To The Citizens Of Madison County Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to announce myself as a Candidate for the office of Sheriff for a second term, subject tc your approval at a primary to be held on June 7th. : Tif ma k tngj-nia announcem en t, 1 wish to express to the Citizens of Madison County, my appreciation for their hearty co-operation i n aiding me in the discharge of my duty during my term as sheriff of Madison Ceunty. A Crime cannot be suppressed, the law enforced, thp homes, schools', and churches pro tected, withcut the assistance of the Citizenship of the County.

April -From fbld workers of the extension di vision come reports that there U an alarming-surplus of eggs oow being produced by the farm flocks of North Carolina. Unlessthese eggs are dispost-d of io ad vantage by the farmers, the extension workers feel that the growing of poultry as an important part ' of the safe farming program advo cated by Collego and department vorkers will, receive a setback; therefore, they be preserved in water glass or in lime water for use in the winter when eggs are I scarce and high in price . . . . Itis pointed out also by DrM5.J F. Kaupp, head or tne pounry. works of the State College Ex periment Station, that eggs fur nish a perfect food. They are rich in minerals, proteins, faS and vitamines. This is proven, he 8ay9, because thev produce a perfect animal, the chick This being the case, every one could use eggs to advantag n the diet Nor do the egglose any of the food value because they are plentiful and have decreased in price. They may be used in a great var iety of ways and are always nourishing and health giving. It is urged, therefore, that housewives all over the.State use more eggs in the diet during the next few weeks' and. also buy them when they are fresh from the farm for preserving.." The exiension division has published Extension Circular Number 87 which gives definite information as to how the eggs maj be pe served. Many people are now following the methods outlined in this circular and saving eggs for the winter, months. .

State espe cially the western portion, in dicated that plowing was behind the southern and eastern coun ties have most of their land faily well prepared.

As I pass through balmy woodland And through grassy meadows sweet. Tell me not this inward thrilling Can be caused by human'f eat." Optimistic And Pessimistic Views The most frequently recurring statements-of pessimism came from the northwtrlTn and southeastern1 counties This seemed to be pri marilydne to the prices of farm products being low, with labor high in the first area and to the weather bainglate and wet, ( together with boll weevil problems in the sonth east. The labor scarcity seems to be a trying factor any where. The optimistic omments carte primarily fromv the northeastern and southern count ks. These were lareely to the good fruit prospects and favorable outlook for " coltoh and peanuts'. - - ; v . - . . 'Frank Prrker, State Statibt.eian. . ' The Body of a M&n by The Name of Pendland Found in Tbe Cotton Mill Dam at Marsb&U Sunday Evening; Two brys about seven o'clock Sunday Evening1 while looking for ducis' in' the Cotton Mill Dam at Marshall found the dead body of a man among the drift and trash just above the mill dim at Marshall - The boys notified Big Chailie Ramsey and Claud Hendercen who went to the body in a boat and suc ceeded in getting it to the bank. They wired the Chief of Police of Asheville and Monday morn ing about eight o'clock a woman and man came down from Ashe ville in a car and immediately identified the body as that of a Mr. Pen'and, who was drowned nc:ir Asheville about the first of January : 1924 T h e ' woman was the widow of the deceased man. About the first of January 1924, Penland and two other men were engaged in hauling sand but of the river in a boat It appears that the boat struck a rock and capsized, and although Penland was a good swimmer he was drowned. It was thought he was caught under the boat The other two men swam out The river was searcned three or four weeks and ecplosives used to try to locate the body, but it was never found until Sunday evening the time men tioned, Theboby had been in hjriver all this time and was airly well preserved. " ''w"-w Messrs Ramsey and Hender son had quiet a tug to get the body ashore, as the body was lodged near the dam and the river was swollen and it wjs quist difficult to keep the boat rom going over the dam. . Ramsey and Henderson stay ed with'body on the tank of the river all night. Ths body -was taken to Asheville M o n.d a y morning by friends and relatives or burial. Fire Waste According to recently publish ed figures, one city 'dwelling is destroyed by fire in the nit(d States every four minuses. Farm buildings are burned at the rate of one e'very seven minutes. One hospital, five churches a id five school houses burn down every day. ICvery day 41 persons lose their lives and 47 are injured by1 fire.
