The Asheville Home and Loan
Association have concluded to start
a new series Of stock. The past
record of the association is splenkid.
It shows net interest of ten per
cent for the year. This on the
small numberot shares. TO double
the number of shares would add
but little, it any, to the expense, and
the interest would be even greater
than the past two years. Any one
can compare this with the amount
he would get in savings bank and
see the wonderful difference. Be
sides this the association is of incal-
culable benefit to the city in that it
furnishes means fer the building of
homes. The money is lent on long
time at 8 per cent. Any stockhol-
der is entitled to borrow money to
the amount of his stock, in the or
dor: of application. There can be
no better investment to the man
who wishes to place money ai.iHE5It,
est or to sGue; and the same may be
said of the one who desires to bor-
row.
The advantages offered by the as
sociation to the the mechanic and
laboring man whose earnings are
small and who wish to bvild homes,
are especially good.
All persons thus in crested will
please call on Mr.. E. I. Holmes, Sec
retary.

Rev. "A. Coke smith.

This eminent divine will preach
in the Presbyterian church this
morning. Rev. Mr.. Smith is
merely a visitor upon the Holston
Conference, being one of the
Professors of Wofford college,
Spartanburg, S. G. Prof. Smith
is considered one of the strongest
pulpit orators of the Methodist
Church, South, and we bespeak
for his hearers both intellectual
and spiritual enjoyment. AS an
homiletical preacher he has few
equals, arresting the attention of
his auditors in such manner as to
enlighten the mind, and subdue
the heart. He will also, tonight,
at the Methodist church, deliver
missionary address.

MaSOuiC Hall.

At last the Masonic Fraternity are
to have temple of their own, an
edifce worthy of an order that goes
back to the days Of King Solomon,
perhaps farther still. to the days
that bordered close upon the flood;
at all events far enough to have ens
velcped masonry in a sacred mys-
terry and attach to it the veneration
of civilized man. It's mission is
charity, and its pathway is strown
with the blessings of relieved suf-
fering. "
The order here is a hourishing
one, and embraces among its mem
be- s, worth, intelligence ana wealth;
and it is animated by pride in its
own welfare and public spirit for
that of tie community. It could
make no more conspicuous evidence
of its interest in the community
than in the erection of a hall,
monument of its taste, libsrality and
public spirit.
And in connection with its pure
pose, we take pleasure in publishing
the following:

LINDAUER FAILURE.
How the Brothers Had Conveyed Away All
the Property Except That in the
Sheriff's Hands.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. 29.-There was
another sensation i'll the Lindauer failure
this morning. 1t was announced that
Judge Prendergast would this morning
render his final decision in the case as to
whether or not the assignment was volun-
tary. Before Judge Prendergast was
ready to announce his decision in the
matter Attorney Mayer, who repre-
sentS the unsecured creditors, said
he had the books of the de-
funct firm examined by experts who
had discovered startling discrepancies
therein. 1t had been found, Mr.. Mayer
declared, that several accounts had been
transferred in an irregular manner, and
some sensational Developments might be
expected. Mr.. Mayer stated that he
would ask at the conclusion of this expert
testimony that SelZerberger, who had
given testimony i'll behalf of the Lin
dauers, be indicted for perjury.
Adolph Ascher, an expert accountant,
was then called on the witness stand. He
said three books OF accounts in custody of
the court were examined for the first
time last night, the examiners being the
clerk of the court and representatives of
all parties in interest. Mr.. Ascher
testified that the books showed
1922 1927 worth of book accounts
or bills receivable of the insolvent
firm had been assigned to various credi-
tors of the corporation. 1t had been ad-
mitted on behalf of the firm that 5000 ZOO
worth of accounts had been so consigned,
but the books showed they had failed to
give the full amount which was in fact
over S92 200 more. In other words, the
Lindauers had conveyed away all of their
property except their stock of goods III
the hands of the sheriff. 1t was chiefly
on the strength of litigation that this
S92 200 in book accounts had not been
assigned that the Lindauers claimed

To the Cattle Producers, the Cattle Dealers and
