In a few words, Ilaywood County in the past and present* comprehending every interest, material, professional, and ethical is set forth the hope that a worthy county and state pride will be maintained and cherished by our people, and that greater efforts will be made in the future to set Haywood in the forefront of the progressive counties of the State.
