Last season many of these visitors organized State associations notably the Florida and the South .Carolina ssociations. Their meetings . :were thoroughly enjoyable and. the seed then sown has blossomed beautifully. . For on Monday last the City of Hen dersonvllle. through Mayor M. - M. Shepherd, ; formally dedicated to" the use., of the different State Associations aW'elrTfuriUsheoT roohi 4 In the city hall, to. be v devoted exclusively to their use.-: ' . - . - " The dedication ceremonies, if in. deed so delightful a fathering de serves so awe-inspiring a title,-formed a part of the Florida Associations' meeting the first State to avail itself of 'the city's kindly courtesy. Possibly, a hundred people home folks -and visitors, many of them ladies, were present when Captain Wofford called the meeting to order. Captain Wofford divides his time, as everyone of course knows, almost equally between Hendersonvllle and Florida. He was the first president of the. ifirst State Association ever, or ganized here and in his happy little introductory speech he struck just ex actly the right chord. Hon. Bartlett Shipp, as the repre sentative of Mayor Shepherd; welcom ed the visitors from Florida. Mr, Shipp, always a most interesting speaker, was at his best. During his too short' remarks he said that ' Hen dersonvllle belonged to all the South and the precincts of the city includ ed as its suburbs the States of -Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. - Dr. John "Ehnis of St Petersburg, Fla.. replied to the address of wel come. He said he spoke for those suberbanits of - Hendersonvllle who lived in Florida. He regarded Hen dersonville, he said, as the finest town, with one single exception, on the American continent, and for an all the year round home he knew of no place with which to compare it Dr. Ennis spoke of the morality of this town and State. "Think ot it," Tie exclaimed, Vnot a saloon in the State. I hope that the 2d of July will Bee every saloon . taken out of . St. Petersburg." Dr. Ennis said that the State of Florida had a very particular regard for Hendersonvllle and had every reason for that regard. He told how, in 1887, when yellow fever was epi demic, in Florida, when-all the world had quarantined against the stricken" State and death and horror was its Dortlon, Hendersonvllle offered-hos pitality and freedom and 'said. to the an(j truly my temporary home, They did come in solid train loads. They found "' welcome and sympathy and health here and "they have never. fcTgotten. it and never will." said Dr. Ennis. "And now." he continued, "Florida sends more people to -Hendersonvllle during the summer than to all the rest Another trolley car for the .L&urel of Western Norths Carolina together Park : Street Railway arrived yeter arid the time Is at hand when 5,000 day and will, be unloaded and placed Flori dans wil ' Ispend a part or each ,year in Hendersonvllle."' " - Dr. Ennis said that the Associatiou desired to furnish a room inthe new Hendersonvllle stow from a . mountain village tV a modern city and believed the city s growth marvelous as it had been during the past few years, had but now started. HonvW; A. Smith responded for Georgia. Of course, everybody knows that "Bill" Smith belongs to' North Carolina in general and to Henderson vllle , in particular. As one- of the Georgia visitors softly remarked, Hen dersonvllle v. without v. "Bill"; Smith, resemble - in its general proportions and jdutXffiea the playnrjf jHamlet with Hamlet left out. : . -Vr - But that is all by the way. Mr. Smith ' has just returned from a busi ness trip to St Petersburg and he paid an earnest' and glowing tribute to that quite remarkable city "event ually," he 'said, "to be THE Winter resort of the entire South." Mr.NSmith thanked the -city authorities for pro viding attractive headquarters for the State Associations, and said they were in line to make of Henderson vllle a city three times its present size. S. S. Crittenden answered for Ala bama, and his talk' commanded every one's attention; - ; . &-.TVHodges--of Virginia said that when God i wanted to- make ' a great man he first made a great mother. He, as a Virginian, believed that North Carolina was a great State because it had v a gret mother Virginia. . Mr. Hodges scored a hit right there. Dr.'J. T. Fuller of New York, said he was an ardent admirer of Hender ville. He came here for a winter home only, he said, but found, the summer, climate so admirable that he decided to remain the year round. He cited, as an interesting fact, that the sun .shone 28 days every month dur ing one winter-of which he had 'kept a' daily record. . He said this was truly a City of Refuge and the world needs only to. know the truth about Hendersonvllle to make . it a great city. '-.' , ' - John Glenn oi Tennessee spoke briefly, there was some discussion of a joint meeting of all the State Asso ciations to be held In August, at Lau rel Park, and the meeting adjourned. Altogether it was a most delightful occasion. The little; speeches were all bright. There was an atmosphere of cordial welcome, pf sincere hospi tality, a pleasing informality,- which made everyone feel they were expect ed guests in some old friend's home, visitors "this a good thing. I feel, ,'iWithout a doubt." said one of the myself that I am more than a strang er here now.

Wm. J. Cocke, of Asheville in a combined . effort to - rid Henderson, county of scrub and mixed breeds of hogs. . ' ' - The Blue Ridge Berkshire Farms, owned by' Mr. Cocke, will furpish any approved applicant in Henderson county,, a pair of pure bred Berkshire pigs, valued at from $50 to $100 the regulation, price at any standard stock farm in' America. ; The farmer feeds both hogs, keeps one, returns one to the Brti$ Ridge Berkshire Farms, and has the privilege of entering a contests fat which $180 : in gold will be distri buted. ' - . ..; : -Briefly, , the only,; conditions attach-' e to this most generous proposition are these: . , ; The pigs, . which are at least two months old when delivered, must , be. cared for until-they reach.; the age of 12 months.. At that .age - they are weighed and the following liberal prizes will be awarded: " The first prize, offered"; by the First Bank and Trust Company, will be $75 in gold. ' ' '. The othr prizes offered by the Blue Ridge Berkshire Farms will be $40 in gold, $30 in gold, $20 , in . gold, $10 vin gold, $5 in gold. Thismakes a 4xta,l of $180 In Iprizes, distributed among the raisers of six heaviest hogs." This is - without . any . question the finest opportunity the farmers of this country will ever have to get rid ,of their scrub hogs and replace them with - thoroughbreds jBerkshires from orle)f"the most noted BtockXarms,Jn America. ;:' - In Buncombe and Haywood coun BIG-MILITARY PARADE.'
