WHITE TOP MOUNTAIN, Va. Au- gust 12.—It took 40 years to do it, but the late Elliott Rcosevelt’s wish that his daughter, “Little Nell,” now Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, meet his Vil ginla mourtain friends was fulfilled in a big way today up here at this rhythm-rocked, tune-filled, crammed pavilion on a peak. Crack mountain singes, jiggers and cloggers, competing for the final priz: in the White Top Folk Festival, made one tale that mcuntaineers will tell over and over again. And Mr Roosevelt's reminiscenses with her father's friends made another equally sure to go down through gen- erations of mountain annals, She met his faithful old Negro servitor, John Smith, 78, and two of the Trigg chil- dren who sang and rode with him in 1893. Carefully, but in aged hands that trembled, John Smith presented her with a delicate, costly china cup— one of a tea set her father used. Recalls Sick Room. “When he lived in two rooms that he furnished himself at Mrs. John Campbell's at Abingdon, I kept his dogs and horses.” said Smith. I could shcw you his sick room now, where I stood by him eight weeks, dayv and night, and rubbed him after he was hurt by an explosion of a lamp” It was during that illness the 18 Trigg children, three families sins, entertained Elliott with singing and he wrote his daughter abou: it. Jean and Jim Trigg—she had a music studio in Richmond and now he's at Hopewell-told of morning horseback rides and evening songs around an organ with the jolly Elliott. “I solicited $250 for a church organ from him over the breakfast table,” said Mrs. Albert Mock of Damascus. And so it went in every interval Fiddle tunes—dulcimer tunes—the crack Blevins boys of Marion playing for the far-famed square dancing, the Cruise family of Crandall, Tenn., 16 as- sorted cousins, and so hour after hour the festival swings on. ’ Town Musical Capital. “Today.
