Sunimer is coming. The time has arrived
dwellers in the-warm lowlands are ' already looking for
ward with feelings of anxiety to the season of onnressivp
nights. The fierce heat of a summer day'in the moisture
laden atmosphere of the lowlands is hard to bear ; but the
.heat of a summer,night is even more exhausting.
North, south, east and west of us, every summer, are
nights when the. thermometer does not at any hour ' drop
below 77, and on such nights refreshing sleep seems
like a dim remembrance of long past years. But here we
find very different conditions. On the warmest night in
Hendersonville last summer the thermometer went down
to 63. , . t - , .
For purposes of comparison, we give the following
table of temperatures on the warmest night last summer
at the places named : '
New York 76; Philadelphia 77; Chicago 78; Memphis 79;
Atlanta 77; Hendersonville 65.

We commend these figures to the very careful con
sideration of all persons who are looking tor a place to
spend the summer. . t

Hon. Jolm G. Grant arrived here Saturday morning
and spent a day or two in town. To a representative of
this paper he spoke interestingly of his efforts to promote
the interests of the Tenth district. We have alreadv pub
lished the text of three bills introduced by him carrying
lafge appropriations for public works in this district, and
he will make everv effort to secure the enaction of
these bills. The one which carries the largest appropria
tion is the bill providing for the erection and maintenance
of a national sanitraium ; and he says that he has en
listed in behalf of this measure the strong support of lead
ing meri frGm other states, notably Ohio. , In addition to
the bills which he has introduced, he is working on other
projects for the benefit of this county and section; and
whlie he is not anxious at present to give out any details
for publication, he feels confident of procuring good results.
Mr, Grant is "on to his job." He is working hard in
the interest of his constituents and is sparing no effort
along that line. The district did well in sending him to
Washington.

p. B. Patterson. of Greenville, S.

Patterson is connected with the
construction work of the Greenville
and Knoxville ; railroad, and spoke
interestingly of the progress which
that road is making.
As bur readers know, trains are
already running between Greenville
and Cleveland, the latter point being
several miles this side of Marietta.
Mri Patterson says that the work of
grading has bsen completed from
Cleveland to Riverview at the foot
of the mountain, and that construc:

and pushed vigorously, and that the
company has definitely decided to

Death of
Mrs. Ripley
The Times last week chronicled
the serious illness of Mrs. Mary A.
Ripley. She died at six a. m. Fr
day morning, May 28, passing away
fas gently as an infant sleeping.
Mrs Ripley was born near Belfast
Ireland, in county Down, December
7, 1828. Her father was James Mc
Mahon. When she was only three
years of age her parents came to
this country, locating at Columbia,
S. C. In 1848 she married James
B. Ewart. a well known lawyer Gf
that city. After ' the death of Mr.
Evart in 1857 she became a res
ident of Hendersonville in 1862, and
married Col. V. Ripley, a prominent
a citizen of this state. Mrs. Ripley
was a woman of strong intellectual
ity, and in her earlier years was an
authoress of considerable distinction.
She was a regular contributor to
many of the leading magazines and
periodicals of her day. Perhaps
her most valuable production was
"Ellen Campbell or King's Mountain,
a story of the Revolution of 1776."
It was a prize story, and was con
tested for by many of the leading
writers of the south. The descrip
tion of the battle of Kings Moun
tain in this story is one of the most
graphic ever given of that famous
engagement. It increased enor
mously the circulation of the paper
in which it was published. When
quite a young girl she became a
member of the Presbyterian church,
and all through, her life was active
in church work. She was a most
lovable and sympathetic woman,
and was greatly beloved in tljis
community by all who knew her.
In failing health for many years,
she was at times a great sufferer,
but always patient, and never com
plaining under her afflictions.
The funeral services were con
ducted by Dr. R. B. Grinnan at the
residence Saturday morning, and in
obedience to her wishes were of a
most simple character. The read
ing of a part of the 15th chapter.of
Corinthians, and the singing of
"Rock of Ages" and "Just as I Am"
wMcK she requested to be sung, ter
minated the services at the house.
cemetery the beautiful
hymn, "Abide with me," another of
her selection was sung, and all that
remained of this loved woman nd
devoted Christian ' was committed

The Times recently pu' ' Vitd u;i
announcement of an "Old Timo
Wagoners Convention" to be held
at Beulah church, Bowman's BluiT,
July o and 4. S. B. Mace, on be
half of the committee which has
charge of the arrangements' for the.
convention, has sent us the names
of the following topics and speakers
in addition to those previously an
nounced: "Ways and means hy which thv.
farmers can most advantageously
dispose of their crops." A. Can
non, Samuel Sentell, J. P. Hyder.
"The progress of the New
South." Richard Stephen Sentell.
Saturday, July 3, the Drakn
string band will furnish music for
the occasion. Sunday, July 4,
there will be an old-time singing
led by our old friend, S. W. Ham
ilton, with Robert K. Orr as leader
in modern music. It is expected
that all wagoners will bring tiieir
utensils for camping on the ground
Saturday night.
Mr. Mace feels safe in saying
that the meeting will be unique in
its attractiveness and will be of
special interest to the farmers.
Telephone
This office has received informa-J
tion from Asheville, from a source
which ought to be trustworthy, that
the telephone people have definitely
deeided to install a new plant in
Hendersonville and to have a really
up-to-date outfit here. Manager
Brown,- .at the local exchange,
assures us that he knows nothing
about it; but our informant tells us
that the plans have been adopted
and work will 'begin shortly. The
need of the improvements indicated
above has long been apparent; it is
known that the company has been
doing a good deal of figuring along
that line. Our Asheville informant
is in a position to know which way
the cat will jump, and we are sure
that everybody here, the local man
agement as well as the general pub
lic, will be very glad indeed if "the
men at headquarters will publicly
announce a date for the much de
sired change.
