It is the most up-to-datr, en terprising and : interesting paper I know of and if it expresses the spirit of your town, you must be growing rapidly. Yours respectfully F. M. STEARNS. The Sidew&lk -Proposition The city fathers meet next Thursday, February 6, when the sidewalk proposition will come up jain. It is thought now that a cement walk one-half the width of the present walk, outside the district between the Court House and Broad street, would be about the right thing. The walk may also be laid on Main street beyond Anderson ave nue to the end of the pavement. Iu that case it would be on one side of the street only, or if laid on both sides that beautiful bank of houeysuckle in front of the Rhet property would have to to destroyed. At. present the walk does not extend beyond St. James church. In front of the Wheeler Hotel aud the Rhet property, the high bans: has ; never ; been cut away. Largest Circulation in The County This paper has the largest circu lation of any paper in the county, and will soon have the largest in the tenth congressional district. Circulation books are open to all interested. The 7o-cent rate is withdrawn on February 1st; after that date it is one dollar per year. Subscribers iu arrears will be cut off with this issue, and other means of collection will be found. We draw attention to our ad vertisersall absolutely reliable merchants, who find in this paper the best medium of talking to many thousands of readers. Will Occipy Store house recently va cated by R.. P. Free man. Mr. W. Cilrnes, formerly of Hen derson County, but who has, for the past five years, been a resident of Pitts burg, Pa , has returned to Henderson ville and leased the store - formerly oc cupied by B. P, Freeman for so manyl years, on Anderson Ave., near the de pot. Mr. Cairnes is well known in this county and is a practical and ezper enced man in merchandising. He will open his store on Feb. t with an excellent and well assorted stuck of general merchandise, and feels confident of his ability to. serye his friends and customers .in a way which will insure their permanent patronage. He will handle country produce of all kinds at market prices, and his well assorted stock of goads, being all new, clean and desirable, will be sold at the lowest prices possible consistent with .good goods. Mr. Cairnes invites his friends to call and see him on the opening day, Febru ary 7th, and feels confident he can make it to their advantage to patronize him. t I will furnish the seed, or plants, cab bage seeds,, potatoes. Fertilizer, and wait till you grow your crop and han dle your crop for the debt. G. O. Hydxr. There were 75 guests registered at the Blue Ridge Inn for the week ending Sunday, Jan. 26th. Twouldn't be a bad idea to admit some of Hendersoaville's clever women to msmbershlp in the Board of Trade Having jurisdiction over the ginger jar they would be in a position to supply the one element that seeme to be lacking in that body. After much talk, a contract has baen let to T. W. Valentine for a hundred dollars' worth of printing advertising for which competitive ' bids :,wtre secured from Asheville. It seems to be fashionable for even the BOARD OF TRADE to go to Asheville. Possibly the Asheville people, if they secured the contract, would come right back to Heaclersonville on the first electric car, and spend the money right here in Hendersonville. among the merchants who compose the board of trade, and who are largely putting up the money for the work. And then again maybe that money would stay right in Asheville. The impriatof an Asheville firm on Hendersonville advertising would a so help same of course! And the Board of Trade's example helps the local merchants, too maybe. This is the limit of absurd Inconsistency Judging from the length of some of the articles to appear in this pamphlet, t will take, not a 16 -page pamphlet, but a 118 page, to hold them all. As it Is proposed to put this on cheap psper which will NOT carry half-tone pictures-in a creditable manner, 'it is doubtful just what benefit will be de rived from its publication, as people have neither time nor desire to wade thro' a lot of talk when that talk is not helped oat by good, well-printed illus trations. what this town needs is m handsomely printed booklet, with many goed illus trations, and SHORT, snappy articles, not a sermon on each of tbe various to plcs'It Is desired to toooh upon. ' : - " Tha town will probably be asked to expend $3C0 of tbe tax payer's money on this advertising campaign of the board of trade. The business men have been asked to contribute the balance. v Many hare so contributed, and then again many haven't. It Is hoped this large sum ' of money will be expended in . a manner which ill bring RE-iULTS. The matter was, first agitated way back yonder. The well attended mass meeting, which was brought about very largely by the efforts of this paper, which flooded the streets for days previous with announcements of tbe meeting, and for which printing no bill has vr been rendered the board of trade, first brought tbe matter to the public atten tion. Up to the present time no advertising matter has been issued of any impor ance. To be effective it should be at the different points for . distribution hot ater than March first. . The idea is to get RESULTS from this money not to have a lot of pretty souvenirs to distribute among people who are already here next season. As the matter now stands, a contract has been entered into tor a 16-page pamphlet, and estimates are being se cured from printing firms outside this city for & larger pamphlet of illustra tions. The last, and only book of views of the city was printed at the Hustler of fice. Whatever its faults in some respects mT have been, its mechanical excel lence has neyer been questioned. Narrow Esca.pe From Death ! James Hyder, while driving a pair of mules to town last Friday morning, was struck by a tree, blown over by the ter rific wind, and has a fractured 6kull. One mule was instantly killed and the other was uninjured. Had the young man had ' been a few feet further along the road, the trunk of the tree would have crushed and kil led him. As It was the heavy bowa only reached him. He Is a son of William Hyder, and was taken to Dan Henderson's house, near where the accident occurred on the road to Sugar Loaf Mountain. Dr. Egerton waa called, ' and unless some complication