" * Advertising North Carol:na FOR the pa-t ten days attention h:;> been drawn to North Carolina as rev r he-, for*? in the same length of time. Governore, road officials of the Federal Govern-: 1 ment and the v.-uious states and r. pr? senta-; lives from nineteen South Ameiuan countries have bten touring the state inspecting' the roads and being entertained. The mag- 1 nitude of the road program has never b fore bten so fully realized as it has been during this period and these ffieials are 1 going back huiue uosleia of iht Noi'tn CoTO- , lina way r.f d ng business. They are going to spread the geod word of progress m the Old North State throughout this country when they go hack home. This will have Its effect. Peopl like to he in ;ogre.ssive! and prosperous states, counties and towns This will undoubtedly >erve to bring many people to North Carolina to live a-.il invt->and ' to do business. As for the South Ann rican n- jl.' . r-, it will form a bond of friendship between us end them, betv.-efn North and Suu;'., ca. At time? in the past th .liny hr. not been any too fr-ndly with ->me of .hecountries to the South. Th I-atir: American delegates have bten treat- ; royally in North Carolina and i nthis . untry in general and they will become b t r: :'or bet-^ ter relations of all kinds. This will probably mean that more trade wil be turned to this continent as a result of their \i.-it. All Europe is clamoiing for it. T'ni- cordial entertainment enuyed a', cur hands will give us a tremendous advan .gt We may expect to enjoy the benefit.- of their visit for years to come. A Day For Our Friends THE celebration being planned for Muron the 4th of July is for the primary purpose of entertaining the people in Cher-: ckce and surrounding counties ir. North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Through out the year these people come to Murphy; for the purpose of buying and selling. It Is a practical business proposition. Oil1 thl'l one dnv. thr h-.iR:ne?? ami nrnfpasinnal nco pie of Murnhy want to h?ve the- citizens in I their trado territory pay them a friendly visit. The townspeople *rant to act as host to their friends :r. the neighboring towns and counts. They went to show thrir ap-. prsciat on of the friendly spirit that permeates th?'r bu iness relations. They want Jicir fries dS mis mo surrounding counties to know that Murphy is not selely interested in tht ir trade, but alse interested ID their friendship and "eighboriincss. '' THE Ct To this end a full day is being planned for the Fourth and an effort will be made to have everything free. This will require considerable outlay on the part of the busl-; ness people of the town, hut it will pay in 1 the long run. If the peop* i nthe surrounding territory feel that Murphy wants them to come here ar.d visit and to enjoy thlr 1 idle mcments, they will be all the more ready ' to come here to trade and spend thtir j money. It is humar. nature to trade where ' one feels welcome and whtre one likes to go. The peopl- of Murphy have always he'd out a welcome to their friends ir the surrounding territory and their spirit of : go. d will imnnses yearly, rather than dl- ' mii*ishes. Oceasi- ns i'ke the one b^ing planned on the Fourth will be one long to be remembered by those who come e?n that day and i: will do much to bring the people 1 back during th<. intervening days. Let's bend every effort to make this day a sue- i es??Ihi people in the surrounding terrl- I tory t? norae; the people of Murphy * ? en- ' tertain th ni. The Building And Loan i THE 1 -eri? - I the ?Iurphy Build- '< I A - !!. an Association will bo open ' the first Saturday in July anil .!>t through ' he month.

It is just sale: it lay- a large return; it keps the money at home; it helps build the town in w'i'- h one makes his living; it has the unusual advr.rtare < <" h lping someone else without entailing any personal sacrifice.

If we are already in the association, we should seriously consider taknp more shares; if we ae not, then we hruld pet in. It we know about the a>oeiation nlan. we should tr 11 others; if we' do not know about it. we should ask others. Tf we krow anvone who should take stock in this next next series, we should ?peak to them. It is a mutual proposition for the mutual pood. Let everyone interest himself or hzrself in it.

