(Asheville Citizen, Asheville, N. o.
The mountains of Western North Carolina
have indeed been refuge this summer,
From every state south of Maryland and east
of Ohio the tourists have poured by the
thousands, and to-day the counties west OF
the Blue Ridge in North Carolina are thronged
with visitors who have fed from the torrid
rays of the sun in the home land to the
shades of these great mountains.
The cooling waters of the French Broad
swannanoa, Davidson and Mills rivers, the
Pigeon. the Tuckaseege, the Tennessee
Hiwassee, Nantahala, Toe, Cane and other
rivers and creeks have been sought by the
invalid the pleasure-seeker and the sports
man, and from the Blue Ridge to Smoky
Mountains every mountain glen, and gorge
and valley, and country side has been filled
with those looking for cooler spot, deeper
shadow.
And none have been disappointed. There
has not been u night this summer, between
Mitchells Peak and Chunky Gal, when sleeI

1t seems safe to say that between Is. 900 and

still they come. And this throng increases
