The west half of the pavilion will be used for dancing,: and the other f part will be used for serving guests with lunches, soft drinks, and meals, that is dinner and supper, where su6h meals are ordered the day before. -r .Ice cream, lunches, and refreshing soft drinks are being . served from early in the morning until 11 o'clock at night of each day, and the number of people who visit the place each day is increasing rapidly. - The top of Stony mountain . is reached by a drive of three miles out the main highway toward Asheville, thence by a stretch of about three and a half miles of magnificent scenic road up the mountain. " After leaving the main Henderson-ville-Asheville highway the scenic road up the mountain represents, it is said, one of the finest pieces of engineering in all. Eastern America, and the road was built by the owner of Stony mountain, at a cost of more than $20,000. . The road winds back and forth across the side of the mountain, and makes a number of harpin curves be fore) the top of the mountain ' is reached. . At different points along the road magnificent views of the mountains in thetdistajice and 'the surrounding bfce'e while to make the trip to see the road and tne mountain all around and the valleys below. The pavilion on top of the moun tain ifetiuiter a large one, and is built and furnished in rustic style. Every- J.!.,-!!' Vl,v'li' if' .1 .1. . .ning is rustic, tne tables, cnairs, seats and other pieces of furniture. ' The kitchen near the pavilion, where the eats are preparedvis also ef rtrsfic build,- but presents' a' clean and neat appearance, and the whole place is lighted by a private electric lighting system at night. Water is obtained from a cold spring down on the side of the moun tain by means of the use of hydraulic ram. And the water is fine. . From the top of the mountain Pisgah and the Rat can be plainly seen on a fair day, as can Tryon peak, the Hog Back mountains, Black mountains, and others of the Blue Ridge and Smokey mountain ranges. The trip is well worth making, and many of our tourists are going up to the mountain's top daily in their machines, and the number is increas ing as the people learn of the splen did piece of road that leads up there, and the grand views that can be had of the surrounding mountains and the valleys below, from points along the road, and from the top of the mountain and the tower which has been erected thereon. Those of our home people who nave net been up on Stony since developments have been made should avail themselves of the first opportun ity to take a trip up. They will be well repaid for the time it will re quire to take the trip. The management is expecting the largest number of people to make the trip to the top of the mountain next Sunday that have gone up in a single day before, that is if the weather is good.

LENOX PARK SPRING Hundreds of people have visited - and drank water from Lenox Park spring during the past sixty days. Late in the afternoon of each day people can be seen making their way to the spring from all directions, each person carrying some sort of ves sel to carry some water back home in. As a general thing several automo biles are driven up to the spring each day, and the occupants get out and drink of the waters of this fine spring. Lenox Park spring has been im proved by the removal of all loose earth from where the water comes up out of the crevices of the rocks, and crushed stone- filled in, so that when the water comes gushing through the crevices in the huge rocks it strokes the crushed stone and rises through same into the basin which holds the ster untif it rises above the outlet which is through , a channel cut in stone..- " A wall has been built of concrete and stone around the spring in such a way as o provide a seat on which people can sit while enjoying a drink . of cold water from the spring withfia.'
