Rhe Color Of North Carolina and the Fieta

While standing on top of Lookout
mountain few days ago was carried
back 10 memories Of dear old Bill Nye,
for we had stood upon the same spot
together come years before, and q guide
then told us that we could see seven
states from that point Of view-viz.
Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky. North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama.
Where's North Carolinar' Nye in
qaired
The man pointed to particular place
IN the purple horizon.
"What makes You think that is North
Carolina?'' Nye asked.
"Oh, we know by the direction and
the conformation Of the mountains
there" the man replied
well, ! know that that Is not North
Carolina" Nye declared with some ve-
