THE 8TH OFSEPT. 1915
A HISTORIC DAY fOB JAlIlSOIi
Saturday the 18th day of neyt
month is the day set for the jinveil
ing of the monument to the heroes
and heroines of the Confederacy, on
the Court House grounds, at Sylva.
We had calculated that the un
veiling woul4 be . about the first
days of October but the foundation
for the monument is now complete,
and the people who are building the
shaft and statue write that these are
about complete and will be ready
for delivery in ample time for the
unveiling Ceremonies to take place
on the above date This will make
only a few days difference in the
date as originally figured, and the
people can pay their subscription
as easily on the 18th of Sept. as on
the first day of October.
The total cost of the monument
proper, outside the foundation, will
be exactly fourteen hundred dollars,
decidedly one of the most imposing,
beautiful and enduring ever erected
to the Confederate soldiers for that
amount of money. We are perfectly
willing to compare cost and quality
with any other similar memorial in
the South!
We are making fine headway in
procuring by popular subscription
the necessary funds, but we must,
have the entire
or as ney1'a''''pc&tC.the
date of the unveiling.
It will be one of the principal
faatures of the ceremonies to turn
this m.nument over to the people
of Jackson county. It will belong to
all the people of the county to all
time.
It is sincerely to be hoped and
confidently to be expected that no
loyal, patriotic son of a Confederate
soldier wiU let this one and only
opportunity pass without contribut
ing something toward the erection
of this sacred memorial. Men of this
generation we owe it to our mothers
as well as to our fathers to perpetu
ate their memory.
Gentlemen, sons of Confederate
mothers, this monument is dedicat
ed to them, lest we forget. And the
sainted heroines of that war suffered
far more in their lonely, and desolat
ed homes than the men upon the
ensanguined field.
Men of Jackson have a part
interest in this monument for your
selves and your children.
Don't wait to be called upon but
let us hear from you with your
Subscription.
In next weeks issue of the Journal
we will publish a list of the sub
scribers and a program of the un
veilingthe greatest event in the
history of Jackson County.

The writer made a flying trip to
Canton. Hazelwood and Lake Juna
luska. Canton is a thriving town
of about 2000 or 2500 people. The
Champion Fibre Company is work
ing about 800 hands in their plant
at Canton, and I was informed that
the pay roll of the company at
Canton amounted to about $70000
per month. This company is build
ing Canton, It takes a permanent
pay roll to build a town. It affords
a market for the produce of the
surrounding country, such as milk,
butter, fruits, vegetables etc.
The people of Haywood have
quite a lot of the mountains
cleared up, and devoted to pasture,
and heTd after h rd of fine catl'e
grazing on them. The stock raisers
have long ago caught the idea of
making money easy by stock rais
ing. The Southern Assembly at Lake
Junaluska has spent multiplied
thousands of dollars in and around
the Lake, and from what I learned
this enterprise has only laid the
foundation for greater things.
WaynesVille and Hazelwood will
soon be one solid town.
Quite a number of low country
people are spending the summer at
Waynesville.
The writer was tempted to stay
over for the Sneezers' Convention
Hat Eagle's Nest. I was informed
jfp1eic V
Balsam has quiteiJ few low coun
try?people for the hot season. All
this brings money into the moun
tains. Jackson county has every
facility that Haywood has, only we
have not turned our attention in
the direction of making easy money
and easy livings. Good roads is the
key note to the whole situation. In
Haywood county you will find miles
and miles of good roads. These
good roads please the tourist. The
more good roads we have in these
mountains, the more tourists will
come among us to partake of our
good things wnich they do not have
We need their money, and can pay
them partly in pure air and cold
water for their money. Why not
prepare to make this exchange with
them, when all concerned would be
greatly benefitted? Haywood coun
ty has ten times as much money in
circulation as Jackson county, with
the prospect of greater progress still.
The Tuckaseigee Association
which closed at Cullowhee Sunday,
was a success. Quite a large gath
ering of people, w;th a number of
visitors from a distance. The next
Association goes to Beta.
The. body of Billy Parker was
taken through Cullowhee; Sunday,
for burial at Caney Fork, his former
home. He died in Qualla where he
had lived for several years. In Mr.
Parker Jackson County has lost one
of her best citizens.
A revival meeting is in progress
at Speedwell conducted by Rev.
Totherow. X. Y. Z.
The game of ball played by the
Sylva and Camp Cherokee teams, at
Bryson City. Wednesday, was won
by the Sylva boys, the score being

HOW TO GET SICK
Here are a few simple, certain,
dead-easy ways of getting sick.
They are guaranteed to produce
results or you get your money back.
If you don't believe it, try them
once.
By hurrying through your meals
and gulping down a lot of poorly
cooked, unchewed " brick-bats and
mortar " by way of soggy biscuits
and fat meat that would defy a
goat's stomach.
By never smiling at meals but by
wearing a grouch and trying to
make the rest of the family miser
able. By over eating and under exercis
ing, by constipation, intemperances
and excesses, by everlastingly hurry
ing, worrying, fretting, stewing and
straining to keep up appearances.
By sleeping with the windows
closed and by staying in doors all
the time.
By drawing more out of your
physical and nervous bank account
every day than you restore.
By always reading medical books,
medical ads , and trying to diagnose
your own case, especially if you
didn't have any case to start with.
By taking every old medicine
recornmended by your friends and
neighbors.
By telling everybody else how
badly you feel and trying to out
point them in their petty ailments.
By enjoying poor health - yes,
just that. There are a few people
one occasionally meets who really
enjoy poor health. Thexfeel badly
when they feel good because ? they
are just sure they are ,. going tojleel
worse afterward. Are , you one of
them? ' ' "
