Appalachian Park Reserve.
For a number of years there has
been much talk ''f the National
Appalachian Park which would in
clude five million acres of forest
land, including territory from the
mountaios of Alabama to Pennsyl
vania. Several bills have been in
troduced int) congross lo make the
necessary appropriation to cover the |
expense of creating this reservation, |
but the iron hands of unkind
Alamance county is pushing to
the front. If you are not with your
shoulder lo the wheel, get out of the
way before you are run over.
The Dispatch will be
sent to anyone from
now until January first,
1910 by paying one dol
lar direct to the office.

drought and hurnoanes; for the strain, and even with
preservation of our water supply,
for the coutiauation of our congen

our game and the preservation of
its many species, the Southern Com
mercial Congress will meet in Wash-
Dgtion December the seventh and
ijuake necessary plans to lay our
claims before the Senate committee,
which will give « public hearing on
December the 9th to every friend of
this important and progressive step.
VVe call upon every citizen of
the sunny south, regardless of loca
tion or station, to raise their hands
and voice in behalf of the friends
who are making the greatest fight of
their lives for the greatest thing the
South has ever asked for its people
ard for our great government.
We call up^n the Chamber of Cora-
mer(;e aud the Merchants' Associa
tion of Burlington to mf>et at once
and draft and adopt atrong and ap-
peahng resolutions and forward
them to Washington not later than
December the Oth, so that they
may be used to overcome any oppo
sition that may at the present exist.
W'e call upon every citizen who
has any love for his home, for kith
and kin, for a congenial cLmate, for
our golden skies, for the life-giving
breezes that are tempered by the

pianist together were always greet
ed by cheers on the part ol' itK
audience. The violinist would ;lr.^v
your mind from the old time ohtirel;
organ with its sacred music to the
classic selections of our day.
But the part which caused most
merryment and laughter on the part
of the audience, and vyho was al
ways welcomed by a burst of cheers
was the reader, who showed, great
elocution training on her part. And
who Would h«ve you fancy in your
mind that you were a little child by
your father’s side, and in a moment
or twinkling of an eye would have
you see the lobster bite off the }^oor
dogs tail, the dog going home at a
two forty gate. We feel that every
one present must have enjoyed some
part of the programme, as it was
rendered so as to entertain the un
trained mind as well as the mind
which could grasp the ideas of the
most difficult selection.
The only regret we have is that
the weather was so inclement that a
number of our friends who would
have been present were unable to
get there.
