$4,000 Acres of Land i'm Graham
and Clay Counties.
News is given out in Washington
that the Treasury Department has
turned over to the Department of Ag-
riculture $4,000 acres of government
land in Graham and Clay Counties,
North Carolina, for the Appalachian
Park.
Nearly forty years ago the tract Of
land donated to the forest reserve
was forfeited to the government. BY
a recent act of Congress the Treas
ury Department was authorized to
transfer it to the Department of Ag-
riculture.
Added to what the Appalachian
Park Commission has contracted for,
this makes total of $500 acres in
North Carolina for the reservation.
Government engineers are now on
their way to survey the Graham and
Clay County lands and mark out the
boundary lines. The land will imme-
diately be put under the administra-
tion of the Rorest Reserve.

no wedding in recent years has at
tracted so mingled an assemblage as
that of Miss Jennie Crocker, of the
wealthy California family, to Malcolm
D. Whitman, solemnized in the church
of St. Matthew here toady. Two
weeks ago special police were en-
ployed to guard the vast Croker es-
tate against the throng that would wit
ness the wedding, for the nuptials'
have been the chief topic in social
circles for the past three months.
Miss Crocker, who is worth several
millions in her own right, is popular
in the East, as well as in the West
and is noted as a golf player. To-
days gathering included society from
East, North and South, to say nothing
of curious country folk and a few
criminals, who wera the subject of at
tention from the police.
This evening the Croker estate
will be the scene of a brilliant recep-
ton and again the trustees of the es
tate have provided corps of private
detectives and special policemen tc
guard the interests of the bridal cou
pie and their guests.
1t is estimated conservatively the
presents of the bride exceed million
dollars in value, for she is connected
both by ties of blood and marriage
with some of the richest families II
