tree-ripened peaches.

you'll agree that... as to flavor, body, cexrure
and quality... 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.
God grant me strength to serve as
well
My country and my fellowmen;
And when my task on earth is
done
Just let me find like haven then

Holmes and Marion Prince of (
the Caney Folk section have re
cently bought four head of pure
bred Devon cattle. This breed of
cattle seems to be well su.ted to j
our mountain pasture. The Prince
boys arc on the Veterans Farm!
Training Program at Cullowheel
and are very much interested in
good livestock and in the growing!
oi go. d feed crops.
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.
Roy Bryson's crop seems to be
recovering rapidly from damage
of the recent hail storm. His cab
bage and corn has- put on new
growth and h.'s yield will probably
not be reduced as much as thought
previously.
