We visited our boyhood home
and church last Sunday. We
know now that bushes make tree*
for if the same bushes had been
there we know we could have
found pieces of cotton checked
shirts, bed ticking, suspenders and
little speckled straw hats hanging
on them. Although we were dis¬
appointed in that we could recall
the happy days spent there work¬
ing a little when it was not too hot
or cold, too wet or dry, playing
with the pups, chasing the cats,
eating green apples and ripe cu¬
cumbers, longing for Sunday and
Christmas, dreading Monday morn¬
ing and the first day of school,
those days were a Garden of Eden
to. us.
We wish somebody would get
married or some fellow who faels
bad would get lots better so there
would be something to talk about.
We wish we bad a job so we
could get off on a vacation.

The biggest day the mountains
ever had was the mammouth bar¬

It has been estimated that be¬
tween 8,000 to 10,000 people at¬
tended this great day in the moun¬
tains.

ernor Walker, John N. Holder,

welcome address to the guests to
the mountains.
Just as the hour to serve the bar¬
becue was at hand it began raining
however everyone who willed en¬
joyed a sufficient amount of bar¬
becue. The rain made the pro¬
gram for the afternoon impossible.
About half the delegation drove
to Murphy where they were de¬
lightfully entertuitred by the pro
gressive citizens of that town.
Mr. John C. Ledford says he
counted to a certain hour 250 auto¬
