PLAN RIG RESORT NEAR STATE LINE Movement On Foot to Utiilil Ho tel At "Xorvale Crasfs," Ten Miles From Uoarint* Gap— Site Is Most Meant it til. Mount Airy. Sept. 21.

At a meeting held here Thursday jk, evening T. N. Woodrutf, of Low (lap; W .1. I!. Sparger and S. M. hale, of (his » i ity, were made directors for this I■§ and T. L. Kelts, of h.lax, Va., V who is hacking the proje. t financial-, ly and otherwise, has already agreed to serve a - a director for Virginiu. The location is only eight or ten r : miles from Roaring Cap and has an ,g elevation of feet v. it!' a view ' ef wonderful expanse 'iinir td t mo.-t any resort located in the if .south, Il overlooks lioth North Car olina and Virginia, and th" pro lj moters point ttiit that the lot al ion is 1 such that the development will not * he an extravagant proposition- un til iv has provided .pu«v water, a cas cade to furnish the electric power. iand huilding a dam will piovide a lake covering It'll acres. At the same time there is no disposition on the part i f the promoters to stint in financing the development. Quite the i contrary. Nature has provided such . | n wonderful opportunity that it de- ! | serves the lust that mail can do to utilize nature's bounty and the pro- i moters plan for a rcsor' that will i hi- the pride and glory of both North 1 Carolina and Virginia. England expects to try a plan for making divorces cheaper, so that poor people can afford them. It is i harder and harder to main tain any social distinctions.—Spokane Spokesman-Review. | WHAT STOKES : SHOI'LD HAVE A Farm Hen: in;dral;i' ami A Moilel Farm Would I'ay \ |.. , ' c'o,:ntv I.arjfe I>i\ ii'emis.
