For there was music; excellent music, by the fine Rebekah orchestra, under the capable di rection ot Prof. '-Thomas. Then thiiie were refiuali ments which possessed ari added flavor from their being passed around by some of the f airiest, members of the Wanteska Rebekah Assembly. And then there, were the talks short, in terestirig and profitable talks , ; ?f I'- First, Dr. L.IB.I .McBrayer of Asheville made the principal aidres3 of the evenihiBr-.-'v'PeW men there are in North Carolina taking a more active : part ia guiding this great order: than this fine phieian and able speaker, who, in his address spoke of tne power "of rcoppera tion, said that Odd Fellowship stands for the care arid education of the orphan, for right, and for aid and succor to the helpless. He spoke of the adaptability of this order to changing social con ditions, Said it wai tthe greatest Secret society in the world, was the first to establish sick bene fits for its members "and expect- j d at the coming rneetmg. of thi Sovereign Grand Lodge in At lanta that it would establish a national sanatorium "for those afflicted wi tb ujrcoii; ' . u j s He paid ah earhestinTjute ito,, womankind and to vthebekah Assemblies, saying the tnarve-, lous growth) ofHtstiranch: of Odd Fellows Jti this, State was due to the -untiring; efforts of. their President Mrs. Hattie Reed Whitaker. His stories, and they were, witty and pointed, sarved but to -further' illustrate his arguments and a. burst of sincere applause at the close of his talk testified to the pleasure he had given his large audience. address made a profound imj pression upon'her hearers. It is to be regretted that lack of space prohibits its publication until our next issue. . Mrs.1 Whitaker came with a message from the or phans and it was earnestly de livered. Mr. W. A. Smith said that wo man would always have her rights. SaidHhat was his expe rience. He;' made a forceful speech for aid for the orphan's home.

Editor Hustler: The handsome prizes offered by the First National Bank and The Hustler may, and ought, to be the seed to produce fortunes for our County. Now that we must have good roads for bur farmers, the farmers must have good products for the markets. Good roads make good farms and good farms makes cmriA roads and good farms 'make good towns, so as the 'farmer supports the. town man the town man must help the farmer. How can this co-operation be u tilized to the greatest recipro cal advantage? Let every busi ness man in town offer a prize for some farm product, equal in importance to a reasonable per cent of the annual benefits drawn by h jm from their patronage, i If all would . show themselves just and generous, we would have a lot of handsome prizes" thai would encourage our farmers to - in crease, their products hundreds of thousands of dollars in the shortest conceivable time, and the business man would thrive with the farmer! : ''; Thus far, all will agree, but, says one, and 'then another, and then all will say, - no trouble about the prizes, and no business man can afford, possibly none would wish to say to the farfmer. you are np good tp. me,: and I tiaye nprize to offer; ryoubut the trouble is we have no- fair grounds, and to; make them with appropriate buildings .wouW cost thousands of dollars. Not so xnucA- trouble- exists, -for rthe truth :.is we have the finest grounds, that caii be found m the State, and all the? -t necessary buildings, : Could a finer ground be found than Main street, with the other business . streets: - the wagons can be decorated for dis play, the Opera House used for the ladies and all the houses in A I " j TTT1 icwn ior sneuer. yvnat a mag nificent fair ground we would have, and jwhat an opportunity each business house would have to arrange for tho display of the ? arucms xur which it oners a ! nrtTO flifhof -nriViirt his business house and apart from the business features, what good atid what joy would come to the town and county from an annual feast, of mingling and co mingling of our people. With' the death of the greatest benefactor Henderson County ever had, (who was he?) died the Western North Carolina Fair. HoW- many men would like to be missed when they fol low him, by making themselves useful to the people who are making them in their business? If our business men will come forward by ottering casn prizes, then a little planning will make our town, for one or two days, next fall, a beautiful fair ground, and will have a f air that will V W.

Back in the forties Frank Bates of Greenville, S. C. , while" a young man drifted to the "gold diggins on the Pacific slopes of California. There he accumulated quite a small; fortune, and years after he left, there, . wandering in search of the precious metal in the hills, of the Argentine. Re public i Again he was successful Jand if information from the office of the Secretary of State, Washing ton, D. C., and the ' Consul General at Buenos Aires prove correct he died at Mendoza, Ar gentinia Republic in 1SK)6.. leav ing a large amount of gold in the London and River Plate Bank of that city, and also valuable mining properties, worth per haps hundreds of thousands- of dollars. ' . " . Mrs.- Guice, the wife , of our ! townsman, Mr. t Columbus Giiice,' is a niece of Frank Bates, 'Who at the age of 75 years died at Mendoza, and as. Bates ileft no wife or children, Mrv. arid Mrs. Guice will with the other rela tives in South Carolina and Georgia inherit this - - vast estate.1 ' : ' ; ." : Judge H. Cr.

Bates iifei it iMen- ido2a'in,1905 leayiSg large f de- posits of gold in-the London ;and River Plate JSarik of that city and that the funds .would beP' turned over to the legal representatives of the Bates estate, in America. lrom the Consul-General at Buenos Aires he has been j fur ther advised that the Argentine authorities are ready to deliver the deposits made to the Ameri can representative, as soon as the proper power of attorney can- be executed andi the death "certifi cates of the parents of Frank Bates and the birth certificates of Mrs. Guice. and the surviving nephews and nieces of Frank Bates can be forwarded to the American Consul-General at Buenos Aires. There are only a small number of heirs to the estate, and it is by no means improbable that Mrs. Guice may find herself a very rich woman in the near future. The mines of Bates in Argentina may prove to be rich beyond compute. If there should be any diffi culty in securing the property from the Argentina Government, Judge Ewart, counsel .for Mrs. Guice, may go personally to Men doza and present her claims to the authorities there. ; ... The Hustler congratulates Mrs. Guice who is, a most wor thy, la4V and, trusts that she., will soon be in the enjoyment of a good portion of this estate. Mrs. G. M. Hill of Blue Ridge is also a niece of Frank Bates, she being a sister of Mrs. Colum bus Guice. AD, Me ! A little card in front of the re ceiving teller's window of the Wanteska Bank bears this le gend: It is easy enough to be pleasant . When life flowffalong like a song.
