S I V ( -J I i Woodmen of the World Hold Convention in Hendersonville for First Time out of Omaha KIRK BUILDING IS COMPLETED New Building Complete and Will Be Occupied After July 8th. Fourth of July Will Be Featured By Address es By Governor Mor rison of North Caro lina, Harvey of S. C, and Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas; Celebration Begin ning With Parade, Will Be Biggest Ever Held in Hendersonville. The Woodman convention is now under full swing, with the Sovereign Executive Committee at Duncrag gan and the State members at the Carson House. With the coming of the Woodmen the appearance of the city has changed materially. Gay and bright and colorful, the flags and draperies lend an air of holiday and patriotism to the city that is fitting and appro priate. Hendersonville recognizes the honor placed upon her in the coming of the Woodmen here for the first time out of Omaha for the na tional convention, and with all her might and main she is striving to honor her guests. The members of the Head Camp, Woodmen of the World were the guest of the Chamber of Commerce and Hendersonville Woodmen at the Carson House Friday night. At this time, the Cincinnati officials had not arrived, coming Saturday by motor. There were a number of speeches made by the Woodmen during the dinner, and the key note of all their talks was that ultimately the Wood men home will be located here. General 11. S. Royster declared that he felt certain that the groat hospi tal talked of will be located in Hen dersonville. The state publicity di rector. W. B. Stuart, made an inter esting talk and paid a pretty com pliment to Hendersonville, saying that she is nationally known as a re sort city, "the greatest resort city on the face of the earth. The master of ceremonies for this The Kirk building On the corner of Fifth and Main, is practically com plete and the store rooms leased. In appearance, the new building is one of the most handsome in the city. Constructed of brick, two stories high and with three commodi ous store rooms facing Main street, the Kirk buildng adds greatly to the appearance of the block on which it is located. With its sister building, the Queen theatre, complete, the two newest and perhaps the most modern buildings of the city are now complete. All the store rooms of the new building have already been leased. It is understood that there has been some competition in securing space in this new building so advantageous ly located in the heart of the city's business section. The space on the corner of Fifth and Main will be occupied by the Sidney Powell Grocery company, a new firm n this community. The middle store has been leased by Jim Gianakos, who will conduct a fruit and candy store there. In the third store will be the main of fice of the Sanitary Laundry and Dry Cleaning company. Besides the main office, the laundry will operate a quick service pressing club there. There is still minor interior work to be done on the building, but this will be complete by the 8th of this month, and the stores will move in at that time. fa BIG SEASON PREDICTED i Largest Season in History of City I Forecast For Hendersonville I This Summer. .

The handsome structure, completed Friday, was erected solely by the Hendersonville Golf Club. While it is not now as large as it will be in I the near future, it is sufficient to ac-1 commodate all needs for the present, j The new club houses is stained j brown, and has a number of benches i around the outside for players to I use. There is at present one room, j stftficient for tha needs of all pur;i poses at the present, and so con i structed that at any time additions made be made, as it is planned that j they will be. ! The completion of the club house j will not doubt stimulate added inter-1 est in the course. The professional ; will be there all the time, ready to j give assistance to all or to give les- j sens at a very reasonable rate. The location of the club house is at the first hole, and is accessible by i automobile. Ever since the professional has ) been in charge of the course, the greens have shown steady improve ment. The grass has been cut regu larly and all is in tip top shape. According to rumor, the Woodmen in the city now are enthusiastic about golf. If this be the case, they will find no finer course on which to try their skill. The automobile firm of Maxwell and Anders is now incorporated, this taking place several days ago. Stock has been sold to outside capital. On account of this, the busi ness will be able to operate on a much more extensive scale than in the past, although it has for some time been doing a thriving business. The firm of Maxwell and Anders is located on Fifth Avenue, one block from Main street, in one of the finest garage buildings in Hendersonville and has proved to be one of the most popular repair shops in the city. The officers of the new incorpora tion are: President, S . Maxwell, Vice-President, E. J. Anders, Secre tary and Treasurer, G. L. Anders. G. L. Anders will also be the general manager in charge or the repaia shop and the sales system. With the addition of outside capi tal it will be possible to make quick-1 er deliveries to purchasers of the popular Dodge cars, for which the firm has the agency in this city. ' ' ' The most successful tourist season Hendersonville has ever experienced is forecasted for this summer in the fact that there are today more peo ple in the city than there ever have been on this date of any previous year, according to persons who are considered good authority. Without exception the hotels and boarding houses of the city are enjoy ing wonderful patronage from the tourists from all over the southland. The lure of the majestical moun tains, the escape from the enervating heat and humidity of the cities of the low country, the perfect air, the pure water from the springs of the lofty slopes, unrivalled elsewhere in all the world these gifts of nature to "The Land of the Sky" draw the ever swelling throngs of summertime rest and recreation seekers to Henderson ville. Not only for the increasing num bers of tourists, but also for the multiplying stream of people who are choosing Hendersonville as the place for permanent residence, the housing accommodations of the city are proving the need of expansion. Even with the remarkable building boom that has been in progress here for two years, and still continues un undiminished, there are at the pre sent few if any vacant houses. There has probably been no year in the history of Hendersonville when she has offered more in the way of amusement and pleasure to the tourist than the present. Hender sonville is wide-awake to the needs and wants of her visitors and is giv ing them the advantage of a good deal of experience in entertaining visitors. The increasing use of the automo bile has been of great value to Hen dersonville. She has recognized the need for roads on which the summer people can reach the various points of interest and has been hard at work providing them. Camping sites are provided for those who wish to make the popular trips through the mountains in their cars, stopping where they please. An attraction that has been urged for a long time is a good golf course. Hendersonville now boasts of one, onu which she is proud of. The re cent additi n of a club house at the links has added greatly to the pleas ure and convenience of those using the course. According to officials of the club, the number of people who take advantage of the new course increases every day. In Laurel Park, in Kanuga and in many other pleasure spots, Hender sonville has something to boast of. Both of the above mentioned places have been improved for the summer and offer even greater attractions than ever before. It is the concensus of opinion that this season will see a larger number of people here than ever before. . E. HENDERSON, Charlotte, Head Adviser, Head Camp, W. O.
