"THE SUMMER
TAL OF
Dr. Thomas NV Iyey, that
golden hearted gentleman and
gifted editor who went from us
a f ewyears ago gave to Lake
Junaluska the name "Summer
Captital of Methodism." The
name was eminently appro
priate and it stuck.
Around about this Southern
Assembly stand the mountain
peaks like sentinels to guard
the treasures, that abound.
And it is a treasure land where
1, abound the true riches. Na
ture has enthroned beauty and
man has determined that only
r the fine and best things of life
: shall find a dwelling place in
' Lake Junaluska. Even the wa
.; ters of the lake speak the lan
guage of beauty. In fact that
lake which glitters like a huge
diamond in the noon-day sun
and over whose waters a veil
of mist hangs in the morning
and the shadows play in the
evening is in itself enough to
set the muses 'to singing. ""
The words of the Prophet E
zekiel have been fulfilled at
this mountain lake. Listen ; to
'thafancient seer in Holy Writ:
And it shall come to pass tha.t
the fishers shall stand upon it.
-their kind, as the fish of the
great sea, exceeding many."
But the lake is only one of
the1 many attractive features of
this Summer Assembly. Where
nature was prodigal in its gifts
the founders and builders of
Lake Junaluska were men of
splendid jisfpn. Their plans
from the first were to build on
a large scale. This led them at
the very outset to secure 1,300
acrc(j of land so that there
mjght Jnever be any lack of
room. And in this they were
wise. -
While not all has been ac
complished that these leaders
desired a n d their names
make a roll of honor much
' c has been accomplished. The
' great dam was built, the spa
: cious - auditorium , e re c t e d,
. . streets and ""side walks and
drives laid out and completed.
hotels constructed, and sundry
voth e r jf deyelopnients made.
Lake Junaluska has one of the
finest golf courses in the coun
try. - Li ,a rword , the present
holdings of the Lake Jurialuska
Company at low.: figures a-
f mount to $1,500,000 and some

very large number of. summer

ple of the South. Lake Juna

oi tnose wno ma&e n. tpeir
summer home, but from the
viewpoint of numbers is becom
ing one of the most, attractive
places in the North Carolina
mountains.
But there renfaina upon this
property an indebtedness of ap
proximately $300,000. The
interest on this debt amount to
$18,000 annually and added to
this is $3,000 for taxes. These
two items make an annual
drain of $21,000 upon the in
come. The plan at present is
to get rid of these two heavy
drafts upon the resources of
the Assembly by selling enough
of theland to pay the debt and
then turn the whole enterprise
over to thefChurch. There re
maiija about 700 acres -of land
for sale, or more than one-half
of .the original tract. These
700 acres can be sold, at .very
lbflgures ta Wdet' secure
enough money to pay toff Call
indebtedness on the property
and this is just what the man
agement, proposes to do and
let those who buy the land
reap any profits, that may ac
crue from the purchase of these
lands at marvelously low fig-
ures. . The supreme object just
now is to get rid of the debt.
With the property free from
debt and, released from the
payment of interest and taxes,
there will be ample f undtVeven
with the present annual income
to make needed improvements
upon the property and to pro
vide funds that are necessary
to secure the finest talent Of
the world for the Lake Juna
luska platform. Bui ' with an
enlargement of the community
and the. increase of visitors that
would result from the presence
of the world's best musical tal
ent and popular lecturers and
entertainers the annual income
Would- be sori increased that
Lake Junaluska could offer a
program, equal to that of the
Northfield Bible School, Ocean

TUBERCULIN TEST
ING OF CATTLE IN
MADISON CO.
Should be done, because:
(1) It is the only way of pro
tecting our babies against bo
vine tuberculosis.
- 2) It is humane to eliminate
all sick animals and protect the
balance of the herd, Which is
also good economy.
(3),. Medical men such as
Mayor- Buhdeson, Copeland,
and many others of inteftia
tional reputation heartily en
dorse the work.
(4) More than three-fourths
of a million cattle are tested on
an average each mbnth in the
U. S.
(5) In North Carolina, 68
counties have finished this
work and 17 are now working,
making a total of 85 counties
out of 100 that have the work
done or under progress.
(6) Surely our babies are
worth as much and just as dear
to us in Madison County as
those of the balance of the
state, why not give them the
same protection.
THE SALVATION
ARM IN ACTION
Last Sunday mornnig we saw
the Salvation Army in action on
the public: square of , Greens

mental and vocal, was very
fine. Cornets have taken the
place of tambourine and the
yo&es-of: the. Salvation Army

the golden notes of the instru

ThelBalvation Army has a-
opted a new method of taking

Was to pass around the tam
