impressed on their arrival.
One man as soon as he had dis

better than Union. Just look at
those fine horses and turn-outs;
we don't have fine ones like

While walking on Main street,
asgirf from Union, with a taste
for beautiful things, was heard

full lawn. Nearly every one of
these houses are just beautiful.
1t is the prettiest place l ever

Esteemed Charlotte Lady
Passes Away in HGnde-

WadeSbQrO.

Mrs. Matte Brown Brasington,
wife of Mr.. Clayton S. Brasing-
ton, of this city, died in Hender-
sonville Tuesday night at 9
o'clock afterfa lingering illness
which lasted for a number OF
months. The body, accompanied
by sorrowing loved ones and be-
reft friends, passed through the
city yesterday afternoon en- route
to Wadesboro, the old home OF
the deceased, where the funeral
and interment will take place to-
day. Mrs. Brasington was II
years of age and aside from her

ter Clayton S. Brasington, Jr., is
survived by her mother, Mrs. H.
Brown, one sister, Miss Minnie
Brown, and two brothers, Messrs
Claude Brown, of Henderson
vile, and Will Brown, of Biz
mingham, Ala. Mr.. and Mrs
Brasington came to Charlotte
from Wadesboro several years
ago and made their home on East

a responsible position with the

ton was accustomed to spend her
summers in Hendersonville for
her health. 1t was known for
some time that she was failing
and the end Tuesday was not un-
expected.
Mrs. Brasington was a life
long member of the Baptist
Church and was always one of
it's most loyal and enthusiastic
workers. Sunny, sympathetic
and kind, she counted amongst
her acquaintance hosts of warm
friends. To know her was to
love her. Though striker with
a disease from which there was
little hope of her recovery and
having at her knee a son of ten
der years, whose future to her was
more than life itself, she never
complained or repined but bore
her affection with truly Christian
fortitude, leaving everything to
Him who doeth all thing we'll.
The end was very easy.
Rev. DR.. j. @. Adams, Mrs.
Brasington's former pastor, join
ed the party here last evening

Poetry Of Laurel Park.

Nature never shirks in any of her
works,
When it comes to performance
of duty;
She never even fingers with her
delicate fingers,
Always excelling in beauty.
MAN may aspire to go higher and
higher,
And climb from height to height.
But nature will beat him and al
ways defeat him,
In works that please and delight;
Nature is true in what ever is to
do,
And always takes plenty of time;
Lays stone after stone in build
ing her throne,
And when she has done, it's sub
line.
She never drops stitches in max
ing her inches,
OF beauty spots hidden away.
Thought often concealed, when
ever revealed,
They never corrode or decay.
Men may take sparks and make
beautiful sparks,
And adorn them quite handsome
and well,
But nature took mountains and
natural fountains,
And made Laurel Park to excel.
Artificial places, with transpar-
ent graces,
And rapturous scenery sublime,
Most beautiful springs where the
Mocking bird sings,
In the laurels with cadence and
rhyme.

DRY FARMING.

Commissioner Parker's enthusiasm
with regard to dry farming POSSIBLE

of the board TO like view as to the
possibilities which he recognizes and
with them enter upon some plan for
the furtheranee of these ideas and
encouragement of their adoption, he
will have accomplished step Of i'm
portance. The News would suggest,
If 1t is within their power to do so,
that the commissioners cause the cir
culation of dry farming literature
among the taxpayers of the county.
This literature may be obtained by
addressing the secretary of the con-
gress. II would also be we'll. If ii
is within their power. to offer a
bounty for the development of ar
tesian wells and for the bringing UNI
der cultivation of fixed acreages.
Such policy would in short time pay
the county large dividends, through
increased values made for land and
through increase in taxable property.
In Arizona a law empowering the
commissioners of counties to spend
certain amounts annually for the dis
tribution of information as to dry
farming and irrigation matters and
for the sending out to other states
of reading matter telling of agricul-
tural and stock opportunities in the
territory. has in the last few years
added hundreds of settlers to the
population brought thousands of
new acres of land under profitable
cultivation and added largely to the
tax receipts of every county in the
territory. 1t is worth trying in Ne
TadS and we know of no body that
might better have the credit of max
ing the start than the White Pine
board of commissioners.

Too much grasping for power and
too much intrigue on the part of his
