It is a pleasure to call attention
to the advertisement of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. The State
greatly needs industrially trained
men, and the college is rapidly
helping to supply this need: It's
graduates are busy and success
full in many lines. Many of our
farms show the practical value
of their training. The railroads,
public highways, drawing rooms
and shipbuilding plants call on
the College for civil engineers.
Our lighting and water plants
and machine shops are being
manned by its graduates. Not a
few of it's men are experimenting
or managing cotton mills and
Lighthouses. It's chemists are tax
ing high rank in experiment sta
tons, industrial plants and de-
partments of agriculture. Our
young men cannot do better than
than fit themselves for their yo-
cations at the same time that they
are being educated

Mr.. C. E, Wilson,
My Dear Sir: You will see
by the heading of this letter that
I am once more at home, in the
City meath the hills. It is not
often that one sees or hears of a
person having visited the Land
of the Sky and then returning
again to terra frma, but I assure
you | am a living example. And
l wish from my lowly station to
send a message to you on high,
of my great pleasure whilst So
journing with the Celestials.
I do wish to express to you the
high appreciation of myself. Mr..
and Mrs. Trevis; and Mrs. Still
hammer, for your many, many,
kindnesses shown US while on
our visit to Hendersonville among
strangers, and in sore need of
such help as was extended to us.
l don't believe | ever met more
kindly and pleasant lot of people
in my life than I found in your
beautiful Land of the Sky"
Why is itthat you especially, and
also your good wife, have so
much of the milk of human kind
ness stored away inyour hearts,
is it because you are living at
such an altitude that you are
uearer the great dispenser of
all good things, that you have
imbibed more of love Of your
fellow man, than we poor NOR
tails of earth. / assure you that
if all the people of your lovely
City are like you and yours,
Hendersonville will not long re-
main city Of 1000 inhabitants,
but it would grow to monstrous
proportions in a short space of
time. Should you ever visit my
City meath the hills the key to
same shall be delivered over to
you, if l have to buy, beg or
steal it. If l never meet you
again, (Which I sincerely hope
will not be the case) I will still
profit very much for having met
one of Gods noble, big hearted
men. Now with best wishes for
you and your good wife's future
| beg to remain.
Yours truly,
S. J. BEAR.
