Dr. Lee pays it is the prettiest house in tow nd chal lenges every one with ?tty one to come and disprovr statement. He has invited ev vody to come and make themseh . at home, so that it is a sure enough "house hy the side of "the road," where he can be a friend to man. There is no doubt about it either, that there is a charm in going that way which did not ex ist a few days ago. There has always been a rivalry between the parallel streets leading to Buncombe and from time imme morial these . streets have been call ed respectively, "the back way" and "the front way." At last, we believe the back is coming to the front. And when the hospital is fully installed, all roads will lead this way, the sick going to be cured and the well to carry them sympathy. It is a gay sight already to see at morning and noon the troops of children in their gayly colored caps and sweaters thronging by going back and forth from school. Entertained for Visitors. Mrs. J.
