We do not call the attention, of our visitors to the condition of our school grounds. . The Press regrets the impossibility of mentioning personally the names of all the visitors who have been in Franklin the past week. Rest assure that Franklin's -welcome ' to each' is sincere. Another year of mud,for our school children new seems ertain. Probably also another year's work in class rooms with'' temperature approaching the freezing point. v What's the town board going to do with the sewage? This matter is of vital importanceMo prospective pur chasers of lake property., . People who want to locate in Frank lin -will take one look at the school grounds and meditate. . "The Boy Scouts deserve the thanks of thousands for, the way in which they have handled the traffic situation at the tabernacle. We cannot do with out our Scouts. The little fellows need uniforms and Franklin must buy these uniforms. Quite a few who have Administrator notices published have failed to pay the publication fee. Hereafter this fee will be required in advance. Municipal Decency Last Sunday thousands of visitors saw Franklin and great was the sight thereof. The town was disgracefully dirty. In fact its condition is seldom otherwise. The mayor informs us that the town beard has refused to pcnnvit him to have the streets washed. Neither have they given him any authority over the municipal employ ees. Petty jealousies should not be tolerated in conducting the business affairr, of the town. Small town poli tics, has ruled Franklin since the good year 1S28. If we are to reap the full benefits of the developments now un der way our official actions must be based on broader principles than have heretofore obtained. . The mayor has no authority over the man who is hired to keep the streets clean. In fact no one seems to have any authority to direct this man's activities. No one seems to know what this man is supposed to do. the town board, and the board only, is responsible for this state ot affairs. Itwould appear that business men might perfect an organization more efficient than this. While the town board dilly-dallies with the ques tion of clean streets literaly thous ands of visitors come and go and make comments upon the unclean con dition of the town.( Nov that we have plenty of water some of this water should be used to ash the streets, especially Main t'e". The town board claims that c use - of water will wear out the streets. Probably in a hundred years. Water likewise will wear out kitchen utensils in time. Also a vig orous use of water and bath cloth will produce disastrous results upon a man's epidermis. Nevertheless no one wants to eat food cooked in un clean vessels nor parade the streets with an unclean body. There is no difference in principle between munic ipal and personal cleanliness. A dirty town, to a onsiderable ex tent, reflects the character of its citizenship. Now that Franklin has an opportunity to grow the condition of its streets should be such as to produce favorable comment from visitors. At present the reverse ob tains. Let us have municipal decency by cleaning the streets. ': Notice of Service of Summons by Publication North Carolina, Macon County. In the Superior Court. I. L.

' ' Never in the history of the town have prospects for a glorious future appeared so bright. .The sales of lots on holdings adjacent to the lake are daily increasing in number. More than 2,000 acres of land along the lake shores is available for develop ment purposes. A considerable pro portion of this land is now undergo ing development. It is only a ques tion of a short tine till hundreds of houses and a few hotels will be built on lake shore lots. ',' ' The advantages of these develop ments to Franklin are obvious. In 'addition to the thousands of home seekers that will locate in our town the question of abundant power mast also be onsidered of primary import ance. Two years ago only a .few dreamed of th jnagid transformation that is now takiing place ini Franklin and the dcams of the few wee .coun terbalanced by the., stolid indifference and pessimism of the masses. A year ago we had a board of alder men and a mayor who realized that Franklin's hour, had arrived. Con sequently they voted a bond issue for a power Jam." Today we are begin Ring to appreciate what that action meant Great developments are under way, fown property is changing hands', auction fales are of frequent .occtir . renCe, scores of men and women from JMonaa ana, elsewhere are here to invest in home sites in a land -where the Creator with lavish hand has made for man a paradise of moun tains, forests and streams. The Press believes that the names of the mayor and aldermen who initi ated the building of our power dam should be placed upon a bronze tab let and this tablet imbedded in the. , concrete of the power house so that future generations nay remember the names and honor the memory of those who have done so great a ser vice fcr Franklin.
