A. . Ota ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR HENDERSONVILLE. N. C. THURSDAY; AUGUST 1907 VOL.XVI NO. . n ; ' -run - : eh. m m? 1. The Chautauqua. The stockholders of the Henderson vilte AudlLoriutnjCompany held a meet ing In one corner of their big " building1 last Monday night. To kerosine lamp illuminated the darknrsu and enabled President K. B. Grinnanand Secietary Michael Sohenck to read their, highly interesting reports. , An auditing com- mittee was appointed to go over the books, and the report of the President was received and adopted. The old board of directors and officers were unanimously elected by the - stock holders. Mr. Wm. Hewitt and Post master Brownlow Jackson then resign ed troni the directorate, stating they were unable to give the time and atten tion to their 'duties 'as officers which they thought should be given, v Hon. H. S. Anderson and T. R. Bar rows were elected to the vacancies. As stated In this paper, previously, the contract with Dr. Clarence B Btrouse has been canceled, and the Chautauqua this year will be . under the direcciou entirely of the Handersonvllle Auditorium Co. ine mdeung or tne stocsnotaers was. entirely harmonious The reports were discussed at some length, the" officers were commended for their earnest and sincere work on behalf of the company. A good majority of the stock was repre sented either by proxy or in person. Arrangements have definitely been made for a program of the greatest in - - . terest and merit. Some of tne attrac tions are Senator Tlllmaa, Senator Car mack, Dr. Broughton, and others equal ly fine if not as well known The season tickets will be offered to the public immediately. There have been many requests received already for them. The official program will be issued shortly, for general distribution, Every indication points to an extrem ely successful session of the Chautauqua. The intellectual end moral uplift of the Chautauqua is undoubted. The com munity is greatly benefited by listening to such men as Dr. Broughton; Senator Tillman always stirs the people. The Bible Conference in connect! in is of greatest aid. The entertainers and the Vitascope pictures appeal strongly to the children. And the price Ija but nm iual $&50 tor the entire se. les. Notice. Notice i hereby given that applica tion will be made to the Governor of North Carolina for the conditional par don of Simp Dogan, convicted at the October term 1906 of the -Superior court of Henderson County for larceny. This 19th day of July, 1967. Here and There Sheriff John Grant and Col. Pickens are both clean-shaven .now and are about the youngest looking men in the town. ' ' ' ' "' :' The. farmers are cheerful folks these pleasant days. The crops as a whole are remarkably good In. Henderson county, and there are hundreds of summer visi tors scattered about in the : country homes. This makes the farmer feel still more contented. This is as It should be, and less money will leaye the countv this winter for feed, by far, than last. The Ice man has his troubles,; too. The Ashevllle Ice Delivery Company is now supplying Hendersonville with ' the congealed liquid. Two of their three plants broke drown in thai city, the local plant has been making practically none until its new water supply bad been arranged for. (from the Wheeler spring,) and It hag been practically an ice famine. The advance In price has also caused much complaint, ibut the hardest kicks came from those wb wanted the ice at any price and could not get it. The summer visitors were a bit late in getting here, but they are now arriv ing In crowds, and in the opinion of many the season will be much later closing than during previous years. The Raleigh News and Observer is sow a member of the "red headed" fam ily of newspapers. The 'steemed Char lotte Observer recently remarked that it did not like "red-headei" newspap ers, which is tough on th Hustler and the Raleigh News and Observer, or the Raleigh News and Observer and the Hustler, which ever you please. Statistics gathered at Northern resorts show that each year the mountains are gaining in popularity over the sea shore. More people are spending their vaca tions in the mountains this year than ever before. When one bears of the terrid temper ature of the South, the deaths from ex cessive beat in the North, one is apt to appreciate this wonderful climate still morejrhe pleasant warm days of Hen dersooville are succeeded by inch glori ous nights that it is a wonder the whole world does not move into Henderso0 county. . And a great part of them would if they were aware of .the un equalsd climate of the county. Ex sheriff Williams has been spend ing a few days at Sugar Lonf, returning Monday. He brought with him the first piece of money he ever received, a quar ter dated 1825, given him by his grand father at the age of . three years, and carefully preseived ever since, oyer a half century. v ;: Noble Johnson says be firmly believes that each and every telephone subscriber in this city has entered into a conspira cy, tote lepho2e the ice plant,; every miuing at nine o'clock, asking why ice has not been delivered. The superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School was absent from hi ac customed place last Sabbath. His lit tie son was present; however, and V as asked by the minister as to bis father's whereabouts. The room was perfectly quite and the boy' answer rang out shrill and clear: "My father? Why, he's gone to the ice factory after icef! The Electric Road. It Is said that the electric road here and Ashsville is an assu red fact. Particulars will appear next week. . be- The Hotel Wheeler. The Hotel Wbeeler had 125 cruests for dinner last Sunday. Guests are coming in rapidly and this famous hotel Is filling up rapidly, ' . r , Mr. Sam ? Wheeler, the genial pro prietor, looks for an exceedingly pros perous season this' ear, altho' it maybe a trifle late. John Storm, of Columbia, who made such an enviable reputation as the lead er of the Wheeler's orchestra last sea son, arrived in town MoDday, and has charge of the orchestra again this year. Water for the Horses. Wanted in Hendersonville, a place, where the farmers ef Henderson coun ty may water their horses. For fifteen years the farmers and others have been making use os that lot back os Shepherd's store. The fine well there which once supplied the thirsty animals with water has fallen in and is no longer in use, so there is ; no place in town, except they go to the creek where the men who came to town co spend money, or see the doctor, or pay their taxes, or subscribe to their favorite paper (The Hustler) may water their animals. There ought to be seveaal such places, and if the authorities or some one will provide such a convenience . the men from che county will rise, up ana can iiim blessed.. , . . Re-union. The Pleasant Hill Reunion will meet at Pleasant H ill cemetary on Friday be f jre the third Sunday in August. At 10 o'clock, devotional exercises led by F.V. Huggins, followed by decoration. Din ner on the ground, and then short talks. Everybody invited. J. S. Hefner, Chairman J. T. Drake, Secretary The ElectricLigfits. The City Council ' will consider- the electric light service at its meeting, to morrow night, Thursday, Aug. 1st. . The Council meets in the City Hall, at about 8 o'clock. R. M. Oates, manager of the Electric Light Company has been invited to be present. . . . . The Council and Mayor Schenck wants every citizen present who has, o who thinks he has a grievance against the company, and state their side of the case. The authorities have promised to con sider the matter.but seem to want the citizens themselves present, to 'make their objections. It is believed a large number of bus iness men and others interested will be present. It is said two propositions from - out side capitalists will be submitted to the council, either at the meeting or very shortly, looking to the establishment of a new plant here. ' 'From Superintendent Bangs. Superintendent Bangs, of the Elec tric Company, made the positive state ment to this paper that by Saturday of this week there would be sufficient pow er for all demands. He sasd that the repairs and Improvements at the dam were nearly completed and that the steam plant in town would be ready be fore that time. The dam at the Falls is being raised six feet. m m m Election. There are three petitions for a wet and dry election being circulated in town. The city authorities are making earn east and energetic efforts to stop the illegal sale of liquor in this town, and the heaviest sentences will be meted out to those caught and convicted. The city authorities are now In com munication with the federal authori ties and also 'with Solicitor Spainhour In reference to the United States gov ernment licenses held here. Section ,2060, Revlsal of N. C, laws, states that ilie possession of such a'llcenae in a drj town is prima facie evidence of gulit. Of course this would not apply to the drug stores, who have a state license. Bible Talks it the Auditorium. or the past two weeks, Rev. R. V.
