Brownsville is certainly getting her
share of cold weather with more snow
than has fallen in these parts in many
years. To date the supply Of fuel has
been ample, but indications are that
both coal and wood win be scarce in
the near future, hence the necessity
for cons . ration. Save all you can
and be ready to help your neighbor If
he should need it,
Brownsville merchants had splen-
did Christmas trade and are buoyant
and hopeful for the future. They keep
the best to be had at prices consistent
with the present high cost of living.
Look through our advertising columns
throughout this year for what you
want. Good merchants always adver-
tise. That is why they are good mer-
chants, for it takes advertising to
build up and sustain any business.
Practically all Of the schools in Hay
wood county are now open despite the
scarcity Of fuel ana extremely eofaf
weather. Parents and pupils should
lend hearty cooperation to teachers
and school officers in their efforts to
keep a supply Of fuel and to render the
buildings comfortable. Above all
things keep the children in school, for
the time is coming when education will ]
count more in making a successful ca
reer than it ever counted before.

l will make charge of 25c for day
storage and SOC for night storage. j. |

At a mass meeting held here some
time ago, a committee was appointed
to organize a woodward company for
the purpose of keeping on hand an
abundant supply of wood for thepeople
during this winter 1t is very essen
tial to the public welfare that this or
ganization be prepared to serve the
public at the very earliest date posi- {
Bile. Wood is getting scarce and con-
tinuation of cold weather will bring
suffering soon if the needs are not met
by this company. Under these condi-
tons we feel sure the gentlemen in !
charge of the organization will ar
range to meet the needs Of our people
at once.
