They are dis tinctions which would oe highly piizcd by many a town whoso population numbers far up into the thousands. The first and the old-ir of these dis tinctions exists in the fact that for manny years more livesto-k has been shipped from that railroad staition than from another station in North Carolina. The Becond distinction which is of ery ie"ent origin, is found in the one anil lily pharmacy 'o-.tirj in Clyde Thi pharmacy is idmitf's.l'v" largcv, finer. better equipped and better nn.,l..l tt.n r.r -.ilin. ctnm ff it ."' o,t ti.. class in anv town in tnr State the , , , , i , I size of Clvde.

On Hospital THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. Editor Carolina Mountaineer: I want to say a word about the new proposed hospital for Haywood County. Don't know that I would have shown much interest in it had 1 not spent five weeks in the one now operated in Waynesville, the first of the year. I had a leg broken Mn the sixth day of last January, in an au to collision. Up to that time I had heard only of the hospital; but while there I found that it was one of the very important institutionas in the county. Every room and bed was full almost all the time I was there. People were brought there all times of day and night. The doctors op- I erated on sick people two or three ' almost every day. Many poor peo- P'e were brought there and treated r who could not pay at once, and were ' ' given the time needed to pay. No one was turned away on account of a. l : iL. i. i mn naving uie nionev to pay. i b , . found that many sick and hurt peo- , ,, pic could not be treated successfully at home, but must be under the care of experienced nurses in order to save their lives. Those who have never been sick much, nor needed help when suffer- in with b,oken bones- know the absolute need of a good hospital. But those who have been there and thoBe who have had loved ones there can appreciate its value, and will show "P-e "!' will not W a mucn as " neelel. d X1 de towar Providing what have in this cunty.

Church, South, July 7, 1925. P. S. I want to say that we have some as good doctors in this county as you will find anywhere. They are not only up-to-date, but they are kind and Christian in their treatment of the poor and suffering. I don't know if all of them profess to be Christians, but they do show a beau, tiful spirit of helpfulness to sufferers. E. K. W. STOCK RAISERS OF JACKSON ORGANIZE. Asheville Citizen.

Election To Be Held This Saturday, July 11th; Failure to Vote May Defeat Progressive Humanity Project How will vnii vote Saturday? I - -" j . Are you in favor of providing the best available means for saving human life? Are you in favor of placing within the reach of every resi dent of Haywood County the best possible service for the relief of human suiFering due to disease and accidents? And who can believe that anyone entitled to a vote is not in favor of all available provisions of that kind? A properly equipped county hospital stands at the head of all the proisivons of that class. During the last six or eight weeks a large number of the leading citizens of the county by means of communications in the columns of the Mountaineer have earnestly urged upon the voters the great need , the value, and hospital. To To all this explanation and feels that hardly another word . . , convincing and conclusive it is difficult to see how any reader of it possessed of the most rudimentary instincts of humanity , can remain unpersuaded and fail to vote for the hospital bond issue.

U... , 1 The Massie Furniture Company Adepts in the Cultivation of Good Will. Can you believe it? Believe what? That a single business concern in Waynesville, has, at retail, ever, is this territory, in the short period of two years sold three carlods of kitch en ranges. Unless supported by highly con vincing testimony few would be in clined to believe a statement to that effect. A casual survey of the country round about does not make it seem pf!L,lc that the ,iu.ir.."M' of in u homes established in this territory during the last two years added tt the number of old kit-hen sl.ives and ranges discarded during that time would equal the number of kitchen ranges it would seem possible to pack in' three freight ears In the face, however, of these re flections regarding the probability of the truth of such a statement th Massie Furniture nl, a day or vw ie. . state to a rep vjcntutiv" el the Mountaineer that in the tw.i years period ending with l!l.r, they will at the rate of the last eighteen months have sold three carloads of the fa mous Eagle Ranges in this territory. So far as the Mountaineer is aware the reputation of this firm, or that of any member thereof, for truth and veracity has never been questioned. Hence we are entirely cortfident that their .foregoing statement will go wholly unchallenged. The Eagle Range is widely adver tised and sold under an unqualified guaranty to give entire satisfaction to the purchaser. This advertising and guaranty, however, does not fully account for the seemingly phenoraina! sale of this popular range. Ther? must be something more back f it. Evidently that somethiii" is an extremelv nrtivp cniv! will wHirti ;that furniture firnl undoubtedly has acquired. And here ;t may be interesting t consider foi a moment what good will j consists of. It is an expression in but seldom do we find common use, anyone pausing to define it. If w i.ie not mistaken some high ccurt has i defined (rood will as "the disposition "I of a customer to return to the place 1. 1 ,..lw. u i i ... I, . ."urn: ,ir iihs ot'eii wen treated. I That is a clear cut definition, but it jdoes not seem to include all that I forms a part of good will. I It is a matter of common observa jtion that when a customer makes a . luiH-hasr that proves a little more I than ordinarily satisfaetorv. lie tells j his friends and neighbors about it i and of course tells w'lcv he made the purchase. I Good will may then he thought of as an invisible intangible force whose power is recognized and made l use of hy every successful merchan'. Th surprising sale of Eagl? ji.-.nges by the Massie Furniture Com. I pany may be taken then as conclw- iv 'vik""ce thnt Mr- T- N- Maa.i. and his three enterprisiinir sons. .1 K Massie, T. G. Massie and W. IL Massie, who compose the firm are, individually and collectively, adepts in the cultivation of good will. Other wise, they could hardly, in the compar atively few years the firm has bee in existence, have built up the mast extensive furniture business in West ern North Carolina west of Asheville. That they have done this seems un disputed. They buv practically aK lines they carry in carlots which give? them advantages which they pass on to their customers and thus nlon? with a small margin of profit gain an increase of everv growin" good will. The lines carried by this fi;-m in clude alono- wiith furniture, musical instruments of various kinds, carpets and other floor coverings and trunks and baps in great variety. The na tionally advertised Hoosier Cabinet it one of their leaders. Th? Massie Furniture Company have the only undertaking establish ment in Waynesville. They are fully eounped in every respect to render the highest class of service in this de partment of their business. That this firm wfH continue ' to grew in presti"- nil in distinction and that all Waynesville will take therein, is a safe prediction. 4 ...wi it i Tnr ifmnftrtf ViHsSsab A
