Lying within the limits of Mad ison County are Approximately Bff.OOO acres of Government owned and optioned and approved lands. These acres are in the IPisgah National Forest, and are in the strickest sense, the peoples' proper ty. Their taxes go to pay the ex penses of their administration and protection. What do the people get from such an investment? Any tax-payer may well ask such a question. ' .A few benefits which the people in or ad jacent to the Forest purchase bound ary may derive from the forests are: 1. Watershed protection from un- Droken lorest cover. A certain 'old lady left a note on her front door which read: "Will be gone for two wesks. Callers please leave names." She was surprised upon hel' return to find listed on the scratch pad she had affixed to the note these n'ames: ''Herbert Hoover, Franklin Delano Rousevelt, Alfred Mossman Landon, George Bernard ShaW, iMahatma Gandhi, Haile Selassie, and Mickey Mouse."

At tne conclusion 01 tne ser vice, announcement was m'ade that the body would be interred the fol lowing! morning at ten o clock, if the weather was suitable, and it w'as. A striking and im pressive coincidence waa the fact recalled by residents who attended the funeral of the daughter a num ber of years ago that similar weath er conditions prevailed then, mak ing it necessary to delay interment until the following day. Among relatives and friends from a dis tance who attended the funeral were Mrs. Olin Flowe and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beaver, of Charlotte, N. C, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Sprinkle, and Mr. J. T.

It is unfortunate that the facts under 8, above, are known by so few citizens. Actually there are county officials whose counties have benefitted from the 25 per ceni scnooi rund and who have been unaware of such benefits. The fund is apportioned among the counties adjacent to the forest. The money derived from such fund is small now because the Oovernment owned lands in Madi. son County were severely cut over and burned oyer (before passing into tne ownersnm ol th Federal Government. The potential benefits mat Madison County may derive , from timber sales in the future are great. It is merely a matter of time and protection -protection from fire - when the 25 per cent fund will mean a great de'al.

Ministers Of The New Found Association Ministers of the New Found As osciation, your officials have author ized the fifth Sunday meeting of all the ministers in our beloved associa tion and the Clerk to call a meeting which will be at Antioch the fifth Sunday in November, 1936. The office of the Ministers pre sents an appeal to get together and study their task and discuss their problems, to see the opportunities and accept the responsibilites and start a great upward movement and swell our Sunday Schools nd churches. Romans 12:1 "I beseech 'you therefore, brethren, by the merci'S of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, . acceptable into God. which is your reasonable strrice-" Men sometimes talk about giving up things and awaking sacri fices for the Lord work, bureiy, they efcovht apologise U the Lord every time they are tempted to make each remarks. (Jhristiaa people should come to their task willingly, gladly, and cheerfully and throw off any shackles which hold down and keep men from investing their time and talents in eternal things. 'May this appeal find its way to all the ministers in our association, accept the challenge and give their best. Once only in the vast cycle of time, Shall I move 'mid these scenes so cherished; " But the deeds that I do whether poor or sublime, , Shall stand till the- world hath perished. Shall stand! And faces I never shall see, And Mves that I cannot guess, Shall be false or true me, The above :cartwon has just been sent The News-Record by the North Carolina Committee for Tax Re form Amendments to illustrate its argument that the tax on a man's home is the only form of tax in North Carolina on which there is no exemption of any amount, for any debt, or for any age- On personal property an exemp tion of $300 is allowed. On incomes, $1,000 to $2,000. On inheritances, $10,000 to a widow, $5,000 to each minor child. On inheritance taxes on life insurance, $217,000 to oi rect heirs. On poll taxes, every body over 50 years of age. From solvent credits, an exemption equal to all one's debts. And from sales taxes basic foods were exempted up to 1935 and will be after 1937. Continuing, th committee says: Not only doe government in North Carolina make no exemption for any amount of real worth one may have in one's home, or for any age or condition, but government goe further. On a $1,000 home a man may owe $990 but we ta for a full $1,000 $990 of debt and $10 of equity.

Lees McRea was defeated 18-7; Appalachian 13-7; while the best Mara Hill could do was to defeat Lees MdRtea 6-0 and Appalachian 1ST 7. Mars Hill has another ConJer- ence victory to her credit, a 13-S win over Campbell. Abbey is using the Notre Dam system through and they are coach ed by a former Notre Dame quarter back. They have the fastest back field combination in the state, tis ing a great deal of deception and being very proficient with th forward pass. The outcome of thia game should have much to do with th st.it e conference race as botfc teams are undefeated and untied. Another feature of the prograia. is that this will be the Homecoming game for the year. All former foot ball players that have ever played at Mars Hill are invited to see thi game free. They are asked to r& port to the gymnasium office by two P. M., so they may secure their tick ets. A larger number of Alumni other than former athletes will also be on hand for the game.
