1t is believed that the next session OF
the North Carolina Bar Association
will be held in Hendersonville. At the
last convention, held at Wrightsville,
and which Major Pickens attended,
armed with proper credentials from the
city authorities and the board. of trade,
his urgent invitation to the Association
to hold their next meeting in this city
received ''the hearty endorsement" of
that distinguished body of men.
Therefore, the resolution, as passed,
gives the lawyers and citizens generally
of HendersonYille every reason to be-
lieve that the 1907 convention will be
held in this city, and it will be q keen
disappointment should they decide to
go elsewhere. There is q warm well
come waiting for them and nothing will
be left undone to make their visit here
the pleasantest and most agreeable Of
any of their sessions.
The:claims of RendersonVille are we'll
founded, and it is believed must decide
the executive committee t make q
decision in favor of this city.

Hendersonville, and recently received

Dinner at the Blue Ridge Inn.

y. Ef-4NEA
That Mr. A. C. johnson, the ReniaI
proprietor of the Blue Ridge Inn
.'knoWs how" to appeal to the hearts OF
his friends, was fully demonstrated to
the satisfaction of q large number OF
invited guests who sat down to q most
excellent dinner Ct his hotel last Sum-
day at three o'clock. His guests did
ample justice to the good things set be-
fore them, and Mr.. johnson is q most
hospitable host, who derived his great
est pleasure, almost, from seeing his
friends enjoy the really fine dinner he
had taken such pains to set before them.
After the banquet, short and snappy
speeches were made, in which reference
truthfully made by many that they
were too full for utterance"-and no
wonder, when n glances at the menu
below. The menu cards were; the sub
ject of much favorable comment, and
were kept by the guests as q souvenir of
q most enjoyable occasion.

FROM CAPT, TOMS

To the Land Owners and Citizens of
Henderson County;
This is . final appeal in behalf of the
Lake. On March 10 the lake directors
NADIA conference with the men who Lro-
pose to furnish the capital to build the
great lake. There was such a wide diff
ference between the prices asked and
offered for the lands surrounding the
proposed lake, that the capitalists ask
ed to declare the the deal off, but by
the earnest entreaty of the Board of
Directors they agreed to give 10 days
more time in which to see if the prices
of the land could~be reduced. The adj
ditionaI time exires on the 22nd of Mar.
Unless satisf. Glory terms q be- had by
that date the opportunity is forever lost.
Messrs. Anderson and Garland have been
appointed a committee to make q last
call on the land owners, and we most
earnestly request of every land owner
to make such reductions as will get the
lake. There will be a final meeting of
the citizens of Henderson county on
Tuesday, March 10Th, at IL o'clock q. m!
at the court house which meeting every
citizen of Henderson county and es-
pecially every owner of land within the
lake boundry is most earnestly urged to
attend, at which meeting the question
that.ha been on the lips of every man
for the past four months twill. the lake
be built" will be answered yes or no and
whether the answer Is yes or no will
depend upon your action on that day,
Come to the meeting without fail.

!Capt. M. G. Toms, President,
/ RendersonvIlle Lake, Land & Power Co.
fF He~ndersonville, N. C.
Dear Sir:
My associates and / are firmly convin-
that has been Optioned to the Henderson
vile Lake, Land and Power
Company are too high. We
hope that such lands will reach these
figures in value when the improvements
but to ask us at this time to pay such
prospective values is out of reason.
In view of the public interests and
the great public benefit to be derived
from the construction of the lake, we
believe that the people of Henderson
county do not wish to try to take adj
vantage of the situation, and by selfish
ness thwart this enterprise. If you will
sea these parties who are holding their
lands at exorbitant prices. an let as know
within ten days whether or not our
proposition can be accepted, we shall be
ready to close the matter with you.
You will understand, of course, that
time is essential, and we must know
within ten days what to exyect; other
wise our proposition must be withdrawn.
Very truly yours

SUPERB FAUST
IS RENDERED
San Carlo Company Adds Gounod's
Great Opera to List of Successes.
"carmen" Sung at Matinee
to Good House

Faust was never better sung in
pany did it last night. That is saying
good deal. Faust" is an opera
which perhaps oftener than any other
is we'll rendered by an average COM
pany. The principal roles are for So
prano and baritone or basso, and the
tenor part is of ompGratiVely minor i'm
port. Thus it can be given with more
mediocre talent than is possible in an
opera calling for a strong tenor.
But no matter what the demands
made upon the San Carlo company, it
always seems to fulfill them. Last
night a superb rendition was given of
this opera by a cast that might we'll
have been denominated all-star. With
Nielsen making her American debut as
Marguerite, and Constantine singing
Faust for the first time anywhere, it
may easily be seen that the perfor-
nance was unusual and epochal.
1t need hardly be said that both these
singers did nobly never were better
heard. The two we'll known feature
numbers the "Salve Dinora" for Faust
and the jewel song for Marguerite
were both great hits and the former
was repeated by general demand. Sc
gurola gave us his best Interpretation
in the part of Mephisto, reminding one
strongly of Eduard de Reszke. For
mari was the Valentin, and of course
was fine Nine. Perego won a success
as Martha and even Siebel ranked well
up in the hands of Nine Monti-Baldino
In the afternoon Carmen" was sung,
with Dereyne repeating her former sue
cess. The balance of the cast in the
main did well, but the performance
was not as good as a whole as was the
case on its first presentation.
Tonight La Boheme" will be repeat
ed, with the same great cast that rem
dered 1t before. Friday night "Pagli-
acci" and Don Pasquale" have been
selected for the double bill, The latter
was given without chorus by Nielsen
last season.
Some friction developed yesterday
about the financial division of the COM
panys affairs and those of the local
management. but it was asserted last
night that all would be adjusted today

According to Patrolman King the
young men endeavored to enter the
theater in company with a drunken

and tried to force their way through
the door. Officer Lynch attempted to
stop them and the young men succeeded
In taking his club from him.
King showed up at that moment
and claims Low knocked him down.
King then grappled with Low and sue

blue gown. the one he had always
loved, and the one she had worn on
that glorious day. Suddenly her heart
almost stopped beating and her breath
came in short gasps as she heard hur-
ried footsteps coming across the car

looking into the depths of those yearn-
ing blue eyes and was enfolded in those
