MUSIC RECITAL On Friday night of last week the pupils of Mrs. E. L. Crawley rendered a delightful and highly appreciated musical recital. The auditorium was filled to capacity and each number was thoroughly enjoyed by the musically inclined. No prizes were given, and indeed it would have proven a difficult task to select the ones most deserving. All were especially good. COMMENCEMENT SERMON The Commencement Sermon of Littleton High School was delivered on Sunday, May 1, by the Rev. J. A- Milliard, Jr. To a full auditorium the speaker presented a picture] of life not as a bed of roses, and of ease, but as a condition which should be met with fortitude, bravery, and realization that life was in 1 many instances the survival of the fittest. Mr. Millard's discourse was a talk, rather than a sermon, and was as well received as any Commencement address ever given in this vicinity. The faculty of Littleton High School and citizens of this community are to be highly congratulated upon having an opportunity of hearing such an inspiring and uplifting address. Invocation was by Rev. W. T. Phipps, Scripture read by Rev. G. A. Hendricks, and Benediction by the Rev. Francis Joyner. CLASS DAY EXERCISES Class Day Exercises were held on Monday evening at 6 p. m. on the front campus of the school. Supt. J. Edward Allen gave a very interesting talk. The young ladies were I especially lovely gowned in afternoon dresses of pastel shades. [ ENTERTAINS AT C ARDS Mrs. William W. Johnston was a . delightful hostess to six tables of bridge at the home of her mother, Mrs- M. W. Ransom, on College r street Friday afternoon, April 29, at 3 o'clock.

The region is so vast it would require days of motor travel to visit the most interesting spots as they are widely separated. The mountain dwellers ars mostly native born and hardy folks of good will, possessing physical strength and endurance and love of the outdoors. They have an intimacy with the hills and valleys and know the hiding places of the wild animals of the forests. In eveiy settlement there are traditions of daring hunters who have killed so big i number of bears cr wildcats. They lived close to the earth for generations and needed little from J. Perry.

Man Badl}' Hurt When Hit By Car A serious automobile accident, which may yet prove fatal, occurred Saturday night near 5-point filling star ion, on the outer edge of Littleton, when a car driven by Vernon Walker, ran over an old colored man, Eli Goins. Goings leg was broken above the knee and amputation may be necessary. According to information received in this office, Goings, who was walking, was under the influence Qf liquor, and on his person was found two pints of whiskey, neither of which were broken in the impact, nor had the seal on either been broken. It appeared the accident was unavoidable due to the condition of the wounded man. 1 Do Yo Persona] 1 Wor Have pressir 1 i _ _ maae you nee ... and quic sound solution Bank will be g you for a pers sound basis, quirement is tl collateral or rating to insi retirement.

They have originality and activities clearly their own, but in recent years they have unlearned some things and learned new things. Roads, schools and visitors have brightened and varied their lives, changed their problems, increased their desires and given them a better understanding of accepted usages. New wants have set free their energies but the best of all changes are the human changes. We WTOte last of Highlands in Maccn county, the town with the highest altitude east of the Rockies. Two decades ago this section was reached only by wagon roads little better than gullies. It was almost detached from the rest of the State and the people had an isolated existence. Concrete highways give one a feeling of permanence and security. They lace up towns and tie communities tcgether. We wish to [ write now of a stretch of that* splendid motorway leading eastward from Highlands to Hendersonville, Chimney Rock and Charlotte where it links with roads to the eastj Along this road the motorist can1 ride leisurely and linger among j scenes where one's interest never lags, cr he can whiz from the mountains to the sea. This road is an avenue to the Great Smokies and the Tennessee Valley and has a heavy flow of travel from Georgia, Tennessee arid the Carolinas. Soon after leaving Highlands eastward this road enters j Jackson county arid passes through j Cashier's Valley, known as the Sapphire county and embraced in the Nantahala National Park. Not far from this road stands Whiteside mountain, so named because a great rock slopes precipitously down to the valley. This granite cliff has a smooth surface one-half mile long and 1200 feet wide, a rock so immense that the great Egyptian pyramid, Cheops, would look small by the side of it. Here you can set your eyes on a monument of everlasting existence according to the finite mind. At the foot of this cliff rises the Chattooga river that flows into the Tugaloo which forms the Savannah by joining streams that flow out of two Georgia counties, Hall and Hbersham, made famous by the poem of Sydney Lanier, "The Hills of Hab? = gEE5s^y I u Have I I Money ries? 1 g obligations _ i 11 d money badly kly?

PAY BY CHECK Insurance Corporation? ip to $5,000 for each de = jai I Warren ton. North Carotin* ersham and the Valleys of Hall." fc Going through the heart of ^ Cashier's Valley, this road encircles ^ gorges, crosses deep ravines and at times passes under the chin of a mountain. Here nature has molded e earth's surface into forms of artis- C tic excellence and concentrated in l the sweep of the eyes a panorama a of blended hills, valleys and streams, j Forests spread out on both sides of a the roadway, while flowering under- i brush covers the grounds and at c this season pleasant odors of bios- r soms fill the air. Traveling this f road the first time is an adventure t that is richly flavored as every turn v delights you with fresh views.. You s become so absorbed and amazed v with the beauty of scenes that all c else slips from the mind, and the t desire to see more of it carries you alcng. v The best known places in this \ valley for rest and recreation are c High Hampton and Fairfield. As 2 the hierhwav runs from cnnnt.rvsiHe ( to countryside it passes some rural developments. Just off the roadway, mostly hidden by dense forests, \ are a number of splendid estates, ^ attractive homes with grounds and s drives of arlistic beautification- The owners bring their families and I guests here in summer to enjoy rest and pleasant breezes beneath mountain peaks. Thoughs of living m in ease and comfort in the midst of ~ such lovely surroundings, reminds 1 one of the picture that Tom Dixon gave of the joys he experienced it his heme on the shore of Chesapeake Bay?"The Life Worth Living.'' There are side roads in this lureland that lead to secluded places of peculiar charm, especially the one that turns north to Glenville and , Sylva. If the motorist be so minded he can turn aside and visit " jungled valleys, rippling streams and waterfalls of conspicuous beauty. One place of particular interest Is the Montvale Game Farm where hundreds of pheasants are raised yearly and shipped to game preserves. This farm is reached by a seven mile drive over a read that turns southward soon after the highway enters Transylvania county from Jackson. These birds retain much of their wild nature and have to be confined in large covered wire pens. As pheasant hens in captivity do not nest and hatch, the eggs are gathered and hatched by chicken hens.
