On last Saturday, | had thu
pleasure Of eating good, nice ripe
strawberries, right from the vines
These berries grew here in this
community on the farm OF Mr.
Leon Chandler. They tasted and
looked like strawberries and they
were strawberries.
Mr.. Joe Taylor, who left this
community some forty years ago,
is back visiting relatives and
friends. His present home is in
Maddill, Okla. Mr.. Taylor says
that there is nothing much that
looks natural.
Well, friend Joe gave me very
hard punch last week about the
highway that is to be put through
here. There were but very few
farmers that knew anything about
it until it was all over with, and
something said about it in the
paper. So we do not know what
to do until someone tells us what
we must do. We are willing to
give the land and help Go the
work. What else must we do?
Five girls and boys were bap-

Found in Gleason.

The women Of the Missionary
society of the M. E. church found
! in the last quarter twelve women
to join the society. Twelve new
members who were willing to
give time, talent and money to
advance the greatest cause,
"Christ's kingdom here on earth. "
At meeting held Aug. 8 the
society decided to have a Ship
Contest" to increase interest. Two
ships were painted and arranged
on the rostrum. They were sup
posed to start from New York
and 90 to Brazil on a mission
trip. Mrs. W. 7. Holley was
chosen captain Of "The Old Ship
Of Zion," and Mrs. L. S. Buch-
anan captain Of the Star Of the
East"
The captain chose the different
members OF the society, as in a
spelling match, to work for new
members, back dues and the
largest attendance. The side gain
ing the most points at a meeting
moves it's ship up so many miles,
the ship reaching its destination
first wins in the contest and will
probably be entertained by the
side losing. The result Of the
contest so far has proven to be a
great success. We have almost
doubled our membership in little
over a month -thirty-one men,
bers in all, $4.05 dues paid last
quarter.
Have a very interesting mission
study. The class was organized
Aug. 20 with eight members and
there are in the class now thirty
eight. We are planning for great
err things next quarter, Mrs. j,
M. McMahan.

GLEASON GLEANINGS


The committee in charge, has
closed the contract for the building
of brick building in which the
electric light plant will be housed.
Our fellow townsman, Mr.. ]. G.

The work of digging and hous-
ing the sweet potato crop is now
on in full blast, every available
hand is being used, and the work
is moving along better than expect
ed. The crop of potatoes is so
much larger than ever before it
was feared that labor would be
hard to secure. The yield so far
is fully up to the average Of two
hundred bushels per acre.

High-priced cotton, high-priced
mules, hogs and cattle, a good to-

j. Britt of AsheviIle, Bob as he is
known to all in that part Of the State,
is president of the HendersonVille
Light and Power company, a very
prosperous little corporation. He has,
at heavy expense, developed the water
power on Green river, nea Henderson
vile, and the waters of that stream
row furnish the electric juice for a
thriving city of 5000 people.
Gin Henderson county there is thou
sands of undeveloped horsepower in
the streams so abundant there. A
Spartanburg, S. c., group of capitalists
have bought up great tracts Of land
Eear Mr.. Oates holdings and say they
are going to develop $4,000 horse pow
er from the same stream that Mr..
Oates has partly utilized.
Should they do this, it would be
the largest single water power devel-
opment in America East of the Rocky
Mountains. The interest of the two
parties do not jibe-in fact they clash
with a loud noise, so to speak.
'eThey have had several fights in tn"

VIII be Occupied by Rose Pharmacy;
New Brick ONCE Building on
Fourth Avenue Planned.

As a result of the vacation of the old
.postofice building this structure will
be remodeled and modernized by the
owners, B. p. and ]. A. Burckmyer
and leased to J.. L. Rose and occupied
by the Rose pharmacy.
When seen by a representative of
the Democrat, J. A. Burckmyer de-
scribed how the building is to be re-
modelled and of the contemplation of
a new Office brick building to the rear
of the present one, facing Fourth
avenue.
Mr. Burckmyer stated that the stair
way leading from Main street between
the Burckmyer Grocery store and the
old p~ostof1ce building to the second
food would be taken out and a new
entrance erected leading from Fourth
avenue.
1t has not been decided whether a
door to the drug store will be placed
here and a corner entrance arranged
on Fourth and Main with a large plate
glass between or whether there will
be one entrance with plate glass on
either side and to the front part of
the building on Fourth avenue.
The interior fixtures will be torn
out, the walls re-plastered and a tile
flooring laid.
; Work will be undertaken just as
soon as the government releases the
quarters.
New Office Building Contemplated.
Mr.. Burckmyer stated that he and
his brother had under consideration
the erection of an up-to-date two story
brick Office building on the site of the
| coal house to the rear of the old post
office building. They have had pro-
osals for a lease and it is highly prob
able that work will be undertaken in
early spring on a building purely for
office quarters, which would be a new
departure for Hendersonyille.
