LYNN
Rev. Pratt preached Sunday. His text was “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,” which was a plain and instructive sermon from start to finish.
The little son of Jack Foster, who was so seriously hurt from the explosion of a gasoline tank a few days ago is doing fairly well at this writing. It is rumored that a case may be made against the county or the road department for damages.
Calvin Moore is very much indisposed at this penciling, being confined to his room almost all the time. He and his wife came here three or four years ago from Florida to get advantage of the climate, also Mrs. Moore found employment in the hosiery mill. Just now the mill is being closed down and Mrs. Moore’s husband being sick makes it hard for her.
Charles Williams and family visited Mrs. Williams’ mother, Mrs. J.B. Panther, last week-end.
Miss Uniack of Saluda, who was with the A.M.S. school here a few years ago, was calling on old friends in Lynn last week. She expressed herself as being very much elated over the recent changes and improvements on the school building grounds, also the church.
A Mr. Stepp of Hendersonville was the guest of P.N. Hood and wife last Sunday. He reports Hendersonville is short her usual number of summer visitors for this date. We suggest business depression is the prime cause.
Hello! Fishtop, if we mistake not, this is fine weather for the “Fiddle tails” or rattler. We were glad to see that little progress was made, and a feeble effort toward getting a good road. Of course that’s the slogan now. If you all had your available horse power on G.R. utilized as some day it will be, all the rattlers and other dangerous reptiles would soon vanish like they did when old St. Patrick ruled old Erin. Don’t see it.
Good roads, good churches, good schools, good society, all other good things will follow. Don't worry good roads is the slogan.
While we write we hear the blasting on the road between Tryon and Landrum and when that piece of road is finished, it will be a big improvement on route of highway. Also a squad of engineers with rod, tape and transit are making surveys on road from Tryon to Mill Spring with view of hard surfacing.
Miss Coline, the daughter of T.A. Rippey, who has been a student at Trinity College for three years past, arrived last week for a vacation.
Polk county has a new post-office—Chocolate. We suggest the next one be made Bon Bon, and if another should follow should say cocoanut, then if another still, would say ice cream.
Silas Fowler left last Saturday for Canton, N.C., to take charge of a hosiery mill just starting up at that place. We believe this enterprise was quite fortunate in securing his services. Silas Fowler is one of our very best hosiery mill men. Sid W. Cairnes and family have gone for a two or three-week's stay in the land of the sky, Sidney’s old home.
If you want to take the world easy, just come to Lynn, the town of rest.
FISHTOP
Two more weeks of rain has about finished up the work in the cornfield. Corn looks fine with crab grass a close rival.
D.S. Pace who is taking quite an interest in good roads, has been canvassing the territory in which the road from Saluda through the cove and into Cooper Gap township will pass if made, in company with T.W. Bradley last week, and reports all visited are quite enthused over the prospect of a good road, also reports that notwithstanding the many favorable reports about Coopers Gap township he had hear, he had found true, and their great need was a good outlet to market, and that it is one of the finest sections of Western North Carolina.
Miss Flora Bradley is very ill and had to have the services of a doctor last week.
T.W. Bradley sang for the Mountain Grove church Sunday.
Robert Price went to preaching at Silver Creek Sunday.
Quite a crowd of the Coveites went to Saluda Saturday to trade.
Dr. Jones and one Mr. Levi of Bucks Creek, Henderson county, were visiting in this section last of last week. They report that they have fine crops of corn in their section (land not having been too wet to work but a few days this season) but they are entirely out of fruit of all kind and that it seems so strange to see such an abundance of all fruits, especially apples here.
A few rattlesnakes were killed week before last, but none reported last week.
Some parties from Henderson were in this section last week fishing.
Ben Holbert was in this section Sunday.
