Page 2 MARS HILL FIRST AMONG HEALTH RESORTS Twicer Writes of Places of Pleasure and Recreation Kernersville Higher Above the Sea Level Than Pilot Mountain. Mars Hill, Dec. 31. Editors Reporter : In spite of the energy and fidel ity with which Americans stick to their business at all hazards, there aro few couutries where great sum mer and wiuter resorts are more j highly developed than they ate in the I'nited States. On the At-1 auntie coast, from Maine to New Jersey, a succession of beautiful summer resorts have grown up. where splendid hotels, attractive bathing beaches and the other conditions which make such places I leasurable. attract hundreds of thousands of > ! "''ors every year. s t New Jersey, is . ; i i ,' i at ween the win ast resorts, for •"v ■ i --a. s visitors crowd t • t.oieis. Further south it is chieHy winter travelers who pat ronize the seaside, all the way down to the tip of the Florida penisula and thence around the coast of the gulf of Mexico to the Texas cities themselves. The coast of the New England States and Long Island, Delaware, and New Jersey, are marked with! obarming resorts every few miles Florida, with its splendid hotels facing the gulf, forms a distinct resort region of its own for the winter. From Mobile. Ala., to New Orleans, facing the Gulf of Mexico, is a shore which the Southerners term the American Biniera. On the Pacific another distinct group of resorts has de veloped, from San Diego in the south to Alaska in the north. San Francisco becomes the dividing line between the summer and win ter resorts on this coast. South ward from the metropolis of Cal ifornia are such beautiful winter resorts, as Monterey, Santa Bar bara. Santa Cata! na. Los Augeles and San Diego, while northward in the summer multitudes of tour ists take advantage of the moun tain and coast beauties of Puget Sound, British Columbia, and the Alaska shores even furtbc* north., Monterey and Sant a Cattn;: a, likewise, are al'v - us | . j ular ir; summer as i >•. i t. - Between .»j >oeans a limitless v"" ,y j! pleasure grounds . wait the vacation wan ° . at any season. The moun ts. >iS "f New England, the Adiron-1 daeks. the Georgia pines, the lakes i f Michigan. Wisconsin and' Minnesota, the mountains of Cal ifornia and the far west offer cnoiee inexhaustible. Nature has given to this country as lavishly of opportunities for pleasure in wholesome climates aud among beautiful surroundings as it has given of the wealth of the forests, the mines and the farm. We have so far directed our at tention to far off States and we have been notified of the pnrtic-l uiar that we go too far from home to get our subjects on which te write. The city of Mt. Airy, in Surry county. N. C., is counted a uice health resort, and thousands of people go there every year for tbeir health. We notice further that a good many people are help ed as far ns health is concerned in the couuty of Stokes. Great num bers of people go there from all parts of the State during the sum mer seasons. Kernenvillu is also a fine health of the people frojr ttes make that l yrs during the sumu er months. Woi notice further that Keruersville is a fast growing town IS miles west of the Gate City, Greensboro. Keruersville is 3 feet and 4 inches higher above the sea level than Pilot Mt. in Surry county. We wish to notice Mars Hill. It is a couutry village of about 1500 people. There is a large hotel being erected here now. This is to meet the call of people who tie sire to spend the summer months here. It is 10 miles to the nearest j railroad station. Experience hasj taught the wisdom and excellence j of a country looatiou over that of the city or railroad town. There | is not a purer at Biosphere or more I delightful climate in the State, j Mars Hill is practically free from j fog and malaria is unknown. Part j of the old buildings that are now j being used for school purposes! were here during the war. Since j the Civil war there has been a school conducted here. For eleven years Prof. Robt. L. Moore has had the institution in charge. The first of the year the two liter ary socities will move into the new building. The ?10.(XH) building will also be used lor recitation rooms and library. Of all the! health resorts that we mentioned j in the first of this article are only ; secondary, and Mars Ilill is first, j TWICKR. What Santa Claus Brought Jannie E. Flint. Madison. Jan. 3.

Another lot of over 300 suits at $5.95 to $25, and the saving is $5 to $lO the suit. It's no wonder these suits are going like hot cakes.

The State Treasurer is calling upon me to make collections, and urges prompt; collections, and says the State must havtf its taxeß. The funds to the | credit of the county have been exhausted in paying tor the new i bridge at Walnut Cove, and nothing is now left in the Treasury to meet the necessary expenses of the County, and support of the poor; besides the school teachers are now wanting their money, so the peo fle can clearly see the importance of paying their taxes promptly, f is not my desire to put anybody to cost, but I am charged with the collection and settlement of the taxes, and mean to faithfully dis charge my duty in this matter. After the loth of March, your pro perty will be liable to levy and sale for taxes, if you do not pay be fore that time, so please pay now. and save yourselves costs and trou ble. Do not wait until the 15th of March, but pay while yon have the money from sale of tobacco, and get the matter otf your hands, for by doing this, it will be best for you. and fr the best advantage of both State and County. This is the year also, when poll taxes must be paid, in order to vote in the n« xt general election, and you will surely not want to be disfranchised on account of the failure to pay your poll tax within the required time; so meet me on this round and pay up, and be in shape to vote. 1 have made many appoint ments as you will see above, in order to give the people an opportuni ty to settle their taxes with as little trouble to them as possible. I have made this notice lengthy because of thef urgent necessity »f col lecting, and trust the people will not disregard it, but that on this my next round, the taxes will l e promptly paid. The law does not re qure me to make but two rounds, one in October, and tb»* other in March, and then only to go to one place in a township, and I am in curring extra trouble and expense in order to accommodate the * Vi)iB the 27tb day uf pecambur. 1909. • %Respectfully, NOTI CE! To the Merchants : I have plenty of good fresh ground meal, flour, chop and bran. Send me your orders. Prices right. I want all the good wheat I can get.
