Between the breakfast and dinner
The resorters grumble and glover
Over part of their days occupation
That they call the postcard hour.
Sit down with their pens and ink
And scribble their friends addresses
And ponder and think and think.
They write of the flckle weather,
They mark where their windows at,
They scribble across landscape
fright here Is the spot we sal"
And postcards with helpful poems
And postcards with oozy rhyme
And postcards with gushy legends
They stamp with an air sublime.
They send them by north and southwark
They send them by east and west,
They send them to friends and strangers
BY hundreds they are addressed.
And some are from wives to husbands
They read: Don't forget the check;
And some are from parted sweethearts-
OF KS they bear q peck.
And o, when the hour IL ended
There rises a wholesale sigh
That tells how the gay resorters
Are glad that the hour Is by.
Between the breakfast and dinner
They scribble with all their power
| In that part of the days occupation
They know as the postcard hour.

Rnrs Iot Number Thirteen

Mr.. Giles L. Wilson, of Spartan
burg, a national bank examiner VINO
ia spending a few days in Henderson
vile. at Laurel Park Retreat, has
bought Let number thirteen in the
Laurel Park residence subdivision.
Mr.. Wilson it is, in whose life the
number thirteen has been pleasantly
associated with many of the most inn
.portant incidents of his career. An
account of some of these incidents
appeared in a recent issue Of the
Daily Herald attracted attention here
and has since been widely copied by
the press of the South.
Almost from Mr.. Wilson's first ex-
~ploration of Laurel Park he was at
traeted to n certain lot in the es-
tate-not particularly more desirable
than any one of the others remaining
IN the subdivision. and notin anyway
more likely t.. attract his attention.
Bat this one certain lot invited his
attention, his thoughts. his desires
and he seTic1sly began to consider
buying it.
One evening Mr.. Wilson spoke to
Mr.. w. A Smith about the site he
had in r for a sumemr home. To-
gether they consulted the large map
of Laurel Park Estate and both were
almost startled to find that it was
Lot No. Thirteen!
When this numbers connection
with Mr.. Wilson life at almost every
turn is considerd, that he should
select lot number thirteen from
among many. equally as desirable is
really a remarkable coincidence and
one hard to explain. 1t will be in
~teresting to note if. in the fullness of
time, Mr.. Wilson sells the home site
he new owns in the most beautiful
natural park in America for a great
.Iy increased sum-say thirteen hum
bred dollars. Or possibly he may
find a gold mine there or something
like that. At all events he he.
bought the lot. No doubt that of

North Carolina has harbored many
persons of ingenuity, but never has
the rare quarlity Of the investiye
ability OF her sons been shown to
better effect than in a recent final
settlement of an estate in Raleigh,
an account of which appeared in the
Birmingham News not long ago.
The administrators in the case was
a young lawyer, who probably learn
ed his profession beneath the elms of
Carolina CIR the water oaks of old
Wake. He had exercised great care
in the conduct of the affairs of the
estate. His report was approved,
until the Judge came. across this
item, ITO one snorer $751;
The court paused and desired to
know what a "snorer" was and what
en- earth an administrator would be
buying one for.The attorneys for the
heir also arose and clamored to
know about the snorer item
Whereupon the young lawyer ex-
planned to the court that the de-
ceased was much addicted to the
habit of snoring and that after his
death the disconsolate widow found
it wholly impossible to sleep in the
dead silence that followed the exit
of her husband from this life. In the
absence of sleep her health began
to give way and she would have

The court and the ether lawyers
agreed that he was right. The
youthful attorney got his fat fee,
which he probably used for an ex-
citing vacation in Hamlet or High.

loudly Of the fame c Laurel Park,
that nine-tentns Of the visitors to
Hendersonville visit Laurel Park at

daily.
The Swiss Railway in the Park, at
the present terminus of the Laurel

first being Crystal Springs.
The numbers of passengers carried
daily by the incline average some
thing like three hundred-and they
are universally out-spoken in their
admiration of that superb panorama
Witnessed from the summit of Echo
Mountain and the end of the railway.
They see before them, spread on q
