Editor Hustler; The Hustler stated last Week that I had tendered my resignation as super intendent of the Graded Schools. This resignation does not take effect until the close of this year, of course. Since some have asked me if we were going immediately, I shall be glad if you will make the statement more explicit. This will close our seventh year 1b Hendersonville, and in a more delight ful climate and among a more apprecia tive and congenial peogle and children, I never again expect to live and to work. I have accepted the"position of principal of the New Bloom field Aca demy, New Bloomneld. Pa. an old established co-education school, at a salary that I could not be expected to refuse in the interest of 'myself and amlly. , The people of , Hendersonville have always given us hearty support. The school has grown from year to year, we have enrolled this year 416 pupils, the largest since the establishment of the city graded schools in 1901. : 1 am devoted to the many boys and girls who have leen in our school. Many of them now are young men and young ladies. With few exceptions, all have been respectful, kind and consid erate, very apt to learn; and I wish for them a happy and successful future, WhAn I leave the beautiful city of Hendersonville-which I have learned to love so well and for whose hoys and girls I have tried to do my best, It will be with a sad heart, because I have made myself one among you, have been inter a . ested in the growth and development of Hendersonville, have beennade to feel, by those " who have overlooked , my faults t.fco.t ttiv labors have not been in vain. I n,- believe me, . - sincerely yours, Bh M. Ivtns, Isheville's told Brick - Some little time ago, the .-W.ieville Citizen, with glad acclaim, a .aouoced that the famous Alonzo Kimball, nae of the greatest Illustrators of this country had taken up his residence in that city and would open an engraving plant there, which would be one more good thing for Asheville and would "also add somewhat to that village's fame, as being the home of a famous artist. But', dear, dear, 'twas only one more gold brick and Asheville certainly- has had her share it looks, almost, as tho she stood around with her mouth open waiting to swallow 'em if so beautiful a figure of speech may be permitted.. It wasn't the real Alonzo Kimball only an imitation, one who had spent part of last summer in Hendersonville,. who painted those pretty signs on Von derLiieth's famous ice cream parlor win dows, "who drew advertising posters for the minstrel show in aid of the Chau tauqua, wno stood up with Mr. Von der Lieth at a certain banquet at the Hotel Gates and sang so prettily that night when the lights went out. So Asheville took Alonzo to its bosom it asked no questions, and Alonzo had the entree, to use a Greek phrase, into the best homes. He sang at All Souls and other fashionable churches,and was, in a word, the whole bakery shop. And now he's gone. And the Citizen wires to New York, at last, and gets word from the real alonzo Kimball that he never, never, never, had been in Asheyllle and didn't expect to, either. And some people are just wondering if the imitation Alonzo fooled" Asheville or if Asheville just fooled itself? Unless Asheville gets the Legislature to appoint a guardian Ior It, you may expect t see items like -the following appear in its daily papers; - 'A man representing himself as being Mr. F. A. K Qreengoods, " the world famous capitalist, came to town yester day and sold seven solid gold bricks to Patton avenue merchants before 11 o'clock. It appears now that the bricks were only plated, but Mr. Greengoods has left town." "A prosperous looking gentleman, re presenting himself as being J. Pierpont Morgan,, came into : the . Citizen office yesterday and asked us totash a check for a million dollars.' Being anxious , to oblige so distinguished a strao ger we did f so, and now find the check was no good. The police were notified, and nex t reek they' intend putting the bloodhound 'Hope' on the stranger's track. In the meantime we are short of change." "A well dressed stranger came to town yesterday, and registered at the Battery Park. He says ' he owns the unfinished Smith Hotel and intends selling it to some local capitalists, . who will finish the building, and who are ready to close the deal," Went Fishing J. H. Lollis. of the Blue Ridge Inn, and Logan Pace, same place, went fishing last Monday.

A Call-to 'Every PreacherMarch . Temperance Month. Dear Brethren: The livest question before the people of North Carolina to day is that of Prohibition. It is the talk in the homes, In the stores and shops and on the farms and highways. The good day of an aroused public conscience on the liquor question has come more largely through the work pf the preachers than through any other cause. And now that the Issue is square ly drawn before the people, I am sure that our preachers will make the next three months busy ones in. the fight to protect the homes and churches, and schools of the State from their greatest enemy, the liquor traffic. . ' The preachers hold the key to the sit uation. By their yisiting through the week and by their sermons on Sunday they can reach and Influence the peo ple of the State as no other class of men 1600 REWARD ! It is said that rewards aggregating $1600 have been offered for the arrest of Lee Fisher who shot and killed R. F. W. Allstoo, In cold blood, at Tryon last Friday evening. The Tryon Hosiery Company offers $500; the widow $500; the sheriff $100; and Governor Glenn will undoubtedly offer a reward also, how -much is not known, but probably not less than $500, making a total of $1600 for the capture of the murderer. It appears that Fisher rode up to the office of the Tryon Hosiery Co. at Lynn. There : were . several men around the building, among them being Allston. Fisher had been working for Allston for several years and had bought a home from him. ' Mr. Allston said, "Fisher, why aren't you working in the vineyard?" Fisuer replied, it Is said, by calling Allston a vile name and threatening to Bhoot, when Allston said "Shoot, then." Fisher drew and fired, the bullet passing in just above the heart. ' Mr. Allston lived for 55 minutes. Fisher, who had not dismounted from his mule, rode off, no one endeavoring to stop him. It is said he started to Saluda to surrender himself, but changed his mind and is now lying out in the moun tains, some people think in the Lake Toxaway region. The murdered man was well known in Hendersonville. He was a valuable citizen and his death is a severe loss to the community. vT. Tax Payers Notice to Tbe-Tix Payers of Hen dersonville. Owing to the fact that I find that a great number of tax payers of Hendersonville- have failed to pay their taxes dow due, and owing to the fact that I am obliged to make- my settlements as the law requires, you will ..take notiee that on the 31st day of March, 1908, 1 will advertise for sale and levy upon all property of delinquent tax payers, and Advertise and sell the same for their taxes, if they do not settle the same promptly before that date. This is a last and a final notice, and the levies will be made in accordance herewith.
