FISHTOP

Curtis Newman returned home from taking his sister, Elma, and cousins, Misses Estelle and Eva Pace, to the high school at Columbus Saturday. [Families that lived too far from a high school had to board their children with families in town.]

E.J. and Wayland Bradley went to Saluda Saturday.

J.L. Frazier, J.L. Beddingfield, H.C. and Nesbit Ward from Zirconia, came over with teams to move D.S. Pace’s boiler and engine Friday last, and all went through to the ground on one span of the approaches to the bridge, none hurt seriously. The road supervisors have been warned of the condition of the bridge and its approaches as the approach's sills were only pine poles which have lasted well (five years); that’s one way the people’s money go. Specifications ought to be given to the builders that would be durable, and then see that they are complied with before any recommendation is given.

This season proves what Old Polk would do in the way of fruits if she had a fair chance. So I advise all in need of nursery stock to buy of the old reliable nursery by seeing E.J. Bradley, agent for the I. Van Lindly Nursery Company, Pomona, N.C., address E.J. Bradley at Saluda, N.C.
