When your Joriner correspon
dent arrived on tho summit of
the Blue Ridge, alter an absence
of eleven weeks, he found this fa
mous resort deserted, the trees
last shedding their leaves, the
signs ct autumn at band, the
uminer visitors no longer in ey
idence, even the cottage-folk cou
spicuous for their absence, a few
being loth to leave until the
biilliunt autumn foliage has lost
its coloring and the last chest
nut burr has burst and .emp
tied itsell for the childreus' bene
fit, and the katydids have ceased
their noisy wrangling over the
unimportant question as to whe
ther Katy did or Kity didn't
say that it was "nine weeks be
fore frodt."
Many changes have taken place
in this community, much id e
property having chauged hands
and soon to he built upon, Mr.

into lots und sold, not wholly to
strangers, but in part to some ol
Watauga's substantial citizens
who will build cottages either to
rent or lor their own occupancy
during the cold months of the
oug, dreary winter.
A uuuiber of lots, bought by
strangers are to be built upon
shortly, many handsome bunga-
ows to be erected upon the var
