(Valu* Ciucis special of the I8tl. to the Greensboro Daily News.) J Thi rorr.C!stone ofa church was laid here within the week, a church) with a name whose origin runs far! back into the past century and with! a history filled with ecclesiastical j and missionary achievement- It was! Bishop Stillman Ives in 1842 whoi u - '* fiuiuvu u v- iiui vii iu trie nui\ L russ at the same time that he gave the name of Va)!e Crucis to the beautiful and fertile valley that it dominated. Over the years the good *S? >r^s 'Ls missionaries have gain*?d for it the spiritual domination ? the valley and the name \ alle Crucis?Valley of the Cross?taken from the configuration of the landscape has from the lives of its people come to be a living reality. Among the hemlocks and oaks vvhi ie the first church was built the new edifice? is mounting. It is to be a beautiful little structure, of gray stone taken from the mountain side within half m:U of its site. Gothic in its lines, planned by cultivated minds and built by skilled workmen. It will face south, "looking out over the valley, with its windows opening east and west upon the highway to Banner Elk. At its left are the building of the school. Completed, il wilt stand in impressive contrast to that first primitive adobe house and graphically represent the progress of the Episcopal church in this field. Prior to the lay in. of the corner stone, merning prayer was held on the veranda of Auchmuty Hal). At its conclusion the congregation marched in procession to the site of tho mounting church led by finRight Reverend Junius Moore Horner bi.-t np of the Diocese of Western North Carolina, in whose diocese the chi;:rh is located, the Right Reverend | Jo?enh Blount Cheshire. Bishop of North Carolina, and the Right Rev-: erend Kirkman G. Findlay, Bishop of upper South Carolina. The cor m-i-uuif >t?rvice was rcau *?v i>i<nop Hoi iU'i-. the visiting bishops assist-i ing. An unusually impressive feature of the service was the participation ci j four generations of the Townscnd' family, all communicants of thej Church. Timothy Towr.seod, arch of the family, placed the Newi ^ Testament in the cornerstone box; I Is is daughter Mrs. Roah Mitchell, deposited the Hook of Common Prayer; his randdaughter. Miss Effie Townsend the Hymnal; his great grandson Robert Edney, the list of communicant of the church. In presenting Bishop Horner, the Rev. James Preston Burke, rector htc church, recounted hte lives that hav had a share in the development of the church and of the school, enumerating them by name. "The emphasis in a church school in my op; :ion should be upon God and the Church," observed Mr. Burke 4*and it has beer, my hope since coming here to see a church erected on the site of the original building, of dignified cons'ruction ana ox equipment simn* bie io our needs. Move than half the necessary funds has been subscribed and it is my earnest prayer this morning that God will put it in the hearts of others to help in raising the remander." "When I think of Vaile Crucis.'" begin Bishop Horner, "two passages ! always come to my mind. One is from the writings of an older prophet and from that passage the motto: of this diocese has been taken; 'The | House of the Lord upon the top of i the mountains.' The ~?t.h< r is 'And J a little child shall lead them.' for when 1 tlvnk of this school, and our! other school' in western North Caro-J lina, I am thinking of the little ehil-j dreo whose lives they are blessingi 2.1.(1 are dotermneu to bless. The j * ire* t rent inuoivnce of their childish j 5v.? es liftt 1 m prayer has ofunj times given me the inspiration 1 have) " not found in the greatest cathedrals* of i>ur country. And from my know-' ledge of them, I believe there are many children in these mountains, who, like those of the Hoiy Land, are ready and willing to give their lives to the sendees of the Lord and to] follow Christ." ' i - ,.i?... _ * me more oeep?y a ijumjcs iia roots into the couth, iht higher its branches mount toward the heavens; the greater the struggle and trial, the greater the joy in the day of" triumph. This is a day of triumph here at Vnlle Crueis and the greatest measure of joy belongs to the bishop of the diocese. Bishop Horner. I think ! may humble claim for myself second place in the poy of the day, for 1 have actually labored less than brother Burke, i have prayer! and hoped longer," Bishop Chesire said. "Bishop Horner, I should say rcoresents the present; Mr. Burke the future, and t the past. All I may do is to train the microscope of the past upon our small beginnings and reveal the great strides we have made here. "The first thought that must come to anyone in contemplating the accomplishments here is of the grandest of Bishop Ives' conception. The fact that he was able to establish bete at a time that Morgantcm was the nearest rail head, a school that drew boys from as far east as Tarboro, is one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of education in North Carolina. "The three names I would have ' ever present in your memories v.hen you think of Valle Crucis," continued I a.50 Per Ye?r 300NE. ONE OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S BEST FRIENDS (Asheville Citizen.) In another column on this pace the Citizen reprints an admirable editorial tribute to Asheville By Col. Wade II. Harris. Editor of the Charlotte Observer. The immediate occasion for saying well some mighty pleasant thine- about us, Colonel Harris found in the meetings here this week of the Southern Publishers and the North Carolina Press Association. Colonel Harris begins by congratulating