For years Mr. Patton has for a long time bad this undertaking" .in mind and has dreamed of its possi bilities and for this reason it isrea sonable to ipresume that he will, re turn to Hendersonville. : - ; The deal '-was consummated Mon day after long negotiations between Mr. Patton and his associates "and those having in hand the disposition of the .Barker property, which em braces about 1,000 acres both "with in and without the city. " The proposed developments call for the plotting of the estate anto small farms and building lots and the conversion of the entire property into a high state of development for residential purposes. . Mr. Patton is at present road en gineer for Greeenville county, where he has been employed for nearly three years, at the same time holding a similar position in Henderson coun ty, where Mr. Patton will receive a hearty welcome in the event of his return with the view to making this bis permanent home.

"An interesting program is being arranged. Every Sunday school in the county is urgently requested to send representatives. "Out 'of town speakers are expect ed to be there and a splendid conven tion is expected. "Keep the date in mind and begin now to arrange to be present. Sun day school superintendents all over the county are requested to take no tice and .co-operate in this." A SOLDIER'S THANKS FOR KINDNESSES SHOWN. To the Goad People of Henderson County: For myself and as well for my comrades, I want to express my deep sense of gratitude to all the good people who did so much for our com fort and happiness in our farewell at the opera house and at the depot, when we took the initial step in our tramp to France. I said I wanted to express our gratitude for the mani festation of your interest and love, but this is impossible. We feel more than can be expressed. The feeling produced will ever remain! with us I and will do more than anything else ' could do to keep the fire of patriot ism burning in our breast and to jkeep our nerves and our determina tion fixed to do our part in winning the fight for the liberty of mankind. For all of this, we are intensely thankful. We hope to be too busy preparing to fight and fighting to write many letters, but if you want to make us happy, write to us. We say to all, write. With much affection, I am, A Son of Henderson, EARL B. JACKSON. INTEREST OF MISSION SCHOOLS Next Tuesday evening at .7:59 o'clock in the Presbyterian 'church there will be held a meetipg in the interest of the mission tschools in Western North Carolina. Rev. Geo.

It was part of the entertainment on Wednesday .night of the recent meeting of the Ashte ville Presbyterial and is to be re peated by request. A silver offer ing will be taken 'for the schools.' PROPP m SCHOOL 1HDURII PAST YEA ' . Superintendent Gives General Re port of Work Done During the Year; Good Work Enjoyed; the Honor Roll. . (By G. W. Bradshaw.) t The conditions under which all institutions- have existed and operated during the past year have been ab normal in many respects. This is no less true . of public school systems than of other organizations. But in apite of the fact that "the public mind has been diverted from the regular channels of "thought, many of the good people of the land have realized the fact that now of all times is no time to allow the children, tha-future citizens of our country, to slow up in their efforts to get an edu cation and to fit themselves for life. And although there have been dur ing the school year just closed a num ber of ;: children in Hendersonville who xmght to have attended school, but did not, yet, in many respects the results of the year's work is quite gratifying to the administration and to "the .faculty. Both in enrollment and attendance the records show a flight increase over former years, and owing to the fact that the school this year has run nine months, we believe the grade of work done has been above the -standard of the past. During the year just past the total enrollment for the graded school has been 625, there having been 480 in the grades and 145 in the high school. Based on this enrollment, the average dailyattendance has been 445. This is a comparatively low attendance, but , many things have operated to bring this about. We have had epi demics of measles, whooping cough, smallpdx, which carried with it vacci nation,;, and . the coldest iwinter that KMgnXfof years. 'JBut ygth vall uese, 'we snouia nave crone oetter. The pupils on the whole have studied well and made the desired progress. x As may be already well known, the graduating class for this year con tained twelve members. The number graduating from the grammar school, thereby becoming eligible for en trance into the high 'school, was thir ty. This is 25 per cent more than the seventh grade has sent out any year previous. We, therefore, look for next year's eighth grade to be the largest in the history of the school. The pupils have had a great share, too, in outside activities. The school had basketball teams, both boys' team and girls team, and played games with neighboring schools including Asheville High. In the Henderson county commencement, our pupils took part in almost all the contests and won a large share of the valuable prizes offered. Miss Alma Johnson won the $50 prize in the high school recitation contests. Cecil Rhodes, of the seventh grade, won the grammar school declamation contest prize of $25. Margaret Kershaw handed in the best man of North Carolina and won a prize of $3, and Howard Pat terson won $2 for the second best map of Henderson county. A prize of J510 was won by the Henderson ville chorus class, and the first prize for the general exhibit was awarded to the city school. Miss Hazel Grant of the seventh grade, won second prize, $6, for making second highest average in the county examination. She was awarded also a $2.50 gold piece for making the highest average among the Hendersonville pupils on the seventh grade examination. Clark Kindal also won a $2.50 gold piece for making the highest average among the boys on the seventh grade examination. Miss - Steedman was awarded $25 in war stamps for hav ing successfully trained Miss John son. About $4,500 has been invested by pupils and teachers in war stamps, and a number of Liberty bonds were bought. The high school purchased a $50 Liberty bond for the school, an act much to be commended. The honor roll for the month of May is as follows: First Grade.

RFSTAIinAtlT m flDFH 0 TOP CHIMNEY ROC Perhaps nothing which that enter--prising spirit known as the Chimney Rock Co. ever did will exceed in popular interest the building of a restaurant at the base of Chimney" Rock. As is well known, the. coni-r pany has had in mind for some time the construction of a Inroro arA 5 M iU jjcx- manent pavilion at this point. Ow ing to the war, however, it did, not seem advisable lo begin the larger edifice at this time, but by reason of the very great demand for meals to be served at Chimney Rock the com pany decided upon and is building an inexpensive but atttractive rustic out-door dining pavilion at the site where the permanent ' structure will ultimately be built. , To the large and rapidly increas ing number of people who are now motoring to the famous "Chimney" the news that a good dinner can be secured on the spot will be welcome information. Every assurance is given that nothing will be left un done to serve the public with a most excellent dinner. A large number of men are actively constructing this addition and on July 1 it will be open to the public-- , OLD FASHIONED QUILTING BEE FOR SOLDIERS' BENEFIT.
