CIRCULATION-2000 t VALIM FARM" IS GREAT SUCCESS Reported by LANK).: The play, "Valley Farm," staged at the gigh School auditorium last Frt day evening, was a decided success, and good talent was shown by th characters, who acted more like pro fessionals than amateurs. Coach Yonce deserves much credit for this and other plays which he has gotten up. Each one of the participating characters was well Suited for his or her part Miss Zada White, who played the role of Alvirah Holcomb, sister of Si las Holcomb, was very well suited for the part she played, being one of the principal characters in the play. Miss Evelyn Hinkle, in the role of Lizy Ann Tucker, who never gossip ed, carried out her . part well. She proved that she was no gossiper by knowing so much about everything. MAYBE she did not gossip I 'Miss Edith Downs, as the hired girl on the farm, was perfectly ludicrous. If a person did. not laugh at her dry, humorous remarks, then that person most assuredly had no sense of hu mor. Everett Frisby, the young lawyer from New York, did his part well in straightening up the tangled affairs in the case, and played his part ad mirably. Miss Daisy Worley, as Isabel Corn ey, niece of the young lawyer from N. Y., was a good selection for the part she played. Everett Tweed, a son of the 3oil, was simply splendid in the execution of his role, this part being very true to life. Everett was another of the principal actors. Miss June Tweed played her part unusually well. Miss Tweed is a , aplendid actress in. every play in Mr. Hipps is survived by hla widoW who was Miss Sara CogdiU, and three sens, Dr. A., T, Hipps, physician, W. H. Hipps, attorney, and Rev. J. B.

' The deceased was. born! in the Spring Creek section ' of Madison County. His parents had , removed there, from Leicester in Buncombe County before the Civil War. He was a successful farmer as well as a minister. During the early years of his life he was a magistrate. His decisions were o well regarded that he served as trial magistrate for the . entire Spring Creek section of Madison .County. Later he became interested in pol itics and for a number of years serv ed as Chairman of the Board of Edu cation of Madison . County. It was under his administration that Prof. R. L. Moore was placed in charge of the school system of Madison County, He was also the prime mover in the building of Spring Creek hight school Mr. Hipps entered the ministry when 40 years old. He was Modera tor association for about 20 years.

The users of electricity realize from their last bills rendered that they were from 50 to 100 percent more than they had formerly been. It appears that Marshall heretofore had lowest rate for electricity of any town in the state and the high rates seem to be rather exorbitant to what has been heretofore paid. Mr. Hendricks reports that a reduc tion was procured on current used for stoves and frigidaires and such like uses where separate meter is used from 10c to 4c. The rate heretofore wW 3c straight For industrial pur poses where persons furnish their own transformers and fixtures the rate was reduced to $1.25 per horse power per month. All other requests for reduction were denied. It is understood that the new com pany is putting in an electric line from Burnsville to Marshall and Mar shall will be supplied, if this is true, with its electric current from Burns ville. Electricity being produced at Burnsville by gasoline engine and a small water power. TJu P. .1' Power & Light Company has recently put in a line at great expense from Marshall through Yancey ' County' to Spruce Pine in Mitchell County. It will be seen that the current is sent from Marshall over to Spruce Pine from the big plant pn ttrljem Broad River and the current that Marshall uses transmitted iVom Burnsville produced by the methods jbove mentioned. It is 'stated that an inventory showed that the assets of the Madison Light & Power Pom pany, exclusive of the franchise when sold to the present owners was actu ally worth about $15,000. If thia ik true they paid $40,000 for the fran chise granted the Madison Light. & Power Company by the Town of Mar shall. It is now claimed by the pres ent operators that they must make some profit on their investment. In the meantime the people of Marshill and the other towns and patrons in Madison County must pay the bills. Of course the rates must necessarily be increased to pay the present own ers a profit of any kind on their in vestment. $40,000 for franchise, an invisible creature and for forty miles of transmission line, gasoline engines, etc. Tuoday, January 17, 1928 1:00-2:30.

Coward said Mr. Hipps turned to him and remarked about the narrowness of the road and then slumped over dead. The boy stopped the car before it had a chance to run oif its' course. A heart attack was believed to be the cause of his death. Mr. Hipps had been a Baptist min-1 ister in many churches throughout , For once at least, the men folks of Mars Hill have enough pie. Even the boys were permitted to take a second, third or f ourth, slice with impunity. The occasion for what perhaps will go down in the. annals of Mars Hill as a record consumption of this fav ired sweet was a pie supper given Monday evening by the Pertnt-Teachers As sociation for the benefit of the high school library. The' pies came from the kitchens of the ladies of the town and community, each expert contri butang,,her favorite 'brand. And such an array of ' pies of ' such a tempting:' variety was never before seen by even the oldest citizens. This event was one of the many held by or given under the auspices Of the "Parent-Teachers' Association recently, by which ..that organisation naa xosierea some ' civic enterprise. One of the recent achievements of the association has been the improvement of the grounds the grammar-school and the high school and the' purchase of .' standard Jplaytround equipment Then present aim is to .provide, an ad equate library for the schools of the town.; ' i"?-ri A,iir -tSZ ir The organisation is beaded by Mrs. a. n.

He was born on Spring Creek, and was 69 years old. , He is survived by his widow, and three sons, Dr.. A. T. Hipps, and W. H. Hipps, an attorney, both of Ashe ville, and the Rev. J. B.

The present is the second year in which there has been a distribution of seedlings from the Department nursey, and already though the plant ing season has just started, the de mand for the young trees has reach ed almost half of the available supply. There are applications on file with ' F. H. Claridge Assistant Forester, and nursery manager, for more than 100,000 plants of the 237,000 that will be available for farm planting. At the same rate of requests the supply will not nearly be sufficient to . supply all of those who wish to en gage in forest planting activities, and it will be necessary for the Depart ment to fill the applications in the order in which they are received. Under these conditions, it is desirable that all applications be sent inta the Department as early as possible. -Realizing the steady rise in demand for seedlings for restoration, the De-,: partment is making plans to enlarge the capacity of the State Forest Nur. ; sery, and it is probable that the num- , ber of available plants for next year will be around half a million. 1st ' many of the States where nurseries; have been maintained over a long" period, the demand for planting baa gone into the millions annually, and it is considered likely that there wilt be fully, as large a need in North Carolina.
