Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Subjects of his majesty the Mountain King of Nahna-Yona-ville, the following proclamation is effective and beware to all who provoke the wrath of his highness
PROCLAMATION
By His Exalted Majesty The MOUNTAIN KING
TO ALL WHOM THESE PRESENTS COME, GREETING
Know ye, your loyal subjects, that we have embarked on our journey to the capital city of Asheville to bring thence Her Majesty, our gracious Queen Summer, to bestow upon her the crown of our royal realm of the Mountains.
Our course is set over the King’s Highway ‘mid such scenes as convince us that peace and prosperity reign throughout our domain, where nature has bestowed her richest gifts of climate and beauty.
Her Majesty and ourself are in excellent health. The entire royal court is surrounded with every comfort, and all are enjoying the highest spirits.
We will arrive in Ashville at 5 of the clock on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 11, when we shall be pleased to receive the keys of the city and the homage of our beloved subjects. And for the remainder of the festivities of Nahna-Yona, we command that oy and merriment be unrestrained.
(Signed) THE MOUNTAIN KING
Sealed with His Majesty’s Seal this 10th day of July, 1922
Erskine, Prime Minister
From The Asheville Citizen, July 11, 1922
