OXlu DOLLAR PER YEAR io be of mm STONE, BRICK AHB RE-IKFORCED Edwards & Blythe, the Suc cessful Bidders, to Have Building Completed By Next June, The contract for the Peoples National Bank's new building has been given to Edwards & Blythe. The contract price is $25,000 and the two-story and basement building is to be com pleted by June 1, 1910. Smith & Carrier of Asheville are the architects, and their plans call for a most beautiful building indeed, which, when completer, Mr. Smith believes will be the handsomest banking quarters, owned by any bank, in the State. The front of the building will be of brown stone and pressed brick, while the extensive use of re-inforced concrete throughout the entire building will render it absolutely fire-proof. r The architects' plans reveal a solid and imposing' front. "The bank itself is in the 'cAteridll building, with store ropms, each 24 x 100 feet, on either side. The most striking feature of the building, -possibly, is the ent rance to the bank itself, which is through a portico flanked on either side by great massive col umns, two of stone and two of brick. Immediately over the en trance is a beautifully designed window, reaching almost to the top of the building. The bank ing room is two full stories high, with tile floor and marble wains coating. Immediately in the rear is the great vault and back of this is the directors' room and the pres ident's private office. There will be fourteen offices upstairs, reached by two flights of marble steps. The entire building has an air of massive ness and solidity well in keeping with the purposes for which it is designed the home of a solid and successful financial institu tionThe Peoples National Bank of Henderson ville.

' It will hold more than that number, is steam heated, electric lighted and has perfect acoustic properties. It is hoped the gentlemen from Hendersonville will succeed in persuading the brethren at Wades boro that this is THE town for their next meeting, for the hos pitable homes of the whole cit will be thrown open for their re ception and entertainment, they will experience a new delight and inspiration in holding their ses sions at an elevation of 2250 feet above the sea, and they will find a welcome from every church, every secret society and every business organization of the town which will convince them that they made no mistake when they decided to honor the "City of the Glad Hand'-' with their presence.

Is it growing faster in . propor tion to its pressnt population than any other town in Western North Carolina not excepting it 'most promising suburb of Asheville? : Ask Brownlow Jackson Post master Brownlow Jackson, and watch that smile when he gently mentions the fact that the re ceipts of the local, postoffice for November show an increase of thirty-two and two-thirds per cent over the receipts for Nov ember 1908! Let that fact sink slowly into your inner consciousness. Study over it. Talk about it Tell your friends Postoffice re ceipts increased nearly 33 per cent that's going some, sure! The increase in the Asheville office, as gi ven in the Citizen, is a little over 27 per cent for the same period which is a very good showing, very good indeed for Asheville.
