an injured hip and Lee Case is suf

juries seemed to be with one of his
hips while the exact nature of Mr.

MEET FRIDAY TO
PUSH TREE PLAT
Chamber of Commerce officers and
directors are to meet again this com
ing Friday evening at the Hodgevrell
hotel. "We are going to work and
work," said President Wetmur, .''until
something is definitely put over."
At the meeting last Friday even
ing, the officers and directors heartily
endorsed President Wetmur's plan of
encouraging the planting of at least
1,000 acres of apple trees ecah year
in Henderson county.
The problem of marketing the ap
ples already grown, and of spraying
the trees now old enough to bear yet
remains to be solved.
Directors C. F. Bland, Chas. ROz
zelle and W. A. Keith were named a
committee to inquire into the matter
of appointing a permanent secretary.
A. M. McWhirter is now acting in
that capacity.

campaign is being put on m all the nounced hepe toda Mr is
Lake- Osceola is to be restored an
developed into a residential and rec
reation' park far beyond that antici
pated when the first development was
undertaken 12 years ago.
M.. Fred' Toms of Asheville, son of
Charles French Toms, is coming back
to his native soil to invest heavily
and make probably the biggest de
velopment of his career.
Mr. Toms, acting through the realty
firms of Smith, Jackson, Morris Com
pany and the Staton Realty Company,
has secured options on the Osceola
Lake Company stock - and purchased
adjoining- property at a value of about
$30,000.
It is the purpose of Mr. Toms to '
begin developments immediately so
as to have a popular recreational
ground1 next summer.
Plans call for a concrete dam about
25 feet high to take the place of the
former dam that had a concrete core,
which went out during the 1916 flood. .
The Osceola company was organ- A
ized about 12 years ago. The ground
was plotted, laid off in lots, and al
road' bufft around" the lake, which had
a shore line of about two miles, but
all the dreams of the stockholders
went down stream with the lake dur
ng the flood ami no- definite effort at ,
restoration has been made until this
time.
Mr; Toms plans to take the abun-
dant sand supply at the head of the .
lake amT haul ft to- the lower part of
the lake near tbat. dam and .fronting: -the
Lake Osceola hotel and make si .
bathing-beach wfth a 400 foot front-
age., . . . v- r-,yi
Mr. Toms'' object in buying heavily '
of the adjoining- property is to gala
possession of tends adjacent to ' thfr
lake' and suitable for development -as--:
a popular residential park. Bath,
houses- will be erected during the whi
ter amT spring r gasoline boats will
be provided antl other provisions
made for making Osceola Lake one off
the real; attraectfve spots of this im
mediate section for the 1923 tourists.
Promoters of the original company -were
handicapped in the development
for- lack of transportation facilities.
The enterprise was launched before-tha-
popular advent of the automobib
and' transportation was not simplified."
'Efforts- were made to have a street
car line- to- the park and such efforts
met. witfis success only to the extent
of having cross ties laid nearly to
the property.
The lake is about one and one-half -miles
from the court house and the
transportation problem has ben re
moved through the general e or
automobiles and bus lines.
Lack of personal attention on the
part of any one who would have been
warranted in giving undivided" time to
the. lake development is attributed as
another reason for failure to realize-
Ethe dreams of the promoters, but this .
handicap will be overcome in the
presence and determination of Mr.
Toms to make the most of Irh? heavy
investments in the .community where.,
he was born and reared' and in which
he chooses to devote the most of his
means and best of lafe- energies.
