  • THE CANTON ENTERPRISE . .T-,r*r./-\-o rt-i-\ fTTJT^ TAMTAM i^DCPD-jni'D HL SUCCESSOR TO THE CANTON OBSERVER CANTON, N. C. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1919. 1 KEEPINGCATTLEFIT DURINGTHEWINTER Experiments at Springdale Farm Attracting Widespread Attention Reports recently received here are to the effect that the successful experiments at Springdale Farms, Haywocd county, during the past few years wintering cattle in the open, are attracting widespread attention, through publication in state and federal bulletins. Information, based on apparently excellent authority, has recently been received here to the effect that men, representatives of large interests in Chicago and elsewhere, will soon visit this part of Western North Carolina in order that they may see for themselves the wonderful advantages it offers as the best all-the-year part of the country for the successful raising of livestock at the smallest possible cost. j The men who' come here wi 1 undoubtedly have wonderful things to report on their return home. They will find that in the mountain coves and valleys of Haywocd count j and other parts of Western North Carolina, blue grass,the finest kind of wild stock food, grows all the year round with a luxuriavce and in an abundance unsurpassed if equalled in the most favored so-called "blue grass regions" elsewhere. Outside investors seeking suit- We lands fer stock raising will Vid the cut-over lands in West- \) North Carolina well suited to i tir needs and obtainable at a reasonable figure. Therevare thousands of acres from which the best timber has been removed for lumber, leaving these tracts more valuable as grazing lands than for any other purpose, it is said. With the encouragement of the state department of agriculture, land owners in the western counties have been quick to see the advantage of utilizing these boundaries for pastures and the cattle raising industry has made great strides here in the past few years. Save $2.50 to $10 en a Suit. The ad. of W. H. Kezziah, on another page of this newspaper, contains some interesting facts well worth the careful consideration of men who want to be well dressed at the least possible outlay. It appears Mr. Kezziah has been quick to take full advantage of the present condition of the woolen market. c v:nti:\a:;y pi: I ¥*ir¥********¥***¥******W Of the Ashevi'le District Episcopal Church. held places Lansinff, I and Wilkes- Canton.

It l732=Sfet)ington=l799 The defender of his country—the founder of liberty—the friend of man. History and tradition are explored in vain for a parallel to his character. In the annals of modern greatness he stands alone; and the noblest names of antiquity lose their luster in his presence. Born the benefaclor of mankind, he united all the qualities necessary to an illustrious career. Nature made him great; he made himself virtuous. Called by h;s country to the defense of her liberties, he triumphantly vindicated the rights of humanity, and on the pillars of rational independence laid the foundations of a great reiublic. Twice invested with Supreme Magistracy by the unanimous vote of a free people, he suipassed in the Cabinet the glories of the field, and, voluntarily resigning the scepter and the sword, retired to the shades of private life. A spectacle so new and so sublime was contemplated with the prefdrdest acmiiaticn, and the rame of Wsshirgfcn, re'dirg new luster to humanity, resourded to the rerrctest regior s of the earth. Magnanimous in youth, glorious through life, great in death. His highest ambition, the happiness of mankind, his noblest victory, the conquest of himself. Bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of his fame, and lui'ding his monument in the hearts of his eountryrren, he lived the ornament of the eighteenth century; he died regretted by a mourning world. ARMENIAN-SYRIAN RELIEF Union Meeting Sunday Night Baptist Church- . J. T. Bailey of Canton, is county chairman of the Armenian-Syrian Relief Fund committee. The choice is an excellent one It will disappoint no one. Mr. Bailey, in interest of this very worthy object, has arranged for a union meeting to be held next Sunday night in the Baptist church, Canton. On that occasion the speaker will be the Reverend Mr. West, pastor of the M. E. church, south, of Waynesville. It is hoped and expected a large crowd will attend.
