Niger Mountain Gains Notice
From Charlotte Observer

the south the dim outline of Flat top
at Blowing Rock and of Grandfather
mountain above Linville-and, if
you remain until after the sun drops
behind the distant ridges and etches
them more clearly against the dark
ening sky, you see dozens of others
that cannot be identified, except by
those who, like Shirley Hurt of
Christiansburg, Va, pay periodic
visits to the mountains as you and
do to old friends and know every
peak by its first name.
Mr.. Weaver, who has done much
of the work on the new road, told us
that if you arrive at the top before
dawn, you can see the sun like a
blood-red ball above the Blue Ridge
before ar ay of light has reached
Niger Mountain For this phenome-
non there is no explanation, unless
may hazard the amateur opinion
that it is caused by atmospheric con-
ditions similar to those that produce
a mirage on the desert.
At this height the temptation to
look straight down is too strong to
resist, but it had better not be tried
by the weak-hearted ones. You place
your feet firmly, put a hand on the
knee of the forward leg, crane your
neck over the edge, and look upon
the tops of lofty trees that are re-
duced to saplings. You begin to get
dizzy as you see hawk skimming
the tops of these trees so far down
that he looks no larger than a hum
ming bird, and you cast your eyes to
a safer distance in the valley, where
the twin towns of Jefferson and West
Jefferson; which seem well separat-
ed when you are in them, now ap-
pear so close together that the chill
dren might play Antony-over across
the hill that separates them. Around
them lies an expanse of farming land
alternating patches of green pas
ture and plowed loan that seem to
be arranged particularly for the
mosaic design they would present to
the eye from this elevated viewpoint.
Among them winds the concrete
highway, like thin ribbon of white
dropped carelessly on the mosaic
carpet and left to lie where it fell.
My two-year-old daughter, seeing
a car scurryihg along this highway,
gazed for moment in quandary,
then pointed small disdainful fin
ger and pronounced with great fin
atty, "Bug!" And having solved that
problem to her complete satisfaction,
she turned her attention elsewhere.

Girl Only Survival Of
Siamese Operation

A little farm girl of nine played
freely about her fathers place IN
Marseilles last Friday, unconcerned
over her distinction as the only sur
vivor of Siamese twin operation
known to science.
She is Marie Keller, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Kellar, norm
al, healthy third grader in the coun-
try school now on vacation.
Marie's. unique record in the an
mails Of the American Medical assoc
citation was disclosed after the death
of the second Siamese babes born to
Mrs. Diego Florence of Everett, Mass.
The infant twin succumbed before an
operation could release her from the
sister who died at birth Thursday.
Marie was Joined at birth on a
cold February i, 1927, to Siamese
twin by six-inch attachment at the
base of the spine Her twin did not

who attended the mother, improvis-
ed an incubator from hot water bot
ties and rushed the infants, on living

Iowa Brothers Find
$4,000 on Farm

One hundred and twelve thousand
dollars in gold coin, gold and silver
certificates and securities was dis
covered on the Iwers farm Friday,
it was announced in Upton, Iowa, on
the Fourth of July, and relatives of
three aged bachelor farm owners,
now dead, plan second organized
treasure hunt this week.
Buried in an old machine shed in
an iron box, the fortune was discov-
cred last week by Louis Voss, adj
ministrator of the Henry Iwers es-
tate, who searched with court Off
Gals and relatives. Several thousand
dollars in securities were found hid
den in the house where the old
bachelors lived.
It was learned that another iron
box containing $4,000 in securities
reported to belong to the John
Iwers estate, had been uncovered
previously, and the contents were
taken to Davenport bank.
The estate of the three brothers
is valued at $35O,OOO. Authorities be-
lieve that more money may be found
hidden on the farm.

Niger MOUNTAIN

In Ashe county, which is still an
undiscovered country for the tourist,
WPA labor has been used to make
accessible to persons with weak
hearts the superb panorama visible
from the top of Niger Mountain
without risking an attack of angina
as result of the arduous climb
which has hitherto been necessary
to reach the summit.
For the WPA has built road that
zig-zags up the side of the mountain
and is held in place by rock walls,
but is easily travelled by automobiles
from the valley near Jefferson to the
very peak. The builders have left
trails that may be followed by those
who rrefer to get their fun by climb
ing for it.
Half way up you may stop for
lunch on a green sward that forms
perfect picnic ground on the edge
of a grove, and get your natural ice
water as it gushes from springs out
of the native rock.
This road has led to discoveries,
not only by tourists, but also by
people who have spent their lives in
the shadow of Niger Mountain but
did not know that the apparently
moderate sized rock sticking out of
the unbroken forest atop the noun
tain was actually precipice that for
sheer, perpendicular drop and dra-
matte outlook has few rivals in the
North Carolina mountains and is
probably surpassed only by the cliffs
of Whiteside Mountain and the Ex-
clamation Point at Chimney Rock.
Niger Mountain, so local folk lore
has it, received it's name because it
was the hiding place of runaway
slaves before the Civil war. If this
story is true, the fugitives certainly
selected the best possible hideout,
for the dense forest that covers the
mountain hides its Irregularities and
gives it from a distance a smooth,
mound-like appearance. But this de-
ception become apparent at once if
you try to scale it's precipitous sides.
A. B. Hurt and Mrs. Hurt of Nath-
ans Creek, whose hospitality is
proverbial throughout Ashe county,
informed us that it has not been
long since not even a trail led up
this forested mountainside, and the
only way to reach the summit was
to follow the bed of a creek. Even
then it was necessary to make de-
tours on all-fours through the under
brush around waterfalls and cas-
cades. People who know this noun
tain, therefore, have waited for the
WPA road before ascending to the
breathtaking panorama of Third
Rock.
For, when you step out of the for
est at the top and find yourself with
out warning on this towering pro-
montory, your eye takes in att one
exultant sweep the majestic profiles
of hundred mountains which until
this moment were completely hid
den. Before you is Three Top, long,
saw-tooth giant that extends away
and loses itself among crowd of
lesser neighbors; Paddy, a sway
backed ridge that brings early twi-
light to the valley below it; the Bald,
whose name is its own description;
the Peak, with its sharp cone pierre
ing the clouds in the distance; White
Top, far away in Virginia; over to
