C.,—(AP)—Plans ,rif North Carolina and Tennessee ■to aoatiire and set aside an im¬ mense tract of land in the heart of itbe southern Appalachians as the Great Smoky Mountain National park moved nearer realization to¬ day with assurance that funds for the poject virtually are in sight. North Carolina council of state authorized the issuance of the $2. 000,000 bond issue, voted by the legislature, as the state’s major con¬ tribution to the park, while reports were that the additional $500,000 to be raised in North Carolina by public subscription was rapidly be¬ ing pledged. Meanwhile from Tennessee,came word that more that 15.000 per¬ sons had contributed to the public subscription fund to add to the leg¬ islature's appropriation of $1,500, <000 toward that state’s $2,500,000 ■quota. Estimates were that pub¬ lic subscription in both states al¬ ready had totalled $850,000, The quotas ot the two states will be combined to match dollar lor dollar the $5,000,000 donated by the Laura Spefnmn Rockefeller memorial. The ten million dollars has been declared ample to' assure the project. In addition to the $1,500,000 ap¬ propriation by the Tennessee legis¬ lature, tlie state also contributed So,000 acres of the land for the park. The city of Knoxville gave $92,000 toward the purchase price of the gdt of land. The city of Asheville alone has pledged half, or $250,000, of the amount North Carolina seeks .through public subscrption. Largest Eastern Park When completed the park will constitute probably the largest park east of the Rocky mountains, em¬ bracing approximately 427,000 acres of land, according to David C. Chapman, chairman of the Ten nessee park commission at Knox¬ ville, The area will lie half in North Carolina and half in Ten¬ nessee, taking in parts of the coun¬ ties of Swain, Haywood and Jack son in North Carolina and lilount, Sevier and Cook in Tennessee, The plan is to turn the park ovei to the federal government for up¬ keep after its establishment, no na¬ tional appropriation having been made because the government may not purchase parks but accept the gift of them. Bounded by the Big Pigeon and Little Tennessee livers, the park will contain the crest of tlie Great Smoky mountain which is the di¬ viding line between the two states. Geographically, Great Smoky Mountain National Park will lit close to the great centers of popu¬ lation. It is nearly halfway be¬ tween the Gulf of Mexico and the Canadian border. 15 miles closet to tiie Atlantic ocean than to the Mississippi river, it is nearer the corner of the state of Massachusetts than the city of Miami. A railway journey of less than 24 hours ex¬ tends to Chicago, while Xew York is as close. Twenty Miles From Knoxville The park, 56 miles from end to end, and 20 miles wide in its broad¬ est spot, will lie only 2o miles from Knoxville and 34 miles troi.i zYslie ville. Five big timber companies now are working land to be purchased for park area, Mr, Chapman said. The commission l u * s been opposeo to the lumber working because ol the loss of virgin timber. How¬ ever, the park officials declared,the area now contains tike largest body of virgin timber land left in the eastern United States, 200,000 acres of the area having never been Devoted the Agricultural, Commercial anc^lndustrial Interests of White County Leaf Leaflets We are having an abundance of rain at present : the farmers are getting behind with their farm work ; some guano agents are very busv in this section selling ferti¬ lizer.

Brown were visiting in this section, Sunday. The people have gone to cutting wood and making fires again as wittier has suddenly sat down in the lap of spring. The dove and brown thrasher have told of the vernal season but they saw the snow on the Blue Ridge and felt the cold north wind. The birds have quit singing and frogs have ceased croaking. A buggy with a horse pulling it passed through Monday. If some fellow was to oome along with a steer wagon some of us would lain u fright and leave home immediate !>V When tyartn weather arrives some of us will set our shoes aside utid try it barefooted. Some of the boys some little time ago went to work lhe road and left their shoes at home. The boss came very neat sending them home and told them to wear their brogans the next day. Style, you know, There was a tellow out in the edge of Lumpkin who had Ids son to write a letter for him. Afiei he had finished and the letter bail become cold he couldn’t read it. He told his son to seal and mail it and let it. go for they were better scholars over there than they were. They used to have big log roll¬ ings in the spring. It was on one of these occasions, that when din¬ ner time came all were hungry There wqs one fellow there who wa/vefy fond of ham. He was eating very fast and suddenly be came choked. They did all the) could think of to unchoke him. But Mr. Smi It thought of a new idea. He told him to get down on his all-fours, which he did. Mr. Smith got a piece of plank and told him when he hit for him b swallow. It popped like a rith and he shot into the opposite cor¬ ner. He was soon seated at tin table and they asked if lie was un choked. He said: “Yes the durn thing is gone. Please pass the ham.” We see where one fellow is charged with shooting halibuts. It is not any of us here for we don’t waste shot on so small a creature. We. shoot at large animals such as men, lions and deer. We havi ilways thought .that a bullbat was .1 whip-poor-will. After they raisi iheir young they fly late in tin evening with tLeir mouths open to catch gnats and sometimes bellow tike a bull. Mr. Shoal Greek, you tell that fellow who inis begun to believe in (he teachings of Darwinism, that ought to see us.

Once upon a time it happened that an old fox became very hungry and deciding look for some grapes, after :i while found them. He jumped and jumped but could not reach them. At last lie decided fie poll Id not reach thpm and fie said 1 “Oh ! web don't want them they are too -our. So it happens to be the case u itli some of the old bachelors. Some of them will say that thex don’t want to marry, but most ol them have a good reason for it— (hey can’t get anyone to say “yes.” School closed at pleasant Retreat ia-l Friday, Guess most of the people would have been better oil it it had never started,, The Shoal Creek correspondent was speaking some time ago about be girls wearing their dresses too short and punning their face. \\'t hink some of the old married men uid boys are getting just about as bid. Guess they will be wearing dresses pretty soon. Once upon a time, as the story goes, there was a great drought in lie land. All animals had about decided that they were going to have to go to another land when there was more water. So all the uiinuds decided to hold a counce! and decide whether they were go¬ ing to move to uuothet laud or not. The rabbit said that lie did not need to go to another land, lie could get all the water he wanted Irom the dew on the bushes and grass in the early morning. The other animals were very much pleased to know that they coulo gel enough water, but they soon tound that they could not get enough water from the dew, am Lhe rabbit never said a word, S< ihe other animals decided to fine tut where the rabbit was getting so much water. They come to ft no >ut that the rabbit had a little spring covered over with bushes uul he would go to it in the early morning and get what water he wanted and then cover it up. We don’t think any of the ani¬ mals will be forced to leave Whitt county for fear tLey will not have enough water. It looks like it has rained enough that they could find water most anywhere. It looks like tlie girls are visiting die boys right along. Charlit Thomas had a visit from his best girl one day last week. That’s it girls go ahead il the hoys are too baslit ul. Mr. Virgil Glover is not looking as pleasant as he was a few days before campmeeting, for he was looking for a chicken's leg then, but now iie is looking for a tnuu hole. Sure enough the other day ae found one, and soon lie found himself stuck hard and fast and Mr T. \\ . Warwick had to come ant; tiring a couple of mules to pull him out. Hey, down there Mr Shoal Creek writer, we do not need any more of your Shoal Creek boys uj diis way, as one of our good look¬ ing girls saw one of your boys coming to Sunday School and sht was soon on her way home just as hard as she could go. We think she knocked every mud hole, creek and branch dry that was in het way. Gh', girls, don’t be that bashful, we don’t think the boy’s teeth are very sharp.
