KATES TO ASHEVILLE.
Brother Carriers:— The following
communication has been received
from Mr. W. H. Fitzgerald, Com
missioner, relative to reduced rates
to and from Asheville.
Insist on ticket agent giving them
to you. I don’t know exactly what
the reduction will amount to, but
think it will be as usual—one full
and two-thirds of full rate for round
trip.
Bro. C. U. Monday, of Asheville,
writes me he is hard at work trying
to get arrangements ready “for the
meet” and will send me a list of
boarding places, hotels, etc., soon;
they have not come yet.
Last July I spent part of a week
there with Mrs. Samuel Mears, 61
South French Broad Avenue. It is
a delightful home like place aad nice
shade. She writes me she can care
for twenty-five of us at $1.25 per
day with “Biltmore buttermilk,”
fried chicken and pure mountain
corn (bread). Howell is going to
carry up a crate of peaches from
Peachland, and I expect to carry a
crate of Pender “big blue” huckle
berries. Mr. and' Mrs. Meares and
three pretty waiters will do the rest
toward our pleasant entertainment.
"We especially desire the editor or a
representative of the “Union Parmer”
to be with us on the occasion. Hon.
Locke Craig is a-going to make a
“jaw cracking” talk on good roads,
and you are going to see them when
you drive upon “Sunset” and “Bear
Catcher” Mountains with not more
than 10 per cent grade. Secretary
Beamon w'rites that he hopes to have
the program ready for the occasion.
Hoping to see many of you soon, I
am. Fraternally,
E. D. PEARSALL.
Mr. E. D. Pearsall,
Rocky Point, N. C.
Dear Sir:—Yours of the 8th in
stant received. As there will be sum
mer tourist fares in effect to Ashe
ville at the time of your meeting on
a basis as low as any reduction that
would be granted for your occasion,
and which would also give you your
choice of date of returning, would
suggest that you advise your dele
gates to avail themselves thereof.
Kindly advise if this will be satis
factory. Yours truly,
W. H. FITZGERALD,
Commissioner.

MECKLENBURG FARMERS’ UNION
The next regular monthly meet
ing of the County Farmers’ Union
will be held with the Derita Local at
Derita on the first Friday in July. Be
sides the usual executive session of
the Union, the program will devote
itself to country life problems. Among
other features of the meeting will be
a practical demonstration in canning
by Mrs. McKimmon, of Raleigh, who
is an expert at the business and who
is in general charge of the girls’
tomato club work of the State Agri
cultural Department. Mr. I. O.
Schaub, who is directing the organi
zation of boys’ corn clubs and who
assists in organizing the girls ’toma
to clubs, is expected to be present
also.
There are at present five girls’ to
mato clubs in the county at the fol
lowing places: Carmel, Derita, Croft,
Nevin, and Dixie. Miss Mary Pressly
of this city is in general charge of the
girls’ tomato clubs in the county.
Members of these clubs are expected
to be at the Derita meeting in July
to see demonstration work and hear
an address by Mrs. McKimmon.
While the girls’ tomato clubs are
of more recent organization than the
boys’ corn clubs, their effect in arous
ing interest in tomato culture is
scarcely less pronounced than the
boys’ clubs have in corn culture. A
North Carolina girl, in Guilford
County, is said to hold the record
for production per acre in tomato
growing.
The meeting at Derita in July will
have other interesting features that
will make it one of the most import
ant meetings of the year. The pub
lic generally is cordially invited to at
tend the meeting.
