There were about 100 pens of birds and these were conven iently arranged to be observed to good advantage. The apples were beautifully dis played just inside the entrance to the building, which the Hendersonville Automobile Company turned over -without charges to the show officials, and the appetizing aroma UjUled one's olfactory nerves about the same time the eye settled upon the luscious Henderson county products and the scene and fragrance together were immediately captivating and every spectator went away highly j enthused over what they had observed in the way of Henderson county fruit.

Justice Gives Assurance of Best Service to County George W. Justice, who led the lo cal field in the election last week, having won 3,152 votes, expresses his gratitude to his friends in the follow ing message: , Editor of The News: Now that the people of the county have spoken, and each of the men who were candidates in the recent election knows how many votes he re ceived, and knows just what measure of thanks to extend to the voters of the county, I wish to extend to all the men and women, who so unfal teringly, gave me their support in my a"e for countv commissioner, my :uot sincere ihnJ-s. Although our p.-.Htiml bel-ef are different in many instances, yet our mutual interest for the welfare of Henderson county was unmistakably in evidence at the election on Tues day of last week. The people, for once, laid aside their politics, came out and voted for us, I fully believe. with no other object in view than to promote the best interest of the coun ty. I think this was the only ques tion uppermost in the minds of the voters at the polls on Tuesday of last week. I do not know whether I merit the flattering vote I got and the large majority I received or not, but one thing I do know, and that is that every man and woman who voted for me has a warm place in my heart, and I shall try to serve those who could not see their way clear to support me, with the same devotion as I do those who voted for me. I want to assure the people of the county that I will do my very best to prove my self worthy of the honor the voters have bestowed upon me. In conclusion, I want to assure all the people of Henderson county that my whole aim is to serve them as best I can in the office of county commissioner, and what I have here said applies likewise to my associates who were elected with me. "We shall enter upon our duties, with many thanks to one and all, and a desire to serve all the people to the utmost of our ability. Very sincerely, GEORGE. W. JUSTICE.

Grant Kramer to Do Exhibition Riding Grant Kramer is preparing to leave this week on a winter tour through Florida, where he will do exhibition trick riding. Mr. Kramer has an old bicycle that he has performed on from coast to coast in following big shows and also on putting on his own exhibitions. It is of old style and of very sturdy make, being minus the ball bearings, which he has discarded because when riding a wheel and performing such tricks as throwing aside his handle bars and next his front wheel and riding on one wheel he needs no tiny balls running around on the street to be picked up. Mr. Kramer will olso carry an old buggy wheel on which he performs, having ascended and descended a set of 50 steps and from the court house in Fairmont, W. Va., on this wheel. Mr. Kramer and family will occupy an auto truck that he has equipped with living apartments for him and family for the winter. C. II. T. BLY KOIAIXS IX BEI AFTER ILLNESS OF LENGTH C. H. T.

