nThe Land of The skv.D

"The Land of the Sky" in Western North Carolina, between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Iron and Unaka ranges of Eastern Tennessee, is at its lowest point more than two thousand feet above the level of the sea; it Is situated in the most favored portion of the temperate zone, trav- ersed by splendid rivers and dotted with beautiful lakes.
 From the moment the traveller en- ters this region until duty forces him to leave 1t, nothing that is unpleasing greets his eye. The charm of this land is real; Its delights an actuality.
 Asheville is the central city of this favored region; 1t has several large and fine hotels, and is a town of com mercial importance. The season at Asheville Is always, its hotels never closed and the visitor is made welcome. At all times we find Asheville a pleas ant spot. full of life. of color and of enjoyment, rich with possibilities. for health and recreation. The drives around Ask<welle are unexcelled for the lovely viS@D they afford. Horseback riding is in great favor and bicycling and automobilinga are popular.
 In arranging a summer trip, how ever. the Sapphire country should not be overlooked; 1t is one of the most delightful in all this vast area of hill and dale, field and forest, taking in Lake Toxaway, Fairfield and Sapphire. The physical contour of this region is strikingly similar to the English lake district. but is as a whole grander in every way. Its mountains are more than twice the height of their English compeers; its torrents more impressive its lakes bluer and more picturesque.
 This beautiful region is only one nights ride from Montgomery. Two trains daily; fast service; excursion rates. Call on the Agents of the Southern Railway for complete infor- nation. adv-tf

TWO WERE LEFT BEHIND
Sad Plight Of Two Girl Pupils, visitors
at Montpelier.

a pilgrimage Of teachers and pupils
to the state capitol Wednesday resulted
disastrously for two Of the pupils girls
of about IL years OF age-who were left
behind when the party started for home.
The party landed at the Central Vermont
station in Montpelier, but the start home
was made from the Wells River station,
a fact the two girls did not know until
they had waited some time at the Gem
trail station. They hastened to the Wells
River station, but the train had depart.
ed Their plight was deplorabe. They
were in a strange city without money or
acquaintance and with no possible way
of returning home until the next day
While weeping over their fate they we're
discovered BY Miss Maud Ayers OF this
city and she took them home with her
for the night, but they were very much
pert,ubed until started on their way
home yesterday morning.
From what could be learned from the
girls the principal who had them in
charge was 50 much devoted to some Of
the older members Of the party he failed
To exercise the proper oversight OF all
his flock, and went home not knowing
whether they were al with him OF not.

the Home of Barney Malone, where the
Donald boy lived, to visit him. The
boys started, as Mr.. Malone's people
supposed, for the Collins house to eat
Thanksgiving dinner. Supposing they
were still there no inquiry was made
until Sunday, when it was found that
both boys were missing. 1t was at
first supposed they had gone away to-
gether but in the course OF the search
a visit was made to the river, where the
hats Of the two boys were found on
the bank near the house Of j. Sturgess.
A search Of the river was commenced,
and today the bodies were found about
FIVE rods blow where they had broken
through the ice on the stream.
The Donald boy had been adopted BY
Mr. Malone's people, having come from

cent Republican caucus in that town.

Mr. Buliard of Burlington said that the
