THE MOST DELIGHTFUL SUMMER
Resorts in America are in the
"Land of the Sky" Country,
Western North Carolina.

Asheville, N. c., more nearly than
any other city in America meets all
the requirements of a natural ~sanitar-
ium and health resort. For tempera-
ture and climate it is unrivaled. Mild
ness characterizes the atmosphere of
health at all seasons of the year. Its
hotels never close. Situated over
1000 feet above the sea level, the
Asheville Plateau possesses an atmos-
phere at once dry and bracing. Hills,
valleys, river and forest abound.
Near to Asheville, which is the cen,
ter of the beautiful Land of the Sky
country, are other resorts Of fame,
such as Hot Springs, Hendersonville,
Brevard, lovely Lake Toxawav, etc.
The Sapphire Country" as the dis
trict around Lake Toxaway and
Sapphire has come to be called, is
within a short ride Of Asheville. There
are lakes of wonderful beauty several
thousand feet above the sea.
The great natural beauty of the
Land Of the Sky" country has not
vet been married by the hand of man,
his only encroachment upon the sylvan
solitude having been the erection Of
splendid hotels on attractive sights
and the construction Of excellent car
rage roads upon which to reach them.

William Lowell Finley, in the
Country Calendar. She whirled
and sat on the nest edge. The

like a flicker, and braced herself
against the nest side. She craned
her neck and drew her dagger-like
bill straight up above the nest.
She plunged it down the baby's
throat to the hilt, and started a
series of gestures that seemed
fashioned to p%unctuate him to the

Drawing to a Close.

The fishing season of 1905 is nearing
its close, and by this time next week the
curtain will have dropped upon Fiao-
town. There we're two small lags OF
herring at the wharf this morning, but
the animation OF few days ago was
wanting. The failure OF the shad
fishery this spring has BEEN serious, and
those who invested in nets, boats, &c,
are profuse in suggesting reasons for the
appearance of but few shad 10 the rlver'
The same conditions, it will be remen-
bered, prevailed last year. The majority
are inclined to believe that trapnets IN
the bay and near the mouth of the river
prevent large numbers of these fish from
entering the river. Some think legislation
should be resorted to to prevent recur-
renee of the dearih of the past two year.
