Messrs. Joe N. Manning, John R. Coltrain and G.A. Roberson accompanied Eber Manning, who is an instructor in Jonesboro College of Arkansas as far as Asheville upon his return trip to Arkansas. He had spent several weeks in the county visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Manning.
The young men report a very interesting trip en route to Asheville which took them through the cities of Greensboro and Charlotte. Leaving here Saturday morning they reached Shelby by night where they stayed overnight, arriving in Asheville by noon Sunday. They visited Chimney Rock, Sunset and Black mountains and Mt. Mitchell and other places of interest in the beautiful western part of our State. They were astounded at the loveliness of the mountainous country despite the prolonged dry spell which has caused the death of much vegetation.