the publishers and ed itors upon the opportunity of spending a vacation in this city, a few of them for the first time perhaps, most of them being familiar figures in Asheville s summer throng of visitors.] I hen the Observer Editor describes the evidences hert? of advancement in many directions and makes some interesting comparisons with traffic,, business buildings, homes and suburbs in the Asheville of a quarter century and more ago. No Asheville newspaper man could take more pride in what Asheville ha< become than Colonel Harris. He knew this tywn in the days before motor-vehicle revolution brought good roads. Quicker transportation and increasing numbers of tourists aral residents to Asheville and the territory around us. He has seen hills leveled, streets widened, new tourist and commercial hotels and sk* scrapers built; he has watched Asheville's population overflow into spacious and attractive residence parks. And all these signs of progress in Asheville, and similar growth in the other communities of this region, he has observed and commented upon, not as part of the day's work, but as the work of a man who loves western North Carolina and finds ahidivig satisfaction in the spirit of the people this - ide the Blue Ridge and the fruits of their labors, material, social and spiritual. Most editors on their vacation leave work behind them, and so does Colonel Harris. But hris ideal vacation is to tour one, two or a half dozen counties in western North Carolina. meeting the neonle in all walk^ of life, discussing with" them the things they tire in? erected in, taking mental note> of the advancement of the several communities have made in a decade and later writing in delightful style his impressions and observations as a sojourner in the urban and rural districts. Other newspaper men might find this too much Kite the days ir. the office; to Colonel. Harris it is relaxation and recreation.' When western North Carolina takes stock of those agencies that have ma tonally aided it in coming into a realization of its own resources and possibilities, and in telling the rest of the world what is going on ir. these mountains. Colonel Wade Harris is tioo forgotten. For many years he has been one of our foremost boos-, ters. He still is. V. C. RELIGIOUS SUMMER SCHOOL VERY EFFECTIVE V'aile Cruris, N\ C. .July 21.?The Valle Cruris Summer School for Religious Education in session here is the most effective school of its kind ever conducted by the Episcopal Church in this diocese. The School is being held under the auspices of the dioceses of Western North Car :>uiui ?roun?i, unu upper o. Carolina and is under the immediate direction of the Rev. J. W. C. Johnson of Gastonia. The enrollment of the school has doubled since last year Perhaps the most popular courses being offered are "The Life of Christ." by Bishop Kirk man G. Finley "f upper South Carolina and " Social Service" by the Rev. George Floyd Rogers, Hector ot St. Peter's Church, Charlotte. Most helpful courses in the "Devotional Life" "Church School Ideals," and the "Prayer Book are being giver, by the Rev. Homer W. Starr, Ph. D., of Charleston. S. C. Others an the faculty arc* Mrs. R. M. Griffith, Miss Annie Morton Stout, Mrs. Frank N. Ohallen, and Mrs M. B. Hutchinson. The members of the school are o<hghtod with Valie Crucis ami this section of our mountains and have decided to hold the school here again next year when an enrollment of two hundred is expected. The opening day will be July 5th. IMPORTANT MEETING OF CITIZENS River view school house, Monday night July 27th.

J l- < > ' lively guuti citizen snouia De present. the bishop, "are those of Ives, William West Skiles, and Milnor Jones? t Ives for the initial conception, Skiles j and Jones for their unceasing, inde' fatigable, and Godly labors in the early years of the mission." Bishop Cheshire gave a graphic picture of an incident in the life oi the school under the administrator of Bishop Ives that for picturesqueness alone is doubtless without parallel in church history' ;n this country, the march of the school persone to Wilkesboro for the consecratioT of a church there, about the year 1845. The bishop, the clergy, aiK the students, wearing their blacl ! cassocks, their baggage borne by ? ! donkey, made their way afoot, staf . in hand, over the Blue Ridge f* ' Wilkesboro. Bishop recounted 11 1* some detail the incident? of his firs visitation to the mission, which madi a highly interesting narrative WATAUGA COUNTY. N h .i CA BOONE ONE OF STATE'S MOST THRIVING TOWNS j (C. B. Hoack. in Greensboro News) T'x r,e.?Boone is one of the most i progressing little towns in the whole! j stat-. -?f North "Carolina Situated I as i; i in the western part of the tat-. among some of the most mag-' jnificent mountain scenery in the1 ! wo'l i at an altitude of 3333 feet 1 above the sea, with sand clay roads CO!;, ng in from four different directions. and with one of the best edui eat;..rial institutions of th" stale in f it doors, there is no wonder that t hi - town is progressive. Still, such P" -essions alone will not necessarily j mat' a community progressive. There [are many towns in North Carolina ' that are far better situated for prog- 1 ress. geographically speaking, than Boone is, still many of them are far behind Boone in progress. The thing which makes a place progressive is not its geographical _ .-it Ucftmn, its good roads, or even its Msducaiinual institutions: however jthvx' are fine attributes and indisj pensihle to the highest progress of [ any o mmunity. Money i> necessary, but money alone is not all that is needed. The thing which makes a community progress^.