Franklin is not overburriene8"vv'Tth mn whn ar willinar to do active work for public causes, but there are a i v. v plenty of men wno are wming iu mi around and tell what should be done. ,Tvurnml thrce-fourths miles of Snnthprn Kailwav in Nantahala town ship is listed for taxation at approxi mately $220,000.00. Fourteen miles of the Tallulah Falls Railway is listed at $34,000.00. The tax listers should moke diligent inniiiripc tn determine whether or not all property is listed. The old method of taking the previous year's listings does not work out well in practice, . The statements of the three banks in Macqn county published about three months ago showed total re Bni.rre rtf $640,881.70. The state meats last week showed ' resources of $746,643.80, being an increase -n three months of $105,767. w. Miss Helen Burch, in charge of the Tenrher Traininor Denartnient of the Franklin High school, is doing a very excellent work for the county and state. Miss Burch is thoroughly familiar with the most modern meth nMa nf tpnrhinc and has th haDDV faculty of imparting this kt owledge to others. If all those ibe is now training will teach in M.acpn county the results in the county within the next two or three years;wfll: be re markablc. ; . Highlands " The Press has no desire to meddle in the politics of Highlands. How ever, we do 'feel a keen interest in the future of the town. At th approaching election o i May 5rh, the people of Highlands ar, to vote on the question of a bond, issue of $45,000 for the purpo.?e of install ing a municipal water system.'4 As usual in such cases the citizens of the town appear to have differ ences of opinion as, to the wisdom of this proposition. In the heat of the campaign charges and counter charges are being made. The Press does not presume to understand all phases of this question. However, we believe that an expression of our opinion on Highlands' bond issue will not be out of place. All who ' are familiar with the whims of tourists now know that they are demanding, and are willing to pay for, the best accomodations, They are praticularly finicky, and rightly so, concerning modern con veniences and sanitary precautions. Each town in North Georgia and Western North Carolina is in kaen ct.mretiticn with every other town or the tourist trade. In other words no town need consider that it has a monopoly of this trade. Tourists will jiaturally drift to the town that offers Vt the best in conveniences, health water works .and a modern ' sewage disposal Fystetn is seriously handi capped. Highlands, although a cen ter of trade for a large, section Jbf the county, is primarily a tourist town. Every- inducement that its citizens can offer to the tourists will be well worth while. ; Highlands' reputation for hospi tality, its altitude and healthful cli mate should be capitilized to the fullest possible extent. And the bond issue for a water system will be of immense help along this line. Obituaries The Press, of course, deeply sym pathizes with those who suffer the loss of relatives. And we shall al ways be glad to publish a short state ment of facts concerning the life of the deceased age, date of death. churhc connections, names of living children, brothers, pistcrs, etc. But the Press has recently grown in size to such an extent that our linotype operator 'imply docs not have the time to stf an extended account of the death of any one. Poetry on the death of a person is of no particular interest to any one excepting the immediate family of. the deceased. We therefore cannot attempt to pub lish poetry of this kind. The Press has enough news of gen eral interest' to fill two' papers of its size each week. It is therefore not a question of finding something to go in the paper, but ot what of neces sity must be left out. Consequently we trust tha he phblic will atke this fact into considcraion when sending in Obituaries. Who Am I? T have scattered bread crusts.. Sun day supplements and paper plates from Tugalo to th, Smokies. I have hacked forest tree? and left campfires burning from Asheville to Blue Ridge, t.a. I have hooked peaches from Haber sham orchards and apples from Ma- rnn rnnntv ' I have rolled rocks into the sap phire depths oS Burton Lake and thrown tin cans into Lake Jurtaluska. I have seen all. heard all. and in my weak, way, have managed to des- tory much. I am the earless and thoughtless American Tourist 1 . The lumber industry represents in vestments totaling $12,000,000,000, em ploys SOO.OOOpersons and indirectly about 1,000,000, and its annual output has a value of more than $3,000,000,- 000. Annually through destruction of forests hv fires left bv careless" camD- ers or smokers it and the nation are subject to timber losses wnicn ag gregate millions of dollars. Para phased frorri the Manufacturer. Green Lawns Nothing helps the appearance of a city much more. than handsome lawns of smooth turf. Soav soils may grow nice grass without effort, but the majority need some work. Weeds seem to enjoy growing in lawns, and the householder is likely to have a constant fight to keep them out. It does not do much good mere to pull him up by the roots. Most ly to cut off a weed's head, you need lawns need fertilizing, for the soil will grow thin and poor unless regu larly fed. The indolent man may say this is too strenuous, but a velvety lawndds amazingly to a home, and gives it a distinctoin that can not be had merely by expenditure of money on a handsome dwelling. Franklin has many beautiful lawns and many that are not beautiful. - ., Thrifty Country Woman A recent survey of 4138 women in 16 states, conducted by the American Home Economics association, showed that 3413 of them still like to do the family sewing. Most of the women preferred to make ther own and their children's lighter "garments. More than half of them make their old skirts ' into clothes for their daughters, and Father's trousers are made over for the boys. "Thus the fine old spirit of thrifty use of materials still prevails in these country homes, and they can get along on a level of expense far below what isnecessary among the people who have to buy everything new and can not use needles or sewing ma chines. This practical ability carries many families in Ma'con county by difficult periods ih comparative com fort. : ' ' ' ':' : v - ',' Substantial tioods Some of the country people get the idea that they can buy, their sup plies of mail order .houses and in distant cities at a lower price than they will cost in their own , home stores. They should take into con sideration the matter of quality. . Country stores do not use any more second rate goods than they can help, because such material so often proves unsatisfactory, 1 They feel they '-can not build up a reputation on ruch. material. Many people will buy second grade stuff elsewhere, jr.d think they are getting a big bar gain, wnen as a matter of fact the material is not economical in the long i tiri. It would have paid them better to have bought good material 2.1 1j?X fiitl . t.m-JHka.jrt4rmr i Smith's Drug Store Dr. Frank T, Smith is a thorough believer in forest . conservation.' He" is co-ooerating in every way with those who have, charge o? the exer cises for Forest Week, April 27-May J. With this end in view Dr. Smith has arranged a window, display, part of which shows a beautiful green forest, high mountains .nd rushing streams.! The other half of the win dow shews the desolation of the country after a fire barren slopes and charred stumps. As an object lesson in. fire prevention Dr. Smith's window display is worth a long journey and thoughtful consideration. NOTICE TO BE PUBLISHED In the District Court of the Unit ed States for. the.
