THANKSGIVING DAY.
, IN HEN DERSON VI LLE.
A Deer Hunt, A Flurry of Snow, and
Other Things. '
Thanksgiving Day passed off quietly
in Hendersdnville. The weather play
ed a practical j oke on Uncle Sam's
bureau, as ; the latter had . predicted
fair" weather whereas what we acfc
ually had was an assortment of cli
mates including snow.
Services . were held at the Baptist,
Presbyterian and Episcopal churches
and collections were taken up'for or
phanages. Rev. W. M. Curtis with
some members of his church ' visited
the poor house and endeavored to give
the inmates some cause of thanksgiv1
ing. -
- President Roosevelt missed the op
portunity of his life by not being here
yesterday. A six snag buck, weighing
136 J pounds, made a rapid transit
through the western aud northwestern
parts of the town in the raorui ug, and
was pursued by a number of Nimrods
and finally slain by Frank Drake near
Brittain's creek, north of town J A.
Bryson brought the animal in triumph
through town followed by a large, pro! -cession.
A COMPARISON.
Measuring Corn in Bulk.
It is often a great v advantage to
measure corn in ear in wagon boxes or
cr ibs without trouble of handling
The old rule of 2 cubic feet to the bush
el is .Yiot correct; neither is the rule
given -by "Ropp's Calculator," towit:
"Two and one. half cubic feet" for corn
in the crib. I have weighed and meas
ured wagon loads,' first making a box
of suitable dimensions and tlfen shell
ing the grain and weighing to ascer
tain the number of cubic inches requir
ed. It was found that there was no
exact rule. If a wagon box or crib is
filled with very large corn, and of it,
it will take more cubic inches to shell
out 56 pounds of grain than, it will of
very small corn, because the latter
packs : closer, together. Measure the
length, breadth and depth of the wag
on box in inches, multiply them, di
vide the product by 4000 ; the quotent
will be in bushels. 1 Example; A
wagon boxls 1ft feet long. 3 feet wide
and 24 inches deep; 120x36 equals
.4320x24 equals 103,680. divided by 4000
equals 25 J bushel. Neither the buyer
nor the seller can afford to pay the
weigh master for all he will gain or lose
if measy red accurately b v this rule.
Corn in a crib is nob exactly . the same
Ht a wagou uoj, ueuauso id is hod com
monly packed so closely together. In
the crib get the dimensions in inches
as above and divide the product by
4250, ana you will get it almost exact
ly, remembering what l nave said
about big and little corn.

"Observer" Asks a Question and
Gives the Answer to It.
; Editors Times: The question is some
times asked, What is there to make
Hendersohville grow more rapidly
than some of its neighboring resorts?
Why is it that Asheville, with all its
wealth and the advertising it gets in
connection with George W. Vander
bilt' cannot show the same rate of
growih as our own modest town? We
have not used as much diligence as we
should in publishing abroad all of our
natural advantages, and therefore I
think it is important to give the widest
possible publicity to the answer to the
above .inquiry. ,
Apart from a slight difference in
climate and our freedom from the
danger of tuberculous infection, the
chief advantage that Hendersonville
has "over its ambitious neighbor on the
nortn is the comparatively level sur
fa ce of our town. We have mountains,
plenty of them, withiu reach of us,
but we keep them, off Main street;
Asheville has" many miles of streets,
some of them paved, ' but they are
mostly standing on end. A few days
ao1 a ; man .was quietly walking in
that hamlet, when he suddenly fell off
the street and had to be taken to the
hospital for repairs. In Henderson
ville there is no danger of such un
pleasant occurrences. Any one can
walk our streets without a step ladder.
When these facts become better
known the number of our visitors will
be greatly increased. There is no
town in this section which is better
suppled . by nature with facilities
for good streets than Hendersonville,
and if the town commissioners will get
a move on thsm and do the macadam
izing - for which the bonds have al
ready been voted and sold, then the
attractiveness of this place will be
still further increased.

satisfy by W. H. Justus. Price 60c

Fire-Proof Vaults ' Opened With
Dynamite. -Polk
County News. - - .
- The iron doors of the fire-proof
yault in ; Kegistrar of Deeds omce in
the court house at Columbus were
blown open by professional safe blow
ers last Thursday night. ,
h The story of the affair as revealed b v
several circumstances connected with.
fit is as 'follower -'r - v. v -r--
Jaet Thursday evening Mr. Cannon,
ot Lynn. sawtour strange men pass
ing through Lynn. They -did not
speak but hurried on in the direction
of Columbus. That night Jno. Hutch
ison's todls were stolen irom his black
smith 8 bop near lynn and the same
tools were found in the vault where
the burglars left them.
The same night suspicious sounds
were heard in the Coiumbus hotel by
three different parties in 'different
parts of the house, though nothing
was taken.
Friday night a man was held up by
three men a few miles below here.
The robbery was executed in true
professional style, as a neat hole was
drilled near, the combination and a
charge of nitro-glyeerine or dynamite
did the rest. ' Bits of fuse and matches
were found on the floor and the small
lockers u the vault were burst open
and their contents, consisting of deeds
and other legal documents, were scat
tered over the floor. Only $1.50 ul
postage stamps was secured by the
robbers as no funds were in the vault.
The vault in the Clerk's office was al
so entered but' nothing was secured.
as Mr. HamDton had removed $500 the
previous night.
Certain -newspapers in the state
have been circulating a rumor to the
effect that the republican officials of
this county were responsible for the
deed in the effort to cover up their
tracks and hide certain matters, but
this we deny most emphatically as the
circumstances connected with the
outrage indicate that the deed was
done by professional sate blowers in
search of booty.
