THE POLK COUNTY NEWS. n?ASEEMPURCHASER TELLS OF LAKE TRIP Writes Appreciative Account of Her Visit to Property? From Georgia It Is refreshing to receive from a recent lot purchaser the following unsolicited account of her trip to Lake Lanier as the guest of the Tryon Development Company. It Indicates an appreciation of the company's efforts to entertain pleasantly all who are Interested in the Lake Lanier development and The News la pleased to publish it in part. The writer is Mrs. R. R. Hatcher, ot Harlem. Ga. On Tuesday morning a congenial party of Harlem, Appling and Thomson people, conducted by Miss Sallie Stuy and Mrs. Johnn Lamkln boarded the Lake Lanier bus for the mountains of western N. C. After a brief stop In Augusta at their office, of which Mr. Crowell has charge, we set out for the mountains. We stopped at the Oregon Hotel In Greenwood a short time and again continued our Journey. Reaching Tryon about dusk we drove up a winding road to the old colonial hotel, Oak Hall, where we were cordially received. On spacious verandahs and in Its large, airy rooms (each with private bath.) We refreshed ourselves then descended to enjoy a good dinner. Early the next morning we were Invited by Mr. Tolsen to take a ride ud Clarke Mountain where we had a wonderful view of the mountain and lakes and also drove through the Pacolet gorge with the Pacolet river running through it. / On our return, after an excellent breakfast, we found our bus at the door ready to carry us to Lake Lanier, a mile away, to view the wonderful new development. On reaching the office we were conducted by a number of genial gentlemen over the lovely hard surface roads wind'ng around the lake with the majestic three lakes or basins below. It was a wonder to us that so much oould be accomplished in one short year. After returning to an artistic tea. room where we ate lunch we were ready for our return trip. Those who had invested In lots were pleased with their purchases and we voted the promoters among the most couijteous gentlemen wo had ever met. untiring in their patience to explain and show us everything. Tryon has long been a winter reBort for northern people?a town of nearly 5000 Inhabitants with an elegant school building, good churches and hotels and many lovely homes. Now It Is also a summer resort because of its wonderful climate. We returned believing In its wonderful possibilities?to see it to believe. MRS. R. H. HATCHER.

Sportsmen whose particular pleas| ure it is to lure the wiley bass from its natural element will be elated to : know that .25,000 game fish of that j species have found a home in the i waters or Lake Lanier. The fish, both fingerlings and fry came from the government hatcheries at Erwln, Tennessee, and were liberated from their traveling tanks with much ceremony by J. A. Beswarlck, Superintendent of the property, -and a group of interested persons who had gathered at the mouth of one of the many mountain streams that feed the lake. "Here's where you bhgln[ your sporting life, young fellpws," announced Mr. Beswarlck as he tilted one of the big containers and slowly ] poured several thousand young bass ! into the clear waters of the lake. Angling experts of local fame de- j clare that the deep channels connect. : ing the three basins that form Lake i Lanier are just what this ktnK of ! fresh water game fish likes for a | home and that the shadows and j gravelly shores at many pqlnts about j the lake are ideal snawnin* erniinda. I Vaughan's Creek which runs its ! twelve.mile course from its source j between Hcg Back and Rocky Spur | mountains and is the main source of [ supply for the chain of lakes, has al- ready furnished its quota of piscator- 1 ial life. Many rainbow trout and horny heads have been taken from the first basin within the last few j weeks by local fishermen. LAKE LANIER SOCIALS x Mi-, and Mrs. Clarence Peters have | been hosts at several recent radio i parties given at their villa on the j second basin. Mr. Peters, who Is a radio expert, says that the Lake Lanier section is far superior to either Hendersonville or Asheville j in the matter of radio reception. Mrs. C. J. Rolle and son, of Cincincinnati, O. are spending several weeks at the lake as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C.. W. Bauer. They are delighted with the mountainous surroundings of this section and are especially pleased with Lake Lanier, j Mrs. Bertha R. Miller, wife of | John H. Miller, assistant director of sales, has returned from a three months' visit to relatives In the north. Old Dan Delver, the steam shovel, promises to give an Interview some 1 day when he feels rested, on "Dirt That I have Dug." Dan ia thirteen i years old and has been around a bit in his time.

Afford Fine Views Road building throughout the Lake Lanier property has been active during the last three months and several sections of the development which have been difficult to reach are, now easily accessible by automobile. This will enab'e those interested in home-site or investment property to reach many of the most desirable lets, notably those on the high ground overlooking the third basin, with its boat club house and bathing beach, and the entire range of mountain peaks, from massive Hog uacK 10 ruggea wnue <_>aa, iniriy miles away. Material for hard surfacing the sixteen miles of road already completed Is being brought In daily and several miles of streets have been treated to the first two courses of crushed, water-bound rock. A great road roller, weighing several tons, makes dally trips over the road-bed that has been so treated, with tne result that it is now a luxury to drive smoothly over the broad avenues on the; west side of the lake. It is of interest to every lot owner or prospective purchaser to know that these roads will run in ffont of every lot on the property and in man;- localities lots will have roads both front and back. In building these broad highways the engineers have many problems to solve in their efforts to reach every portion of the development and at the same time not depart from the g:-acpful curves and gentle grades which form one of the most attractive features of the property. That they have succeeded in carrying out their plans Derfectly cannot be doubted. BIG WHITE HERONS MAKEJfOME HERE Sociable Birds Amuse Visitors at Lake by Their Antics I In Quest of Food i / I . Visitors to Lak? Lanier during the ! past week have been much interest-! ed in a family of seven white herons | that recently made their home on ] the west bank of the channel con-1 necting the first and second basins. Five of these beautiful birds may be seen every day ranged along the shore, standing on one leg at the waiter's edge and waiting patiently for the innocent frog or the adventurous minnow to come within striking dis- | tance. I The great, white birds stand mo-1 tlonless until their quarry comes | within three feet of them. Then there is a flash of a long, white neck ' and with unerring aim a sharp, six-1 inch bill impales the victim.
