A Big Job Well Done
Svivu and Jackson County did them
selves proud in entertaining the mem
bers ot the North Carolina Association
oi Chamber oi Commerce Executives
during their annual convention here this
week. The seventy-live or more men
and women from all parts of the State,
representing their local chambers of com
merce, were 100 per cent agreed that the
Sylva convention was the best planned,
arranged the most profitable from good
program standpoint they had ever
had, and that the entertainment
was the best of any of their
previous conventions. Each one
fully enjoyed every minute of their stay
here. They will carry a glowing mes
sage back to their home of the good time
they had in Sylva and of the fine hos
pitality extended them while here. When
thev think of Western North Carolina in
the future, Sylva will be the center of it.
- V/lnle the speakers on the different
programs had messages of particular in
terest to the commerce executives, it is
regrettable that more iaymen could not
have heard them. Each of the speakers
brought messages touching on subjects
of vital interest to every citizen, and wTe
expect to?see more done about some of
these things with the chamber execu
tives, working through and with the
members of their organizations.
We ieel that having had this conven
tion the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce will become more vitalized
from the enthusiasm exhibited by our
visitors and from the messages brought
by the speakers. Our local organization
shows that it can do things in a big way
by having made this convention such a
big success. The officials and directors
W.uh the cooperation of the business
people of the town did a splendid job
which shows the fine spirit of team-wort
and what can be accomplished when all
Robert Frank Jarrett
In the death of Robert Frank Jarrett,
Jackson County and Western North Car
olina, yes, even the entire State, have
lost one of their most versatile and philan
thropic citizens, and those who have fre
quented the Jarrett Springs hotel of Dills
boro for the past years, whether he be
traveling salesman, or tourist, will miss
the man who always greeted them with
a genial handshake, a cheery smile, and
a witty word of welcome. Mr. Jarrett
was a man of manv talents, and he used
these talents because they were a pleas
ure to himself ana a beneut to his friends
and neighbors. Those wiio have read his
poems, heard or sung his music, and
listened to las quotations irom some of
me best authors, wili aiwuvs remember'
him ior the sincerity or men* expressions.
Air. Jarrett was not only an author,
poet and son*; writer, bui a Keen business
man. In hi.-, business dealings he has

Felix Picklesimer deserves much credit
for his untiring efforts in directing plans
for this convention.
We feel that having had this conven

come with it will be worth many times
what it cost. Sylva and Jackson county
were most favorably advertised.

TREES HAVE A LIFE CYCLE
Because trees are plants, they
are born, they live and grow, and
finally they die, .just as ail living
things do. Good l'o.-est management
provides for harvests before the
infirmities of eld age rob trees of
their usefulness. It also provides
that, when older trees are cut, new
trees will grow in their stead. Thus
j forest land can be kept at peak
| productivity.
