Growing Up.

The younger girls are growing up
now, and on account of ill-heath the
mother doesn't control them as she used
to do. They are permitted to do things
for which the oldest daughter would
have received severe punishment.
When the older sister, who has cared
for them as if she were their mother.
corrects them, they are impudent and
rude.
1.-The oldest daughter was never per
mtted to go to parties when younger
because she was needed at home, and
now she is no longer invited. She
knows no young men. and her parents,
realizing the help she is in the house
and fearing to lose her, refuse to let
any come to the house.
rs it fair that she stay at home and
cook for her brothers and wait on them
and they should never think of provid-
ing a way for her to meet nice boys,
or in any way add to her pleasure?"
Fair. Little Mother! There is no in
justice in the world greater than that
practced by most parents on the Lit
tie Mother OF their home. She comes
to them when they are young, inexpe
rienced, self-wiled, high tempered and
impatient. 1t takes more babies, expe-
rience, the softening hand of time, and
perhaps a little mound or two in the
cemetery to make them realize that
they, themselves, are only babies
grown. 1t is a lesson in tenderness and
patience which they learn after the first
born has been the victim of their impa-
tience and inexperience many years.
Every mother loves her daughters, but
she loves her sons more. She sacrifices

HENDERsONvILLE POULTRY FARM
VIII Furnish About 1000 Pounds of
Poultry Weekly and SIS Worth of
Eggs; to Increase Capacity.

The Hendersonville Poultry Farm
las renewed a contract to furnish
Grove Park Inn with poultry and eggs
for another year, which agreement
will call for an average Of about 1000
pounds of poultry each week, valued
at about $500, and SIS worth of eggs
weekly.
]. w. Couch, Manager of the Grove
Park inn and N. B. Burke, steward,
were in Hendersonville SATURDAY.,
when the contract was renewed. b..
Willis, manager OF the poultry farm,
arranged a luncheon at the st. John
hotel in honor of his guests, furnish
ing supplies from the poultry farm.
A number of representative men of
Hendersonville were guests of this oc-
casion on the invitation of Mr.. Willis.
The Hendersonyille Poultry Farm
furnished the Grove Park inn a con
siderable portion of the poultry and
eggs used during the past year. The
products of this farm having won
first place with the management of
the hotel, arrangements we're made
whereby Mr.. Willis will furnish tho
entire supply of poultry and eggs,
some butter from the Blue Ridge
creamery, and Quantity of potatoes,
Business Growing.
Mr.. Willis, who has had wide expe
rience in the poultry business, came
to Hendersonville about four years
ago and started on a small scale.
His efforts have constantly met with
Success and today the output is given
at 10000 birds annually. During the
past year the farm has kept 1,400 lay
ing hens, producing, according to Mr..
Willis, estimate, $4,000 worth of eggs.
Mr.. Willis states that the number of
hens will be increased to $500, where
by it is hoped to increase the annual
output to 10000 fowls, including
chickens, ducks, and turkeys, in order
to supply the demand made upon this
local industry from various parts Of
the country,
Mr.. Willis is highly encouraged over
future prospects and he sees the max
ing of a great industry in this section
if the farmers can be interested 10
help supply the demand for poultry
and eggs.
That a Henderson county industry
can gain such favor as to furnish pro-
ducts for the finest hotel in this part
Of the country is considered quite
complimentary to the management OF
the poultry farm.

THE HORSE TO HIS MASTER.

I am a horse; you r a man;
I've been your slave since I began,
And though I'm strong enough to shake
My shackles off and make a break
Fopafreedom that would life the lid,
You've noticed that l never did.
By day and night I've worked for you
And done the best that l could do;
And though l may not always like
Your methods, yet I v strike;
In heat and cold, in wet and dry
I'm always ready-glad to try
To do the very best I can
To satisfy my master, man.
Therefore, my master, if you please,
Consider such facts as there:
Say, don't you think it ought to DO
Your pleasure to look out for me,
If for no other reason than
MY great usefulness to man?
Of course, you might be worse, l know
You sometimes treat your own kind so,
But I'm a Horse, and truer than
The man-slave to his master, a
And, furthermore, my nature is
Much more dependent than is his.
And as 1 trust you, Sir, you should
Do all you can to make it good.
Nor do l ask a lot, I guess,
To be a fairly fair success
/ think it just about my share.
No other pay l ask-no touch
l make, but this! Is that too much?

Gazette News.)


Wiley P. Black, VINO figured often in
court circles in this city and county
during the past few years and who
was 'banished" from the state about
n year ago by Judge Frank Carter
is in the limelight in Knoxville now,
according to a story in the Sentinel of
that city, which says that Black was
sentenced to serve six months 1 n
workhouse and to pay a fine of $50 for
alleged violations of the nuisance in
junction.
The Sentinel says:
Wiley P. Black was found guilty OF
contempt of court on a charge of
violating a nuisance injunction, Tues
day. He was entenced to six months
in the workhouse and fined $50. Pend
ing argument for new trial, his bond
was fixed at $4,000.
The trial of Wiley P. Black, charged
with violating a circuit court Tuesday.
II was alleged that Black has sold
liquor since the granting of an injunc-
ton by Judge Won A. Huffaker on
May 20.
Will Love, a negro arrested on
Tuesday of last week, charged with
retailing liquor, testified that on that
day he bought a gallon of liquor from
Black on Depot avenue, paying Black
1925 for the whiskey.
Love declared that he had bought
liquor from Black on other occasions.
The defense sought to prove an
alibi, alleging that on Tuesday, the
date of the alleged sale to Will Love,
Black was in Chattanooga. Attorneys
for the defense asked for time In
which to get dispositions from Chatta-
Doogans whom it was claimed saw
Black in the city on the date mention
ed. Judge Huffaker refused to allow
the trial to be delayed, stating that the
matter of securing fresh evidence or
dispositions could be used in a motion
for a new trial, If such is offered.

MI. Jettries showed to the commits
sion that the surplus OF the company

vested in the company's foul per cent

for such bonds, Il consequently the
company had no surplus, and no funds
with which to meet the continued de-

ties, Viaducts, overhead crossings, and
such other demands as are now pend

mands of the public when it's revenues
warranted it, but that at this time it
could not be done.
Relief Extended.
Raleigh, Oct. IA reply was is
sued tonight by the corporation COM
mission to the plea made yesterday
by General Attorney L. E. Jeffries,
for President Fairfax Harrison of the
Southern railway, for the commission
to extend the company such consider
alton and ~leniency as it properly can
during the continuance of the present
depressing conditions, and especially
relief as far as possible from making
improvements in facilities and sta.
tons and the like until earnings of
the railroad become normal. The re-
ply signed by Chairman Travis as
ures the Southern through Mr.. JEFF
fr1eS the commission grants the petit
ton and will require no improvements
now that can reasonably be post
poned.
Chairman Travis writes that the
commission is convinced that present
earnings of the company are not more
tt a n enough to meet it's actual oper-
ating expenses with economy and re-
trenchment, and it would be unrea-
sonable, and not expected by the pub
lie, to require improvements which
could be reasonably postponed.
Therefore non will be required
except where there is some peculiar
necessity for immediate action.
Applications for improved service
and facilities pending will be heard
to determine what improvements will
be ultimately required but not made.
until there is improved conditions.
