Jolley served as a ranger histor
ian at the Mabry Mill visitors’
center on the Blue Ridge Park
way. Mabry Mill, a well known
landmark for travelers motoring
south along the Parkway, is en
tirely water-powered. With its
enormous, slowly-turning wheel
and creaking wooden ma
chinery, the mill is an outstand
ing example of early mountain
industry.
Mill and Still
Today, for the enjoyment and
enlightenment of the thousands
of visitors who come into the
area each year, the beautifully
preserved old mill grinds corn
and buckwheat in the manner
of more than a generation ago.
Other exhibits include a water-
powered sawmill, a blacksmith’s
shop, a whiskey still and facili
ties for leather-tanning and shoe
making.
Mr. Jolley’s duties involved
the delivering of short talks and
explanations regarding the op
eration of the old equipment.
As a park ranger he was curi
ously stared at, constantly pho
tographed, and bombarded with
all sorts of questions. Once he
helped a scout from the Art
Linkletter television show who
was trying to find a man that
had never seen a train. On an
other occasion Mr. Jolley was
approached by a young lady, and
he insists that the following
conversation took place:
“You’re a park ranger, aren’t
you?’’
“Yes.”
“What do you do?”
“Whatever may be necessary.
May I help you; or was there
something you wanted?”
“Yes. Kiss me.”
One additional detail: the
young lady was five years old.
An especially interesting
phase of Mr. Jolley’s work was
the gathering of material for a

Mr. Harley E. Jolley, instructor in history and geography, has
come to be a familiar and well known figure in the classroom
of the college since he joined the faculty here in 1949. In fact,
many of his students may find it difficult to visualize him in any
other role. For the past two summers, however, Mr. Jolley has
put aside his textbook and blackboard and donned the uniform
of a park ranger for the National Park Service.
During this past summer Mr.
book on early mountain indus
try and fast-disappearing local
customs which the Park Service
hopes to bring out soon. Using
a government cabin as a base
of operations and equipped
with sketching pad and note
book, Mr. and Mrs. Jolley set
off into the hills.
Their search for information
would take them into the home
of an outstanding lawyer one
day and into the company of a
local bootlegger the next. Every
one responded graciously. One
old whiskey-maker of 72 was
reputed locally to have run off
a thousand gallons for every year
that he had been in operation.

Announce Officers
A spry old man of 76 that Mr.
Jolley located in a corn field
offered a sure cure for rheuma
tism:
“Find a large rattlesnake and
skin him. Tan the hide and
wrap around the part affected.
Guaranteed to cure.”
Another scheme involved the
treatment of weak eyes:
“Capture the fattest skunk
possible and render his fat in
to lard. Use the lard as salve
and rub onto the eyes. Marvel
ous results reported.”
And so it went. Instructions
for making a mountain rifle,
methods of apple-butter making,
techniques for wagon-making —
precious information that is in
danger of becoming lost forever
in the oncoming rush of modern
times — filled the Jolley’s note
books. Mr. and Mrs. Jolley re
turned to Mars Hill this fall
bringing with them a wealth of
memories and experiences.
The Campus Choir is directed
by Joe M. Naff and the College
Choir by Thomas Cole.
