TW shipments Of candy for the Christmas trade received iX the Henderson ville freight depot is six times larger this year than last. The sweet stuff was consigned to the three wholesale grocery houses: the Henderson ville Wholesale Grocery Co. , Slayden- Faykes, and the Calhoun-Wilkins Co. Last year there was but one wholesale ; house here. Now there are three and six times the amount of candy has been sold. This simply means- that Hen- dersonville is THE distributing point for this part of the State. This fact has long been recog nized by those conversant with conditions here, and it is now be coming more plain every day. It was the realization of this important fact which prompted the Clarke Hardware Company to embark in the wholesale hard ware business, and v for whose mmense building on Main street, ground is now being broken. It is of interest, too. in this connection, to note that practi cally all the freight received at Brevard is consigned to Hender- sonville. GET YOUR PENSIONS ! If you are a pensioner of North Carolina call at Judge Pace's office and get your claim. The Judge has them readyfor you the Old North State's Christmas gift to her gallant sons and the widows. ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY. The guests of Sheriff Black- well s popular hotel, becoming tired of hotel life and desiring to dof a little Christmas shopping be fore the stores became too crowd ed, attempted to leave" last Thursday night, about 12 o'clock, without saying goodbye to the Sheriff. Which was mean and ungrateful of them, wasn't it, now? Z. B. Stroup heard the gentle noise of a file, He awak ened the Sheriff. They went outside and both listened, and then they went upstairs. But of course each and every prisoner was sound asleep. My goodness, how sound asleep .they all were, to be sure! Couldn't hardly wake 'em up at all, they were that sleepy. But the Sheriff found three bars filed through, and had not Zeb. Stroup been a light sleeper the hotel would have been as empty as John Grant's campaign promises on Friday morning. The prisoners now sleep in the "cage," from where there is no possibility of escape, and they will not do any Christmas shopping for some time yet. For the very daintiest calendar we have yet seen we are indeb ted to J. F. Seawell, of J Atlanta, who sells insurance he certainly does! Mr. Seawell will be pleasantly remembered here, where he and his charming wife lived some time. The Slayden-Faykes . Co., wholesale t grocers, have pur chased the building now occu pied by the Clarke Hardware Co. The price paid has not yet been made public. It is said to be $6,000. Slayden-Faykes will take possession June 1st. J. R. Goodloe, who came here f romJCincinnati about two years ago, has purchased one of those beautiful houses in Columbia Park recently completed. Mr. Goodloe has regained his health here completely and naturally is an admirer of Beautiful: Hendersonville. DISTRIBUTING pom ABOUT OUR I fought your Christmas fire- crrlekers yet?

Sunday, and- returns Monday evening, and many curious re port were in the mouths of many folks. One that he was married Sunday evening in the city of Asheville, this report having gone its rounds many times,; and in connection that he would re turn Monday evening with his bride. Many of his friends were at the depot to meet him, and ' extend the congratulations and they did it well. He also has many callers on Tuesday morn-" r ing who wish him a Jong and prosperous life and many other good things. The fact that I wish to impress is that he is not married, but only fooled us all and still remains at Govan Hy der's Store, and the main fact is this. There has been many curious reports. One that we are not selling Oranges at 15c rpr dozen, and another that we have no Chnstmas goods. But this is false. We are selling - Oranges at 15c per dozen, Cocoa- nuts, N. Y. Apples, Mixed Nuts, also extra fine line ' Christmas Candies as well as a nice line -of Imported China which we intend one, and that is "not all a nice pair of shoes would not be a bad thing to buy for Christmas as thev are solid leather and wil stand the storms of winter. Have you ever thought of the immense sickness caused by pur chasing cheap leaky shoes. .Buy a good pair when you buy, and keep yourself well, and spread the glad news. Don't forget it,, Govan Hyder sells the Kiser King the best solid leather shoe on earth and we can fit the baby, papa, maw, Johnnie and Jennie. We also want to say we have some nice toys for the children, and at exceptional low prices, some nice decorated lamps for mother and sister, some shaving glasses, razor straps,' soap and brushes, -or father and brother, china cups and saucers for any and all, old and young, large and small. And say boys and men we have just purchased a nice line of up-to-date Hats, yes for the Christmas trade and you would feel a good deal better, and the wheels in your head would run a good deal easier if you take unto yourself one of them for Christmas, and your girl would really love you better, and tell you so to. Grocery heavy and fancy is one of our main lines, and we are daily increasing our trade along this line, especially when people find out we have the best home-made sogrum that Henderson county can produce why you know they are good, Onf lino rvf -faoci stuff nTrnnt be beat. Corn, Oats, Hay, Shorts, Bran, Meals and Hulls. The best flour, prices, are right, and you will find them so if you call on us. We have daily people coming to our store and congratulating us, not only for getting married, but for selling goods lower than than they can be bought else where in the town of Hender sonville, North Carolina. We have witnesses to prove this by cum uiey ctic tiic ucair pcupic ux Henderson county, uome m and see before purchasing, and you will come back. Many thaaks to you for reading this. Wishing you all a merry Christ mas and a happy New Year, : :I am as ever your Friend. GOVAN HYDEY. P. S. Don't forget we have a few sacks of that Salt left at 55c, it's the best money can buy.
