OLD FORT NEWS MISS GERTRUDE DULA, Editor and Manager VOLUME IV OLD FORT, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1931 NUMBER 33 APPLE BLOSSOMS 0 lovely sight—the pink and white of apple-boughs in May! A miracle of loveliness is wrought on every spray, The dewy petals, sweetly coy, their hidden charms disclose, The white like snow-wreaths flushed with pink, and pink with softest rose. The dainty blooms like fairy plumes waft fragrance on the air— The wanton breeze with balmy breath woos bud and blossom fair; And bees enamored of their sweets in palpitating poise, Hang o'er the lovely lips of bloom and taste their honeyed joys. The birds, in quest of downy nest, flit in and out the flowers Or brood above the speckled eggs through all the rosy hours; And showering petals fill the air as throbbing breezes blow, Like creamy wings of gossamer or drifts of mimic snow. Ripple and wave of perfume lave the meadow, hill and dale; Billows of blossom ebb and flow and glorify the vale, I They shade the lane where lovers, stroll, they droop o'er cottage walls— They multiply their sylvan charms in wayside waterfalls. Sweet May of Youth—sweet May of love, with fruit to follow flower! When song-birds trill in every heart and hope speeds every hour. This life is but a dream of bliss in a world of blossoms gay, When the Sun gives earth his bridal kiss in the flowery month of May. —Fannie Porter Mullin.

PROMPT DELIVERY j Allison & Melton's MARKET OLD FORT, N. C. \NDREWS GEYSER BUILT IN 1910 BY GEORGE F. BAKER AFTER VISIT TO ASHEVILLE The death of George F. Baker, loted banker and third richest man n the United States, in New York ast week, brought forth recollec-' ions here that it was through his generosity that Andrews Geyser, at iound Knob, was rebuilt in 1910. The geyser, dedicated to Col. A.B. Andrews, of Raleigh, for his work in Constructing the old Western North Carolina railroad, is a familiar sight ;o persons traveline over the South-; ;rn Railway tracks between Ashe-: rille and Salisbury. It is situated at ;he foot of the mountain between ^sheville and Old Fort. In 1910, it was recalled, Mr. Bak-j jr, of the First National Bank, of Slew York, was making his first trip ;o Asheville. Seeing the site of the )riginal geyser, he asked the South-: 5rn Railway for permission to re-! store it. Work was begun in 1910 i ind was completed in 1911. At the same time Mr. Baker pui4 ;hased a handsome bronze tablet ind had it erected at thte geyser in Colonel Andrews' memory. The original geyser was built by ;he old Western North Carolina rail road and a handsome hotel was erec ;edted at thte same point. Several ^ears later the hotel burned and the operation of the geyser was discon tinued. Since the work was done by Mr. Baker, the geyser has been in con stant operation under the supervis ion of the Southern Railway.—The A.sheville Citizen.
