SEPT. 2,1911 X 1 THE t - v- m V;-:. ft-i- t"-r- Si - ft f'V it! 19 BALL TU The orchestra furnishing the music for the automobile ball at Laurel Park tonight, is one of the best in the South They will be seated in a clever initiation gasoline wagon and the streams of sweet music furnished ...bjr ifhein will make the pleasure of the daiTOefs a double one. The deicious punch will be served from a well, well, it almost slipped out that time, sure Its a state secret just how the punch will be served and no mention it whatever is sup posed to be made in any daily news paper But the punch will be served and it will be the right kind, too The floor of the pavilion, one of the best dancing floors in the State, will be in excellent condition it will be all the most particular may demand Altogether 'the ball will be a fitting climax to the most brilliant socia, season in Hendersonvile's history as a resort. The event is given in honor of the contributors to the automobile meet fund a partial list of whom was pub lished in yesterday's Herald." While it is unfortunate that the nil;, climb and parade had to be postpon ed until August IS, 1912, the ball to night will testify to the desire ol the part of Hendersonville's publi' spirited business men .to contribute ii every way possible to the entertain ment of the city's guests. Mr. Rogers Receil es Prize. Mr. R. M. Rogers of Fruitland was ia the city yesterday, incidental ly collecting the prize of $15'.00 offer ed last year by the Mercantile Co.: for the best yield of beans growi on one-half an acre of land. Hi had previously received the same famcjnt offered for the best yield ci Irish potatoes. Mr Rogers succeeded in coaxinjr from the ground 123 bushels of po tatoes on the specified half acre, am" 5 and 1-3 bushels of beans from another half acre The yield of po tatoes was larger than even Mr. Kog ers expected, being something una sual for this county. He feels justl; nmiifl nf thia rpeord and promises to show feme mce 2,001 produce 11 ia Fair s held this fall Buys Lot Number Thirteen Mr. Giles' L.- Wilson, of Spartan burg, a national bank examiner who is spending a few days in Henderson ville, at Laurel Park Retreat, har bought lot number thirteen in th Laurel Park residence subdivision. Mr. Wilson it is, in whose life the v number thirteen has been pleasantl associated with many of the most im portant incidents of his career. A' nnomiTit of scMie of these incident- appeared in a recent issue of the Daily Herald attracted attention her? and has since been widely copied by the press of the South. Almost from Mr. Wilson's first ex ploration of Laurel Park ' he was at tracted to one certain lot in the es " tate not particularly more desirable than any one of the others remaining in the subdivision, and rot in anyway more likely to attract his attention. But this one certain lot invited his attention, his thoughts. his desires, and he seriously began to consider buying it. One evening Mr. Wilson spoke to Mr W. A Smith about the site he had in mind for a sumerar home. To- , gether they, consulted the large map of Laurel Park Estate and both were almost startled to find that it was Lot No. Thirteen! i When this number's connection with Mr. Wilson's life at almost every turn is considerd, that he should select lot number thirteen from among many equally as desirable is really a remarkable concidence and one hard to explain . It will be in- t(sting to note if, in the fullness of time, Mr. Wilson sells the home site he now owns in the most beautiful natural nark in America for a great ly increased sum say thirteen hun dred dollars. Or possibly he may find a gold mine there or something like that. At all events he ha bought the lot. No doubt that of "itself . Is lucky for him as it is for Hendersonville in gaining so desirable ; an addition to its citizenship as Mr. Giles L. Wilson a man for ' whom number thirteen has no terrors whatever- At The Palace Both the pictures and the music were unusually good last night and it was hard Jo leave even after the performance "was over. . "Steamboat Bill" by the orr.estra received a good round of arrVause and the ren dition of jitoU the rs'-mbers was worthy of coment. Especially good and touchlwSrft'ere tbe accompaning pieces of the film "Waiting" The music and the pathos of the piece made one boy in the rear of the hall say to his younger brother, "Don't cry, Freddie, it aint all so." He really expressed te epcrrt feeling of all who saw the fm'-r it was one of heart-ernoping j terpst . Good pictures will be j shewn tl is afternoon and tonight. A PhilTipnire war picture of extreme interest will be the feature . As uSual, a good ow and a crowded house of well pleased spectators will be 'seen.

