Only recently have the farmers learned that new farming methods bring dividends. Only recently have the tourists learned that the climate and scenery of Macon county are unsurpassed. The flight of a century has brought less changes for the better than will be noticable within the next five years. Now is the time to investigate and invest in Macon County. - ''--;.,,-,- ::-:r:-:::;v'-:- MACON COUNTY SUPPLY CO. FRANKLIN, N.
