When politicians speak as these men spake you may say with out hesitation that they have the better interests of Henderson county at heart. s Henderson county needs about 2,000 politicians of this type. We never could see why a man had to be a fool with reference to the right of suffrage. JOB SHIFTING AT POSTOFFICE Noah Hollowell, Editor POETIC CORRESPONDENCE Shovels full of cinders ; Wagons full of sand Would make better walking For the feet of man. J. R. . Willson responds and says, "Here is some poetry to add to your) cinders and sand." And now I hear you talking, And this is what you say; Mrs. J. T. Wilkin Dead Mrs. John T. Wilkins died at a local sanitarium Tuesday afternoon at the age of 24 years after an ex tended illness. Interment was made What it takes to make good walking, at Oakdale cemetery Wednesday But you never mention clay. The Board of Trade sits sadly, Like a bump upon a log; Advice it gives most gladly, That all goes up in fog. The Unnamed Subject 'Twas red clay, mirey clay, Of which our feet were shy Hence 'twas for sand and cinders We made poetic cry. MORE ABOUT THE CITY PARK On next Tuesday the qualified voters of Hendersonville will say by their ballots whether or not they want to issue bonds to the amount of $23,000 to purchase the Notermah property for a city park. Happily the people have their own say in this matter. Those who re main from the polls will count against the proposition as it will take a ma jority of the qualified voters to car ry the election. aiternoon. ur. ju. iu. uomar con ducted the services. The following pallbearers were from the Masonic order: H. A. Stepp, Charlie Morrow, Paul Rhddes, Nathan Brenner, W. A. Keith, Dr. W. B. Wilson. '... - Before her marriage a little more than four years ago the deceased was Miss Olive French Eury. She was a graduate nurse of the Mission hos pital, Asheville, and was acquainted with much suffering through observa tion and experience, but she knew how to bear it with patience and for titude. Mrs. Wilkins spent the past summer in the vicinity of Bat Cave for her health and shortly after re turning home entered a sanitarium where she might receive the best of treatment and attention. In addition to the husband Mrs. Wilkins is sur vived by one daughter. The departure from the postoffice of Assistant Postmaster S. G. Rhodes, resigned, makes a consiaerable shift in positions of postoffice employes as follows : Rev. J. A. Mason, stamp clerk, will become assistant postmaster. J. C. Waldrop, assistant dispatch and mail clerk, moves up to stamp clerk. W B. Reid, substitute clerk, replaces Mr. Waldrop as assistant dispatch and mail clerk, and Fred Edney, carrier on R. F. D. No. 2. takes Mr. Reid's place as substitute clerk. Clarence Coston, substitute carrier on Route 2, will carry the mails on that route until a' civil service exami nation is held in the near future and a permanent carrier appointed. Fralo Kuykendall will carry mail on route 1. Mr. Rhodes expected to play be tween the First Bank and Trust Com pany, and the postoffice until Feb. 15, but sickness -at his home this week makes it necessary for him to be with his family. Rebuild Spartanburg Road It will be good news to the people of this section to know that the pro ject of rebuilding the highway from the Spartanburg to the Henderson couifty lines has been approved, and that work will start as soon as weath er and labor conditions permit.

Drake & Jones Store Robbed ' rPVia e-fi TVra "b-a AV TATiflo lira a another opportunity robbed on last Thursday night and equal to the present one present it self for a desirable park site so centrally located and so admirably suited to such purposes? If the price is exorbitant, then the people should hesitate. If they begrudge the sellers a small profit, this should make no difference if the price is reasonable. They can sub divide the property and .no doubt get a much better price than asked from the 'city. s The question has been raised as to the city's exceeding its bond selling capacity. The NEWS showed last week that there is plenty of play room yet for this. It is argued that the city needs a water supply. This is very true but we needed it ten. years ago and just because we continue to ignore this very important issue is no reason we should neglect others of less impor tance. Some say that taxes will be too high. A levy of only a few cents on the $100 property valuation would be necessary to carry the project. Asheville blood hounds were sent for. They trailed some person for about four miles to a barn on. Mud Creek and couldn't go farther. . It is be lieved that the thief there mounted a horse and continued his j'ourney. The owners of the store are unable to say how many goods were taken, yet they missed a good many. PRAISES KENTUCKY HOME Editor J. D. Boone of the Wayne? ville Montaineer-Courier returned home and wrote the following kind words: ' "A few of the editors and publish ers of the weekly press of Western North Carolina met at the Kentucky Home in Hendersonville last Friday afternoon and evening, the place of meeting having been changed from Asheville on account of influenza con-1 "ditions in Asheville.
