HENDERsoN.-Ou little neighbor
across the Kanawhn, is on quite a
boom just ut this time. Lots arc
changing hands quite rapidly, aud
some fifteen or twenty houses will
be erected in different parts of the
town this spring and summer
Recently thoy have built very
nice two room school house and a
commodious brick church. a new
enterprise has just boon started to
be known as the Henderson Furni-
ture company, with MIR. II. f. Nor
rfs as Manager and Superintendent.
AT this time it is a small affair, but
still it has large order from Pitts
burg for barber shop furniture, and
the first shipment ofwash stands was
made Monday. 1t is the intention
of the company during the summer
to erect a 40xs0 two story building
for factory, when they will go
largely into the manufacture of OK
tension tables, and expect to give
employment to from forty TO fifty
hands. This will be a great help
to this euterprising little town, and
will contribute largely to tho build
ing up of the town. The town is
not incorporated, and has been
badly neglected by the County
Commissioners in the keeping up of
the roads and streets. We are told
the Surveyor has not done any work
on the streets of the town
for over year. Tho County
Court should look into this
matter and make an appropriation
sufficient to put the streets OF Hen
derson in fair condition. Thcrc are
many vacant lots in tho town for
sale, of which Capt. Bruce Hender-
son has some twenty or thirty,
which he will dispose of at fair
price on liberal terms. The owners
of the land over there will give
sites free to any one who will start
u manufacturing establishment of
any kind large or small
The people should take steps at
once to incorporate their town, or
else annex themselves to this city.
The latter would be the most pref
cradle.