sett in the injured man will recover Toxawety Line May Change . It is rumored that the Southern will throw. up its 50-year lease of the Toxaway line, and that that road will revert to the Transylva nia Railway Co. In that case the train would probably stop at Hen dersonville and not go on to Ashe ville, as at present. ; r Practically the 'same company owns both the railroad and the hotels and land at Lake Toxaway. ' v. The Toxaway hotels will proba bly open in April this year, in stead of later in the season. ; It is said the Toxaway Company will operate its hotels direct, instead of through lessees, and that no ex pense will be spared iu its man agement. . . Tenth District Executive Committee The republican - executive com mittee for the tenth district met in Asheville, last Saturday. . J. Williams was in the-chair and A. G. Dewees, of Murphy, secretary. A congressional - convention was called for March 14 to nominate a congressman. The county con vention to . choose delegates will meet March 7. The convention on March 14 will select two dele gates to Chicago. Taft was en dorsed by the committee Seventeen Thois&.nd Dollars Cashier King Morris, of the First National Bank, has just re ceived a valuable package by U. S, registered mail. It was a little trifle of $17,000 in : bright new ten-dollar bills. The money is received from Uncle Sam in sheets of five. These are first signed by the cashier and president of tbe bank, and are then cut up into single bills when they are ready to put into circula tion. The First National Bank returns all old and torn currency to Wash ington, where it is destroyed. rrnnrmnmm mmnmimm 10 Ago PostofficeReceipts 2,6 19. 00 From J une, 1906, to June. 1907, They Were $ 9,000. 00 !Ten years ago the postoffice re ceipts were $2,619.00. 7 This past year they $9,000.00 lacking a few cents. This from June 1906, to June 1907, and the figures are official, being taken from Postmaster Jack son's report just forwarded to the Washington authorities. The present law requires $10, 000 annual Teceipts before free de livery may be established in any city. A law now pending will probably reduce that amount to $5,000. As soon as free delivery is se cured, the towu stands an excel lent chance for a $40,000. federal building, Congressman Crawford says. If you want free delivery and a fine federal building, you should write the postoffice department at Washington , petitioning for free delivery. , , ; , . IIUIUUIIIIUIU iimuuuuiuu . . Why? ;..- ; A business man .of Charlotte, who comes here frequently, says a railroad ticket, over the same line, costs 56 cents r more from here to Charlotte than from t ... Charlotte to Hendersonville. W otter Enough - - For w Bath .. The minimum charge for water, with meters, will be 60 cents a month, with a discount if paid by a certain date, mak ing it 60 cents net. This entitles you to 2,500 gallons per month. r " - - - Some people are afraid they will have to reduce the number of baths taken' but as it only takes about If gallons of water for such a purpose, this will hardly be necessary. The meters cost $9.15. The user pays the whole cost 25 per cent ' down and si.uo each month untilpaid for. R. M. Gates will have charere of read ing tbe meters and making out the bills, ror this be will be paid $10 per month a very reasonable, not to say low re muneration. The clerical work alone will be great. It has been -"rumored" that he would be paid $50 per monrh. This absurd. of . course. He will receive $10 . per montn. There are about 350 water consumers In town. . The Weather. The terrific storms which have been swee ing over the country have been felt to a certain extent in Henderson I county. The gentle zephyrs ' took the tin off the elty market house, blew down signs uprooted trees and almost blew, the cu pola of the court house over Into Ruther ford county. It did blow open a trap door in it which Bwung back and smash ed a skylight in the cupola. ' Tbe exceptionally cold weather . also made work for the plumber. Many wa ter faucets were frozen, and much suffer ing has prevailed. While not to be eompared with, the weather which has been handed out to other less favored sections of the coun try, the brand being used here for a few dajs was extremely unpopular, the only redeeming feature being that the sun was bright and the skies cloudless 'most all the time. A New Bank The Wanteska Trust & Banking Co., formerly the Wanteska Trust Co., will be ready to transact a general banking business, receive deposits, etc., oc Mon day next. W. A. Smith, is president; Claude Brown, vice-president, and P. F. Pat ton secretary and treasurer. Mr. Patton will be cashier. The new Lank will start with very flattering prospects of prosperity. The gentlemen named as officers are well known here, their ability is known and unquestioned, and Hendersonville again has two strong banking institutions.' For Saie at Public Outcry! A line residence on P&rk avenue, just oat of town, less than two miles from Main street. ; - The owner of the G m. Guice place, about nine acres, beautiful elevation, fine grove, splendid, water, unequalled situation, is going to Virginia, and to go must sell.aod sell at once.To accomp lish this, he has authorized the wan teska Trust Company to advertise and sell same to the highest bidder at. the court house door, in Hendersonville, on Saturday, February 15th, 1908, together with household and kitchen furniture sufficient for eight-room bouse. Sale to commence at 11 a. m. and to continue until all Is gone. Terms cash. Purchaser can arrange to carry a part of the purchase prioe of real estate, if he desires. Remember that this property when put up, will go to the bidder. No by bidders. . Everything straight goods. An examination of this old picturesque, park-like homestead will excite your admiration. See it and then be at the sale. ! , . The wanteska Trust Company. Rural Routes. ' Postmaster Jackson desires to call at- tontlnn t.n tha nrn.nt.inn of some natron! of rural delivery of placing loose coins in their boxes eacn time iney desire to dis patch letters in stead of supplying them selves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the ser vice of their routes. The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs.. It is also very desirable ihat rural patrons place in their mail boxes smad detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps.
