THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN
IN "THE LAND OF THE SKY."
Largest Apple Orchard in North
Carolina Robeonians Home
ward Bound.
Conesoondence of The Robeson lan.
Waynesville. Aug. 28 -The
beautiful land of the sky looks
more beautiful than usual this
morning, and as it is our last day
here I am taking my fill of look
ing at Junaluska. Eagles Nest
hotel looks white in the sunlight.
Some of our boarders are gone
up this morning. Hal, Carl, and
Miss Hattie and Hector McPhaul
went up yesterday and were de
lighted with the view but were
tired enough to take nour naps
when they returned.
We went out over Pigeon Gap
last Saturday and saw the larg
est apple orchard in North Caro
lina, something like two hun
dred acres of trees, and each one
laden almost to breaking with
apples. Between the rows of
large trees are small ones to
take the place later on of the
old ones. Beyond there in a
lovely green valley. We rested
and took pictures and drank
more of the delightful horse ap
ple cider. The doctor has de
cided that I am a "toper", but
cider one day old doesn't seem
to effect the head.
Another lovely drive is out
west Waynesville to Mr. Gilmer's
farm, where there is a pictur
esque log cabin and a spring, the
water "whereof maketh the
heart glad", but makes the
teeth ache with coldnessr Mr;
Gilmer expects in the near fu
ture to have a handsome hotel
with pleasure grounds and a lake
second to none. The lot the
doctor owns is near this and I
scrambled and puffed up the hills
to the site and built my bunga
low (in my mind) at once.
When up there we overlook
the town of Waynesville and I
am hoping to build that bunga
low in reality and enjoy the
view and the breeze.
There are still large crowds
here but more are leaving than
are coming in now and these,
with myself, will miss the loveli
est time in the mountains, brac
ing and bright September days.
The doctor has met lots of old
friends and has been here so
often be knows most of Waynes
ville, but duty calls us home and
we leave in the morning for
Asheville and from there will go
straight home, I expect.
Our trip has been about half
long enough. Next time we
will start sooner.

All known marriage records so
far as the age of the contracting
parties is concerned were broken
here today when Timothy Griffin,
108 years old, and Lucy Woody,
73, were wedded by a minister.
Griffin and his bride nominally
have been married for more than
50 years, having been slaves on
the same plantitation in North
Carolina before the war, and ac
cording to the negro man's story,
having entered into the connubi
al state by the old slave custom
of jumping over a broomstick.
Recently they decided upon a re
ligious communion, however be--lated.