No celebration is scheduled to occur here and the day will probably pass off as quietly as any other day.

DECIDE TO GO OTHERS GLAD TO COM Hundreds of visitors have already left Hendersonville called home by business, school or social affairs, but. for the first time In many years, niany more are coming to Hendergonrlll to take their places. This pecularity of the present season is notlcable particularly at Laurel Park where scores of stranger are seen, now that the sun Is smiling once again, exploring the manifold beauties of the great es tate. It Ig a fact, and one that speaks loudly of the fame cf Laurel Park, that nineHenthg of the visitors to Hendersonville visit Laurel Park at the first favorable opportunity pre sented. And nine times out of ten. again, they repeat their visit almosi dally. The Swiss Railway In the Park, at the present terminus of the Laurel Park street railway. Is the second fav orite spot of the average tourist tbe 'first being Crystal Springs. The numbers of passengers carried dally by the Incline average some thing like three hundred and they are universally out-apoken In their admiration of that superb panorama witnessed from the summit of Echo Mountain and the end of the railway. They see before them, spread on a gigantic canvass miles and miles broad, a picture of tbe White City Hendersonville wfth its long arm eagerly reaching towards tbe Park which has helped to make It .known. Beyond the city they see the gentle undurlatlng slopes of the mot beau tiful mountains In the world. Not the bare and barren rugged Rockies, nor the snow capped peaks of Switz erland's famed Alps, but green clad giants tossing their gleaming heights far Into an azure sky. They see. be yond the first range, ether peaks In the dim distance solitary nentlnels on these far flung ramparts nf the world keeping watch and ward over the destinies of a city some day to be the resort of a nation. It's a fine picture a wonderful scene not soon forgotten. And the easiest way of all to view It Is to take the dummy to the Swiss Incline rail way. There's going to be many hundreds nSke this trip tomorrow If the tun -still shines. The Park Itself never looked more beautiful than right now after the wonderful foliage there has been refreshed and renewed and giv en new life by the copious rains. Altbo late In the season. It Is the one safe bet that the crowd at Laurel Park tomorrow will rival In number and fntLunlasm any crowd there the season It's Hendersonville's Play ground of a verity, and when tbe weather Is favorable the people flock to It. There's reason." HAN SHOWS APTITUDE FOR ADVERTISING BUSINESS "What Is this a corn show or " printing officer An old and valued subscriber to the Hustler fired the question at tbe office devil ag he started to enter the office this morning. His mission was a life-saving one. He was about to pay a year's back subscription and one year In advance. Very often old and valued subscrib ers do this very same thing. That's no fairy tale right there on Miss Lilly Brook desk are tbe books to prove it if you hcstltate to believe the statement. He started to enter and everybody's heart ceased to beat for fear he would not. He paused on tbe worn stone threshold of the office, pulled a pair of steel rimmed spectacles from a leather case, and carefully adjusting them, leaned over and examined something on the ground In front of him. "Well. I'll be dogged If that alnt clever," he murmured. "That's wha I call smart I certainly do." And slowly removing his specs, he replaced them In their leather case and entered the office. A sign composed of kernels of corn. spelling "The Hustler Company, In corporated," spread on the walk was the cause of the old and valued sub scribers' remarks. The' sign was the result of the mental and physical prowess of Mr. William Bhlpman a recent and temporary addition to the Hustlers staff of bright ycing men, who, finding time hanging some what heavy upon his band conceived tbe Idea of unit izing the large space in front of tbe office for advertising purposes. William Is extremely anxious. that no note be taken of his effort, and out Ride of this confidential little com ment nothing will be said about It' For you see how It I, yourself hf wss supposed to be otherwise en rag ed but his spirit naturally rebelling against tbe Iron dlscepline of a mere printing office, he, and ro on and so on.
