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. -"V - - . - We commend these figures to the very careful con sideration of all persons who are looking tor a place to spend the summer. . t 10 1 rains Baily Following are, the times of de parture from Hendersonville of pas senger trains according to the sum mer schedule now in effect : No. 41, to Asheville, 6 a. m.

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.

Mr. 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: tion work will be- resumed : shortly and pushed vigorously, and that the company has definitely decided to carry, the roaa to jvicxvnnn s, vuns side of Zirconia), where it will tap the Southern- ...

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 - (Continued ol Page 5) JK BO' 9 -a 11 Dirt N J M Lanning to William Hughes, lot near depot, $600.

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.
