THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
IIiriE FOLKS 1J PAOKASX
They Contributed An Important Part
To Annual ftamlhfll Fair
The little folks of the Community
Pinehurst contributed an important part
to the Sandhills Fair of October last; an
annual event which bids fair to claim the
attention of early season tourists, for
well worth a special journey it is. Sec
retary Clyde L. Davis of the Board of
Trade wrote the story in verse, wrote it
mighty cleverly, and these children
recalled the history of the section in the
following characters :
Sir Walter Ealeigh
Indian
Colonist
Highlander
Confederate Soldier
Lumberman
Turpentine Hand
Tourist
Farmer
Virginia Dare
Frank Page
Wimberly Bowman
Cecil Ferrell
James Fagan
Melvin Creel
Kenneth Keith
Elton Weldon
Daniel Alfred
Harold McKeithan
Miss Janet Leach
If Here 's what Sir Walter Raleigh had to
say by way of introduction, and it's sug
gestive of the entire story of several
thousand words:
Used to farm in Kansas;
Land was awful high;
Kept a-gettin' poorer
Likewise so did I.
Hard-pan reached the fence wires;
Blizzards used to blizz;
Frost would kill the orchard;
Wife had rheumatiz.
Season dry as brick dust
Three year in succession
Sold an went to Dixie
Bought a big plantation.
Land was rich as Croesus
Raise most anything;
Summers hot as Hades
'Skeeters how they'd sting!
Folks was mostly niggers.
Ager pills was board,
Not a decent school, ner
Church to praise the Lord.
Wife was gettin' homesick
Dwellin ' in a bog
Packed my household plunder
Whistled fer the dog.
Comin' through the Sandhills
Saw a painted sign :
"Land is inexpensive,
Socially we're fine;
Best of health and climate
Wondrous yields are made."
Saw the Secretary
Sand Hill Board of Trade.
Bought a piece of farm land
Worked to beat creation
Fired a million questions at
Th' farm association.
Wouldn't sell fer money
Health is simply great
Fortune comes a-jumpin'
In the Old North State.
Raisin' bright tobaccer,
Cotton, corn an' fruit,
Lots of pigs and chickens
Garden sass to boot
Sunday school an' day school,
Work and also play;
'Low to start from here on
Resurrection Day!
If Best of all there's to be another one
next October.
THE ROADS
motor Tourint CommentM Favorably
Upon Their Excellence
"It's always appeared to me as being
rather curious," said a Carolina guest,
who has toured extensively, the other
evening, "that the good roads of the im
mediate section are not more generally
and favorably commented on. Personally,
I have never seen their equal, under nor
mal conditions. If " To be sure wet
weather puts them out of condition for a
short time, but they are speedily restored
to normal and they have certainly trans
formed the section. In the White Moun
tains, for instance, about all they talk
about are their roads, and taken mile for
mile they are not in the same class with
those which open up the section
round about Pinehurst.
' ' I judge that some of the present sea
son difficulty in various localities is due
to the fact that new material added last
fall did not get a chance to set because
of wet weather, but as a matter fact,
these roads look a good deal worse than
they really are. In my experience I have
found them reasonable at all seasons.
"To my mind your perpetual main
tenance policy is an innovation which
should be adopted everywhere, for the
general impression that the good roads
subject is solved as soon as the road is
built, is altogether too prevalent."
A Preachment With a moral
Thank God for a sense of humor if you
possess it. If not cultivate the habit.
Past average human understanding is the
effect upon condition of "condition of
mind. ' ' If Sometimes we really consider
Christian Science seriously but the fact
is we can't quite overcome the "belief"
that there is a pond on the tenth hole!
1fAnd the moral is "forget it!"
"Jlloney or marble"
Bridge "money or marbles" you'll
find a congenial trio waiting for you at
Carolina, Inn or Berkshire. If Rather a
nice way to round out an evening. .
