An invitation for this school was

CIVIC PRIDE AND WORK.

We are glad TO note that the ladies
OF the Civic League Of Walhalla have
again. taken steps toward activity in
matters pertaining 10 local improve
mCnt. \ meeting was held last week
at the Court House, and while there
there Is room for hope that much
good will be accomplished. Certain
~ this will be the result if the ladies
arc given that support and encour-
agcmcnt that they deserve to receive.
The League has accomplished no lit
tie in the past, and there Is Il much
greater field Of opportunity open to
them now than for some time past.
We arc still Of the opinion, here
tofOrc expressed through these col
umns, that we MUST progress now
or go backward. We havo stood
still as long as it is possible to do so
without very serious results. If in
deed we have not already been over
taken by some Of the detcriora ting
effects Of inactivity.
The purposes for which the ladies
OF the Civic League stand are wor-
thy Of the support OF every live citi-
zen Of the town, and we have the
assurance OF Mayor Brown that he is
fully in sympathy with tho Civic
League and will do all in his power
to help any worthy enterprise that
the ladies may launch. With that
assurancc--and taking it for granted
that the citizens OF the town will do
their part in such mattcrs--therc is
no question but that the Civic League
has great opportunity now to take
up the work that has been practically

should then rally to their support
and sec that no good work under
taken is allowed to lag.
And while the ladies are organiz-
Ing again for the promotion Of Wal
halla'S interests, what are the men
doing? What has become Of the
business Mems League? Have we
forgotten so soon that. within a few
short months Of real activity, that
organization did great and good work
for Walhalla? Or are we satisfied
with what has already been accom-
pllShcd? We have reason to be
Er0litiCd at the results that have
been attained through the medium
OF the business Mems League. but
there is no place in the work OF an
organization OF this kind for such a
degree OF satisfaction as to result in
a cessation Of activity
Let MS get together again with a
view to doing some great work this
year. How many have sufficient in

Whose luuowi "a. k5irnGnh.
Ashevillc, \. G. May l3.-It is a
rather weird story that comes from
the western part Of the State, brought
by one OF the leading business men
OF Andrews. Cherokee county, in
which brother and sister, of that
place, buried, they thought the body
OF their sister and mOU'ned her
death, but later found that their sis
ter was alive.
William Oliver lived in Andrews
with his sisters. Annie and Della.
The story is that Annie Oliver left
Andrews about six months ago and
came to Ashcville and stayed here
for several weeks. After she left
Ashcvllc her brother and sister lost
track Of her.
About two weeks ago Il strange
woman committed suicide in Char
lottc. There was travelling sales
man in Charlotte at the time who
knew William Oliver and also knew
that his sister had LEFT Andrews. He
went to look at the suicide and was
shown letter which was found on
the suicide or with her effects. This
letter was addressed to Annie Oliver.

to William Oliver that he was con
vmccd that the suicide was his sis
ter.

there were numerous relatives and

count OF the family's aversion to
look on the faces Of their dead. Be

better not be opened as thc face OF
the corpse was diStigured about the

OF the poison which had been taken.

PRAISES lUSE LAND COMPANY

In describing the Rose Carnival,
which is an annual event at Portland,
Ore, z. G. Thuerwachter, who re-
rned Monday with his wife from
Soltherin, said that it was the most
beautiful spectacle he had ever seen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thuer xachter were
among the forty people who took
advantage of the last Sutherlin ex-
cursion run by the VIM. Nj. Smith
Company IN conjunction with the
Luse Land Company. They spent a
day at Portland while the rose carni-
was in progress.
Mr.. Thuerwachter says the Luse
Land Company provided automobiles
and the entire party was taken on a
sight seeing tour of the city.
The parade of the rose festival
was the most beautiful procession |
have ever seen" he says. Auto
mobiles were decorated profusly
with roses. many bearing lodge EN-.
blems made of roses.
In fact each car was cover
ed with the flowers. and as the pro-
cession passed, delicate scent filled
the air.
THE tour Of the city was like the
usual tour of the business and resi-
dence districts of Omaha, Denver,
Salt Lake City. and Seattle. But the
drive at Portland had a fine character
of its own. Trim lawns, mile after
mile, were splashed with brilliant
colors of gold, red, white and
pink. Great store chimneys were
half hidden by crimson ramblers.
Long hedges were afame with scar
let. Broad hillsides in the park were
also gorgously colored.
| MANY people visited the two
special Luse Land cars at Portland
The ladies brought roses and de-
corated both cars. While at Port
land we visited the famous Forestry
building. It's made entirely of logs,
some sixty feet long and from three
/ to four feet thick.
''The Southerlin excursion as was
advertised by the VIM. M. Smith
Land Co., of this city. proved infinit.
| ly better than / expected" conclud
ed Mr.. Thuerwachter. The service
was splendid and the comfort, to say
the least. was ideal heartily re
commend any one who contemplate:
a trip west, to consult the VIM. M
Smith Company. for it offers the
lsbest proposition for the money thai
I know of. !"
/ Mr.. Thuerwachter bought severa
acres of land at Sutherlin and speaks
enthusiastically of the valley and it
future.
