September 23rd, 1918 : The local board of exemption, for Haywood county, N. C, has appointed a board of instruction consisting of two men of each township. The duties of this board are to assist registrants and their families by giving infor nation as toj the laws covering. war risk insurance, family allotments, disability, compensation, protection of civil rights and other laws, passed by (Congress) for the protection ef men drafted into service and their depen dents. a Besides this , the board also gives registrants preliminary "Drills." This will not get you into the army any. Sooner, ,:bt . wll prepare you to make the most, of your, opportunities lot you.snoura pe caiiecu r or tne. im pose of these drills the county has beem, divided into fourteen districts. each district under two, members, cit- raens oj this district tO;Je assisted by dther. members !:jttf the board of, in struction and member or members KJUMd f M JWWtK.tt whom they may designate to help eon duct district drills. The district places of meting for drill i will be at the armories, voting places, or such places as may be designated by the members of each district. ' Drill masters will be present ready to assist and instruct the registrants on days set a part for drills. It is suggested and requested' that regis trants wil drill at least once a week, the board suggests that the drills be held every Saturday beginning on Sat urday September 28th, 1918 at 2 o'clock p. m.' Fast time. Besides the drills there will be talks by good speakers in regard to sub jects of interest in connection with the war. Every man can take part in the drills, but the unmarried men part icularly are urged to take part. It will not get you into the army any sooner in fact the man who shows an interest and doesn't try to be a slacker is the one who will get the most con sideration when the time comes to call me nto camps. The men who goes to camp knowing some thing about drills will have a much easier time than the man who doesn't know any thing, therefore it is to your interest to get as much instruction as yoj can if there is any chance that you ir-ay be called. That is if you are registered, whether old or young, married or single. The members of the board are giving tneir lime 10 neip our registrants, won't you cheerfully do your part and let them help you by coming to these drills. This action of the board is in accordance with bulletin No. 427 from the AdjuWt general's office, received by him from Generald E. H. Crowder, Provost Marshal General, Washington, D. C. In the near future our state will be visited by men to inspect our work, in the various oounties of the state and we want Haywood t) be not only 100 per cent, but above par. Do not get discouraged, keep it up until you know how to drill. Any in formation or instructions that can be given by this board will be given freely. - - - . . , , R.. A. L. HYATT, Chairman.

At the circus, at the fair, you will find mnch people there Who will rubber-neck and stare at attractions everywhere. List'ning to the ragtime tunes, tseeing rubber, bright balloons, Eating ice cream, without spoons, watching monkeys and baboons. Theer are men and women, too; and the youngsters, not a few, ' With no better" thing to do than to see this trav'ling zoo. Talk about your jays and cranks; here we sit in serried ranks On some hard and narrow planks, watching clownish acts and pranks. Some, of ancient, graver schools, who have puritanic rules, Fain would tell you we are fools,who watch horses, apes and mules Which were,trainW to do their tricks throwing victims, or by kicks, Or the tumblers, as they mix, or the clowns with their slap-sticks. But to these I would reply; who's the judge of you and I? ' Must we work and save and sigh every moment till we die? Is it right to never stop, in our office, or our crop, Like a high-speed, spinning topwhich runs down and goes kerflop? Theres'' time for sleep and time to eat we seed to eat both bread and meat; We need? some acid and srooe sweet, some work and rest for hands and feet God's plan for man is always best; and it provides, for work and rest, . And if you pot it to the-jtest you'll see it has. some spice and. est. One day for rest and sixJfoV toil; but during all the week's turmoil, : Vou must 'not swelter," sweat land boil until they plant you in the soil You must have changes, night anil day You need to rest and "hit the lay" ' ' ' -" .;-' -f ---i., ,--. "is ttKMst-tj-- You need to meet the crowds, yoti For no one is so fully blind as those who never cease their grind.

Brevard Institute Sunday School The passing of Eustace Leatherwood from this life to that beyond, causes us to stand with hearts mil heads bowed low. And while we pase in the pre sence of this deep grief to ctpiess to you our sorrow and loss, wh;ch to you is manifold greater, yet in our grief the record of his life bids us have hope. As members of Brevard Institute Sunday School, we wish to n press cur very great appreciation of his work in our Sunday school both us siiieien tccdent and worker. Enthusiasm, a kindly spirit for all, coupled with ef ficiency marked his efforts so that his brief life was not 'without frui, was not in vain, and ' while we weep and mourn deeply with you for his loss let ye also rejoice in our mutaul hope which is anchored to that within the ve'L Christ Jesua. ' Sympathetically, - Brevard Institute Sunday Schol AdelpHiM Society. Leatherwood, the Adcrphian Society of Brevard Institute has lost a capable and loyal member; a faithful co worker, One who was always on the side of law, order and a competent president. In loking back on his five years of membership, we cannot re call one time when the society eelled upon him for service which he refused to render.

To Clyde had many visitors from a distance Tuesday who came to see the biggest thing in the' way of cattle shipments which may be seen in this part of the country,, the loading of about 700 steers which are sent to the valley of Virginia, where they will be finished for marketing.' It took about 80 cattle cars to hold these cattle which'' were mostly handled by Gwyn'.dc Hipps, some of them being experiment cattle, wintered in the open by Mr. F. T. Peden at the Gwyn farm at Springdale, on upper Pigeon. This shipment was not bo large as the one last year when moving pict ure men were present and made films which were shown all over this and in other states, but as there ie to be anothereattle show at Clyde in Oct- there will be another shipment at that time. The two shipments will in clude many more cattle than were shipped Wist year. Besides the num ber shipped is as large as the rail road sheds at Clyde will comfortably accommodate. It was wel worth a trip to Clyde to see so many fine steers, many of them weighing from 1100 to 1200 pounds each, and there were many automobiles there from Asheville Canton, -Waynesville and other places with passengers who were surprised at the number and fine quality of the: e caUli . If you ikIksc-I this big shipping ;:!ivw be sure to go to the tile show i:t Clyde in October when you may see something along the same line and in addition sec some fine, pure bred cattle- from nil over West ern North Carolina. NOTICE TO TEACHERS The North Carolina Board of Health will send a nurse to Haywood county for two weks to assist the county inspector of schools in examining the children. These examinations cannot be made until the teachers have com pleted their examinations and the cards returned to the inspectors office More than half the teachers have failed to send in cards, though the law required them to do it last year. I am afraid some of the teachers will find themselves in a position of con siderable embarrassment if this in difference to the law is kept up for just a few more weeks, I have pleaded with the teachers for more than a year, to get these examinations made and the cards returned and I heroby give notice that any teacher.?, whose school -was not examined last year, failing to bead this notice, will be laced at the mercy of the North Caro- na Board of Health, an organization that has recently brought many in dictments. Get the cards at my office at once. J. R. McCRACKEN.
