A HOME OF HUSTLERS,
A Live Town, a HOspitable Town,
Town With Future Before it.

Mr.. James |. McRee, of Raleigh, was
here attending the Episcopal Convention
last week. He writes thus pleasantly
OF our place and people in the Aeus- o.
se1rcr:
4 recent visit to Henderson has made
it evident to the writer that there is no
buster, brighter, more progressive town
in the State than the one in question
The bOOms of other towns may rise and
fall but the boom of Henderson seems to
go steadily on to place the town speedily
among the leading cities of the State.
New enterprises, new factories, new bust
ness blocks, new and elegant residences
attest the solidity of theprogress already
attained and the probability is that this
progress will continue indefinitely. The
trade Of the town grows constantly, and
the farmers in its vicinity are diversity
ing their crops, under intelligent leader
ship, to their own advantage and that of
Henderson as well. There is cheer and
confidence in the face of every Henderson
man you meet and there is "hustling"
everywhere throughout the town.
To this vim and energy and goa head
ativeness Henderson adds the charm of
lavish and refined hospitality, and the
members OF the Episcopal Convention,
recently in session in its beautiful church
OF the Holy lnnocents, are loud in their
praises OF this characteristic, shown by
its people absolutely without regard to
UNCONVENTIONAL differences. Its men are
clever and obliging, its women gentle,
beautiful and cultured. 1t is as busy as
bee all day long but never too busy to
take a visitor by the hand and make him
feei at home among Il courteous and hos
pitable people.
The combination of ''hustling' and
hospitality is rare, but it has an abiding
place in Henderson. Let those who are
disposed to hustle and are at the same
time anxious to grow their respective
vine and fig-trees in the neighborhood of
the ''hnstling'' take notice and govern
themselves accordingly. Henderson is a
very home of "hustlers'

Are provided with an improvement con
Si>ting Of an elastic insertion at the inner
and outer seanis, which gives elasticity in
movement amt comfort in fit. The draw
ers are cut in figure outlines, and afford
the wearer all the advantages of knit
goods, while retaining the superior conf
fort of woven fabric. The patent elastic
seam, which contains no rubber, retains its
springiness, and wears longer than the
other portion of the garment. 1t makes the
drawers conform to the position of the
wearer, and avoids any strain no matter
what attitude the body assumes
These drawers conform strictly to the
outline of the figure when standing at rest,
and give ease and comfort, and are with
out that tightness of feeling necessarily
produced by other garments
One OF the peculiarties of these drawers
is that the seams only being elastic, they
allow remarkably easy action in walk
ing, as all the friction caused by motion is
at once transferred to the seams, while the
main fabric of the drawers is allowed to
retain its shape and position.
1t will also be found that these Patent
Elastic Seam Drawers are equally we'll
adapted to all athletic positions, and allow
the greatest freedom and ease of motion
In the position assumed in the above cut
not the least tension is produced on the
main portion of the goods, while the elias
tic seams allow the transformation of the
figure as seen in the position, which would
be impossible in others without producing
great strain on the goods and friction upon
he person. Call and see them.
