Justice of Henderson county. THat part of the road that is to-be built by Henderson "county extends , from Henderson ville. to the Greenville county line: - The' road authorities of the North Carolina county have been at work on jthis part of the road for some time but only a short part of it has beea'workedat allj The plan now before the Henderson, authorities is to complete the road to the Green ville county . ljne by the beginning of the next summer season1. It will be remembered that a week or so ago a big meeting: in the inter-; est of the inter-county highway was held in Hendersonville . wljjen -plans for the proposed ' betteV -highway across the mountains vfete discussed.' The plan for. the betterment of the highway is J;hat the wo ... counties,. Henderon and Greenville, build road that will avoid a certain steep grade in the upper part of -this coun ty. To avoid this grade the road,must be made longer somewhat, but in so doing the road will be made more ser viceable for travelers. .Greenville county can do nothing without an appropriation and it is likely that it will be a long time before the local road authorities can co-operate with the officials of Henderson county in the completion:-of the cross-mountain highway. ' , A letter has been sent out by' Su pervisor Justice of Henderson coun ty, asking the co-operation of the traV eling public in behalf of $he high way and v stating that the work on that part of the road ' from Hender dersonville to the county line will start on October 1.

The costume she wore in this character song was one which Mrs.. Cora Ransier had procured in Beth lehani, Palestine on her recent trip thru the Holy Land, and the duett which was rendered, one of her own composition. The costume is both picturesque beautiful and very becom ing to the 1 fair young wearer, who looked simply "stunning" when thus arrayed.
