Some mischievous bovs or the mean- cist man in Macon county have been amusing themselves- recently by stick ing pins in. the tires of automobiles left parked on the streets. Several autoists .have been the victims of these pranks. It is needless to say that if the authorities catch the cul prits said culprits will get about 30 days in which to think the matter ov r. s -Earn day. an increasing number of new faces are seen pn the streets. In other words summer visitors are be ginning to arrive to enjoy the unex celled climate of our mountains. To each and all the Press extends a wel come and wishes them a happy va cation. HOME COMING WEEK EDITION ' Next week's edition of the Press will be the Special Home Coming Edition This edition will consist of more than- twenty-four pages, practi cally three- times the size of the rpcular wpplclv issue. '-'For several weeks the Press staff has been at work on this edition, in vestigating every phase of Macon countv life, coverintr all fields of in terest and endeavor, with the desire of: making this edition an authorita tive and accurate mirror of the whole county. ' '"In these investigations effort has not been-spared to get facts wherever they anight be located. The leaders of; every activity have been interview ed, and consulted, business men have been consulted, research has been made into records, so that the facts reflect not the opinion of any one in dividual but the general concensus of those entitled, by virtue of knowledge, to. an opinion. kThe Press makes no claim 'to absolute originality, either of thought or of authorship to all of the great mass of material comprising this edi tion. We have taken unsapringly from every available source, endeav oring to give credit where possible. Our intention and. aim has been to make next week's Press a milestone of the progress of Macon county, a recapitulat'pn of. her past achieve ments,, a prophecy of her future, ..We have, in the work of prepara tion for its issue, done several things which needed to be done. We have for the first time collected in one place the principal facts of County History from the earliest period down to' the present time. Certain periods of our history had previously been well covered, others remained only as folk lore or as musty and dust covered records in some long for gotten corner. , , The principal facts have been col lected in one short sketch for those who care' to know the story of Macon county's progress. In thdir collection too labor has been spared to - make tnem authoritative. We have in dulged in no guess work, where there has been rid record the account has been labeled as legendary. We have jnjiit taken account of every incident Space forbade.. What we have is as cpmpetle as record can make it and af authoritative as can be from avail able sou: ces. The sketch has been .viritich with a sense of relative values and with discrimination as to sources. We hope that it will be of value and that, Ihough a la.bor of love, it "will not be a total loss. We have covered also as thoroughly as space and time allowed, numerous other aspects of Macon county activi ty. We have sketched the condition c f agriculture and tried to point out the possib'iliiies that exist in the soil of Maconi In calling attention to these things we have tried to main tain a clear economic view of condi tions and have religiously1 avoid.ed plain or fancy windjammijig. 1 We have investigated the business of the county and have summarized the acts for ready assimilation. We have covered the Nantahala National Forest and have attempted to show its relationship to the sec tion. This article was prepared 'by the officers of the Forest who, better than any, could give the facts. . We have given much attention to the advantage of Macon as a recrea tional center and ..toits opportunity as a great summer play ground. ' Wc have told the story of highway development in Macon ounty. We have drawn a thoroughly ac curate picture of the mineral industry as it is and will be. .. ' Schools and educational develop mcnt have been stressed and every other activity of the county has been given a share of attention. We have attempted to make this paper a record of our conditions, a spring board from which . we leap forward. One week from today it will be in the hands of its readers, carrying with it, the story of a past, glorious in its development, a reflection of the present, sound in its condition and rilled with opportunity, a challenge to a' future, which shall be builded into a structure of noble proportions in wihch through unrelenting effort'shall be found the fulfillment of promise and the consummation of desire." The Parking Law In this issue appears a letter from Major G. C. Dugas concerning the ?) mmulc parking law in effect on a certain portion of Main street. There is, much truth in what Major Dugas bas to ray. We do not believe that the town, board wishes to drjys strangers from our town or to sub ject thtm to any indignities. The Mayor and Chief of Police are cer tainly not to blame for enforcing any ordinance passed by the council. VV admit that before the; parking aw , was passed the congestion on Mai;v-ftreet was very undesirable. lawevcr we believe the city fathers hhould, take, some steps to make Grangers feel that they are welcome l-'ra-ikiirt. - The question of p'trking on Main street is a serious one, but we believe that it would be better o i evoke the parking ordinance' rath er than have strangers feel that the town is out for. the dollar. , If i he city fathers are of the opinion that it is' unwise to. revoke the parking ordinance, certainly numerous signs hould be placed along the restricted area , so that those unfamiliar with the ordinance will have no excua? fot' its violat'on. Card of Thanks Mrs. Hayes Snyder and family wish to thank their friends for the floral offerings on the death of their hus band and father. Thev are oarticular- v erateful for the thouehtfulness and tympathy of their friends on the sad occasion to which reference has been made. . . , ADVERTISEMENT Traveling Hoist for Tainter Gates for the Hydro Electric Development Franklin, N.
