" The first, dinner Wis served inv the T)ig rustic dining rom of the New Es meralda Inn Sunday toa number of invited guests. " The new Esmeralda Is built along the same general plan as the old inn, which had become so fam ous all over the country, excepting that it is very much larger and more com modious, says the Asheville Times. The new inn is three stories high the first floor being given over entire ly to the big room, rest rooms for ladies and gentlemen and the dining room. The main columns are great tree trunks, with the limbs cut off for three to four feet, making a striking appearance. Three stairways from the big room lead up to the second and third floors, with mezzanine floors around the four sides of the room. In the center of the dining Toom is a largp, pool and fountain, built of mountain, stone, in which play a number of mountain trout ahdgold fish. 'Following an elabotate dinner a number of talksf were made by those, present, introduced by Jerome B. Free man toastmaster of the occasion, who, paid a glowing tribute to Col. Thos. Turner's father, who was induced to come to Chimney Rock by Mr. Freeman,-and who was largely instrument-, al in bringing to the attention of the outside world, the rugged grandeur of the Chimney Rock territory. Captain John T. Patrick, former im migration agent of the Seaboard Air Line, and who built Southern Pines wholly on printer's ink. stated that there was every- reason in the world why the Chimney Rock section should become popular with, people all over the country, and the only thing needed to make it so was advertising. He paid a tribute to the work that had been done for western North Carolina by the Asheville board of trade, an' urged the co-operation of the Chimnev Rock people with that, organization, which was doing so raushfor western North Carolina. ' 1 N. Buckner of Asheville stated that the Chimney Rock section was a dis tinct asset to Asheville, western North Carolina and the entire state; that the section of country within a radius of , ion miles of Asheville.
