WAYNESVILLE, HAYWOOD COUNTY, NOB in UAiwua, iaU., TvuUluGi ITi i ' BOUGHT JUNALUSKA LOTS In spite of the loss of the largest hotel at Junaluska Lake, it is believed this will be a forward year for the Southern Assembly. During the week of the first big conference held re cently, four lota were sold. One of the purchasers is Bishop Darlington, of West Virginia, who will probably build a nice home there this fall. -A-home which wiB "paobabJy be built at the lake this fall on the -knob thi aide of Rev. George Stuart's is to cost about $12,000. The owner is Mr. Stockham, a Birmingham manufac utrer. ' ' ' For the first time the ground on this (south side) of the lake has been surveyed and lot staked. There are a number of prospective purchasers for lota on thia aide. A map and blue print has been made of the ground from the depot west to the golf links. The Sunday school convention hall was recently completed. This build ing .extends into the lake from the uW in front of College. Inn and is 60x120. There is a Sunday school conference -there 4his week.' SAYS NORTH WARD HAS MET APPORTIONMENT C. H. Ray, who 'is jjhairman of the W S. S. drive for tne norm wara oi w.r.vil1 townshlDi ' said last week that as he figured the popula tin. that ward had ..already sub scribed its quota.' He' estimates the population on the votes as follows: North ward voters 63J, south' ward iti 46. making an tetimated pop nation of the north wird 2,603 and south ward 8379. TM stamp allot ment f or the north w would thus be $52,070 and for thf south ward 17772 a total of $129,y42. Mr. Ray aavs the north ward has subscribed for $57,000 according tf his figures last week, which is in excess of the allotment. But Washington recognizes no ward lines. They expect the township as a whole to meet its apportionment and I DON'T WANT TO BE A SOLDIER IF THEY WON'T LET ME FIGHT (By Jesee Daniel Boone) I should like to be a soldier, if the'd let me go across, Where they're doing something; daily and where Pershing But in training camp cantonments it. is just a du ioo me, I would rather go to Europe and get in the bigger game. It's no fun to be a soldier, just to wear a uniform, When there isn't any fighting nor the promise of a storm; But it's grand to be a hero,, and it's fine to shoot a gun. So I hope the time will hasten, when I face the pesky hun. I have read the' pa'pira daily of the scraps across the sea, Until my blood is boiling, and I want to make this plea . To the men who give the orders for the sending of the troops, That I may be included; tor 1 want to ';foop the loops. I'm afraid it will be over 'ere I'm nt to do my bit. So I'm getting over-anxious w- anowm, n -n is the boss; For soldiers are for fighting, and not for simple show, So please to issue orders, go I may quicwy go. I 'want to whip German and. I. want to kill a Turk, To pay them in full measure for all their dirty work; aj fh- ..n.r I cet busy on the Job that waita me there, the south ward has not yet reacnea The utler r be suited, or l want to oo my "- itsquota. . Mr. Ray says he was amy assisieo in the canvass r?y jonn morrow, iMmr. and it filled me with delight; I was inriueu wim .u.v , - I don't want to be a soldier if they will not let me fight. PROCLAMATION BY MINISTERS Beintt deeply sensible of the de- ninrable lack of church attendance on tie part of many of the people of Waynes ville, and feeling a profound interest in the highest welfare oi our entire citizenship, we, the pastors of the several churches, would respect fully appeal to every man, woman iinH child within our borders to attend with greater regularity upon the services of his' church. It is a sad fact that only a small per cent of the population of our town attend divine sen-ices with any degree of regular ity. Church attendance is a duty ev ery one owes to himself and also to hiB God. We, owe it to ourselves be cause our higher natures require It; we owe it to our God because aa His creatures we are due Him the con stant adoration -Sftd worship of our hearts. We believe that God in His provi , t Oirlie Francis. Ratcliff Medford, David Felmet, Theo. McCracken, J F. Bass, James McLean, Princess Massey, C. A.

