Horse Shoo
Somewhere Id the annals of the by
gone, the horseshoe was conceived to be
the mystic emblem of good lack; and
today we occasionally see hanging upon
the -ceiling of a few of the careful deni
zens of our country, this thing of safety
to the house, carefully sheathed in deli
cate colors as an earnest of their faith.
But the origin of this name of our Til
age and surrounding section is more
geographical than artificial. Some two
miles above the village. French Broad
river is deflected from a direct course
by the knobs and boulders of Horse
Shoe mountain, and being pressed south?
weswardly and then northeastwardly,
flows in a curve resembling the letter U,
and ' heBoe the name "Horse Shoe."
But barring the virture in a name, let
us see what favor comes to us as a peo
ple: Within and occupying the entire
curvature of the river lies the alluvial
Horse Shoe form, owned by Hon. A,
Gannon, and so scientifically and sue
cessfully operated by himself and son,
W. A. Cannon, as to give to us. by ap
pointment from the Governor of the
state, Mr. Cannon as a member of the
Board of Agriculture for North Caro
lina. Then, finding an exit through
the beel of this horseshoe bend and step,
ping across the river, we End ourselves
in the home of our ova congenial sheriff,
Bob, who with his pleasaut family and
widow of the lamented J. ' L. Freeman
has become a valued addition to our
burg. Let the boys take notice and
keep straight.
Milton Allen owns the old homestead
of his grandfather, the late R. W. Alien,
and by his industry and good citizenship
promises to be prototype to the former
kowner.
Henry W. Allen is our successful ship
per and member of the county finance
committee in lieu of the late Capt. B. T.
Morris.
Recrossing the river on a substantia)
iron bridge, we are on the streets and
walks of the village, where we find two
new church buildings with an ongan-
ized church in each offering Sunday
school and pre act leg facilities to all
who appreciate and to all who ignore
these blessings; then parents around
Horse Shoe, whether they will or not,
are making a record for themselves and
children by their actions, which will be
read in the lives of future generations.
The success of our merchants here
and their indispensable advantages to
their many customers need no comment.
The latest sign of thrift observable is
a completed telegraph line extending
from James Long's dwelling all the way
to the residence of Silas Case.
Mr. T. 3. Shipman and wife are visit-

A Correction.
Editoe Hustler I received let
ter the other day irom a newspaper
man of Chicago who in passing through
Hendersonville wanted to see me, but
was told that our house was cloeed on
account of scarlet ferer and I was not
risible.
As this was an absolutely false report,
t want to as if you would do me the fa
vor of contradicting it for me in your
local news items.
The truth of the matter is thac Heidel
burg House has been temporarily closed
for the last month on. account of the
Holiday season and for general repairs,
cleaning up, etc. It is now open.
I have had one single mild case of
scarlet! na in my family not three cases,
as was reported, which never was se
riouaaBd is long out again. It occurred
in a small cottage outside, at least 200
varda awav from the house, not in the
ar
main house at all, and had nothing
to do with its closing. The cottage and
entire premises have been thoroughly
disinfected after the most approved
manner. Having made a number of
original investigations iuto the charac
ter and use of disinfectants for the New
York Health Department, upou which
in founded the practical application of
formaldahyl especially in disinfecting
rooms, I should know how to perform
the operation. And no more cases
have occurred here, either in my own
family or on the premise -
