In the latter part of the nineteen-' tli century vfashiers Valley, in Jack_ son county was a noted summer re I v - ' sort, Governor Hamp.ton of South Carolina had a- summer home there and it/Tvas the ideal resort of tba. time, located in a remote paH of the *eoun|:y, amidst, the most beauti ful scqjaery in the" country, the eli minate, cool ind invigorating it . ljad . everything , the vacationist hoped IoT- . ?

Will he hiive to go elsewhere and leave bchfnd the advantages offered by "The Land of The Waterfalls." Today the good roads hnve made ?^afhiers Valley accessible and a golf cqurse is supplying the pleasure desired, it is again an ideal resort.

In all their expressions these men talked of the beauty1 of the' ''Land of Waterfalls/' Is this ' V Y'.--.' . j-. ' ' ' not true? Surely there are no men in the world who would know bet, ter tKan these, men who have trav elled far andNnake it their business to know the- country. Western North Carolina is. beautiful in na ture/ it does not' have rough and steep . canyons . of Colorado, nor the geysers of the Vellowstone, the g!a r ciere of Glacier National Park, but St does have that natural, sdft beau ty and- hundreds of acres of virgin timber lands, waterfalls, etc.. whicii ic' picturesque and distinctive of the eaet. ' There has long been the slo gan, "See America First" but should ?we not See the country nearest at hand before we take the fextenpive trips that most people take these words' to mean, The ' Yellow3tbnfe, The Southern Applachian moun tains are nearest the bullj of Ameri_ caV population, if this region were made a National Park w'ith the same care that is given to those ? of the v^'est would not more people in the crowde'd cities geek nature more wheif It is close at hand, yes surely ? no better could be done for Ameri ca 'than to locate a large National Park in the Southern Appalachians, DR. C. W. HUNT IN MEMORIAM (Continued From Fropt Page) JjL, ' * ' and to relieve suffering. Through a long- line of horse lov ing anotstors,- Dj\ Hunt inherited n love for fine horses, and during most -of bis life he kept one or two jood 'horses, '? - Once the doctor bought a wild western horse that no one could break, but he soon had the horse as gentle as a lamb With him. The two of them were affection- 1 ate companions for many years and I i"!re Ball f arried the doctor over | oumberless miles. He was also a fine buggy horse ?nd was only guide'' *?-- the doctors word, "left, Fire Ball,"' "right, Fire Jail," "trot," with never a touch on he reins. Every spoken word was rsstantly obeyed by the horse, no matter what was wanted. The doc tor never tethered this horse when he was making his visits, but threw the reins over the saddle and Fire flail would wait any length of time tor his master. Once fh?y had bee, n the go- all day and reached town abouj sunset. The doc. or stoppe*' to pay a' visit at a house next door 'o his home, so this wise horse dec; 'cd to play a joke on his( master md galloped wildly to his stable' ?Ml of the family rushed from the house in great alaf-m thinking that it last Fire Ball -had thrown the doc tor,^ but 'tjheir feals were relieve*' when .they saw the reins over the saddle. Fire Ball's" l\urry for his supper seemed to evaporate sud denly and he refused to be led to his Stall, while no one dared to ar gue that pq>int With him. He turn ed and faced down the street watch ng for his' master and when he saw i the doctor approaching on "Shank's M^re** his expression 'was almost human. If eye t' a horse laughed that one did. He walked up to the doctor nosing him fondly just as if he would say "only a little joke old pal" and then went into the stable to fix Fire Ball's supper. Cjod< V.'it3 merciful to the doctor.

He seldom, took a .vacation, ev_! er absorbed in his profession and in serving the sick.

Whila her visit was short here on earth she brought sunshine and hap piness into our lives. But now she is gone from us her sweet smile and <icar little words will welcome us no more. It wall hard to giv<; her up Tor her life was a pleasure in our home, but our loss is her gain and Acj' tender feet will never be pierced by the thorns on lifes way. When'God speaks may we all be silent. When he sent th'^ Heavenly message, "It is^ enough, come home little Mary Lee, your mission in the world is finished." She left father, mother, brothers -and sisters heart broken. We try to not think of her as resting beneath the flower cover ed mound in Pleasant Grove, .ceme tery but think 'of her being a bright little angel with Jesus for Heaven is brighter ? :it has gained "another ?Jewel.,' Life changes all our thoughts of Heaven ; At first we think of streets of gpld, Of gates of* pearl and dazzling light, Of shining wings and robes of white, And things all strange to imortal night- , v i *v;'. r;u-. in the afterward of years, ? It is a more familiar place, A home unhurt by sigh or tears, Where waiteth many a well known' face. With passing months it comes more near, It grows more real day by day. Not strange or cold, but very dear, The glad home-Ian J --' fay away. Where none are sick, or ^poor. or ? ? lone, , The nlace where we shall find our own.

This is based on the fact that hot weather is hard on a teething ch'ld. One of the most famous chil ilren's specialists says that h healthy child in teething may Ue fretful and sleep poorly for a few nights, may show loss of appetite and slight fev er and may drool, but such spells I should only last three or four days ? ' and inost of the sympt'-? commonly attributed to teething come from in digestion due to wrong food. For ' children's indigestion, there's nothing more effective than Livo-lax, and they like it.
