Cathey) \ Dillabore- Dillsboro is on the Jaek son connty map. She has a splendid water system. The water comet right out of the Mesaer mountain ami iHiiit piin-f uK,eun be. She has a fine graded school with a good man and a professional teach er at it's head.Good hotel ;two good stores; two charoh houses, Baptist and Methodist, with a revival of re ligion just closed which promises much for the uplift of the entire eom munity, for all time. Dillsboro now has what every community must have, good, neighborly spirit and eo: operation, especially iu the matter * of religion. ) - No community is of any account without the Christian religion-prac tical side up with care and grace. The Dillsboro revival was inter denominational conducted by Evan gelist Harvey 8tanber*y and Fat rick Colville? both earnest aa the Crusaders and plain men with a holy mission. Stanberry is a tyjfieal mean lain man, not "mountain white" for there are no other sort. Who evfer heard of a mountain black or a moutain red or a mountain yel low f OhjLordy, how that makes me; tired! Mountain whitest How abont prairie whits or Pied mont whites or Tidewater whites - Poof deluded fellows with year well-meant but humiliating epithet t We do not need youd money nor sym ) pathy when they come to us with that ignorant and pitiful imputa tion! We hndaiatand it Tee, indeed, we am white with ?U that word implies. Angloeaxton even Nordie, some of us, with. Scan dinavian v hair and eyes; hightoned, with a superabundance of native in- ' telligenee and plenty of grey matter susceptible of a mimulous' devtfoj? meat. When it oomes to to oar short comings and our needs we weleomc all neighborly assistance but other wise we are perfeotly able to take ~ care of ourselves. Who ever heard of a Scot or an Irishman who was not himself and his posterity able to take eare of themselves f That 's what we are, with, some tsubborn English and thrifty Dutch sandwiched in. We are thoroughbred. Well, I started to write my opinio of men like Stanberry ? they arc the hope of our mountain homeland. Stanberry is a reformed man?a converted man, if you please, believ ing in the Bible and the gospel with childlike simplicity. He is as earnest asMartin Luther and as modest and hunibel a son of our dear, old Christian grandmothers. He is per sonally plain of speech and action, and one of the most devoutly* win some and compelling pulpit orators I have ever heard. ( A speaker who can touch the he*rt cords of a big-fisted, hard-headed mountaineer can touch any other human unless it were a stark natur al fool or a modern scientific liberal Who is too intellectual for tears. There were eighty-odd conversions Mr. Jones, the Methodist Pastor assisted in the meetings. Both the evangelists are students of that, institution of splendid use fulness?Mars Hill College.
