Dear Mr. Rivers: I have just read the In teres ing article in the Democrat ei titled "Paradise ... On Riel Mountain." Oae of the mail reasons ft is quite interestini to me is the fact that I wa present when Adam Doughert; read his great poem titled 'TTi Tatpr HW” on gept. 26, 1903 As h» stood on this high peal «a Rich Mountain. I well if member how he pointed in dil ferent directions toward thi various mountains he had refer eoce to in the poem. Indeed,' b was hafd of |he hjlls pnd jya; Jrnown all over Watauga Count; and, doubtless, all oyer westm North Carolina. One of the mail treasons I became much interest pd in waiting verse myself M parly life was caused by meet jng him and heaping him re^ his beautiful “Pater pi#" poem A great throng of peopli from aU .oyer the .country wen present that .Sunday moralni (when the poem was read, at tracted not only to hear th« ppem, hut to pat the tree dm nor that Honprahte R. Z. PK ney, owner of the mountain hpd prepared- Bp made a briel speech as he stood pear th< poet, and ip his speech he yud: *‘I had twenty fat Uunbs killed for this occasion, but after see ing John Bingham’s white teeth ( Wish I had killed twenty more.” It was Mr. money who loved this mountain retreat so pouch that he named it “The Paradise of Rich Mountain.” Mr. fanney passed away year? pgo and is buried here in the Taylorsville cemetery. Adam Dougherty likewise passed on, but of course quite a number of the elderly people iu Wa tauga and western North Caro lina, and perhaps eastern Ten nessee, still remember him. Na turally, his poem will live os to commemorate his poetical genius. Some years after My. Doueh erty composed bis “Tgter Hilt" poem, Mr. Shepherd M. Dugger (Monroe) wrote some lines about the mountain, a part pf which reads: ‘Between old Boone and Zion vflle rhere is a knoll, Potato ffifl, Which stands upop a mountain' high rhat all may see who passes by, \ stone wall stands down at its feet k lawyer built that he might beat rrom lower climes * cool re treat."

C April S3, 1D66 - IVftMhto C&tb 0/EcwI 1 Writes Of Moose Eggs 1 Mr. Editor: Haying just moved hath here, I did not see Dr. Heavrin’s 1 letter on ’’Moose Eggs’’ until' the other day. I would like toj explain to Dr. Heawin that there really are Moose eggs., Moose eggs are the source of the spirit .of fraternalism, prac ticed by all good Moose mem bers in the United States, Great pritain and Canada. They also contain in the.lr very solid shells' the principles of protection for the family of a member; security in the sunset years of their' lives for a member and his wife; opportunities galore to engage in ciyjc sendee endeavor; the opportunity for fun, fellowship and fraterneJiem in the more than <2,000 Moose Lodges in the United -States alone. Yes, Dr. He&vrin, w« in the. Moose fraternity are tremend ouly croud of our “Moose eggs.”; fVere ft not for the seeds oi fraternalism and belief in the brotherhood pf man on which pur fraternity, is founded, nvr Order would not today number more that) a million of the r nation’s finest men. And, jeaeif pne of our members is, in the ory, if not in actuality, hatched from that same '‘Moose egg” Which you say you have never seen. Many people have never seen Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, pr ghosts on Hailoween. But . . . many still believe that they egiat. i« all reality, as laid by real, four-footed Moose, there is a alight possibility that Moose eggs do net redly e*ist; in the Mepse fraternity, os a start in the direction that the, Moose is tbe finest fraternity in the world, and a sincere, ardent belief that every eligible person should belong to the; Loyal Order of Moose, we Ao believe in Moose eggs.

By press-time, details on the grant had not been received from the Economic Develop ment Administration. “The Town has voted the bonds on the basis of $1,110,000 for the sewage system, and $000,000 for the water system. Moore, Gardner & Associates said Monday they are complet ing the plens^ andhope.tp have ■ill,their materials readjr to ask; icy bids the latter part .of June.' The project will be divided into several segments. For ex ample: Sewer lines nOfth of King Street and lines south will each have a separate contract, as will the sewer plant itself. The water system will be divid ed up in jt similar manner. Brown says .the "reason for this is so that a larger’ num ber of contractors can bid on the project. “It yip be necessary to go on and complete the engineers’ plans, let them out for bids and get all bids in before the money can be allotted.” The water-sewer bonds were approved by Boone voters on May 22, ig65.