* is its people., Kvi;r> thing depends upon the* people I of a community?theii energy, vis^I ion, pride, and their willingness to j cooperate .for the best interest of the community as a whole. Or briefly. we would say that everything depends on the kind of spirit which a community has. Boone seems to have the right kind | of spirit. It looks as if the people! here are working together for a com-j mon purpose, namely to make a bigger. a better and more progressive town. The people of Boone take a gr eat deal of interest in telling other j people about what a great place! Boone is- It must hi Boone*.- moral j code that no stranger be allowed to : pass through the town until he first | agrees to visit the various places of interest in the community; and then, I \\ hen he sees these places, that he promise to say something complimentary about them after he leaves, j Of course, the people here do r.ot i resort to force in order to get. a person to stop over in Boone for a while If it were done in this manner, it would nut prove so effective perhaps, But the method used, which accomplishes greater results than any other, is that of kindness and eour! tesy. This is the method these peoi pie use. Even business men make it j a point to lay aside their work for | awhile in order to tell :t stranger about the great advantages which I their town and community offer. Not i only do they tell him about the town ?they do not stop at that if the 1 stranger is of any note*?but they also see that he is carried about the town : and community and shown the very highest courtesy Such is Boonfe's ; method of advertising, and it works, if you think it does not. come to Boone and see for yourself. A visitor in Boone the other day made the following comment: "The climatic conditions here are so pleasant that one can nearly always feel comfortable. The mountain breezes are so unusual to we low larders that we cannot realize that June is rapid; ly passing. And besides the healthful climate, one can enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery, which cannot be surpassed anywhere in the state; and too, these people make one I feel at home with them. From their | example, one gets an inspiration to do greater and nobier things in the , world. The spiiit alone of these people is enough to make one want to come to Boone." The Daniel Boone Hotel, just finished recently, ranks along with the O He~ry, the Robert E. Lee and the other best hotels of the state. Anyone wishing to get away from th sweltering heat for a while could not find a more ideal piece than this. So tnose who are a-weary ana want rest ; would be well paid to spend a few days in this part of the land of the sky.

' If you want to make a putchase of merchandise at home you go to your a merchant and see and examine the ^ article to know if you really want y and need it. In case said merchant has the poods you need and iike, you buy them, and in case you have not the cash to pay for said poods, and ' you are a responsible party, bavins? ^ the reputation of paying your hills promptly you can so state the facts v to your merchant and buy the poods on 30 to 00 days time, in the mean N time using the wares while you are i.ntr > i?> -iKiiJi' - You have helped your merchant by! 1 giving him his small profit on the t purchase?; and helped yourst! f by got ling (lie goods when needed. But you say we could save money by buy- 1 ing from a mail order house. I take J the position that you cannot, quality : considered. Mai! order houses don ot i bar-die standard brand articles in any j ~ class of merchandise, for instance j shoes. You cannot buy shoes of any standard brand. Therefore you are . failing to buy standard goods at all times. And again if you would give 'j your local merch:.! ihe business it would giv. him a chance to buy in| greater qua: titie. . ...u buy cheaper! 1 specially if you pay him cash for ^ all purchase? as you are doing the 1 mail order houses. With a mail order house you look I at a picture and read a flatt? ring de-j I scription. make out an order sheet.* go to the office, buy a stamp, mail your order and wait two weeks to thirty days for the article to arrive. " Should it be a freight charge, go to the R. R. station, pay the freight, ' j take your goods home and then cx| amine and see if they are. what you ? | thought you were buying. You at ' 1 least had to send the cash in some 1 ! form with your order and if the pur- I I chase is not what you want, then the 1 J goods must be returned and in the v ! course of time, say thirty days or ? I more, you may receive your money, v I refunding your purchase price. Now ' I if you had bought the same goods' at | home you could have used them for ii ai least tnsrty gays wnile you w ere 1 j waiting for the goods. ii The mail order house has no per- i I sonal interest in you or your com- c munity whatever. They pay no taxes t< to help you defray the expenses of c i your state and county government. They take no interest whatever in n 1 your health or that of your neighbor. They do not care if you ail die. b They have no part in your funeral or burial ceremony. In fact all they care for is getting the cash out of c you and try to make you believe you are buying something at a bargain price You might have all grades of country produce, chickens, eggs, potatoes, apples, butter, milk, and oth- ii er items for sale that you really do e not need for your home use, hut they care nothing for how muc hyou have s to waste, just so you continue to dig h up your cash and buy from them.
