FO D 0VER4UTL00K &1EETI THURSDAY Citizens Will Meet At Court Mouse To-BJight at 7.30, to a vise Ways of Advertising Town.. The'yRemembr ILast Season. SpainliourP Anderson, .Williams, Smithy will -TeJlt. - There will be a public meeting at the court house tonight(Thurs- day) to devise ways and means of advertising Hendersonville. There will be good, short snap py speeches. All indications point towards a record-breaking gathering of Hendersonville's public spirited citizenship. Hendersonville must go aheod or backward. It can not remain stationary. The business men of the city have looked the situation in the face. They don't like it. They have decided to change it. They are going to make this change at the meeting tonight and you want to be there and see how it's done. It is generally admitted now that Hendersonville is in danger of running down at the - heel. The tourist business last sea son didn't quiet measure up to expectations. Not by a grea deal. Next season it's going to be still worse unless something is done and done almighty quick, too. " If you have any kind of inter est whatever in your home town, coine-to this meeting. Don't stay away and then tell one, another that "Oh, yes, I know how it is. It's one or two men who have engineered this thing, and they'll get all the ben efit from it. Reckon I'll stay here by the fire and let the other fellow do the work-" Be. there yourself and if you don't like the way things are managed, say so. But don't stay away and criti cise the others tor doing the best they, know how. Thit is YOUR town. It's to YOUR interest to have a record breaking crowd here next sum mer. It's to YOUR interest that Hendersonville becomes as well known as Asheville. It's to YOUR interest that you at tend this meeting and give the meeting the benefit of YOUR best judgement and advice J If you eon't come, for pity's sake don't say anything about it afterwards. Hendersonville has advan tages as a resort which places it in a class by itself. It has cliniatic advantages pe culiar to itself, and possessed by no other resort. It is the prettiest mountain city anywhere. People come here, go away for some reason or other and then come back. There's Hume Harris. He sold the Belmont Cafe. Went to Brevard. Came back and stopped the writer in the middle of Main street and spoke thusly: "I tell you, there's no town anywhere" like Hendersonville. I knowj' v Then there's Mr. and Mrs. Grant who sold their home to the Misses Miles, of Flat Rock, who have spent many thousands ot dollars improving the place. They left here. Went North. Went to England. Traveled most everywhere. And tomor row, the 15th,they arrive in little old Hendersonville again. They are going to stay here this time, too. ," Then ask the new people here what they think of this town. Ask them about its climate Its schools. Its churches. Its natural beauty. Its hospitality. Just ask them and see what they say, But whatgood does it do us to possess these advantages unless the outside world knows of them too? -- And how will they know any thing about it unless you tell them? And how are you going to tell them? That's just exactly what this meeting this Thursday night is for. . . And if you are making your living in this community as a merchant, a lawyer, a doctor, a mechanic, if you keep a hotel or boarding house, if you are mak ing your living here, in short, it is your duty to attend this meeting. If you decide that you have not enough interest in your home town to devote a couple of hours' time to. her and to your interests, why don't say anything about it afterwards. 'j ... . ' Xhe opportunity. is here, Seized now it will lead to a great er prosperity for till. Neglected, and you have but yourself to blame, and when next summer comes you will bave plenty of time to sit around and say "I told you so." This Thursday night, at the Court House, at 7.30,and it don't cost a cent. . - Think of the millions spent in Switzerland by touriit and sight seers! And Switzerland has no more beautiful scenery than Hen derson county. So said Judge Alton B. Parker and many other competent people agree 'with him. f Episcopal Schools Henry Clay Mitchel, of Cincinnati, is now in charge of the Episcopal School of the Transfiguration, at Bat Cave. Mrs. Mitchel, his mother, is with him for the time being. , This is one of the four schools in Dr. R. N, Wilcox's jurisdiction. The one at Edney vllle has an enrollment of 35 now. It generally reaches 75. The one at Arden has 100 students; Upward, 50; Bat Bave. 25. All are flourishing and prospering and are doing great work in the cause of education. THE BACHELORS CONTEST ENDED The Bachelor contest Is ended and awards will be made next week. Lack of space prohibits printing many answers received this week. Editor Hustler The Foolish Dic tionary defines a bachelor as .follows: "Bachelor. From Latin bac.ulua" a stick, uuattached. Hence any lady may. stick, stick to, and get stuck on.' Please send me check for two dollars. Subscriber, Editor Hustler Here is one reason why a bachelor should NOT marry. Man proposes, then women imposes.' Bach. Safety Gates Needed at the Depot. There is so much travel across the ' Southern tracks at the depot that safety gates are now absolutely" necessary, there. So many narrow escapes frcm death and injury have occured, that it's plainly the part o .common sense to com pel the railroad company to put modern ' safety gates -thjr immediately, - b2r some serious accident does occur. City Council Proceedings City Council in regular session Thurs day evening purchased one thousand feet of fire hose of the Eureka Hose Company. . Four more electric arc lights will be put into commission on December first. One will be on corner of Fleming Ave. and Bamberg street near Dr. Eubanksjj one near Browns ctable on Aspen street; one near Mrs Scotts, on Locust street and the other von Anderson Ave., at Second street, near the Baptist Mission Church. 'South West Hendersonville'' will probably be granted a four inch water main as $590 was subscribed toward ex pense of putting water into this develo ping part of the city. City Counci gave water committee power to act if advisable. ' City Council also granted ex-Sheriff Rhodes clayn of $800.00 for fines that should have gone to him from school fund during yoars of 1902 to date. tm Lum Hyder, bachelor, is open to most any proposition looking towards matri mony. Lum has $300 in cash and a new suit of clothes. . re you &hanlifulToo9 This THAJVKSGIVIJG9 Last Thanksgiving we published many reasons from many people why they were thankful, But what's the use this Thanksgiving? We ail know some of the reasons why we should be thankful. We are thankful that the new steam road is to be bnilt and that the electric road will soon be under way. Both these great enterprises will put tens of thousands of dollars in circulation in Henderson oounty. ' We are thankful that the farmers have had good crops and that the thousands of dollars sent out of the county for feed stuff last winter will remain at home this year. We are.thankful that the .financial cloud hovering over other parts of this country has not settled down in Hen derson, and we are heartily thankful that our banking institutions are in the f hands of safe, sane and conservative men, We are thankful for the moral and physical well-being of the community. We are thankful that the poles are out of Main street and that thty won't go back, leaving the finest street in the world free from obstructions. We are thankful for the blue skies, the warm sun and the health-laden breeze and this wonderful climate which restores the ill and keeps the well strong. - We are thankful for so many, things we just can't think of them all, so what's the use of going - around and asking people what they're thankful for? So far as the Hustler is concerned it's thankful for an increased and quite healthy circulation, thank you mam, for a good business, for bright prospech?," and the confidence of its home folks. So there, now! - - I s t f p
