Save Your Exhibits and Carry Them to the Sandhill Fair, Nov. 16-17-18 THE PILOT VOLUME NUMBER Devoted to the Upbuilding of Vass and Its Surrounding Country SUBSCRIPTION $2.a0 VASS, N. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921 PRICE FIVE CENTS SANDHILL FAIR NEWS Miss Anne Gregory, of Chase City, Va., who is to direct the Annual Pageant at the Sandhill Fair, arrived last Saturday and is now visiting all the schools, selecting her cast and ar ranging for rehearsals. She has met with a very hearty response every where and is very enthusiastic over the outlook. Mr. Picquet says that requests are coming in from the Communities which have recently held fairs, for space at the Sandhill Fair and every thing points to the biggest and best exhibit ever seen in the Agricultural building. Work is now progressing on the new restaurant and dining hall at the Pinehurst Fair grounds which means ample accomodations for those who will want anything from a “hot dog” to a complete dinner. This is an im provement which many will appreci.- ate. Death of Mrs. Fred W. Taylor THE WILMINGTON ROAD The bulletin from the road depart ment at Raleigh says that contracts have been let for several of the cul verts on the road that connects Wil mington with Fayetteville, as well as some stretches of the road that re* main to be built. This is further help toward that road that is iilti- mately to pass by Vass from Wilming ton and Fayetteville to High Point, Winston-Salem and the mountains and the northwest. Gradually the road pushes forward, and it is only a question of time until two through routes will pass this way, the other being that from Raleigh by Cameron and Southern Pines to Florida. After only a few days of suffering, Mrs. Lillie Leslie Taylor died at her home here, on Tuesday morning, Oct. 18, at the age of 46 years. Mrs. Taylor’s sickness was of but brief duration, less than a week. Seeming ly with us today, active in life’s round of duty and love, but gone to morrow.. All the care and love that skilled physicians, nurses, and an anxious household could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance were % brought into play, but the fiat of Him who rules our incoming and out going had been issued and after a brief struggle, despite the prayers and entreaties of all who knew and loved her, their appeals were over ruled and the sufferer’s spirit took its flight to that home the Christian believes is the fulfillment of the life everlasting. Mrs. Lillie Taylor, daughter of the late Dr. James A. and Mrs. Annie Les lie, was born in July, 1875, and was married to Frederick W. Taylor on December 28, 1905. To this union two children were born: Frederick Leslie Taylor, who is left to mourn the loss A TRIP OUT WEST of a mother, and one daughter that died in infancy. Mrs. Taylor joined' the Manly Bap tist church at the age of 12 years and later moved her membership to Southern Pines. After the organiza tion of the Baptist church at this place she became a member here, and had been Treasurer of the church since its organization. She was also a teacher in the Sunday School. She received her education at Ox ford College and among us all she ranked always as a woman of culture, refinement, sympathy, a kind neigh bor, devoted mother and a true friend. She was a woman of strong Christian character, always bright and cheer ful, devoted to the duties of her home and family and taking great pleasure in making others happy. Besides the husband and son, F. W. and Frederick L. Taylor, one brother, W. C. Leslie, two sisters. Misses Florence and Myrtle Leslie, and a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. Interment was made at 3:30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, at Union church cemetery, where father, mother and little daughter are buried. Mss Louise Graves Still in the Lead. Niss Sanford Goes Into Second Place LAKEVIEW DID WELL While the weather was not favor able to conditions at Lakeview Mr. Harrington had a good business, and the attendance was of such a number and also of such a type that the next summer is practically assured the best season the place has ever knoown. The determined stand against objec tionable characters and conduct strengthened the hold Lakeview has on the right kind of people, and they came in increasing delegations. What is best of all they went away pleased with their outing, and highly impress ed with the virtues of the Lake and its management and the surroundings. The fourth week of the voting con test for the most popular young lady to represent the Fairy Queen in the Parade at the Fair finds Miss Graves with exactly the same 4ead over her opponents which she held last week, but with Miss Lois Sanford in second place and Miss Pearl Hurley third, and Southern Pines introducing a new candidate in Miss Doris Eddy. The interest is steadily growing as shown by the increase in the total vote over last week of 445 and by the introduction of new candidates. The last ballot will appear in the issues of the week of October 30th, or two more after this week. The Secretary finds it will be neces sary to have all ballots in not later than Monday night of each week in order to get the report into one of the local papers which goes to press one day earlier than the others. The vote this week brings the to tals as follows:— Louise Graves, Carthage 1065 Lois Sanford, Vass 670 Pearl Hurley, Aberdeen 360 Helen Ruggles, So.

McLean, Cameron 5 Total 3620 AN EARLY FALL The frosts of last week are earlier than usual, and they have been so severe that the cotton is finished, and the other crops must now be harvest ed. Sweet potatoes have reached their growth, and all garden stuff has done its growing except such things as collards. Cotton picking has bean going on fast, but it can be wound up now as soon as the folks can get to it. The potato crop is not of the best. SANDHILL FAIR BALLOT These Five Votes are Cast FOR OF to represent the Fairy Queen in the Parade of Fairies at the SANDHILL FAIR, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17th, 1921. Fill out the above ballot for your favorite candidate and mail it to CHAS. W. PICQUET, Sec’y, Pinehurst. (By J. V. Snipes) Dear Editor: The writer having returned from a trip through the Blue Ridge and Al leghany Motintains we mention some of the sights taken in on our trip. We left Southern Pines on the S.A.L. fast train Ho. 4, which put us into Richmond, Va., the same day. We then went out to the battle ground at Seven Pines, which place every soldier that( was in the Civil War remembers well. The place was rightly named, for in the edge of the Federal cemetery seven huge pines stand in a row. We were there told that thousands had fallen at this place. The next day we came back to Petersburg where we took a train on the main line of Norfolk and West ern R. R., and went as far as Appo- matox Court House where we went to old Appomatox. We saw the spot of the uprooted apple tree which is marked by a large iron tablet stating that Gen. Lee waited there on the morning of April 9, 1865, for Gen. Grant’s surrender. There were sever al of these tablets scattered about marking different places as to where the army stood and so on. The old McLean house that the General went in to sign peace terms had been torn down but lay on the ground. The en tire village had grown up to weeds; could not find but one family living in the village and no one to tell a stranger anything. By ,chance we found the North Carolina monument which was erected there some years ago and noted with interest the name of the late Honorable H. A. London, of Pittsboro, inscribed on the stone among the five or more commission ers. The new Appomatox Court House was moved from the old site some years ago, 3 miles south to a spot on the N. & W. R. R., which accounts for the old court house going down. Our next stop was Lynchburg^ which is known as the Hill City, and this too is well named for some of the streets are so steep that when we got to the top we could almost look down the chimneys on the streets below. A days stop in this city was sufficient for us and now we took the west bound train of N. & W. for the West. We started right into the Blue Ridge Mountains which are piled up all around us; we saw but little space for farming,^ perhaps an orchard on the side of a mountain, semmingly a mile high and steeper than a houose top. It looks as if every apple that fell would roll a mile to the ravine below. We next came to Roanoke, Va., which is a great railroad center; we are just now getting started on the most interesting part of our trip. (To be continued) The one redeeming featui*e of a pown-shop is the ticket.