MRS. 1. M. BRAMLETT TO HELP LABOR PROBLEM SPELLING MATCH AT THE LAKE dence has permitted us as a people to become -involved in the great worm war because we have forgotten our duty of worshipping him, and that he . i l tills war is endeavoring vy - to bring us back to our duty to Him. We need not therefore expect the war to cease until we as a people have re pented -of our sins and returned to God in a truer devotion. True pa triotism and true religion are so inter-related that a man connot be loyal to his country in spirit without at the same time being spiritually loyal his God. And no one can be true to his God who habitually absents himself from the church of God, un less providentially hindered, mere fore your patriotism, if genuine, re quires your presence at church. . It is said by many that they cannot go to church because they are kept busy looking after the welfare of their visitors. We appreciate fully the desire of our people to show proper courtesy and hospitality to all who come within our gates; and yet r1 that the visitors to our city will be good enough to co-operate with their hosts in such a way as to require the least possible amount of work on Sunday, so that both hosts and visitors may attend the services f (. sanctuary. We would cordially invite all visl 4 t our hotels, boarding houses, and private homes not only to attend with regularity upon the services .f the church but also to do everything within'their power to make it p eai m. for. their hosts to attend, with Thua wt may eo-cpete in attaining a three-fold end, namely, that of looking to the interests of our nature, that of rendering proper devotion to God, and tluvt of helping the more quickly to bring poace to thia war-ridden world.

NAVY LEAGUE NOTES EFFORT TO MAKE ARMY HOSPITAL PERMANENT The business men of - Waynesville sent a committee of four of its lead ing business men to Washington the latter part of last week in an effort assure the permanency at tnis nlace of the Army Hospital. In case of nermanencv the government would then.no doubt purchase the &uipnur Sbrine-s nronerty and Smathers prop erty now leased. In addition they would probably also require ana acr quire the fair grounds adjoining as a recreation ground. . The purpose of the. committee was to see the two North Carolina sena tors. Congressmen Weaver and Kitch en and others in an effort to secure their co-operation with that part of thq war department having hospitals in charee. That they are working and nave accomplished something is evident from the following Washington dis- n.th in vesterdav's Asheville citi- jy""" r zen: Washineton. July 16. Hubert Mar tin, private secretary of Senator Lee .... i u:.- S. Overman, stated toaay inav m opinion the tubercular hospital at White Sulphur Springs, Waynesville, would be retained as a permanent in stitution by the war department. The Waynesville delegation consisting of Corporation Commissioner W. T. Lee, S. H. Bushnell. J. E. Carraway ana o. C. Satterthwait, was accompanied to the war department by Mr. Martin, Interviews were had with Col. Busn- nell and Gen. Noble. While no den nite .promise could be made they in dicated that contract had been let for the installation of a heating plant for the winter. This and other evidence caused the Waynesville delegation to gather that the hospital would remain at least for the duration oi tne wai. SUPERIOR COURT CASES The Junaluska chapter of the U Maw Leaeue celebrated the Fall of the Bastile Monday evening at the home of Miss Anna Glosser near Lake Junaluska. A detachment of the Armv Hospital from Waynesville gave a fitting tribute from Uncle Sam. A wonderful supper was servea on the lawn under the flags of the two nations. The Camp Fire Girls from th lake came over and music and songs were well rendered. When tne hour of departui-e, 10:30, came, tne b,ioi. that "O d Glory- was ready to protect the world was felt in each heart. Mrs. R. L. Allen, Mrs. W. L. Har din. Mrs. Palmer.

The rebuilding plan will probably provide for using the former base ment, which was largely wasted space, as the first floor lobby and dining room and to build of con crete, fire-proof.

The defendant is required to pay the plaintiff $337.50 and the costs in this action. The report of the grand jury fol lows: To the Honorable G. S. Ferguson, judge presiding: . We, the grand jury, respectfully submit the following report: We have carefully .examined all bills and indictments sent for our con sideration, and have continued such as could not be justly reported on owing to- lack of witnesses. We have visited and examined tne. county offices, and take pleasure in testifying to the cleanliness and neat ness of each. We find all records well kept and in good condition, and we have no criticism to offer. We find the court house to be in good condition. We visited and examined the coun ty jail and found the building in an unsafe condition. The foundation has given away on the lower side of the building, causing the wall to crack, brick to fall out, plaster to crack and fall in, doors to become unplumbed so they can not be shut, making plumbing almost impossible to keep repaired.. We recommend that the old jail be sold and the proceeds used for a new jail, a modern structure built on the court house lot at back of court house. We recommend that a few inexpen sive repairs be made to the old jail such as doors, windows and plumbing until a, new jail can be built. We have visited the county convict camp and have found everything in good order, the prisoners being well cared for. We have visited the county hoi..e, and find it in good condition. We find 25 inmates who seem to be properly cared for. We found the farm in a high state of cultivation. We further find two good mules, one two-horse wagon, 9 stacks of good wheat, 7 good cows and 7 calves, 8 head of one- and two-year-old cattle, about 150 bushels of corn, 14 acres of corn in cultivation, 1 acre in potatoes, 3 acres of oats, 13 head of good hogs, 1 brood sow and about, 400 pounds of good bacon, 10 tons of good hay.
