Let's keep the farm demonstrator.

Somebody lied!"
The Western Carolina fair is fair
and fine: why not take it in n day
at least?
Exert yourself and roll up a big
democratic majority in county, judi
c;al and congressional district.
The parcel post squabble is ca1cula-
ted to get about as big as the board
bill muddle. Avoid it boys, avoid it.

The talk of a modern and adequate
passenger station for Hendersonville
sounds good even though we don't get
it soon.
What would you think of a fly swat
ting campaign early next spring with
the view to making Hendersonville a
fyless city and a more desirable place
for living?
= =
We have iridescent dreams of the
children playing in the city's park to
the real of the federal building when
q municipal structure is erected on
Bailey's block.
= =
There is a fruitful field of service
for a civic organization that will have
as it's object the cleaning up the city.
Fer the ladies the harvest is great but
the laborers few.

Farm Demonstration Perkins is Civ
ing the farmers some good advice in
this issue of the Democrat. Why not
heed and thereby take advantage of
your opportunities, Mr.. Farmer

If you have not registered, be you
republican or democrat, it is high time
that you get your name on the books,
for the election in November is go
ing to be an interesting one and you
should by no means waste your op-
portunity to do good by neglecting this
little matter of registration. See to
it at once.
The statement in our news column
showing 1878 homes in Henderson
county out of which there are 1880
urban homes of which only 3I2 are
free of encumbrances is not very
healthy. The rural conditions make 2
sbetter showing, there being 1854 of
the 2,1O5 farm homes owned by the
occupants and free from mortgaged
remembrance.
1T would be difficult to pay a man a
higher compliment for efficiency and
general satisfaction tina nthat received
by Judge C. M. Pace, clerk of Supe-
rlor court for forty-six years. at the
hands of the democratic convention
Saturday. The Judge says that he is
the happiest man in the county and
he has much for the which any man
should be proud.
The Democrat is in receipt of a nice
batch of personals from Papa's Pet at
Mt. Zion No. 3. They look well on
tEeir face, but unsigned communica-
tons have about as little chance slip
Ping by us into the paper as the pre-
verbal camel had crawling through
the eye of a needle. Please sign our
articles to show good faith wen though
you don't care to have your nance pub
-1ished.
There are yet numerous democrats
who think they should get this paper
without cost, but we are converting
them gradually as their subscriptions
expire, by dropping their names from
the list. We are adding the lanes of
new and more appreciative readers
from day to day.

Are you doing your duty with refer
ence to persuading the county commits
sioners to. employ Mr.. E. l.. Perkins,
farm demonstration, for, another year?
Mr.. Perkins should have a definite an
swer at once. If the county can az
ford such, it is the duty of the county
commissioners to continue this ser
vice, which is of i~ncalculable benefit
TO the people. The county can NOT
really afford to do without it. If
the board of education has a big sur
plus and will assist it will be appre->
ated, but the county should pay for
the service if others will not. Mr..
Perkins should know something def
mite without delay.
