Outside Capital Being Attracted to
HendersonyiIIe,

The c sale of the building nov
! occupied by the Bank Of Hendersonville
for $t0.inO, to Mr.. e. o. Edwards, of
Sumter. s. c.. is one more Indication of
what outside capitalists think of the
future of this progressive town. In ad.
dltion to buying the property occupied
oy the bank, Mr.. Orr also purchased
from Mr.. Grimes the old John Grant
property. and two of John Orr's model
cottages. Mr.. Edwards is satisfied that
Hendersonville is the coming city of
Western North Carolina, and Is backing
his faith with money.
The Bank of Hendersonville, will, of
course remain in the building, rs thew
have q lease for q term of years. The
sale of the building has absolutely moth
Ing to do with the bank itself. Indeed,
as a matter of fact. it places this already
strong and popular institution in a bet
ter position than aver to serve it's
patrons, with the additional capital re-
ceived from the sale of the building 1t
is interesting to note, also, that the
Bank of He~ndersonville is a home insti-
tuition, the stock being owned here,
paying state, and county taxes, and re-
turning the money earned into the COM
munity.
For a long time past there has been a
persistent rumor to the effect that Mr..
!. P. Hickman, president of the Bank
of Hendersonville, intends erecting a
modern bank and Office building. While
we r unable to obtain an afirma-
ton or denial of this rum or,
the sale of the land and building
seems to lend some color to it, and it
would not be surprising to see the Bank
OF Hendersonville housed in q handsome
new structure before long.
In two words, the sale of the property
has absolutely nothing to do with the
banE itself, except to place it in a still
stronger position than ever before. Mr..
J. i. Hickman, n of the most promi-
nent and popular bankers In Western
North Carolina, and who has the con-
ddence of every business man in this
section of the country, will remain at
the head of the Bank of Hendersonville,
directing and increasing it's sphere of
usefulness and service to the communi-
ty, lending himself to all those move
ments which he believes to be Of true
benefit to his home town and county,
and which, we are confident, will some
day compel him to erect a building to
accommodate this bank which will be a
suitable home for it, and which will
give Hendersopviile q modern hand
some, up=to-date bank and office struc-
ture.

lightning, and almost completely
destroyed. The bolt played q strange
prank, as it not only split the tree, but
broke it up into many large and small
pieces. Part Of it fell over on the
house, without, however, causing n
damage. Mrs. Reed had just passed
under the tree when the bolt struck.
A robin was found in the tree complete

small hole in its head. 1t is considered
a very narrow escape for Lieut.. Reeds
