SSE THE GITY
able to get seats. . -
The concise and businesslike - reports
of the advertising committees were
read and adopted without amendment,
after an interesting discussiotf.
The report provides: . For the print
ing of a booklet at a cost of not over
$400. -Definite specifications for the
work was submitted, and it must be an
absolutely first-class piece of work in
every particular.
There are to be no pictures of indi
viduals, illustrations to consist of busi
nesa blocks, scenes, hotels and board-
ng houses. No names are to appear
under the pictures. Only those board
ing houses which pay five dollars for
their illustration are to appear, but in
the back of the book will appear the
name and rates charged by every hotel
and boarding house in townTNo charge
is to be made for this, and EVERY
proprietor of such a ' business . should
send in their name at once to Mr. C. E.
Wilson, chairman-of the committe.
There will be very little reading mat
er in the booklet, being practically all
illustrations. The plates will be the
best money can buy. . r
Other separate pamphlets will deal
with such subjects as the climate, the
resources of the county, letters from
those who have been benefitted by their
stay here, and other matters of interest
to prospective visitors, or home-seekers..
About f 100 will be spent in magazine
advertising from which good results
will undoubtedly follow. A list of the
best mediums has been prepared and
copy sent to them for Insertion. -
The meeting was an interesting .one.

men who have only the best Interests

unity of purpose. John Ii ,Orr, H, S.

truth an ox m m so help you God

I First it's a young feljow with a bloody
bandage around bis head. His name is
Rogers Mel vin Rogers. He says Max
well Frisby struck him with his fist, he
thinks, altho' its hard to see how a bare
fiscould inflict so ugly a wound.
! Frisby, : a young fellow with curly
hair, is called to the stand. The May
or questions him. " "Why did you strike
him?" The answer; "Well, he just
made me mad, a-throwln' oil on me the
way he did." Some more questioning
and then
"Guilty; five and' cost, amounting in
all to $7.45, which is reluctantly paid,
mostly in dimes and quarters and nickels.
; The room is bare and cold and ugly.
Cobwebs are in evidence and the win
dows have not been cleaned for many a
long week. The mayor sits at a plain
little table with two police officers back
of him. On the table are two nasty
leaking guns, taken from a .drunken
prisoner, and to be used as evidence.
The room is full to suffocation, with an
audience which is giving its undivided
attention to the evidence. Prisoners,
witnesses, idlers and sensatloJP seekers
are there. .
i 'Call the next case!'!
The next case is called. Three men,
E. A. Edwards, E. E. Turner, John
Smith, are accused' of being drunk in
Tom Jackson's stable.
There is a slight delay while the May
or sends Zeb Arledge iutoT. M. Smith's
office for a clean blotter..
Turner and Smith plead guilty. Smith,
who talks and smiles easily cays: "Well,
Mayor, I'll tell you how it was. I bought
the whisky In Asheville," etc. etc .
Turner says it's his first offenc and
says "be as lenient with me as you can,
Jndge." . ;? '
"Three and costs.?' This amounts to
r
$7.45 and Smith pullsput a roll of Mils
and pays for both.
E. A. Edwards pleads "not guilty'
and has many witnesses, but His Honor
thinks differently and he is fined the
the same. .
It's dark now. The single electric
light in the room casts monstrous shad
ows upon . the whitewashed walls. The
crowd is thinning out. They are begin
ning to think of their evening meal.
Outside a cold wind is racing down Main
street and is rattling and shaking the
big window at his honor's back. The
stores are bright with lights, and people
are hastening homeward. From some
nearby residence' the faint wailing of a
yiolin is heard Toe court, room is as
cold and dreary and forbidding as ever.
as the Mayor, with maybe a little sigh in
his -voice, says "
"Call the next case!''
A Pretty Good Climate
When Miss Jennie Vail Davis came
here, three years. ago from Alabama,
she weighed 69 pounds and had a tern
perature of 104. with, chills every day.
She now weighs 1131 pounds and is ab
solutely well. ,
This Is what Hendersonville. has dope
for one person.
Miss Davis is now in New York city
visiting relatives. . She is is expected
home, in Hendersonville, on Dec. 1st.
A Popilar Hotel
The Hotel Grates, under the able man
agement of Col. Wm. Hewitt, is enjoy
ing an enviable patronage these days.
' The new and attractive advertising mat
tertbe hotel wiU ; shortly send out will
be well distributed, several thousand
copies wllKbe sent to diff erent .railroads
Jind the effect will be good, for the.botel
and for the town. Mr. Hewitt Is also

Good Advertising and

JMr. A. W. Calhoin, of the Hender
sonville Wholesale Grocery Co., has re
ceived the following letter from Mr.
J. A. Sanden, head of the sales depart
ment of theBlish MillingCo.,of Indiana,
one of the largest corporations of its
kind in the West. In it was an ad cut
from the Hustler to which reference is
made, and is one more instance of how
agood newspaper advertises a pwn.
.Mr. Sandan says:

pictures your town so prettily I think I

-Water Meters.
' - ,
You hear a good deal about water
meters these days, and it is the opinion-
of many of our business men that meters
would go a long way towards solving
a somewhat vexatious problem, which
sooner or later must come before the
people for final settlement. It has been
suggested that were the livery stables,
boarding houses and hotels metered,
they, would pay f or only what water
they actually used, which is proper,
and that possibly a large waste would be
done away with. What do you think
about it?

W,F. Edwards savs that so for as he is
concerned business has never been bet

says it looked as though that prosper

hand to feed the whole county.

Hi Sailor, After Spending
Mvicn Time Irvvestigai ing
Other JLocalities, Believes
No Place Equals this City
Editor Hustler: I attended the
ast meeting at the court house when
the question of how best to inducerpec-
pie to come to Hendersonville was dis-
and 1 wish to say that I think
none of the speakers lilt the nail squar
ely on the head. In the first place south
ern people are not going to come here
in the winter at all for a winter climate,
and northern people will not come for
the benefit of a winter climate except it
be to find relief from Asthma, Bron
chitis, Catarrh, or some of the incipient
or advanced stages of Tuberculosis.
Now I think the best way is to recom
mend Hendersonyille highlv to' both
northern people and southern people
alike aa the finest climate to be found
for an all the year residence for both
. - . - f
northern and southern people alike.
And this we can do honestly and truth-
ully for 1 know it to be a' fact from a
long and careful personal investigation
of a large portion of the southern states
during a period of more than two years
that there is no place further south in
the United States where so fine a sum
mer climate can be found than right
here while the winters her are much
milder than in any of the northern
states where the heat of summer is as
great as it is here; and in very many of
them it is very much: greater. -Take
for instance such states as Illinois, In
diana, Ohio, Pen n.. Kentucky, Virginia.
Maryland and West Virginiaand such
cities as New. York, Philadelphla,Balti-
more and Washington. In all of which
states and cities the mercury frequently
indicates 100 degrees or more in the
shade, while here bv careful observ-
atiod 1 noticed.it did not go above 87
degrees last summer except in yery ex
posed places. ,
Now it is not convenient to b3 all the
time migrating like the birds, and be
sides it is very expensive; and. many
people cannot afford to do so; and as by
coming hither from the low hot local
ities of the south, people can enjoy a
delightful summer, they can afford to
have a little colder winter by staying
all the year, as the discomfort or a
slightly colder winter are not . to be
compared with the stupefying and de
bilitating- effects of a- hot climate in
summer. Ana me -normwu
haye everything to gain and nothing ' to
lose by coming here, as they get a mild
er winter, and a delightful summer cli-
