Pet Ice Cream tops them all! The Last Run i Oft times I've heard its engine puff | And labor up that long incline From Williets siding to the Gap Along the Murphy-Asheville line. The load was but a baggage car, A coach for passengers like me, But still that grade was all too steep And whclly taxed its energy. The echces of its throbbing heart, Reverberating from the hill,' Foretold its coming long before It hove in sight and whistled shrill, i Ar.d when at last it reached the; cre.t, Its goal attained quite gloriously, And stopped abreast the station's( door, The beil would ring victoriously.; For decades now it's been a part Of rugged mountain life and scene; To give to progress its full share Of service came to be routine. 1 Today that Southern Railway train, Is proudly making its last run; It yields to bus. and auto lines And airplanes too?its task is done. No more we'll hear that engine puff Nor listen to that whistle shrill; That bell will ring no more for us. For decades more old men shall tell The story of that railway train; The part it played to care for us ' This fair retreat from rough do main.

Tom Moss, Jr., of Glenville, has! gotten off to a good start on the! farm he purchased last winter, i He has a field of Sequoia potatoes i that will probably produce at trie rate of 300 bushels per acre of No. 1 potatoes. In addition, he has a two acre field of cabbage that is1 growing nicely and is practially free from worms due to the appli cation of a 5c/c DDT dust. A nice' job has been done repairing his home inside and the job will be done as soon as he can get it un derpinned, and get his screens up. He plans to make his screens in the well-equipped shop of the Vocational Agricultural Depart ment of Glenville High School. Theodore Brooks of Glenville has indicated that he will plant one-half acre of strawberries next spring to see how well they are suited to his farm. He will prob ably plant the Midland which is one of the highest yielding varieties for this section. Anyone else wish ing to secure plants of this variety may see me for the address.
