Stone at the Kiwanis club meeting This state
ment is printed elsewhere in this issue, but we
repeat it again:
I'VE people of Wilkes have always been in
terested in Ashd county; the people there
spend lot of money over here; they put the
pie on our table"
We appreciate the spirit of friendliness and in
terest as expressed in this statement and be-
ieve firmly that there is nothing finer in this
world than that of being good nelghoor OF
being hospitable and charitable at all times, and
we are proud of the fact that Wilkes is neigh
boring county, in which some of the finest and
best people in America live but charity and
the good neighbor policy should be practiced
extensively AT HOME FIRST AND ABROAD
NEXT!
We are not saying that the people of Ashe
county should not trade in Wilkes county, for
that would be ridiculous statement for anyone
to make. There are number of things which
cannot be secured in Ashe, but are available in
Wilkes. On the other hand, we maintain that
TRADE-AT-HOME policy is good one and
should be followed by every citizen who is vital
ly interested in the welfare and prosperity of
his town and county,
In the JefferSons there are fine group of
progressive merchants, but perhaps they need
to sponsor a Max Gardner TRADE At-Home"
movement

WHAT OTHER EDITORS ARE SAYING
HE IS STILL JUST PLAIN CLYDE HOEY.

II don't want any patrolman riding along in
front of me, pushing people off the highway
so l can get by. Those other folks have just
as much right there as l have and they're in
just as big hurry" - Governor Clyde R.
Hoey.
Such is an expression of the characteristic
attitude of the North Carolina Governor
There is nothing of mere staginess, either, on
the part of Governor Hoey in taking this po-
9sition.
He is not disdaining the dignities of his high
office merely to court the favor of ragamuf-
fins.
This is the sort of man he is-one who refuses
to allow the honors and emoluments of his de-
mocracy in practice
Great men really never need to be standof-
fish and to flourish the trappings of their Of
flee, shut themselves away from the people in
sCne clustered and guarded corner and sur
round themselves with bedecked corps of
armored soldiers and ride over the highways
with blare of trumpets and chorus of mo-
tor sirens hailing his goings to and fro.
Clyde Hoey, withal of being the Governor of
North Carolina, continues in his practices as
a citizen of North Carolina, claiming no dist
motive favors or preferences talking his chan
ces even in the jams of football crowds and
walking about the streets of our cities and
minging with the obscured of the ruralside
with an intimacy and friendlness and a SYM
pathy of understanding that has always mark
ed his private life.
He is all the more to be honored and appre-
ciated and applauded by the people for the di-
hgence with which he seeks to shun the re-
gala and pomp and splendour of his distingui-
shed position. The Charlotte Observer
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1937-09-30
A WORD OF EXPLANATION

In the near future the JefferSonS and AShe
county will loose one of their most valuable and
influential citizens, and it is with profound re-
gret that she is leaving
Believing that she could render real service
to her community and county, Miss Nancy Ruth
Reeves resigned from responsible position on
the faculty of Averett College in Danville, Va,
over seven years ago, returned to her home and
established The Skyland Post.
Under her able and courageous editorship and
management, The Post has enjoyed steady
growth since its beginning and today it has a
large circulation, is an Indispensable county in
stitution and has the reputation of being one OF
the best weekly papers in North Carolina.
Miss Reeves published paper that everybody
read and liked and she always took leading
part in the civic religious, political and social
life and welfare of the Jeffersons and Ashe
county.
The new editor and manager of The Post in
tends to carry where she is leaving off and
hopes to publish with the valuable assistance
of John Reeves and other members of the staff,
paper that will continue to merit the same de-
gree of interest and support that has been ac-
corded it in the past, by both readers and adver-
tisers.
There will be no radical changes made in the
papers policies. 1t will continue to print the
news accurately and fairly without being bia-
sed or prejudiced; to encourage those things
that are deemed best for the general welfare
of the majority of the people of the county; to
cater to no one group faction; to be political
ly independent; to be open and free spoken on
all issues in which the public interest is at stake
to promote industry and trade; to advertise this
section of the state.
This paper will not indulge in petty gossip, or
willfully print anything determintal to a per-
sons character, but at all times it will seek to
print the truth without fear or favor.

C.. J. Corvette Is
One OF County's
Oldest Citizens
Celebrated His Goth. Birthday
Last March. Post Gets Four
Replies.

In Ashe and Allegheny counties
there are at least four families
which number four generations
still living and it is believed that
c. J. Corvette, who was 80 years
old on March Is, 1887, is about the
oldest living man in the county.
In cooperation with the survey
now being conducted by The Post
to determine how many families
have four or five generations still
living, four entries were made dur
ing the past week. and it is hoped
that additional entries will be forth
coming within the near future.
Mr.. Corvette, the 9O-year- old
gentleman, raised Z children,
boys and girls and the youngest
one is 48 years old. There are 80
living grand children, SO living
great grand children and 4 great,
great grand children. He enjoys
talking of the by-gone days and
hopes to live to be 100 years old.

with as many as four teams parti.
cipating.
It was pointed out that volley bal
is an easy game to play, affords ex
cellent exercise and fun and tina

RELIGIOUS PROGRESS

Measuring the county in terms of spiritual va
lues, Ashe is indeed rich county and without
boasting, we believe that there are very few
counties or municipalities in North Carolina
that have higher percentage of church mem
bership.
By making an extensive survey to determine
the religious progress made in the county since
1900 Rev. R. H. Stone has rendered a distinct
service. Undoubtedly it must have been rat
her difficult task and The Skyland Post congra-
tulates him for having accumulated this highly
gratifying and significant information which is
given in detail in the news columns.
In business, in government, in ones own per-
sonal lfe as we'll as in the churches, it is an ex-
cellent idea to stop and take inventory occasion
