Variety Vacationlanci resi dents can truthfully boast of a myriad of areas that are delightfully pleasant, scenic wise and climate-wise, through out the four seasons. Just recently the family and I examined the road map, filled the car with gasoline, and drove over to a town which clearly falls into the above classification. What a pleasant week end we had! Situated in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains, just a couple miles north of the neighboring South Carolina border, is the village of Tryon. Although minor in terms of population (about 3000), the general Tryon area offers ma jor rewards to the winter tourist-vacaticner. Tryon lies within the in fluence of the famous Thermal Belt and is sheltered on the north and west by high moun tains. It is open on the south and east to the warm south ern breezes — all of which add up to notably mild winters. The village was named for Tryon Mountain which bears Bulwark of Freedom Every man believes in something! He has a creed — a ’’belief.” He may find its ex pression in "isms,” political theories, or what not. He seeks an answer to the question, "What is Life’s Purpose?” Christianity gives that answer. It has stood for 2,000 years when all other ‘'isms” and beliefs have fallen by the wayside. Episcopalians, too, have a creed. They follow the belief of the Ancient Church which is based on the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. Both start, “I believe in God." The Episcopal Church is a “believing” church — believing in God the Fa ther, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, one God — believing that Jesus Christ came to earth to save man from himself, and to establish a divine society in which all men are brothers. This belief is the militant spirit of Christian ity which can defeat Communism — and can de feat any other “ism” which threatens our God given freedom, and is the answer to man’s eter nal question, “What is life’s purpose?” Won’t you join us today in reaffirming our belief in God in the Episcopal Church near you?

My commission expires 9-20-62. Madge W. Runion, Notary Public. the surname of William Tryon, British Governor of the Colony of North Carolina in 1765. Its history as a year-around resort dates back to the 1870’s when its beauty and climate first received deserved atten tion. Subsequently, it became one of the more prominent Gay Nineties resorts and has continued i n popularity through the present day. As for things to do and see, they are numerous and varied. We first enjoyed several hours’ driving through the section, viewing the historical homes, mountain peaks, and fertile lands. We learned that some of the more pic turesque homes date back to the 1700's and that a number of county residents live on lands that have been in the family since granted by a deed from the King of England. We viewed the mountain sides dotted with vineyards which, according to local res idents, produce grapes un equalled in flavor even in Italy. At several points we observed natives fashioning baskets, rugs, homespuns, pot tery. and other handicraft. Shops, in which this work is also carried on, display their products in profusion. The golfing devotee will enjoy the Tryon Country club course at an altitude of 1500 feet. Here’s one course where it’s invariably rewarding to “take your eye off the ball” for in so doing you will catch scenes of unsurpassed beauty. For the horse fancier this area is of unusual interest. Here is the home of the na tionally-known Tryon Riding and Hunt club, organized in 1928 to further equestrian sports. Tlie riding enthusiast may enjoy miles of marked bridle paths and drives lead ing up the valleys and moun tains, providing breathtaking views of waterfalls and giant white pines, boxwoods, spruce, and red-berried holly which reach the peak of splendor during the winter months. A fine pack of hounds is also maintained for fox hunting over a large area. You will be pleased, as we were, with the numerous modern accommodations and tables famous for southern food. Operators here are skilled in providing the small extras to suit the individual guest. Readily accessible from all sections of Variety Vacation land for a week end or longer, Tryon will please the most discriminating. Try Tryon!

