Below are a few answers to the prob
lem: VWh'y. Bachelors Should" Marry."
We are pained to see this serious matter
discussed in a spirit of levity and persi
flage.' A bachelor is a serious animal.
He's different from his happily married
brother. His view-point is different and
jou should never approach' a bachelor
without first stirring him' up with a
long pole to see whether he is danger
oui or not.
Here is an additional list of bachelors
and we dont see how we came to over
look them they are such dears, all of
'em!

their sessions"on Friday last. The visl
tinsr ministers and laymen were all taken
care of by the hospitable people of the
townj and tbey all seemed to be very
favorably impressed with the city. ;
Dr. R. B. Grinnan was an extremely
busy man during the week. It was due
to Dr. Grin nan's efforts that the. Synod
came to Hendersonville, an honor which
is generally appreciated by our r people
To Dr. Grinnan and those hospitable
and kindly folks who opened wide . their
doors for the entertainment of these
gentleman, a vote of thanks is due. ' "
The Synod previous to adjournment,
adopted the' following resolution: '

What's in the Piper About You ?"
Pr. William Redin Kirk tells this
little story: ''';- J -
UI was iu San Francisco, several years
ago. Walking down Market street, one
night, I noticed a ragged little newsboy
with a bundle of unsold newspapers, it
was rainingj and' the night was cold

electric lights the boy's face looked wan
and dejected, and as he turned his. great

might call "near-bachelors." Now
there's W. A. Keith, of the Wholesale

As to Judge Gullick, we are told he
it a doomed man. . His fate is sealed.
Nothing but a trip to Florida can save
him. Judge Gullick has been picked

know of and the Judge wants to know
what he's going to do about it? Cheer

THE .BACHELOR'S BULLETIN.;
Of The Hustling Hustler
Why bachelors should marry?
Oh, that's as plain as day;
It's the only plan by which the man
Can keep the girls away.
Though you're homely as a Hoodoo, .
With neither health nor wealth.
Some spinster love will claim her own,
And 6teal you off by stealth.
Why bachelors should marry?
Does'nt Mister Roosevelt say?
Should you tarry hopes miscarry,
For Graces, too, grow gray; '
And the yearning Soul that hankers
For" the gifts that Hymen gleans,"
Wants his dearest just the nearest
To a lassie rrrin herteens.
Mr. Editor: In the name of the .con
gregation of the Presbyterian church, I
wish very heartily to than i be Kina
friends of Hendersonville who, witn
such true hospitality, assisted iu enter
taining the delegates to the Synod of
North Carolina. Very truly,
V R. B. Grinnan.

Over four thousand votes cast in fav
or of the bonds and but 25 against. The
majority, cannot be definitely stated
until the board of canvassers go over the
registration books.
Buncombe did very well, indeed, and
we are inclind to be rather proud of htr.
She has proved to be an apt pupil and
she certainly deserves another railroad
for her good conduct, and Old Hender
son will see that she gets it, so she will!
And Polk came across in noble style ,
too. It was sweeping victory there, the
majority being something like 400.
Buncombe's action ' assures the con
struction of the road.-. 'Work will begin
not later than JanJ 1, 1&08, and will be
pusbe'd as rapidly as possible. . . ; v
Most of the stores' were closed and the
town had the appearance of Sunday.
The st le windows were covered with
admonitions to vote for the bonds, and
they evidently did. Good organization
hard work and a desire for a a com
peting road is shown by the vote.
Says the 'steemed Citizen:
"An impression which contributed to
the success cf the bonds was that Hen
derson count? had given 1200 majority
for its $50,000 bonds. : A number of peo
pie declared it would, never do to let,
was no 1200 majority in Henderson, the
1200 being the number of votes cast for
the bonds and it corresponds with the
number cast in this county for the
bonds . The committee feels that Hen
derson's action was a great help."
(Now, alnt that real mean? No 1200
majority!)
"Buncombe saw Henderson's lead and
'went it one better. ' It was a hard clip
to follow, but Bumcombe had on her
running shoes. - T . -

gine of the Appalachiaalnterurban railway.-

that megaphone message returned with
a few votes added. :
''Is Buncombe progressive? ' Well, ,
rather. - Look at the vote!'
"In the glorious path cut out by Hen
derson county, Buncombe and Polk
have followed. It remains now;, for
Transylvania and .Haywood to complete v
the procession of progress and enter
prise, and that they will do bo no one
can doubt.
"Incidently it might be remarked that .
the newspapers ef Buncombe, Hender
son and Polk have illustrated the fact
that there is little that can withstand a
combined press. Risking the appear-,
ance of boasting, it can be stated that
without the strenuous work of the pa
pers in the counties mentioned there
might have been a different story to
tell." - '
A bachelor should marry, because God
has said, that "It is not good that wan Wfa bachelor AooM marry
hould be alone" . To marry will make Who can doubt thg reason whvy ,
