NOT ONLY INDIVIDUALS, BUT KlftMS, CORPORATIONS, CITIES, STATES, THE NATION, ARE SPENDING TOO MUCH. HOW CAN THINGS IMPROVE WHEN WE HAVE no MONEY SAVED TO INVESTf WHO 8AVE8 MONEY? PEOPLE HAVE GOT TO HAVE LUXURIES AND CAN'T BE BORED WITH THE IDEA OF SAVING. Our habit of mind has got to be that we must have what our neighbor has. We really accept this as the reason for spending money. Next door they have an automobile. It is convenient and pleasant. So the NEIGHBOR MUST HAVE ONE TOO. It was expected that ABOUT $700,000,000 THIS YEAR WOULD BE SPENT IN AUTOMOBILES, including the money put into the plants and the money spent for the machines. And this is only one item. We simply MUST LEARN TO PUT MONEY RY, must learn to invest it, if we want to have any lasting prosperity.

The more I go into West ern North Carolina the more I am impressed with the great ness and grandei r of that section of this glorious old State of outs—its fine climate and beautiful* scenery, its wealth of forests and fertile fields, its Vast waterpowers and mineral resources, and its still greater wealth of splend id citizenship. On Saturday morning, Aug. 12th we left North Wilkes boro in Automobiles, the party being composed of Messrs. C. E. Jenkins, the popular traveling salesman, C. A, Hadley, Richmond Go., ]. W. West and Mrs. J. W. West of Wilmifigton, Miss| Hannah Taylor of Rocky j Mount, two Chaffeurs, Barnes and Paris of Wilkesboro and . myself, and we were bound for Blowing Rock, that famous { summer resort, 55 miles west of Wilkesboro. Our first stop was at | Moravian Falls and took ar peep in at the Yellow Jacket | office, from which office flows more colums of original and carcastic “dope” than any place in North Carolina. Our next slop was tor the night at Lenoir, where we spent a most pleasant night at the Martin House, and we might add here that many thanks are due Mr. and Mrs, Farth ing for their efforts in enter taining us. On Sunday morning at 9 o’clock we were on our way up the mountain a distance of 23 miles over a splendid road. Now it traverses the heart of the forest fragrant, with bal sam and ferns, then emerges into the sunlight, where wide spread views of matchless grandeur are spread out be fore you And from another point you get a glimpse of some sweet quiet valley with perchance, the modest home of some mountaineer, in its little clearing, far below. Aside from a few small mis haps, the trip was made with out accident, to Blowing Rock where: 1 he girls are very sweet. And dress very neat, On the mountain top At Blowing Rock. Blowing Rock stands 4300 feet above the sea level, com I nianding a splendid; view qf the surrounding country, one of the4finest views which all our mountain country affords. For miles and miles tip and down the valley and across toward the north and west un ' til mountain tops and sky I seem to come together and sight is lost in the mist-like haze that rims the horizon there is spread out a picture the varied coloring and mag nificent beauty of which lan guage fails me to describe. | Reaching Blowing Rock a little after noon, the time was delightfully and qpitely spent enjoying a fresh cool breeze. ! To the west from this point ca*: be seen the peaks of Grandfather mountain, so called from the resemblenee of its profile to that of an aged man, and which stands up as majestic as Gibralter, 5964 feet above the sea Leaving Blowing Rock at 5 o’clock p m.

YOUR FRIENDS, SHORE & DOTJTHIT ' I' T ill r.itrir i iS i in i • .1 ■■ M i ? ■■ tdUWffltf'fa our return we visited the Rock from which the place takes its name, also took a drink, (of water,) ou t t f the spring that is the head of the Yadkin i river which, further down, I furnishes so much power and other benificial enterprises for North and South Carolina, before entering into the great Atlantic. j Nothing unusual happened j before reaching Lenoir except I when (for a minute) the! thoughts of those in the front car were lost to the fried chicken they were expecting when the}T reached Lenoir and the Automobile was run into a toll gate, demolishing the same. At Lenoir the night was spent again and the drive to Wilkesboro occupying about three hours. Here it was necessary for us to tell the remainder of the party good bye. Mr. Jenkins is due many thanks for his kindness during the trip. Mi. and Mrs. West left the following Fri day for their home. Mr, West being a conductor on the Atlantic Coast Line and having a short vacation. Miss Taylor left the same day for Baltimore, Md, ou business. The party enjoyed the trip to the fullest, and it will long be remembered by all. W. E. R. Accused Of Stealing E. E. Chamberlain, of Clinton, Me. boldly accuses Bucklen’s Arnica Salve of steahug-the sting from bums or scalds-the pain from sores of all kiuds-the dis tress from boils or piles. “It robs cuts, corns, bruises, sprains and injuries of their terror,” he says, ‘its a healing remedy its equal don’t exist,” Only 25o. at all druggists.
