The , Red Men paraded Main street Tuesday night, on foot and tm bronchos from the Wild West They bore torches and had a band and a thousand peo ple witnessed the spectacle. After burning a pale face they all went to the Auditorium Thea tre where fhey witnessed a most excellent show by the Five Sedgc wicks who are five artists. The big. building was packed and1 the crowd was enthusiastic Misses Eugenia and Helena Hart, of Spartanburg, are in the city for the summer, stopping with Mrs. W. A.

A parasite of some kind has at tacked many of those beautiful trees on Main street and in other portions of the town, and as a re sult some of the trees are injured, two, in front of Postmaster Jack son's, already being dead.

Harie Wilkins, ' the 20-months- old. child of Jno. T. Wilkins, Jr., reached too far after a flower, last dayj an4 pitched headlong from the third-story of her home onWestr Ajemy Street An awning stretched from a ground iloor window broke her fall and saved her -from instant death, and she now lies with a broken thigh, encased in a plaster cast, ajn,?st patient little sufferer in deed '-. H s ' ' r; ;The child was playing with her companions in the third floor of herparent's residence, when she wandered off into another room. Leaning from a window she dropped a flower she was carry ing and reaching too far after it fell to the ground. Drs. Drafts and Waldrop were called and it is hoped the child will suffer no permanent injury from her ex perience. Save The Juice! Turn off your electric lights early! Be as economical and as saving as you know how for the next few days, for Big Hungry is angryjand is tearing, through the mountains, a. ramming, swol len"boisterous torrent,3 sweeping all before it ' The electric light t company urges its patrons to use as little current for the next few days as possible for they are depending entirely on their steafn plant for power. v ' :' At the company's plant on Big Hungry, the river has eaten a great hole in the mountain at the side of the dam, hai broken the headgate from its stem and it now lies at the bottom of the run, un der 22 feet of water, i closing the flume entirely ahd shutting off all water from the turbine wheels. The great volume of water in the Tiver makes spillway and flood- lstes inadequate to carry . it. off and the resevoiE cannot bedrain ed and the gate replaced until the river abates its fury. The oldest residents along the jiver; say they have never seen it so far above its banks before, and owing to these conditions it wil be impossible to repair the dam age until the river falls. In the meantime the company must de pend entirely on its steam plant in town and asks its patrons, for once, to use as little juice as pos sible. ' This is the first serious acci dent at the company's plant on Big Hungry since its construction and every effort is being made to repair the damage as fast as possible.

Law, will hold their third annual picnic at Lau rel ; Park on JuneJ 19th. The members ;o this Sunday School have so7 eni joyed themselves by J visiting our town for ,the two last years they have decided that there is no place like Laurel Park for a picnic and are coming again this season. As our growing town is so largely pat ronaged by our South Carolina neighbors who have been so courteous to Mr. Laws' Sunday School they seem to have fallen n love with the place. V. Warnfflfl to the Farmers ! The farmers of Henderson county have thousands of dollars invested in their potato crop. The potato bugs are doing heavy damage all over the county now, and unless stopped may ruin the crop. , ' The very best method of fight ing the bugs is to make a mix ture of the following solution'and sprinkle the vines liberally, either with an old broom, a sprayer or a garden watering can. This is the recipe for the mixture which will finish Mr. Potato Bug. ' : One-half pound of Paris green. One pound of lime. Fifty gallons, of water. Use it NOW! "V'v.. -.

MED RIERS ' TSCITY The Hendersonville postoffice receipts for May show an in crease of nearly 38 per cent over the same month last year The receipts are now sufficient to give the town free city de- -livery of your mail, at your home, twice a day, by uniformed mail carriers. Before the government, how eyer; will give the town free dev livery, every house must be num bered and all side streets put in to good condition. - ' .? ; This is for the city authorities to look after, and certainly there is no more important matter for" their Consideration.
