C. as Second Class Mail Hatter, as provided under the Act of March 3rd, 1879, Nov. 20 1914. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18 1917 The weather lately has been just about perfect. If we don't get some coal in Waynes ville p. d. q. the situation will be bad indeed. , The State University this week celebrates its 123rd birthday. Gov. Bickett will be chief speak er. Waynesville is this week enter taining district meetings of both the Masonic and Odd Fellow fra ternities. We bid them welcome. This is the week for Haywood county to make a big noise in Raleigh and Atlanta at the State and Southeastern fairs. If we fail to do it, this will be the first time we have missed doing so. We have both the products and the men to show them up in a favorable light Heavy shipments of cattle, ap ples and Irish potatoes continue to go from this county and checks keep pouring into Ae banks and enriching our farmers. We have long known that Haywood is one of the best counties in the state and this is a good time of the year to realize it fully. We have much to be thankful for, friends. Next Monday at Clyde The American Shortuorn Breeders' Association will conduct an auc tion sale of 25 pure bred short horn cattle. This is a fine oppor tunity for cattlemen to get fine cattle at home and save much t'reitrht money with the added avdantage of seeing what they buy. The sale will occur at 1 p. m. The cattle are there ready for inspection. , ' o Bad roads and muddy roads are the most costly roads of all. They levy a continual heavy tax and no one reaps any real benefit and the only heritage they leave are bad tempers, worn out vehichles, crippled horses and automobiles fit for junk, while those who try to travel six months in winter season are nervous wrecks and often hospital victims. The best reads are the least txpensive. A good road may call for a big out lay but it is cheaper in the end. .- o ' SCEIIC WAYNESVILLE (By A Visitor From Kansas) Familiarity breeds indifference if not contempt. Ask an old-time citizen here to enumerate the as sets of this country and he will mention the fertile valley soil and fine farms, the beautiful houses and hotels, the tanning and tim ber industries and possibly the healthful climate, but as to the scenery why that's always been here, just that way. Yet to a newcomer, particular ly if from the plains, where the eye beholds only fields of corn, alfalfa, wheat or boundless pra rie, the mountain slopes in its present autumn grab of varied hue holds him spell bound. To him it is a scene of rapture, a panorama of endless and aes thetic beauty that appeals to the souL No artist so skilled that he could paint a picture its equal. The writer has seen the Rock ies and climbed Pike's Peak twice but while those mountains are stupendous and awe-inspiring,' ! tViov nro neither hpAutiful nor (clad witrrVerdurein the variegat ed tints of red, brown, yellow and green as are the entrancing hills that surround the charming city of Waynesville in the heart of the historic Blue Ridge. The summer tourist who turns home ward before October leaves be hind him unseen the rarest asset Add to nature's own design of harmonious blending of , colors beautiful Lake Junaluska and the stream of clear water hurrying over its rock-strewn bed" on its journey back to the sea and the picture becomes the more en trancing.

In such a heautv snot as Waynesville the heart should beat with gladness, the soul be edified and the-ppor be content in the mere joy of Hy ing. Where Nature rejoices man kind should sing in ecstacy. A mountain-was not made in a day a day of 24 hours. It re quires a day in Genesis, an age or eon (whatever that is J l tie formation of the Dlain might be delegated to subordinates but the owation of the mountain must have been thcdirect handiwork of the creator. The majestic is derivative only from Majesty. What was ages in the making now stands here for our enjoy merit and use. And at this time of year particularly, let us enjoy this scenery to the maximum degree. ulate the Mountaineer's last is sue.
