PAGE TEN THE FRANKLIN PRESS AND THE HIGHLANDS MACONIAN THURSDAY, JULY IS, 1937 HISTORIC TREE IN HOTEL YARD Hemlock Brought From Manassas During Civil War . At a meeting of the Macon county chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, held at the home of Miss Nora Leach on Monday afternoon, Mrs. Sam L. Rogers read a very interesting paper concerning the old hemlock tree which stands in the yard at the Munday hotel on Main street. The roots of the old tree are soaked in blood, for as a tiny hem lock switch it quivered beneath the roar of artillery at Manassas, was uprooted from, the Virginia field on which the north and suutti twice battled and was ibrought to Frank lin by a country doctor, tied to his saddle, was planted and has grown to be more than 05 feet in height. 1 Dr. J. B. Lyle, father of the laic Dr. S. H. Lyle, irt' whose yard the hemlock was planted, was chosen as Macon county's representative in the general assembly during the civil war and made the trip to Raleigh on horseback, as there were no railroads in this end of the stale. The second battle of Manassas was fought while the assembly was in session, and Dr. Lyle decided on his return to ride by the Vir ginia battlefield, pay a visit to the Macon county company and bring home news of the boys. While vis iting the army Dr. Lyle asked Captain W.. . M. Addington, the father of Mrs. Sam L. Rogers, for a guide to show him around, and William Stalcup, also of Macon county, was given the task. At Dr. Lyle's request he pulled up from the battlefield two switches, a hem lock and a holly, hardly more than a foot high, which Dr. Lyle (brought to Franklin. The holly tree was killed several years ago by fire but the 75-year-old hemlock lives and flourishes. Mrs. J. L. Ray also 'read a very interesting paper at this meeting on "The Unwilling Pallbearer of John Brown." The pallbearer was Thomas Warren, who was then a young slave. He drove the two white horses which pulled the wagon carrying John Brown to the place of execution in Charlestown, Va., on December 2, 1859. Warren is still living and resides in De Soto parish, Louisiana. Noted Opera Soprano 1 To Sing at Junaliuska LAKE JUNALUSKA, July 14. Rosa Tentoni, noted Metropolitan 4-pera soprano, will be heard in a concert here on the night of July 23 under, the auspices of the Meth odist Assembly. Her concert is the first in a .series of three outstand . ing musical events scheduled for the summer. The second concert in the series will present Oscar Shumsky, violin ist, and Florence Franz, pianist, on August 2. Paul Althousc, American Metropolitan Opera tenor, will close the series with a concert on Aug ust 21. The series is thought by many to .be the most outstanding of its kind ever presented at this relig ious, recreational and musical cen ter. Junaluskans are anticipating with a great deal of pleasure the concerts whicK they feel could not be duplicated outside of metropoli tan centers. Miss Tentoni, born in Buhl, Minn., of Italian parentage, became famous overnight when, in Febru ary, 1934, Toscanini chose her to sing under him in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. During the next two years the young soprano rose quickly, being starred in opera at thq New York stadium summer seasons, featured in the Cleveland orchestra's production of Verdi's "Otello," and chosen for the title role in the first American per formance of Gluck's "Iphigcnic as Aulide" with the Philadelphia or chestra. Outstanding in such roles as San tiizza, Nadda and Aida at the Metropolitan, Miss Tentoni will bring to the Junaluska concert stage a well balanced program of semi-classical, classical and opera tic selections. . The noted soprano will bring her accompanist, Alice Taylor, for the performance. Highlands CHURCH NOTICES Highlands, Church of the Incarnation . 10 a", m. Church school. 11 a. in. Morning prayer. .

In January a WPA recreation project was launched with the Satulah club as the spon soring organization. Groups were organized for knitting,' hiking, dra matics, astronomy and games. The games group turned out to be the most popular. Numbers increased from . 14 to 125 iin a month's time. Very meagre equipment was sup plied and the children made and brought their own games. The dra matics group has presented an Amateur night and two one-act plays and is now planning a Play Day for Highlands for July 23. The club rooms were open two'. Highlights or three evenings a week for these groups to meet until April 11, when the groups became too large for so small a space and since it was, felt that the program coulu not be abandoned it was voted to vacate the rooms and meet atthc school until the club house is built.
