The following article is well worth
the careful and thoughtful study o
every high school boy and girl and
fvprv teacher and parent.' It was
written by Dr. Henry Louis Smith
president of Washington and Lee
University and a fine scholar and
Christian gentleman, one of the very
finest in our whole Southland. Every
parent ought to read it and .talk to
their boys and girls about it...
"Out of every hundred young
Americans starting the twelve year
climb toward a high school diploma,
onlv four or five, a tinjr group of
trained' and tested winners finally
reach the shinine coal. TheV ar
publicly applauded as victors in a
long contest, . and are officially an
noiinced as beine readv for college.
But why should out of every hun
dre.dof these trained vounir Ameri
cans should from ten to twenty-five
make a dismal and often tragic fail
ure of their longed for college course
(why also are there so many such
trgic failures in high school).'
, This is an age of gasoline and jazz
of the movie, of the new young wom
en and their liberty, and pleasure
seeking young men, of a general epi-
: demic of rebellion, especially among
the young, and immature, against
pvprv kin H nf restraint or coercion
and also of swift and multitudinous
develooment of every department of
human activity." He goes on to say
that so many are being caught in this
whirl of modern life and activities
unship ta understand the times, un
able to think for themselves, taking
hold of the oleasurcs of today with
out a though of the tomorrow, not
knowing the . absolute necessity o
having a trained mind, body an
heart to cope with the perplexitie
and problems of modern lite.
" A Revival Meeting
This is to let the people of Macon
county know that the good Christian
work is making much progress, and
great headway at Oak Grove at the
present time.; i With Rev. W. W,
Marr conducting the services, begin
ning at 11 a. m. and 7 p. m. each day.
There has been several conversions
and additions to the church.' Appar
ently the good work has just begun:
as everybody seems very deeply m
terested.
We believe thfit Rev. W. W. Marr
is one or the ahlest; evangelistic
preachers we have in the state of
North Carolina, as he possesses the
ability to preach the Gospel with
such power and simplicity to lost
men, that sinners shall not err there
in.-- V; . ''
We extend a most welcome invita
tion to one and all to attend the serv
ices .while the opportunity lasts.
Come once, you will come again.

Engineer to Locate Here
Mr. John Grady Owens, a promi
nent 'engineer of Asheville, who spe
cializes in land surveying, sub-chv-
lSions, mapping, platting, calculation.
etc., will open a branch office in
Franklin, next Feburary. Mr. Owens
has. been kepping in close touch with
developments iu and near Franklin
and has conic to the conclusion that
the next few months will open up a
large amount of. business in his line.
Prospective future developments in
Macon county would seem to indi
cate that the conclusions of Mr,
Owens are based on sound logic.
Christmas Trees
'The ."local Boy Scout , troop has
solved the Christmas tree problems
of the Franklin people, If you want
a Christmas tree, holly. sprigs, mis
tletoe or other 'evergreens, just leave
your order with the Boy Scouts and
they will do the rest.
HE CHANCED to spy a bunch of greens
That hung above his head.
And then he looked at her askance,
-IPhat is that thina?" he said.
She blushed and shook her learned locks,
And turned her face aside.
"Oh, that is oerq interestingl"
She rapidly "replied,
IThe druids used to hunt for it
To keep their souls from strife
And sometimes theu would cut it doom
UTith silver bladed knije, s
And one time Baldir of the Norse,
Or legend tells us so,
V7as shot UTith arrows of it, so
Some fear the mistletoe."
"The Mistletoe? Step out a bit
I'm not afraid of this.
Ill tell uou what I know of it." .

Santa Claus has left with me a number of dolls for the little
folks and just wants traveling expenses out of them. All kinds to
suit size, taste and pocketbook.
I also carry a nice line of stationery, handkerchiefs, bill folds,
pocket knives, sweaters, hosiery wool, silk and cotton. A good
line of groceries AND the price is RIGHT. For your fruits, nuts
and candies, see me.
I wish to thank the people for their patronage during the past.
Each dollar, dime and penny spent with me is highly appreciated.
With best wishes to all for a Merry Christmas and a Prosper
ous New Year.

HE'S HERE! WHO?
That Famous Stark's Golden Delicious apple and her equally famous sister, Stark's Red Delicious. Recently some have ma
ligned her because they are jealous of her success, beauty and taste. These apples will be on display at the Franklin Pharmacy
every Saturday. View their charms and confound their critics.
Taxes are going up and the sale of fruit will pay these taxes. Thousands of tourists are coming to Macori county and the
market is thus assured. ,
Do you know that Macon county is in the same thermal belt as Missouri and nearby statesthat the soil of Macon county
is peculiarly adapted to apples and other fruits that Stark's Delicious will bear apples on one year wood that I am in a position
to give special prices on demonstration orchards of the leading varieties from Stark's nurseries that I will give one Courtland apple
tree with each order of $10.00 or more that Stark's Golden Delicious and Stark's Red Delicious bring enormous prices that they
have been grown in Macon county, in Western North Carolina, in upper South Carolina, in North Georgia and that the growers
have met with unqualified success?
Ask Mr. Higdon, Mr. Chas. Mincey of Ellijay and Mr. C. L. Stanfield of Cullasaja what their experiences have been with
StarkVapple trees. Read below what Mr. Alex Moore and Mr. W. B. Lenoir have to say. Also read the letter of Mr. Sam J. Is
bell, manager of the Mountain Home Orchards of Walhalla, S. C. These statements should convince the most skeptical that those
who malign Stark's Golden Delicious and Red Delicious don't know what they are talking about.
In addition to the finest apple trees in the world, Stark's nurseries grow peach, cherry, plum and other fruit trees. Also all
kinds of berry vines, evergreens and shrubbery. They likewise specialize in landscape gardening,
My, knowledge of Stark Bros; Nurseries that I have gotten
by several years experience in dealing with them is, that there
is not a more reliable concern in, the world than Starks'have
proven to be. Their superior nursery stock, and fair dealing
with customers is not, in my belief, excelled by any concern of
the kind. , '
Their famous 'delicious apples can't be beaten and through
my experience they are especially adapted to this country. . The
Old Oak process root system insures the lives of the trees.
(Signed) ALEX MOORE.
. In my opinion Stark Bros. Nursery products are the best on ,
the market today. My dealings with them have been' entirely
satisfactory. Their products are all they claim them to be as
far as my experience has been. I would not hesitate to recom
mend the company to anyone contemplating on planting ;an or
chard. (Signed.) AV. B. LENOIR.

Again Mountain' Home Orchards won first with the Stark
Red Delicious at the South Carolina State Fair, Columbia, S. C.
With our 400 trees of Stark Red Delicious we have taken first
prize for four years in succession. This time we showed the
golden Delicious for the first time from our 65 trees, age three,
vears, taking first and second.
Mountain Home Orchards has 2,000 apple trees most of them
Red Delicious. It is my belief that the Delicious apple has the u
all beat when it comes to bearing and as a seller there is no u e
offering other varieties to the consumer as long as there is a b x
of Red'Delicious. , 1 wish to plant one acre of the Starking to be
able to put them on exhibit as I have the other Delicious. .
There has been thousands of Delicious trees planted in this
state caused by the showing that was made at the State Fair.
I suppose our State Horticulturist will send you statement as to
who gets the special premium. I am having some photos devel
oped that I will send you. (Signed.) SAM J. ISBELL, ..
