Junior Club Work Adds to Agricultural Wealth of Henderson County, Sept. 23, 1926

Club Work Adds New Farm Wealth

The 184 junior club members of Henderson county who carried their project through to successful completion this year have added $4,000 in new farm wealth to the State.

This fact was demonstrated recently when 300 of the club members, boys and girls, gathered at the Henderson High School for their annual rally and to make reports of the results of their labors for the past season. The meeting was an important and the club members took deep interest in all the proceedings. After the meeting had been opened with prayer by a local minister, Prof. Honeycutt of the Hendersonville High School made a talk in which he stressed the importance of club work. He was followed by Assistant County Agent E. D. Cody who reported on the activities of the year. He stated that the 184 members who had completed their work made an average profit of $25 per member, which was a total of $4,000 for the county.

L. R. Harrill, club leader for State College, also attended this meeting and gave a brief talk on the possibilities of club work and its meaning to Henderson county. A silver loving cup donated by S. S. Child was presented to the Ebenezer Club for having made the best record during the year. Because of the close contest between this club and the one from Pleasant Grove, a second cup was awarded and donated to the latter club by W. H. Hawkins of Hendersonville.

Hilliard Henderson was awarded a silver loving cup, donated by the State Livestock Associations for being the best judge of livestock at the Western North Carolina Fair.

According to Mr. Harrill, this rally was one of the best club meetings that has been held in North Carolina this year. The members were brought in from their schools by trucks and were entertained at a free motion picture show by local persons.

In Memory of Martha Vera Greene Who Died Sept. 24, 1925

IN MEMORIAM

Martha Vera Greene

September 24, 1925

No one knows the silent heartaches,

Only those who have lost can tell

Of the grief that’s borne in silence

For the one we loved so well.

“Tis sweet to know we will meet again,

Where parting is no more,

And that the one we loved so dear

Has only gone before.
