Items From The Ruralite
July 20, 1926
Mr. Carl Jamison, of Glenviile
was in town last Friday. He said
that work on the new school build
ing is progressing rapidly and that:
be believes it will be finished be-i
fore time for school to open the
first of September.
By the time that this issue of
the Ruralite reaches its readers no
doubt Highway No. 10 will be
just about finished or at least
the concrete will be poured, and
new detours opened which will
shorten the distance and give much
better roads to travel over and a
great deal more cf the concrete
will be in use. I
When this road is finished one
may leave Asheville and have aj
hard surface road all the way to
the Georgia line, with the excep
tion of only a few miles, which are
in good condition.

For Good Economy, Use Foods
That are Plentiful in Market
By ALICE DFNHOFF
EVEN during normal times, we
huve a fetish when it comes to using
foods that are in profusion at the
local markets. Nature selects the
right time for her bounty and so the
time to eat the various vegetables,
rreens and fruits is when they are
in abundance. Comes the time of
eon?ervation and high-prices, this
becomes a better-than-ever practice.
All of which leads up to the won-1
derful golden harvest of sweet pota
toes now ip the market.
