N C. hosts and honoree those present were: .lames Gresham Northcott, Mr. and Mrs. Dempsey Whitaker, Minnie and myself. Renne was in a very gay mood and kept every one laughing at her bright comedy and cute sayings. Gresham took pictures of one and all. much to the satisfaction of Renne for she loves to pose. When the delicious meal was over a lovely cake was put before the honoree and she blew out the two candles with a mighty blast, everyone sang "Hap py Birthday" and Renne cheered enthusiastically. Later w’e took Renne to the home of Clyde Gray for a long visit. Shreven Lee Gray is pretty close to her age, and these two love each other very much, they had their picture taken together. Shreven shared her toys with Renne, and they spent long periods just embracing each other. Saturday afternoon Shirley Watts and Betty Jean Shook had supper with us. We ate early, loaded into the Chevrolet, and started toward the headwaters of Big Ivy to sing at a revival that is in progress at Carson's Chapel. This lovely little church is pastored by my friend, the Rev. .Jack Wright. He had asked us to come, but this was not the first time that we had basked in the friendliness of these good people. We were en thralled by the beauty of the countryside. You folks that have not seen the mountains in early spring are really missing some thing. Down toward Asheville the service trees were peeping from the cool coves, like shy moutain girls in simple white dresses, and all along the road was the beau tiful early-blooming thrift. Shirley (bless her heart) did all the driv ing. the rest of us simply reveled in the scenery. From Weaverville to BarnardsviUe is enough to drive a landscape artist mad with ecst asy. One gets brief glimpes of little hidden valleys, lush with the first greenery, with a weath ered mountain home seeming to grow from the earth Stooping around the eves will be great cherry trees bursting into full bloom. These gnarled old trees seem to be reminiscing about the great days of the past. Always there is the wooded hills in the background, and all around the home is the luxuriant shrubbery and early flowers that only the loving green-fingers of a moutain mother can produce.

What a truly gay setting for family life! The plan is split-level, but actually with three levels. First level is the cellar, where the heating equipment is located, laundry and re creation room. A short flight up leads to living, dining rooms and kitchen. Another short flight up brings you to the bedrooms. All told there are three bedrooms and a study, which can also be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired. There are two full baths to serve the family, and a full dining room in addition to extra breakfast space in the un usually large kitchen. There’s space for everyone and everything in this excellent plan, space for work and play and just ordinary living.

We had exclaimed over the pleasant scenes until we were just about tuckered out when we reached Bamards ville. As Shirley drove us on above th enchanting camp ground on Big Creek, the handsome young men along the way would wave gallantly at the girls. Then we went away up stony Fork. We noticed a gaunt hound shivering patiently at the back door of a cabin waiting for his evening meal, and a woman shaking out her milk straining cloth and hang ing it up to sweeten in the brisk mountain air. I pointed out to the girls a barn-gate where 1 kissed a dark-eyed lassie many years ago, and told of how I used to ride horseback along these roads. And there were the remains of the old mill wheel where Cling Hensley's gristmill and store used to stand. My brother and I used to stop there to try to get a horse trade with the shrewd-eyed hill men. Ah, yes! the memories on Big Ivy are very dear to me, but so many of my old friends are gone.

DIAL 3141 305 \V. STATE BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C. I quaintness about this community that we have lost over here. Before we went to church we did see two dear friends, Mrs. Vertie Walker, who did so much to brighten my boyhood, and Luther Carson, who used to play the fiddle and dance at the rural gatherings. He says that he can still "shake a leg”, although he is 75. We had a long and pleasant talk about old times, friends, and' places with these beloved folks. At last we went on to the sweet little country church where Min nie and I sang some old gospel songs with Betty Jean playing the piano. We sat through an inspir ing sermon delivered by the Rev. Mr. Jackson, and rejoiced with the gentle folks when two girls gave their hearts to the Saviour. At last, after shaking hands with all the good people, Shirley turned the car homeward, rushing fluidly through the cold night. We stopped briefly by the wayside for hamburgers and cokes, and so to the end of a delightful trip. We had Sunday dinner with Mrs. Mae Burnette. We always en joy visiting with Mae. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Claude McAfee. The W.M.U. Circle of the Lake wood Baptist church will meet with Mrs. Mae Burnette of the Toll road this Friday night at 7:30. Minnie will serve as co-hostess with Mae, and Mrs. Garrison will bring the program. We had the exquisite pleasure, of attending open house at the new ! educational building of the Meth odist church Sunday afternoon. We wanted to see this for it was de signed by our friend. Bob Orr. It is impossible to describe the beautiful detail of this building, with the perfect floors, matching furniture, and lovely color har mony. You just have to see it to appreciate it. The room that wo liked best was the Crusaders’ room upstairs, but the rooms for the smaller children were just darling. When we entered the building a long line of genial folk were ready to greet us with a friendly handclaps. It had never occurred to us that we knew so many nice people in the Methodist church. We went all around the line and ended up at the refreshment table. We have seldom felt so welcome in a place. It is wonderful indeed that this fine edifice is being built in Black Mountain, but it is thi group of genteel, upright people that speaks so well of the town. They are not trying to be elite, they are genuine, sincere, down to earth folks, and in closing this column I will say that wc love them every one.

This novel is laid in ancient Ireland between the 9th and 10th centuries, when petty kings ruled ruthlessly, fought each other as well as the invading Danes. The love story centers around Sion na. the daughter of a king, and Niall Blackknee, a great fighting man of noble birth, but with no bride-price to pay for a princess. The vivid background of the times is as interesting as the tale itself. There was actual luxury in some castles, but among most of the people it was biting poverty. The tenor of invasion by the Danes, the ugly barbarism in warfare, all l e side by side with deeds of heroism, devotion, and sacrifice. BIBLE CLASS MEETS The King’s Daughters Bible class of the Asheville Gospel Tab ernacle met for their regular monthly social and business meet ing last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Grady Wainscott in Grove mont. with 15 members present.