MUWHT, WOK fH CAI A Living Monument WITH the pacing of former Governor' Locke Craig, his accomplishments naturally spring up in one's mind. Some remember him i"r one thing, some another. An achievement that the average man doe? not la:/ much .-tore by, but will, as tim go*? on, be rec<?enixed as one of the important achievements of hi? official career, is the establishment t M- unt Mitchell a? a StatePark. It was largely through his effort? that the legislature was induced to make anappropriation for the purchase of the summit of Mount Mitchell as a -tat- park and timber r? The timber on th* mountain had 5 e: -wld before the state came into p?m-> or. ? f the park, hut through proper pr tection it will anew itself Ir. the cours* >;' time and much of its natural beauty will : ? restored. The park also p??se?ses gr .t economic fossiotntns. As the summit of this historic mountain i- rti\r sted it \\;11 become a irce of timber and serve to lejkntish our ED FIVE? fast dwindling supply of lumber. It wili f i ve to r rpeiuate the fast dwimllying sup-j , ly of sprue which is becoming exhausted! n the Southern Appalachians. Most if u- j probably <!? not realize it. iut the time is not distant a- it i it was when tin supply} uf timber in the Southern A; palachian-. wiii t?e practically xhaast.d for omimercial purposes. Mi unt Mitchell and th? -tate pan; s a beginning. Other efforts must be made. The: ar? thousands of acres < i i?i!t and in the state that are un.-nited fo- ords-i nary farming. They i ould be jsed to advantage for urov.ing timber. When the i er shortage is m? re fully aliz.d, the h.te Governor Ciaig will be .cclainud for hi- vision and foresight in he establishment <.t this timber rcseive and! state' park. 1 he Grim Reaper TIIK grin ;?r stalks t! ugh the land | at all si sons.

The ptord. of Murphy and Ch rokee County ought to back you to the limit. The merchants oujrht to advertise in ycut paper, not a**- a i'av< r to you. but because it is a paying: proposition to them. "C-.mpr natively icw merchants realize that a w 11 written advertisement, with truth ad vim and vigor woven into it. is the be-t peyir.gr proposition on earth, for the | money inve-ted. It is a millionaire maker, i The skv is its limit. Those who dh> realise I it scon bee nn rich and famous. Th? great i.'Usines o? Marshal Field. John Wannamaker?the chewing gum king?are monuments to the art of advert:?:r.g. Wriglev spends ten thousand dollarn a day advertising hewing gum. As you know, ar.d p^rhap onu of the Murphy merchants do not know, ihe highest salaries paid by these men are to idvertising writers. "The sinirlest advertisrmer.ts pull best. Explain what you have. T?l! the price and terms. That begets confidence and confidence begets success." Too much poultry this year, prices not good, then wipe out the surplus by a inoperative carlot shipment.

In d small town some years ago a few interested souls built a small house of worship. As the years passed by it became apparent that a larger and more servic able * uilding was necessary -n order to meet the crowing demand? <?f the community. The L'ndtrshepherd of the little church found j himself confronted with a problem striking-| ly similar to the problem in our lesson. This man did a very wise thing. Instead try- { irg to extract from the pockets of his par-' ishoners the. necessary funds he w* nt to his J Bi' !e and in the spirit of prayer studied J (id's own method < f building. In hi? study he found three general methods as purrued that taod tabooed two ol these. The fi:-t method commonly employ t I Is what v.i might term the stockholders met;:- ; >:1. In building any busing. thr.* is :f 1 interest to a large number of people much to be willing: to do the will of God for then j and then only shall they kntvv the will of God. ? A ship ran aground in a sandy shoal. The great engines struggled to release her hut I in vain. A few hours of patient waiting and the inconvng tide easily lifted her from her position and swept her out upon the high seas. If your church U and *\\ ihe might of your young me* ec the mental ability of your old men dors not avail to move you out upon the high seas of service remember that the Spirit of God will lift you and use you if ystir life purpose is in j-etl nort >- to H'ii -owe- n .K.ii. i i. n urchast r a stockhoMe? in the conam.

His people btcame v? i in the .-ciiptures hut somehow there did not seem to be the moving power that has marked less Uarned group.-. Ht had it impressed upon h - mind ir an unforgetable way that "EDUCATION WITHOUT UKGENERATION DOES NOT BRING RK-! FORMATION." No amount of grading and training and teaching and learning i- -uf- ' fit ie? t to build the House that God will hon?i. So in despuir he gave un this idea.

I do net propose u? counte! nance every Hclv Ghost r viva! so called. { For sometimes the Holy Spirit is said to be responsible for ?ome rather queer things* : I but I do say that if the hearts of a worship-i ping congregation arc being dir. et d by J the Holy Spirit Himself then that congrega- j tion will seive its community in a manner j that Gad will honor.
