GOING TO LAUREL PARK.


The following verses must be sung
to the tune of Riding in the Sleigh"
Take the trolley
Take me with you
Take me up the Swiss,
Take me then upon the tower
Where you steal a. view.
Hold my hands meath the bowers
While we are on the lark
Picking blossoms,
Smelling flowers,
Out at Laurel Park.
Ho, Tommy, hold me tightly
Or will have to float,
Amt it jolly with your sweetheart,
Riding in boat?
Tommy don't you know its funny
Swimming at the beach?
Stay close by me
Be my bunny
Close enough to reach.
Don't you know the fashion, Tommy
Going to Crystal Spring,
Cupids pathway, now be chumny
Give me up the ring.
The sun is dropping,
Nights approaching
Give your girl chance
Take Ae to the soda fount
Then take me to the dance.
-Longfellow Lanier Poe.

HAL R1PLEY's ANCIENT WATCH.

Made in 1897, Says AsheviIIe Citizen,
Which Contains the Following Story.
]. H Ripley, a business man of
Hendersonville and frequent visitor
in Asheville, says the Citizen. has a
watch which is remarkable in more
ways than one. 1t is a family heir
loom, having been built to order for
his great, great, great grandfather in
1897 by a matchmaker in Liverpool,
England. 1t is 218 years old but keeps
just as good time as it did the day it
was made by the Liverpool craftsman.
The timepiece is a wonderful ex-
ample of the craftsman's skill both in
the matter of design and mechanical
ingenuity. The cases is of eighteen
karat gold and the works of the watch
which were made by hand are set on
diamonds and rubies. 1t winds with
a key and is beautifully engraved.
Mr.. Ripleys grandfather, Valentine
Ripley, settled in Hendersonville in
1852, and built the first store erected
in that city. Tt was constructed en-
tireIy of stone and stands today near
the county court house.

ported to have been the victim of 4

requests the United States to COM

Gushing incident is in progress, rem
dered unnecessary any reference to
these cases in the Presidents latess
Eote. But an unequivocal answer to
the demand that submarine attacks be
discontinued, as to neutrals and non
Icembatants, is insisted upon. The
President maintains that official inves-
tigation by comp inspectors, prior
to the sailing of the Lusitania, ex-
plodes the German contention that the
vessel was armed; that the ship did
not attempt resistance, but was tor
pedoed without warning and carried
with it to the bottom of the ocean

were utterly helpless to save them
selves,
If Germany accedes to the demands
outlined in this latest note of the
President, serious barrier between

check placed on the indiscriminate
destruction of the citizens of neutral
powers. The United States prefers
strict neutrality to armed Intervention
and really desires continuance of
friendly relations with Germany. The
personal conference between German
Ambassador Bernstorff and President
Wilson recently brought out this fact
clearly and Enthusiastically. AS result
of this conference, Meyer Gerhard, an
