grading for spur into the Limestone
lodges owned by L. L. Harding. Then
the said railroad, 1t enters
the said canon along the line Of the

a 12 per cent grade for distance OF
700 feet. Then on 6.5 per cent grade
to the top OF the hill about two miles.
Then continuing on q s per cent grade
for a distance OF about 1-2 mile, after

1t is of interest, too, in this
connection, to note that practi-
cally all the freight received at
Brevard is consigned to Hender-
sonville. -Hendersonville Hust-
Ter.
AS a sample of bombastic ig-
norance the above item hasn't a
peer. Before publishing such a
statement the pencil pusher of
that windy journal should have
consulted some freight agent or
conductor Of the Southern rail-
way. Not a piece of freight is
receivable by any conductor on
the Southern system if so shipped
that it must be rebilled at Hen
Jacksonville for points on the
Pennsylvania railroad. Occasion
ally through ignorance or error a
shipment for Brevard has to be
rebilled at Hendersonville, but it
is a notorious fact that every such
shipment reaches here short or
damaged. If our neighbor had
a chance at Brevard freights, as
a distributing point" most of
it would be distributed" before
it reached here.-Brevard News.
Now. amt he the mean old
thing! Out O. joint with these
more modern times, disgruntled
and with a monumental and per-
petual crouch on, the poor old
News seeks to revenge itself for
a fancied slight by throwing off
on the boys of the Pennsylvania
Railroad-the only road entering
itsstown-and whose employees
are honest, able and faithful to a
degree.
Every shipment reaches here
short or damaged" That's
pretty tough on the Transylva-
MIA Railroad boys, but maybe
they can stand it. Reckon they
can, but it's tough, just the same.
The News must resolve this
bright New Year to turn over a
new leaf. Don't get mad, get
some good liver medicine, or a
cure for indigestion, and then
you wont wantonly insult the
faithful employees of the only
railroad touching your town-a
most admirable road indeed
not it's least admirable feature
being that it enables the whole
sale houses of Hendersonville to
supply Brevard with all of its
groceries and most of it's other
commodities.

Fix The Roads.

The Willow Road from the
branch to the Brevard track is
in bad shape almost impossible.
AS this is only a distance of a
few hundred yards, and is the
road leading to Osceola and Ka-
nuga Lakes, it would seem the
part of policy to improve it i'm
mediately by putting down a
layer of sand. The sand is right
at hand at the creek, and the ex-
pense therefore would not be
very great.

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners met
on Monday and transacted rou-

They meet again next Monday,
the day designated by law, to
settle with Tax Collector G. E.
Brooks for the State taxes.

of the Breckinridge Telegram
dealing with the possibilities
and impossibilities of gaining

words are timely and will do
much good. The statement is
there made that some men
have said that they do not care
to come to church because the

truth in this we feel sure that
these good souls who do so
much for the good of the
church will readily do a W a y
any thing that may in any way
be construed into a hindrance
to the means of Grace. The la
