The exhibits will be staged in the garage building opposite the Hotel Waynesville. The show will be open to the public from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until nine o'clock in the evening. While the dry weather has more or less retarded the growth of the flowers the recent rains have done much to develop them in their usual August glory. -Judging from the numerous inquiries being made by prospective exhibitors, the show promises the usual interest for garde ners and visitors. Members of the committee in charge are quite anxious to have a large number of entries in the bird house contort. A prize is offered to the l). y or girl under sixteen, who shows the best built and most attractive bird house. The house must have been made hv the exhibitor.

The group, headed by Bonner Ray, chairman of the road committee for the park section, did however, "put across to the highway commission, the need and advantage of road con struction in this area." -: The committee stated, "in the Way of motivating thought : along this line, which will eventually result in that which we sought, although roth ing definite at the present." Those making the trip were: Bon ner Ray, W. A. Hyatt, W. T. Shel ton, and Frank W, Miller, all of Waynesville. W. A.

ALLEX Getting a poor start in his youth to ward a liberal education but contin uing it long after the average man is either in his dotage.; or his grave is tiie unusual and almost- unprecedent ed story of former County Superin tendent of schools, R. A. Septelle, of :I ay wood county. The story of his career has often j been told, but in .the retelling there is a-ways something fresh and inspir ing, and even commanding. When the Junaluska summer school began it3 seventh annual session last June at Lake Junaluska, "young" Mr. Scn telle was among the first to enroll, giving his age as "going on" 8G, That incident was in itself an outstanding event in school chronology, for where was there ever another school that enrolled a student 85 years young The summer school is seven years old. Mr. Sentelle has been a student every year. He has become a part of the school. HEADED SCHOOLS 32 YEARS For 32 years, Mr. Sentelle directed the. management of. the public schools of Haywood county. No man has vor given the impress upon the edu cational life of the county that he hs. Even today, although it has been 12 years since he retired from the management, his -administration of the school affairs of Haywood coun ty is often referred to. As Dr. T. F, Glenn, of Wc -t Asheville,. a retired Methodist .minister and presiding el der, once said, R. A, Sentelle has be come an institution in II jyWond coun ty. ",.,..'.; Horn in Henderson county, Decem ber 23, 1846, Mr. Sentelle has spent his long and eventful (freer either in getting an education, teaching school, directing others in getting an education, or preaching the Gospel to the outlying districts of Western North. Carolina. For two or three years pior to the War Between the States he endeavored to learn the three R's in the public schools of his -."live county. Almost immediately r-fter the close of the war, he came to Haywood county and continued that education and in teaching for more than 60 . years. His' life, .as a school boy. ks a school teacher, a school ad Johnson, attorney. Representing the creditors were: T. A Clark, of Canton, Morgan, Stamey and Ward, of Waynesville, and G. C. Davis, also of Waynesville. Ashets were estimated at $3,000,.: liabilities were ascertained to be $5,400. Jo seph E, Johnson represented the bank rupt company. . , , At the same time and place bank rupt proceedings were held oi S. Mizell, bankrupt,1 of Waynesville, al so before F. W. Thomas, referee. In this case no trustee was appointed as it was supposed that none was needed, the- estimated assets are about $400, liabilities being listed at $18,000 Joseph E. Johnson repre sented the bankrupt, C. Mizell and Grovcr C. Davis the creditors. his career WORKED AS FIELD HAND For a few years, after coming to Haywood county, he worked as a fjeld hand on the farm of W. W. Lenoir in East ' Fork township, for he was not ashanved of work in any form in which it came. He : became a pro fr?e of the late W. J. Wilson. Dr. J. M.Mease, and Rev. D. B. Nelson, who were teachers, school men, and preachers during Sentelle's youth in this county. In 1871, he became a public school teacher as: the princi pal and only instructor at Thickety school in Beaverdam district. Cap tain W. J. Wilson was county exam ( Continued an back page) .Three cars .'of farmers from dilTor eiit parts of Haywood county made a tour of East Tennessee this week. In the gioun were W. A.

G.Keii' lid James Reno, of Beaverdam, find Carter Osboiiie, of Clyde. The trip was organized and led by Jas. . L.Ttobinson, county agent. 'The -group left Canton about three o'clock on Monday 'afternoon,- goinjj y way of Asheville,, Weaveryille, Erwin to Johnson City, Tennessee, where the night was spent. On Tues day they went to Mr. Roy Bell's fai in the west end of Suliivan county and joined a much larger number of Tennessee farmers m a lour .of Sul livan and Johnson counties. This tour ended at Mountain City, Tennes see at 6' o'clock. From there the Haywood people came homo by way of Boone and Lenoir. The main, object of the tour was to see a number of demonstrations: of summer feeding of grain to cattle on grass. For a number of years sev eral farmers in various counties of Tennessee have followed thi;i prac tice. For farmers with a surpius of corn it offers a better opportunity of marketing their torn than the winter feeding, because of the cheap ening, of the ration with the grass. For a farmer without a surplus of corn, the plan Would require pur chase of corn on low market basis. Most of the farms visited were using mature steers, but two were fattening baby beef calves grown on the place, Of almost equal interest was a pasture demonstration of the benefits of phosphate and .nitrate .applica tions on pasture. The carrying capac ity had been doubled where both had been used, and very greatly increas ed by the use of 16'r superph.isphate alone."