Altrough Mrs. W. W. Hall had a long period of ill health, I can remember when she was one of the most faithful atten dants of the First Baptist Church, in fact, I believe she was made a deaconess or “lady deacon” during the partorate of the Rev. Ottis Hagler. She had a pleasant personality, and I shall remember her with af fection and respect. I want to extend sympathy to her family. Also George Taylor will be greatly missed in the commun ity. His big frame carried a big heart and he was the es sence of friendliness. Up un til a few years back, he oper ated the only grist mill around in the community. It seems such a short time since Papa would say, “All right, son, I’ve saved out some good bread corn. Let’s shell enough for a ‘turn’ of meal, and then I want you to take me over to George Taylor’s.” On our way out Cragmont Road and prior to turning down the dirt lane that led to the Taylor mill and home, Pa pa would depreciate the fact that mills had to be operated by gasoline motors rather than water power. “There’s nothing like water ground meal”, he said. “You don’t get the meal fine or too coarse, and you don’t burn it up while you are at it. George is a good miller though. I just wish he had a water mill.” I loved the smell of the new ground meal and the friendli ness of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. Going to their mill was an oc casion. The Muser extends his sym pathy to the widow and child ren. Uo 1 Kemember Jeff Silvers.' A tall attractive young lady walked up to me at Old Fort awhile back. She smiled plea santly, and I smiled back. “Jeff Silvers said for me to ask if you remember him,” she said. Do I remember Jeff Sil vers? I remember him and his family happily and well. My first acquaintance was through the two daughters that I taught that memorable first year of teaching. Then I met others of the family through the First Baptist Church. This was a large and happy family blessed with under standing parents and a plet hora of pretty daughters. (No reflection Jack, you were small then). The Silvers liv ed in what we all called the old Mount Mitchell Inn. This house was a large rambling ed ifice on the Montreat Road and was ideal for a large fam ily. It was also ideal for B.T. U. parties and socials. The Silvers had the first player piano I ever saw; the most com monly played number was Mary Lou. Later the Silvers moved to the old Shannon house near the golf course and became neigh bors of my parents. We used to like for Mrs. Silvers, who had been an Allen before mar riage, to come and sit a spell. She was a proficient conversa tionalist, and we liked to hear her talk of her home commun ity of Pensacola “overhome.” The Silvers were liked and respected, and we were sorry when they moved to McDowell County. Yes, I do remember Jeff Silvers and his family, and if I ever get out Moffitt Hill way, maybe we can “set a spell” and remember together. “Nor Rain, nor Hail”: One of the overlooked bles sings, often, is the U. S. mail. I was so pleased to hear from my respected friend, J. P. Parker. He, too, had no ticed the lonely chimney and had written a beautiful poem about it a tong time ago. James Peale Parker writes poetry, and the Muser’s feeble efforts are puny in compari I son. With his permission, 1 I would like to use his poem in the column sometime. I know my Readers would enjoy it. How about it, Mr. Parker? I am flattered that Mr. Park er is numbered among my Readers,, and I’m glad we shar ed a sentiment. Now I want to talk about the Editor’s mail. It was good to see a communication from Addie Powers McHone of Ha zelwood, a “native daughter of North Fork.” I used to like to talk to “Miss Addie” at the North Fork Homecomings and even tease her a little about her “boy-friend” of long ago on North Fork. She could al ways out-tease us though; the North Fork people have always been masters of that gentle art. The Powers family was outstanding during the pioneer days on North Fork. Many of the men-folks later became identified with law enforce ment work. In George McCoys recent account of the Buncombe Rough’s of the Confederate Army he mentioned that a Riley Powers of Buncombe was detached to serve aboard the famous Mcrrimac, the iron-clad the Confederates hoped would break the Union blockade. I wonder if Riley Powers were related to Jesse and William Powers of old North Fork. I’m glad Robert R. Hub ner is renewing his subscrip tion. I have wondered many times how he got started read ing the News: I am glad he did. R. R. Hubner has been a source of encourage ment and inspiration to me during my tenure with the News, and I’m sure he has been likewise to others. Then I hope we can make a good impression on folks who are considering Black Mountain as a place to live. It is rather amazing how one feels “acquainted” with a place after reading its news paper for awhile. Stick In There, Roy! I was sorry to see where Roy Moore had sustained a stroke. During the Roaring Twenties, Roy was account ed to be one of the finest catchers in all these parts. He was outstanding in an ath letic family that is a local legend. I remember him as a well proportioned, handsome athlete, and I wish him a re turn to health. Take Care: The fact that my voice and that of my son sound quite a bit alike, especially on the telephone, could lead to an interesting situation (I fought a temptation to use the contre temps) . Bobby was talking along gaily to a caller the other evening only to be jarred by the statement of the afore said caller that the caller’s wife enjoyed his poetry. “You must want to talk to Daddy,” Bobby gulped. I’m glad that I got to talk to you, Roy, and I’m glad that YOUR wife likes My poetry. Meanwhile, when you folks warn Busy acres mean BUSY PEOPLE Idle lands bring no income, create no jobs. BUSY ACRES bring better living Put your loafing lands to work growing trees! call No. 9-8522 use proper discreation. Tarnished Coins Glinting dully in the sunlight, Touched by errant beams, A handful of cherished coins A symbol of foolish dreams. The coin of fame is fleeting And triumpts tainted with blood, The coin of faithless friend ship Rings with a hollow thud. The coin of jealousy glitters Shines with a greenish glow. The coin of hatred glowers At the thought of a fearful blow. These old coins are tar nished. I must throw them all away. They could never purchase What I would have today. I would have true friends, And these you cannot buy. When the battle is in the balance, True friends do not fly. I would have great love Unstinted, pure and free If I could have these things, I’d be rich eternally. G. T. SHIPMAN WELL DRILLING & BORING CONTRACTOR Marion, N.
