Great HeligiotM: Gathering terhicfo
'Benefit the- City Morally, Socially
and Financially
, As announced exclusively in
The Hustler some time ago, the
Board of Trade has been working
on the project of bringing a great
Chautauqua and Bible Conference
to this city. The untiring ef
forts of the Board, and of its
special .committee, of which Dr.
Grinnan is chairman, has, it is
believed, resulted successfully,
and this annual gathering is now
practically assured.
In fact, it is now "up to" the
citizens and business men of this
city to say whether they want it
or not.
In Gainsville, Fla., the Chau
tauqua established there has re
sulted in an increase in real estate
values conservatively estimated
at from 50 to 100 per cent.
The advertising the city will
get trough the reports- published
in the secular and religious presSj
m a' ' A A
is. according lo c:mpeieni au
thorities, of the highest value, and
must inevitably make this beauti
ful city and its manifold advan
tages as a resort, known all over
the United States.

) within a few minute's walk of our
homes, some of the most noted
lecturers, on all subjects, the
greatest divines, tne greatest bible
students, of the world.
It affords us an opportunity to
hear such men as Jones, Tillman,
Bob La Follette, at a price which
is almost nothing.
The educational advantages
alone, of this Chautauqua, might
be expanded upon sufficiently to
fill a column.
Suffice it to say that the lec
tures and sermons and education
al opportunities her presented
are unsurpassed.
It will be an attraction for
hundrtds and thousands of peo
ple who otherwise would not come
to Hendersonvilie.
Scores of these people, in the
natural course of events, will be
come permanent residents.
To accommodate this great
gathering, it is proposed to erect
a creat auditorium. The cost will
probably be about $2,500. The
location will be in some central
j part of the town easily accessible.

month in the summer, other at

The
conditions on which' the
city can get this great assembly,
are these:
That a suitable auditorium be
built, to be turned over to the
Uhautauaua neonle so long as

they continue to hold their meet

That a certain number ot sea

The number of tickets we will
be obliged to take is something

This means an average cost oi

What
the Editor Of the Jackson-
ville Times-Union has to say
about Hendersonvilie.
The following extract is from the
Jacksonville Times-Union, one of the
oldest and most influential papers of the
South:
Hendersonvilie was reached about 6:30
p. m.j ana aituougn a telegram bad
been sent from Columbia adyising that it
I would be impossible to accept the invi
tation of the Hendersonvilie Board of
Trade for the party to become the guests
of the Board for luncheon and a drive
through the city, there was a large
delegation at the depot to meet the par
ty. .
Met By n Delegation.
Hon. A. P. P. King, mayor of Hender
sonvilie: Mr. O. E. Bly th, clerk of the
Board of Aldermen; Mr. J. M. Waldrop,
secretary, of the Board of Trade, W. A.
Smith, Tax Collector Brooks, Sheriff
Rhodes, and other officials, were among
ibose present to welcome the party. Mu
tual regrets, were expressed by the
members of both parties at the Inability
of the Florida editors to stop over in
Hendersonvilie at that time. They
agreed, however, to consider stopping
for several hours in Hendersonvilie on
their return from Lake Toxaway
At Hendersonvilie the Florida party
changed cars and boarded special cars
on the Lake Toxaway branch of the
Southern Railway. Before getting on
the train each member of the party was
presented with a handsome souvenir
booklet, issued by the Hendersonvilie
Board of Traed.
An Appreciated Compliment.
The book is neatly printed and bound
! and on the cover, printed In golden let
tering, is the following: "Compliments
I of the Hendersonvilie Board of Trade
to the Outing ' Florida Press Associa-
tion." Tins was a compliment most
highly appreciated by every member of
the Florida party, and the thanks of all
were extended to tne enterprising
Board of Trade of Hendersonvilie. .
- The book is 8x12 inches and is profuse
ly illustrated with views of the country
around Henderson ville, the county and
city public buildings, parks, clubhouse,
hotels, business blocks, private resi
dences, churches, schools, banks, and j
photographs of the city official? and of-
ficers of the of Trade.
I Former Hospitality Recalled.
To the majority of the older residents
of Florida, Hendersonvilie is a place
tbat will always be warmly remember-
ed In 1888 when the epidemic of yel-

The booklet issued by its Board of
Trade contains the following brief
sketch of the city: - -
Facts Worth Knowing.
--Henaersonviue, jn. u., with its
beautiful suburb, Flat Rock, has an alti-
tude of 2,200 feet above the sea level. It
offers unparalelled opportunities to the
capitalist and home-seeker, and the
j pine-covered mountains by which it
is
surrounded restore the ill to new life
and new vitality. With a climate beyond
compare, with the most superb scenery
in the world, Hendersonvilie is already
well knwn to the tourist and health
seeker. It has long been the most
popular summer resort in the'South,
d is now becoming equally well known
imrougnoui; me iNortn as an meal spot
in wnicn to spena me winter. Tne
I hotel accommodations are-ample and
strictly modern. The water system
(absolutely pure spring water from the
mountains, above any habitation). is one
of the finest in the world. The citv is
growing rapidly, an enormous amount
of building is going on, and Henderson
ville is probably the most progressive
and beautiful city in "The Land of the
Sky," where the sky is ever bright, the
sun ever warm, where the grand -old
dark blue mountain heights soon be
come as old-time friends and where the
peole are hospitable and public spirited
to,a degree."
As the Floridians started from Hen
derson ville for the Sapphire County
they were ioined bv Mr. T. R. Barrows.

paper published in Hendersonvilie

a most alia bie gentleman and added
much to the pleasure of the Florida
mrtv. as he accompanied them to Tjika
Toxaway and remained until Snnday
morning.
The road from Hendersonvilie to Lake
Toxaway, into the heart of the beautiful
Sapphire Country, runs through a most
charming and picturesque country. It
was formerly the Transylvania Railroad,
extending from Hendersonvilie to Bre-
vard, the county seat of Transylvania
county. ,
Monday morning the party bid adieu
to Manager Aiken and left Lake Tox-
away and the beautiful Sapphire country
with genuine regret that their stay was
ueccessarily so brief. In two hours they
reached Hendersonvilie. and until 6 Roosevelt, were visiting in this corn
o'clock in the afternoon were the guests munitv on Sundav
of the Board of Trade of that progres
sive city. After a splendid luncheon.
which was greatly enjoyed, the party
was escorted around the city by mem
b?rs of the board, and all were greatly
pleased with this progressive city. Sen
a or Joe Humphreys and Secretary Ap
pleyard, of the press association, express
ed the appreciation of the party for the
courtesies extended. Editor J. W.
White, of the Florida Fraternal Record,
also expressed his pleasure at their re
ception, and he voiced the sentiments of
the entire party. ,

Wadsworth paint has been selling
best where it is best known. It is pure
paint. It is good paint. To know Wads-
worth paint is to buy it, and to use it
once is to buy it again. It is the most
econimic paint, because it is the best,
and the best because it is the most eco
nomic. It takes a gallon of oil to a gal-
Ion of paint, coasts a little over one dol
lar per gallon when oil is added ready
for use. ,

Mrs. W. T. Johnson, who had spent a
long life on Mills River, was called to
her eternal home last Wednesday. If
she had lived until the 25th of July she
would have been 85 years old. I first
met her about 42 years ago, and the first
impression mode on my mind was that
she was a kind-hearted, good woman.
