I. L.

The villages were planned with the idea of interesting visitors, and then some chap who had tied himself in perma nently conceived the notion of making the surroundings pleasant for all of the population, permanent and tem porary. So grew up that proposi tion of making all the Sandhills de lightful, and streets and lawns, and good water, and good milk and schools and churches, and good stores, and good roads, and good any old thing that could be thought of was sug gested. Other folks dropped in to get a bit of this climate and to play golf in Sunshine land, and to play and en joy a bit of freedom of life away from the cares anmpulsions of the stren uous days of business, i^nd then commenced the purchase of this Sandhill land to make homes.

BOYD’S NEW BOOK HAS GREAT SALE Advance Contracts Account for Over Sixty Thousand Copies. James Boyd’s new book, “Marching On,” is a phenomenal surprise. It will go on sale at Hayes’ Book Store in Southern Pines May 2, but already orders are booked there for about 50 copies, and the publishers have contracts in hand for about 60,000 copies of the book as fast as deliv eries can be made. This is one of the biggest advance sales ever made by a work of this sort, and is at tracting a lot of attention in New York, and wherever books are dis cussed. The new book will probably outsell the first work of the author, “Drums,” which was one of the best sellers.
