HENDERSON is up and doing and
reaching out after greater and
grander things than she has yet
known. We believe the outlook for
the town is more encouraging than at
any period in its history, There is a
more hopeful feeling, more cheerful
spirit apparent. Our people are
closer together, and more ready to Co
operate with each other. \ stronger
community interest prevails and a
broader view of things is taken. Com
mercially. industrially, mentally and
spiritually the town is alive, its peo-
pie are not asleep. The lethargy of
former,years enveloPs it no more.
