' : ' ; ; . ' .' Tbese men are so lost to all sense of Bhame as to remain unmarried. That mig'ht not be so strange a condi tion in Asheville, or Raleigh, or Char lotte. or towns like that, but the very idea of their remaining unmarried in HENDERSONVILLE! And so, with the extremely laudable ambition of correcting this lamentable condition of affairs,and wishing to bring these hardened bachelors to a realizing J sense of their duty as so ably pointed out by President Roosevelt in his ad dresses, we herewith present a list of bachelors of the city. Knowing the charms of Henderson ville girls as we do, knowing how irre siBtabl the? are once they make up tbAvc minds, we feel safe In leaving the ttst in their hands, and believe the min. isters of the town will reap a rich bar r esc next jear, and that The Hustler, the great home paper and home builder, will have many interesting events- to chrooiclf within the next twelve months. Girls, here's the list. Now exercise your grsat privilege.bestowed upon you by countless years of custom and usage, and we confidently believe that soon there will not be a bachelor in Hender sonville.

That big beet' of Mr. Summey's in the Hustler window is now in danger of loosing its proud distinction of . being the biggest ever. Thos. Pace, - of Blue Ridge, brought one to town that's re markable. It's really fourteen grown into one, and is a monster in size, . . -' ' Safe! The Hustler safe is now open, thanks to Col. Pickens, to advertising and to Cam Osborne. Jftr.Osborne.who made so many friends while in Hendersonville, is now in Spartanburg, where he still reads the Hustler. In a letter just received, he says. - Dear Mr. Barrows; I notice by the Hustler that you had lost the combi nation to the safe, and remembering 1 hat I once had it, began a search for it, aid found it among some old papers. We certainly appreciate having The Hustler Bant us. and esnecially while there is so much talk of the new rail road. Gl&d to eea that Henderson has Voted the Bonds. You ought to see our big boy; another addition to the Democratic nartv. . With best wishes for vou and The Hustler. C. B. Osbornk. Having the combination, - the - next thing was to open it, and here Col: Pic kens offered his services, after most everyone in the office had failed, and la the nresence of witnesses and the office cat the door was swung solemnly outward, and tha coin of the realm so long withheld from circulation deposited .i Bank of Hendersonyille. Now we know the combination and e defy Ed, Brooks to do his worst! H About the Electric Road i " . . . . . 7 i -The con an electric road between Here and Asheville would Jbe one; of the very best things which could possibly hap pen. for thi city. It should receive the hearty aupv port of everyone. The men back of the enterprise, are . worthy of every confidence,, and it is strictly a business enterprise. Electric roads have played a prominent part in the develop ment of the rural districts in the north, and the advantages result ing form thi road would be hard to estimate. . - The electric road between here and Asheville is every day assuming more definite shape. C. F. White, treasurer, and J. D. Murphy, president of the com. pany are now interesting Asheville men in that end of the enterprise. It seems that Hendersonville has done its share. According to report the line, would scop on Main street opposite the Court House. . , This surely must bea mistake, as this would hardly be a suitable" stopping place. The line will be 22 miles long, wi,h an hourly freight and passenger service between Hendersonville and Ashe vile. It will run "from the court house", in Hendersonville to Fletcher, t to Arden through Sky land, . to Buena Vista, to South Biltmore, to the Square, in Ashe ville. . It is said Hendersonville men have ad vanced three-fourths of the money needed and would be willing to advance the balance only it is desired to interest both ends in the enterprise. ' , The company proposes to give 5 per cent bonds which will be taken up by the permanent bonds after the road is finished. -While the road is being built the temporary bonds-will be drawing 5 per cent interest. . ' . ' Chautauqua. It is said that over 50 season tickets to Dr. StrouseV Chautauqua for next year have already been sold in Hender sonville. ? 1 - Appreciates The Hustler. H. E. Bennett, of Peblo Beach, Fla., says: l am tasing advantage oi your speciaf 7oc offer. I appreciate your in teresting paper and depend upon it for the news of Hendersonville." . The Presbyterian Church The Presbyterian Synod now in ses sion here has served to call general at. tention to the Presbyterian' church, com. pleted, not so long ago, at a cost of over $10,000. This edifice is undoubtedly one of the handsomest church buildings in the state, and excites universal admir ation. The Presbyterian congregation was organized in 1850, and , the first - church was erected about seven years later. Under'Dr, R.B, Grinnan it has wonder fully widened, its field of work, the con gregation has steadily Increased in numbers, and today worships in- a church which would do credit to a city of 50,000 people, ' ' - -.