The Chicago Tri bune yesterday printed the following: "The late local campaign inaugur ated a new method of canvass for votes. Sundry candidates adopted the plan of newspaper advertising. It is by far less expensive than let ter writing and much more effective than placards, stickers and other out door advertising. On political adver tising in the six metropolitan Chi cago newspapers there was spent a total of $68,666.85, of which The Tri bune was given unsolicited a larger share than any other newspaper. "For the advertising of individual candidates the total was $51,701, of this sum $45,155 was spent by can didates for county judge, member of the board of review, county treasurer, sheriff and probate judge. The win ners of these offices spent or their friends spent in their behalf $30,926, and the losers the remaining $14,169. Four of these five winners used news paper advertising more extensively than their opponents. "The amounts paid to the several papers for political advertising were as follows: Tribune, $14,639; News, j $13,134; Journal. $12,727; Herald Examiner, $12,321; American, $9,386, and Post, $6,459. These figures in cluded advertisements supporting light wines and beers, which totaled $8,600." LOCAL BAR PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE : LATE W. A. SMIT1 The following resolution has been prepared by the bar for presentation to the court, which convened this afternoon. Judge Bryson arrived at noon, hence there was no session of the court this morning. Whereas, we, the members of the Hendersonville Bar association, have learned with unfeigned grief of the death of our townsman and fellow member, the "Nestor" of our bar, William Alexander Smith, at his ho ne in his beloved Laurel Park, on the 20th day of October, A. D. 1922, in the G3th year of his age and the 47th year of h's practice of the law; Whereas, we desire to bear testi mony to the learning, ability and worth of the deceased as a man, and our appreciation of and affection for him as a citizen and fellow member of our profession; and Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: First: That the Hendersonville Bar association has had no more learned member or one who practiced the profession with greater ability and skill than our late associate; and Second: That the life of our fellow member has been, and will be, an in spiration to us, commencing as it did amidst privation and toil, it culmin ated in a success vouchsafed only to those who combine industry, fidelity and talent, and Third: That Mr. Smith was the pre mier citizen of Hendersonville, and to whatever extent this city may biuld it will be upon the foundation laid by him, the construction of which was often fraught with discouragement and opposition; and Fourth: That our departed brother was possessed with a kindly spirit and friendly disposition, was quick to forgive and to make amends, which endeared him to all of us, who mourn his loss as a friend and brother; and Fifth: That Brother Smith was a most devoted husband and father, who so lived for his loved ones and so unmindful of himself, that gener- asity and self-sacrifice stood out as prominent virtues of his character. Sixth: That Brother Smith was a patriot, tried and true, who, in the time of his country's peril, without a murmur, sent his three sons to do battle with a mighty foe; and when the son who had chosen his father's profession, and to whom he had look ed forward as his partner in his post meridian years, made the supreme sacrifice on Flanders Field, our broth er, while his heart was sore and bleeding, was never heard to utter a word or syllable of resentment or distrust, but sustained by his indom itable courage, held his head erect and, soldier-like, marched forward; and Seventh: That, exalted in the prac-J tino rf V r 1q wr unf irinc i r -f Vi lot- (Continued on page 4) Armistice Exercises Engaged in by Two Local Organizations The observance of Armistice Day Saturday was limited to the extent of men in uniform from the Hubert M. Smith Post of the American Legion and Battery C, 117th Field artillery, standing at attention. First Lieut. R. L. Whitmire was in charge of a squad from the field ar tillery and Claude English, Manning Morris, Wiltshire Griffith, A. V. Ed wards and Mr. Nelson of Etowah rep resented the American Legion, all standing at attention for one minute at 11 o'clock in front of the city hall when the fire whistle sounded. W. A, SMITH'S WILL, 31 YEARS OLD, IS FILED FOR PROBATE The will of the late W. A. Smith, who died on October 20, has been filed for probate with the clerk of court. The will was made in 1891 and con tains only a few lines, there being no loss of words in its contents. Mr. Smith bequeathed unto his wife all his property and appointed her as executrix of the estate. Witnesses to the will were Judge H. G. Ewart and S. J. Justice, both of whom have died since witnessing the document. In view of this circum stance, there heing no living witness to his signature, J. Mack Rhodes and C. E. Brooks, bankers, both filed statements to the effect that they were familiar with the handwriting of Messrs. Smith, Justice and Ewart and that the document in question bore their genuine signatures. Mrs. Smith as executrix estimates the value of the estate "of the deceased at about $75,000, consisting of the greater part of Laurel Park, house and lot in the city; interest in an nex Park near Laurel Park and notes and mortgages to the value of about $20,000, together with other evidences of debt. Children's Book Week Is Locally Observed This is "Children's Book Week" at our public library. If the parents and those interesting in the educa tion, and the proper entertainment of children could but realize the impor tance that books hold in the lives of our 3roung people we would not need to make an appeal for special con tributions. Give your child a book, place it in the library where other children may share in its profit and enjoyment. What books are needed? All kinds, reference, nature studies, biography, travel, stories. Children will read almost anything if it is at tractively presented. With the wealth of books published specially for children one can scarce ly make a mistake in a selection. If you find that not convenient we would be grateful for money, just the price of a book. We have a compe tent librarian and a library commit tee who are deeply interested in the wholesome instruction and entertain ment of the children of the commun ity, you can safely leave the choice to them. Our schools are doing all that they can, but these active young minds need something more than mere text books. TTpln us to srive it to them, make our children's department a matter for honest pride. You will not forget this, the chil dren, the future of both state and nation. Give them the best aids to good citizenship. You will not regret it, and they will more than repay you.
