1886

was educated at Mills River Academy
His great-grandfather was one of the
first settlers of North Carolina, and his
father, Benjamin Williams, is now a
prominent planter of Henderson county.
1t is a striking feature of humanity
to feel a certain admiration for the man
who has attained success by virtue of
personal efforts and Mr.. Williams is
certainly a man who comes under this
head In 1874 he was nominated and
elected sheriff of Henderson county and
so well did he perform the duties of the
office that he was continuously reelected
up to 1882. In 1873 he was appointed
railroad agent at Hendersonville and
held this position through clerk, so that
it did not interfere with his duties as
sheriff.
In 1893 he was elected to represent
his county in the Legislature and made
n fine record as a member of that body.
In 1896 he resigned as railroad agent
and was reelected sheriff and again
elected in 1893.
Mr. Williams is member OF the Ma
sonic fraternity and is an Odd Fellow.
OF a genial disposition and pleasant ad-
dress. public spirited and generous to a
fault. it is not strange that he should
have so many friends: and no man IS
more universally esteemed than Jona-
than Williams. May his future be one
of prosperity.

Wash day is a day of sorrow looked
forward to once week by the house

Laundry they have a wash day every
day except Sunday. Cleanliness is next
to Goodness so the old saying goes,
and there is a good deal Of truth i'll II.
This is especially true of the people Of
Hendersonville in as much as they have
in their midst one of the finest steam
laundries in the State. 1t was establish
ed by Messrs. w. III. and j. It. Stepp,
two enterpirsing business men who pro-
pose doing the work not only for Hen
Jacksonville, but for all the surrounding
country, establishing local agencies i'll
the smaller towns. The plant is brand
new and equipped with all modern ma
chinery, everything being thoroughly up
to date, and it stands out today one Of
the best lalindries in the State. Hendcr-
sonville is proud of this laundry, proud
because it's work is il glowing advertise :
ment to the town and hence as Il mark
of esteem the patronage becomes larger
and larger. Once a patron of the Hen
Jacksonville Steam Laundry always 80.
To those who have never patronized this
laundry the courteous managers, Massr..
Stepp Brothers only ask a trial. Their
work is their best advertisement and
in this, they, as in all else. typify the
standard of excellence.

DR. Few holds distinguished posi-
ton in the public esteem of this State

work for years for the most exclusive

North Carolina, and Bl2ckville, s. c.,
having a residence and business in
each place and spending the s,ln'pars

him professionally and personally for
his many sterling qualities and true

take when they say that ION seeing the
danger the engineer whistled down
brakes" reversed the lever, and
jumped OFF," The expression down
brakes" he says: has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when a collision
seems impending is to shut off steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds, and in that time all that
human effort Is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be done.
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air-brake
has been applied, because the reversal
reduces the resisting power of the
brakes.
