Mr. Hard wick asked for suggestions and receiv ed several from local citizens.' He did not first intend to answer In detail but later decided that it would be best and to each, question he made an ex plicit answer thoroughly agreeable to the person who asked it. In speaking of the. probability of Hendersonville's getting a new passen ger depot in , the near. ' future,.

It will not be many .years before Hendersonville can support a daily paper the year round. . A great many v people , have been heard to ask the question,' "When will the Daily Herald begin - operation?". The latest news is to the effect that sometime in June Miss Dally will -put in her appearance. The length will largely be determined by the people of Hendersonvile in their support of a live "red hot" daily. Mr. W. C.

On' accountof the supposed case being over a prominent place of business in the town it was deemed wise-to warn the people of Its. existence- in the last issue of this paper.
