Deep Gap


community have made application to
the Grand Secretary of the State for
the establishment of a lodge of l.
o. o. F. or Oddfellows here. We
want to build this place up and an
order like the above would be a
great thing for our community. We
then could have a grand picnic fes
tival every year at Deep Gap under
the auspices of the order chat would
be worth coming miles to attend.
We hope our good citizens will
help push this thing along anG let's
get things going fast as time rolls
onward to this end. 1t will do good
in many ways. Are you with US in
the question. / am sure you will be.
Mr.. A. G. Miller says the Olds-
mobile sells faster than he can get
his allotment of cars, so if you want
an Oldsmobile you had better get
busy with him at once and not be
disappointed in delivery. Place your
order now is his warning.
The Deep Gap Feed Store has o.
pened up with full line of grain,
flour oats chop and feed, and right
from the start have been doing a
good business in their line. Their
prices are right so give them a call
and trade some with them when in
need of anything in their line. They
will give you a square deal.
Say folks! Let's organize a Busi-
ness Booster Club for Deep Gap and
get out some folders, pennaltls, eie
and boost Deep Gap everywhere. We
can meet once in while and plan
for the future along this line. What
do you say? 1t will pay US big to
do this as Deep Gap is on the map
and let's make her shine like a star
from now on. We can do it if we
will only try.
We notice that other sections in
the county have come to the front
with some nice write ups since Deep
Gap blazed the trail. Mr.. Watson
says the folks over at Roscoe could
be looking for him over any day to
look their flower gardens over, but
that the invitation came so late he
is afraid the frost has nipped them
in the bud and that they are now fal
len and fast asleep in dust that will
not return with their tints of glory
until next season, and for Shulls
Mills and Meat Camp we acknowledge
their beautiful mountains that sweep
the blue sky so clear, but after all
our own dear Deep Gap with her
rugged peaks on the right and left
that point upward jim chain of
mounds, peaks, and table lands that
can never be broken without the
hand of God and our valley that
runs east and west north and south
is to be compared as haven for
the weak and weary with balmy bree
zes that fan the soul. We are con-
tent with Mother Natures work but
we are now going ahead with mans
part so Deep Gap still remains: Zone
in all for Deep Gap" Let's hear
from other sections on the printed
page.
Miss Teodocia Watson the princi-
pal teacher at Rocky Point was ta-
ken suddenly sick last Saturday and
was absent from the ice cream So
cial, but her sister and assistant Miss
Fawn Watson carried on the work
and the social was a success from
every standpoint.
The ice cream and pies sold fast
and a large crowd came out. We
wish to thank everybody that came
out and for your interest in this work
for a good cause. This shows that we
can do things if we try.
A large display sign should be e.
rected in Deep Gap so the people
from the lowlands would know how
to reach the place. The State High
way Commission would perhaps do
this for us if we only call on them.
Mr.. C. M. Watson you do this for
us, as you patrol this section of road
Mr.. Joe Greer these days seems
to be very lonely. He has his eyes
set on the Beach, section of this
county. Joe says he will have to &C
out there if some on edoes not re.
turn very soon. What. Joe has il
mind we know not, but by the way
he talks we think he means busines.
which we hope to chronicle later.
