We went to the Methodist church
this morning, found a church full
of children jusi coming oui of Sun
day school. The church was soon
tilled with grown people. The R-v.
Mr. Herman preucheJ an able ser
mon from 12th chjpter of John
and 26th verse: "If any man
serve me. lei him follow me; and
where I am there shall also my
servant be; if any man serve me,
linn will my Father) honour. " A
powerful texi and a strong sermon.
Tlie church was lull and such sing-
ii'U It seemed as if everybody
joined in with heart and soul, lie
announced ilui lin y expected soon
to build a $50,000 church and thai
ihcir assets were more tliun $12,
000 in hand. Vi e enjoyed the
sermon and singnu!
J u n.ilusk j is only about two
miles from this place and is said to

tiful homes with about 3,000 peo

Chief Justice Pearson. Mr. New,
the Rector here and formerly a
Rector at Grace church in Weldon,
preached from the 9th chapter 35th
verse of Matthew : "And Jesus
went about all the cities and villages
leaching in their synagogues and
preaching the gospel of the king
dom and healing every disease
among the people." Mr. New
preached better than I ever heard
him He was looking better and
fatter, and his voice was stronger.
After service I had the pleasure of a
pleasant chat with him and his wife.
This evening we walked two
miles up these long, steep hills to
the cemetery and back, four miles
in all, and something over two
miles tonight, but I would have
walked a few more miles rather
than tell the ladies, being used to
these walks, they did not dream of
my pains. I am too tired to write
more tonight.

Mrs. Singleton, of Georgia, Miss
Videtto, of Augusta, Ga., Mrs. J.

an automobile ride to Lake Juna
luska today and travelled over the
beautiful roads surrounding the
lake and terraces, on which we
saw some fine houses, some grand
and magnificent in structure and
locations, and I never knew North
Carolina had such scenery as there
is in this section. We enjoyed it
every minute of the trip. These
are such earnest people in all they
undertake, and so hospitable Such
strong, healthy-looking folks. Such
delightful weather. The air islike
a tonic and the water so pure and
good.
We had the good fortune to be
invited to tea to meet Baroness

BLUE RIDGE.
Interesting Letter from This Fa
mous Resort.
August 6, 1921.
It seems hardly possible that we
who three days ago were swelter
ing under a blazing August sun in
Weldon should now be sitting by a
huge oak log fire in an immense
natural rock fire place, sleeping
under double blankets and wishing
for more. But true it is and the
change is delightful. Just a year
ago we reached "Blue Ride" and
became acquainted with Robert E,
Lee Hall and its beautiful sur
roundings. Set in the side of a
mountain it nestles amid natural
beauties of mountain peaks, run
ning streams which supply the
power for the entire equipment,
lights, water, steam, heat when
needed and a larj; concrete bath
ing pool within Rfiy feet of the
porch and the room in which we
are located. The sloping lawn in
front set with huge boulders show
ing up above the velvet green, re
cedes into a well kept park of nat
ural mountain growth of trees and
flowers and intersected by the
curved driveway leading up to the
very steps of R. E. Lee Hall. No
dust, no mosquitoes, no noise of
any kind, except the voices of hap
py children and others who are
enjoying the delights of the moun
tain air, the swimming pool and
other recreations provided for all
who come to Blue Ridge.
There are many eminent speak
ers here, preachers, teachers,
Christian workers and whole fam
ilies, from all over Virginia to the
University of Texas and one es
pecially, who while he claims to be
a Tarhoel is a professor in the I'ni-1
versity ol New York, but is here :
holding classes in Teacher Train- '
ing for the Sunday School. His :
exposition on class yesterday ol
Jesus at the well in Samaria was
demonstrated in such a way as to
ilirill those who heard him. A
special attraction for two evening ,
hours has been Senator "Sawney" j
Webb, of Bell Buckle, Tenn. I Ins
lecture on an ideal community was
much enjoyed while lasi evening
he delighted the company with im
promptu humorous stories of his
own experience as a soldier of the
Confederacy in the war between
the States. 1 will say just here
that the atmosphere at Blue Ridge
while loyal and patriotic is strictly
Southern and Senator Webb's
stories were something on the line
of Polk Miller and thoroughly en
joyed. Another very popular visitor
here is a lady from Norfolk who is
a second Mrs Joe Person in a
small way, although she is eighty
two years old delights the eompauy
with Dixie and all the South
ern airs even down to Old Dan
Tucker, played without notes of
any kind and an exquisite touch.
Well this is long enough but later
will tell you something more of
this unique but happy place.

GROWINO OOLDEN MELONS.
We copy the following from the
Sampson Democrat and suggest to
our friend Jacob Dickens to pro
cure some of the seed :
"Mr. A. B. Page, our occasional
correspondent in Northwest Samp
son, brought us a curiosity in the
form of a watermelon Monday.
The melon was normal in shape
but about one-third of the rind had
the color of a pumpkin or cante
luupc. When cui liie melon was
found to be very delicious and
thoroughly watermelon. Mr. Page
noticed melons with yellow spots
upon them, and from the seed of
one of the spotted melons this one
has probably come with a resulting
increase in the tendency to the
golden color. Mr. Page saved
seed from the melon in question
and will probably find among its
progeny even a more pronounced
tendency to the golden. It may
be that he will be able to grow
within a few years a melon of gol
en color in its entirety. Sunburn
ing then would probably be less
pronounced than with the green
variety.'
We never catch a fish as big as

A LITTLE ADVF.RTISINO TALK.
The chances are that you, the
person reading this newspaper,
want some particular thing and
would buy it if you knew where to
find it. And the chances are that
some oilier person in this commu
nity has that particular thing and
would sell it if he could find a pur
chaser: But you do not know that your
neighbor has that particular thing
to sell, and he does not know that
you want to buy it. Unless 'you
meet up with each other, you will
never make a trade.
That is where advertising comes
in. If you will place an advertise
ment in your local paper, telling of
your needs, your neighbor will
read it. If he will place an adver
tisement in the paper telling of
what he has to sell, you will see it.
Many wants and needs go unfill
ed, many bargains are lost, because
they are not advertised and made
known. More people would uc
the advertising columns of the
newspapers If they would just stop
and think of the good they may
derive from iheir use.

A GOOD many motorists
do not realize what an
intimate relation there is be
tween the life of a tube and
the life of a tire.
Hartford Tubes are made
to lengthen the life of Hartford
Tires of any good tires.
Let a tube have the slightest
thing the matter with it, let
there be a slow leak around the
valve or any imperfections in
the rubber, and the tire suffers.
It is always safe to be very
particular about the tubes
you buy. Just as particular
as we were when we selected
Hartford Tires and Tubes to
uphold our business reputation.
