A PROPHECY qn
HOME LOCATIONS.
One of the most forceful prophecies of the future home
development of the Sandhills is seen in the two new houses
built by Judge W. A. Way and James Barber at Mid-Pines.
These houses stand between the Midlands road and the
golf course. From the road they present an attractive ap
pearance. But to see just what they are they must be seen
from the golf front.
There is a picture. On the ridge above the expansive green
lawn of the course, facing that great park that the golf course
will always be, fronting the pine groves that top the neighbor
ing knobs, those two new houses tell beyond all peradventure
that in a year or two Mid-Pines will be surrounded by a con
tinuous border, of tasty cottages that will , make that com
munity one of the most popular of any golf center in the
world.
For a location confer with: A. S. Newcomb, Pinehurst,
P. Frank Buchan, Southern Pines, S. B. Richardson, Southern
Pines, or Leonard Tufts, Manager of Knollwood, Inc.

AIR SERVICE FOR
PINEHURST
Arrangements have been made with L. E
Shealy of Charlotte, to provide air nights
i for visitors at Pinehurst this season and
to establish here a class for flying in
struction. Mr. Shealy is a thoroughly
capable and reliable man, having served
nearly three years in the air service of
the United States Navy during the waT,
and Pinehurst is fortunate in securing the
services of such a competent pilot. Dur
ing his five years' flying experience he
has flown seventeen different types of
hydro and land planes and has from 25
to 400 hours flying time in eaeh. He
recently made the trip from Philadelphia
to Wilmington, N. C, in a hydro-plane
in 6 hours and 57 minutes.
The machine to be used at Pinehurst
is what is known as a Curtiss Canuk, in
which Mr. Shealy has 400 hours flying
time to his credit and has never met with
an accident. In addition to short pleas
ure flights from the field he will take
passengers on cross-country trips to any
place they want to go, and will give
lessons in the art of flying to any who
desire. Mr. Shealy says that no 'stunts'
will be indulged in unless requested by the
passenger and that no passenger need
feel uneasy from this source. He expects
to start operations at Pinehurst around
December 15, and those who are inter
ested in this sport will find him at the
flying field.
