Some people preach a doctrine not
very comforting. One old darkey
preacher around here told his congre-
CATION the other day that there were
but two roads through life. One, he said
lead to "hell and damnation, and the
other to death and destruction"
The last meeting of the Board of
Trade was attended by handful of
men The Importance the interest at
tached to their remarks, the matters
considered, were of vital Importance to
every business man in HendersonYille
and Henderson county. Many matters
concerning the welfare of this city were
considered, the short speeches made
relative to them were interesting to
degree, and its pity there were not
a couple of hundred of our citizens there
to listen and profit. Here is an organi-
cation, many of whose members devote
time they can ill spare to duties thrust
upon them by their membership in it,
which is devoted solely to the upbuild-
ing of this community, an organization
which is pushing and pulling for A
GREATER ENDERSONVILLEA ALL
the time, without respect to political
conditions or any other conditions, and
handful of people attend ther meet
ings! When Hendersonville has finally
arrived at the point which is her mani
fest destiny, when Hendersonville is
THE city of Western North Carolina,
when Hendersonville has factories,
sanitariums, and many thousands of in
habitants, the credit must 60 to the
Board of Trade and to those faithful and
devoted ones who have sacrificed their
time and energies to bringing those in
terprises here.
And the time is not far distant when
GREATER Hendersonville will be an
accomplished fact. No city is deYelop-
ing so rapidly as this. More people are
coming each year to enjoy the beautiful
sky, the wonderful air, the superb
scenery, and the famed hospitality of
our citizens, and the number. will keep
on increasing.

A Southern train, through some &C
cident, happened to be on time, the 9TH
er day. A pair of spirited horses be-
came frightened at the escaping steam
from the engine, and began to prance
around. The colored driver became
angry, and tugging at the lines, cried
out: ''What you frightened at, you fool
horses? You get scared just cause the
train happened TO be on time, for onceH'
Few men here have greater faith in
the possibilities of Hendersonyille than
A. A. Gates.
Mothers are often too careless about
leaving their children entirely in the
hands of their nurses. A case in point.
Last Friday colored nurse left a pret-
ty little baby sitting on box. at the
depot, and was busy talking to her
dusky beau. The child fell and struck
the hard ground, and was knocked
senseless. Watch your nurses!

received from the articles in the Jack

cost many times what it took to enter
tain the Florida editors here j. NJ.
Waldrop says Hendersonville was most
thoroughly advertised by those gentle
men. he Hustler has printed many of
the articles and there's another one in
today's paper
Capt. B. T. Morris tells this story:
A man named Townsend became angry
at colOred man and drew a pistol on
him. The darky was thoroughly fright
aned, but drawing back step and but
tOning his coat, he said: ''Shoot, shoot
if you want to, Marse Townsend, but
I'd much ruther dat you wouldn't!''
