OLDISERlES-rVOL, 17 WHY YOU SHOULD OWW West ii BflBr n H H R n P! ra. ram rv I n l i r I 11 RIP I0 Hendersonville, "the Gem of the Land 0f the Sky" invites you to build a gumnier home within its bounds. This is the substance of the Builders Edi tion of The "Western Carolina Demo crat containing many announcements from the builders supplies concerns and well known contractors, etc. That there will be a great deal of Luilding here this spring is a foregone conclusion from the many inquiries and contracts which have been receiv ed by the local builders. One contrac tor stated that he felt sure -that the building this spring 'would be greater than any previous season. There are hundreds of out of town property owners who have bought within the last year and others who have owned property here for a num ber of years and are now contemplat ing building this spring. It is to these that the edition will be of special interest. Owning a summer home in Hender sonville in which to spend several months of the hot season has grown to be an enormous asset to the city's welfare. It has caused many new families to remain here all the year round. Finding that the climate dur ing the winter months is so mild and invigorating many have prolonged their short trip of a few months to that a number of years. However the summer season in Hendersonville as a summer resort has already won nation wide reputa tion for Its many advantages over other resort cities and will continue to interest summer tourists and visitors into building residences and cottages here. - Death of Ber. Jj W. Siler. Rev. Jesse W. Siler, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Silver City, N. M., and a native of Franklin, this State, died there early last week of tuberculosis, from which he had been almost a life-long sufferer, this fact having changed his life" plans. He was born February 9, 1863, and was al most 50 years of age. He was gradu ated from Davidson College In 1885 as valedictorian of his class, having won four gold medals. In 1888 he was graduated from Union Theological Seminary at Hampden-Sidney, Va., pre paring for foreign missionary work. He was rejected by the board as the result of a hemorrhage suffered at that time. . He then turned his energies to ward the needs of his own country and was the successful pastor of churches at Murphy, Hayesville, Charlotte, Shel by and Hendersonville in North Caroli na, and Flowersville, Lavernia, Seguin and San Angelo, Tex., and finally at Silver City. In 1888 he was married to Miss Mar garet McDowell, a graduate of the Mo ravian college in Salem, and to this union three children were born, Ar nold, now at San Angelo, Tex., Leon, engaged in newspaper work in Fort Worth, Tex., and Louise, who gradu ated last year from the New Mexico Normal school at Silver City and is now a student at Salem college. A brother, Mr. J. G. Siler, also lives In North Carolina. A fine tribute to Mr. Siler's charac ter i spaid by The Silver City Inde pendent and also by friends. He had hoped to be able to spend his last days in North Carolina, but this wish was denied him.

WILSOJT WRITES. Ilendersonvillian Boosting His Town Away Down on the Canal Zone. Cristobal, C. Z., Jan. 2, 1913. "To the Editor: My Dear Sir: Since leaving Hendersonville, I know I've done a great deal to adver tise Western Carolina in the land of the Sky; and especially Henderson ville, N. C. While in Atlanta, I attend ed the Good Roads Convention and was entertained by the Chamber of Com merce. While out at the club dinner, ; I wasx complimented as I was about the only man that did not take a drink Mr. Moore, president of Board or Trade or of Chamber of Commerce In making his speech stated he hoped the Good Roads of Fulton county would extend to all the Southern cit ies, also New York, Washington, etc., and put his hand on my shoulder and said especially Hendersonville, N. C. I cannot go into detail all I've had published about Hendersonville. While in San Antonio, Texas, I was enter tained at St. Anthony's hotel, Menger Hotel and Gunter Hotel, the finest hotels in the city, and the papers ad vertised my visit to San Antonio as "the great hotel man that built the big hotel for the idle rich at Hender sonville," now known as "The St John,," one of the finest hotels in Western North Carolina; also was en tertained at the St Charles Hotel, New Orleans, and the New Orleans newspapers certainly did write up some nice articles of my visit there and my invitation to have all the auto owners and auto clubs to meet in At lanta next August to come to Hender sonville from all over the Southern States and Eastern States, Washing ton, Philadelphia and New York. Per haps you noticed some in some of the newspapers. Since my arrival here, I've been written up in the Panama Journal, Star and Herald published in Panama City, also Starlet publish ed in Colon, R. P. "the. hotel man of the Great Summer Resort, Henderson ville." I've been here at the finest ho tel on the Canal Zone. Tivoli and Col. Golthals offered me the Tivoli hotel, so have been talked about here en the zone as "a , great advertising This question is possibly asked by many of thotee who - sojourn in the mountains f or a short vacation.' The answer is very short and can be told by any of those who live here or have lived here in the past If you have a family, and want to remain here sevr eral months it pays to own a home and still feel the touch of home life In this beautiful country. If you in tend remaining here any length of time and desire to entertain friends and relatives it is economical in more ways than one to own your home. Real estate valuea are on the in crease and have been for a long num- Sill Ml Oil ber of years. Should you build here it would be a profitable investment be. a financial way. You can get more than the amount invested ' most '- any time for your property if you should after building, decide to sell. Hendersonville is growing, fast It has a live Greater Hendersonville Club composed of "boosters." This organization is doing much for the up building of the city. Already many out of t6wn capitalist have been In terested to invest here and start en terprises which will give the city His toid financial strength all the year round. ' agent for Hendersonville." The Young Men's Qhristian associa tion is a great institution for the stranger that joins same, as they are homes for us every night on the zone. The only places you can rent to stay at Colon, R. PJ, and Panama City, R. F-., at each place are hotels and rooms to rent 55 Front street, Colon, R. P., on the water front within 100 yards, of the Christobal P. O. and prospects good for a good business. So many frauds have ' been sold to the Americans here that they are much more careful; alsoa. great many will have to leave the Isthmus soon; also change in politics makes business hard to' start . This country is beautiful; with everything green, hills, moun tains, lakes and the ocean. Will write you a description if you wish same: Would like to see the Hustler to hear from home. It will pay to advertise Western North Carolina in the Pana ma Journal, especially Henderson county and Hendersonville, as I think several will look for new homes. Se cure a little funds through the club or some way to do a little advertising here. It will pay over a hundred fold. Wish the Hustler a prosperous and happy New Year. Your friend, C. El WILSON."
