County Commissioners Give
Reasons For Selling Farm
Economy Is Given in Formal
Statement AS Major Rea.
son For the Sale.

1--WE are informed that some 81
our citizens do not understand OF
oppose the selling Of the county
farm. After careful consideration
Of the matter. we made the de-
cision to sell In the interest 81
economy. The expenses OF main.
tanning the county home and
farm have been considerable 10Y
several years. II costs money g
keep up farm as large az che
present county farm. IT is dHfs=
cult for anyone who cannot awe
personal supervision 10 operate q
farm at a profit.
The number of inmates is small
because the program Of assistance
to needy people OF the State and
Federal Governments has greatly
reduced the need for a large eonns
ty home, We want TO save the
taxpayers every penny we can
and we feel that we can make a
considerable saving by reducing
overhead expenses IN caring for
the very few people who cannot
be placed on Relief, Old Age Pen
sion Rolls or the list for Aid to
Dependent Children,
I'VE have been criticised for
suggesting a project TO repair the
courthouse and build some Of
flee space. We want 10 save the
taxpayers money in this respect.
Mr.. Basil D. Barr. a capable engl-
neer. estimates that we can carry
on the proposed project with very
little more expense than 1t would
cost us to repair the courthouse
out of the taxpayers money. The
reports of the grand jury and the
order of judges compel us to
keep the courthouse in repair.
I'VE want to save the rent OF
$4,000 or more which is being
paid out of tax money to house
the county agencies that the law
requires to be operated. The
grand jury may do as was done
in Wilkes county, make an order
recurring expenditures of tax
payers money when it will be
too late to take advantage OF gov
eminent aid through the WPA.
We believe the good business men
of Ashe county and its fair-mlnd-
ed citizens, when they study the
matter, will agree with us and
we will appreciate it if anyone
who opposes and does not under
stand will come to us and discuss
the matter frankly and obtain the
facts and form their opinion upon
the facts and full information.

SUMMER IN THE COUNTRY
Bv Martin Craft

Did you ever try writing a poem;
Just trying your hand at creation
Without plan or slightest prepare
ton;
Just letting your vagrant fancy
roam? =
Sitting on the porch in summer
time
Smoking your pipe after break
fast,
And having your usual "talk-
fest
With your brother about words
that rhyme,
And after he's gone off to his
work
Leaving you to your vacant mus
ing,
His hospitality abusing.
And you not in the least loath tc
shirk
Your own work, but lazily con-
tent
To feast your eyes on the verdant
grain
And grass, after the refreshing
rain,
In perfect peace and abandon
ment;
Knowing that you should 60 bach
to town
To your work; hating to leave the
farm
With all its beauty and charm?
But dawdling does not bring higf
renoWn:
An apple tree with luscious frui
Stands stately in the yard,
It's branches temptingly reacf
out
Inviting my regard;
A grapevine climbs the trellisee
porch
In festoons intricate,
With myriad punches OF greer
grapes
Inviting me to wait;
The garden lot below the yard
With vegetation rare,
Invites me to remain awhile,
It's goodly yield to share;
The spring-house with abundant
store
OF butter. milk and cheese.
With cooling water at its fount
Tempts me to take my ease;
@y-s4ss
The flowers dot the grassy lawn
In luxuriant profusion
BY crooked flag-stone walks
which lead =s=~aa-es.s.--.-
