Entertained in the Pretty Town of Brevard A Glimpse at Western N. C THE FIRST REBEL YELL Mr. A. C Greene of Wake County First to Ghre the Famous Yell. It was the pleasure of the write r to attend the annual con vention of the Episcopal Church, in the District of Asheviile, held at Brevard last week. The dis trict embraces twenty counties in the western part of the -state and is under the direction of Bishop Horner of Asheviile. The attendance upon the con vention was large, including about 50 or 60 clerical and lay delegates and as many women, composing the Woman's Auxil iary. The business of the con vention, consisting mainly of routine work and the reports of committees and officials, was dis patched rapidly and harmoni ously. The reports indicate a healthy growth, in the district along nearly all lines though many parte of the country are necessarily no coming along and developing as they should ibr lack of men and means. Those laboring in the Held seem to be doing good and making an impression upjn the communi ties in which they are stationed. Brevard is a pretty little town ox about 1200 people and has a number of nice churobfes, good schools, several fine hotels and numerous nice residences, many of which are opened to the entertainment of summer visitors during the hot weather. Some little manufacturing is done there and there are a num ber of creditable mercantile es tablisbments. The , French Broad valley from Hendersbn- ville to near Lake Toxaway, is one of the prettiest and most fertile to be found in North Car olina and the many tine farms and good dwellings to be seen indicate it to be peopled by an enterprising well to-do people Lake Toxaway, is a place o: unusual attractiveness and beau ty, the line hotel, which will ae commodate several hundred guests, being one of the best equipped and most luxurious to be found in the couutry. The beautiful lake affords splendid boating and fishing and the grand scenery and bracing mountain air make it an ideal Dlace to summer, if one has the price. On our return we stop led by the great J unaluska As semblv Grounds of the Metho dist church near Waynesville Here we found several thousand people gathered to hear the notable speakers who addressed the throngs on Missionary work in various parts of the world. The place is yet in a state of crudeness and the accommoda tions for such gatherings are not what one would desire in every respect, yet the great au ditorium is nearly completed and is being used with comfort. A number of handsome cottages are being built around the mar- irin of the lake and a splendid drive way has been completed Knouch has been done to enable one to grasp the magnitude'of the enterprise and the splendid setting and plana indioate that it will some day be a dream of beauty. The V big Conference that closed last Sunday has hflfin a pronounced success and will of course tend to hasten the completion of the big Under taking.

The thoughts of the whole country are today centered on the historic field of Gettysburg where fifty years, ago two mighty armies were engaged in a death struggle for the supremacy. Now "grim visaged war has smoothed hts 'wrinkled front," and these same men meet to gether not for the purpose of shedding each other's blood, but for an amicable exchange of riendly greeting, and to talk over the mighty deeds of the past Today Gettysburg is but memory, but what a sad as well as glorious one.
