There is a fine prospect for good school he iv, and tlie promoters, headed by Mrs. Wade Wagner, have the good wishes of the com munity. St. John's church is soon to lie painted, a fund for that purpose being raised, the total cost of the work between $40.00 to $50.00, contributions solicited from any one interested m the welfare of the old church.

Iem.i hat: i Tin- annual meeting of thel Tlw information that Key. I-M-It is not at all strange that those North Carolina Banker's AssiH-ia ! gar Tufts lias ivjranicd his health who live at a distance finui tin , t i n will Is. hdd in Kalfigh this 'and i-xiiet ts to resume his irctivi- iniiiintamsof Western Nin th Car- olina have been led to believe that the dwellers of the hills are v,,'y ignorate, when we find that once in a whjle someone win i considers himself very smart, after accept ing the hospitality of these good lH',.,Il,.S will grossly misrepresent the facts as to existing condi tions among us, and such-unjust attacks should be resenteil. During the past fall one Mr. Vass,'w"ho had sjieht n numberot years as a missionary among the' heathen and cannibals in thejun- gles of Africa, delivered a lecture to the school at Banner's Elk He gave an account of hisadven- tures and experiences on the Hark Continent; the ignorance anddeg redation of the natives: he told ol their eating wild locusts and ma king soups from various kinds of insects, and occasionally they would kill and eat a man, and one of their chief diets is the mon key; and if half of what he said it true, those people are of the low est of any creatures which might be .said to belong to the human race1, and very little ahead of . the common monkey. After Mr. Vass returned to hii liome he wrote an a rt icle in rega rd to the Lees-Mellae Institute; the work of Mr. Tufts in connection with this school; the work that is being done at the hospital at Banner's Elk, the electric light plant and etc. But at the close of his short article be displayed very bad taste in making the fol lowing comment: - "We have- spent nearly eleven years on the foreign field, and would like to say to those who are so anxious to Know now a day is spent at the mission-sta tion. and what the missionaries do, and how thingsnre managed, just go to Banner Elk and there is-a foreign mission station nl home and in active operation. Go and see for yourself." Now, If Mr. Vass has made a fair comparison and what lie says is true, then gross misrepresenta tions have been made in regard to the great needs in the foreign fields, and we should confine our efforts and devote more money to the upbuilding of our own country and-the better edu cation of our girls and boys. We all know that the school at Ban ner's Elk is run on the same prin cipal that other schools of the same class are run all over the country; that the home people are charged and expected to pay for all the advantages they get, and while it is perhaps true that there is some .charitable work done at this school the greatest nuinb.tr p a v their way. And while the hospital is often quite a convenience the patient who are treated are required to pay for operations and treatment, and if they. are unable to pay the same rule would prevail as in ca ses of the every day experience of the ordinary country physician; are apt to have to do more or ess charitable practice m cases of necessity, and charge some of these losses to the accounts of those who are more able to pay. If Mr. Vass cannot distinguish the difference between a congre gation composed of the bright girls and boys of the pure Anglo- Saxon blood, who reside in tins mountain section, and the canni bals in the jungles of Africa, then his influence might be exerted to a greater advantage among that low type of humanity which roam over the deserts and through the :n.viia r.f tlio nnrk Continent,. . 1.

The news is conveyel by Mr. Tufts himself, in a letter to the Watauga Ieiiioerat. He had lieen !'xilei for thre; months. It is characteristic of Mr. Tufts' en leavors that the first work he takes up tin his return will be the Orphan's Home which he is to found at Banner Elk for the care if mountain children. Theoppor tunitv for that wink of benevo lence is large, as in proportion to itopulution there arc more orph ins iu the mountains than any )ther section of the State. Foi fhe purpose of the home Mr Tufts has secured the Lvbrook arm and the dwelling on it is be ing remodeled and enlarged so it will have a capacity of 15 rooms. It is proposed to christen the new institution the Grandfather Or phan Home, "in honor of the r e a t Grandfather Mountain vhose rugged upturned face .vould suggest the plenkings of a ather's blessings upon the or phan children being cared for in he valley below."
