Will you please enter my name and send me your bill, I will remit by return mail. As I am a Tar Heel and born and reared in Cherokee County. I would like to have the news from home. I am the son of, James A. Payne, no doubt you will remember me for I was in more devilment than any of the other kids. I wish to say that Western North Carolina is far better off in prosperity than the country in a general way. Far I found the East and South also the North and Middle States last summer and I find the general Standard's very low. I am thinking very seriously of buying me some property in the Western part of the county and I might be able to get in touch with some one through the Scout. I regret very much that I did not invest in some last Spring. I wish to say to the Scout and the people of Cherokee County that this is no place out here for a North Caro linan. Just as soon as I finish my course here in the Engineers I am ready to come back again. Wishing you and Cherokee County the Prosperious Year of many. Respetcfully, (MARK O. PAYNE, club members.
