HERE And THERE

Wonder just how many Of our business
men were convinced by that attractive
woman Canvasser and subscribed two
dollars each for nm advertising card in
the thew Methodist Song Book?"
Evidently EendOrsonville's business
men would rather trust TO . short sum-
mer season of tourists than to cotton
mills as medium for putting money
into circulation here.
The summer visitors we have with us
only brief time. The cotton mill
would have been with uS twelve months
in the year, even during the winter.
Is land 30 high In Henderson county
that Il cannot be utilized for industries
to give the not increasing population
of the county steady employment? Not
q merchant or business man or real es-
tate owner here but would have felt
Immediately the benefits of A. b. Cal
verts $500. 600 mill.
But IL it's to be summer visitors only,
why, lets advertise the Incompatible i'd
vantages OF the town in that respect.
The town ought to be ms full in the win
ter as it Is during two months in the
summer. Certainly the winter climate
here leaves nothing to be desired,
Rev. DR.. BronRhton, of Atlanta, says
anyone who smokes cigarettes will lie
and steal. The 'steemsd Charlotte OBJ
server has been defending the coffin
nails. On Sunday. In Spartanburg, the
reverend gentleman made . venOmous
attack upon the Observer and that paper
replied thusly: "Ths Observer Is not
all that it ought to be and the people
who,make it have not yet attained per-
lection, but there la not q liar In the
bunch. -

The golden rule for q newspaper in
Hendersonville: ''If you know any
thing, don't publish 1t" 1t may be
talked of from the housetOps but 90 long
as 1t does not appear in print it's al
right.
The Jefferson Theatre Orchestra Is
Hne and Mr.. A. A. Gates would be voted
the most popular man in town If he
would arrange to have little informal
concert and invite everybody. It would
be q treat to those of us who are hungry
for some really ROod music.
Opinions differ as to the prospects for
q big season here this summer. Ashe-
vile seems TO expect o rOeOrd-breakinG
crowd, and according to the Asheville
papers her expectations are already
being fulfilled. In this city some claim
there are more visitors here now than
last year this time, while others say the
opposite is true. There is an inclination
it 10 said, for the people to scatter more
throughout the entire Western part OF
the country than heretofore. Last sum-
mer the number of people here reached
hlgh-water mark, and it win be inter-
estinR to note what this season will
develop.
Asheville has Board Of Trade. Sc
has HendersonVille. The AshoVille
Board of Trade sees to 1t that the city is
we'll advertised, In every way, thro
newspapers and booklets. Henderson
Vile has absolutely no advertising mat
ter of any kind to distribute. In the
opinion OF many Of our business mer
this is serious mistake, from which the
town will suffer. Every letter mailed
out by any business man here should
contain some advertising matter about
HENDERSONvILLR.
HendsrsonYille iS undoubtedly thu
most attractive resort town In Western
North Carolina. In many respects NJ
other town can compare with 1t. 1t ha
lpeculiar climatic advantages. It's 10
cation is ideal. The scenery is unsur
passed. The roads will soon be as goo
m those found anywhere. The peopl
are hospitable and public spirited
There is every reason in the world VIII
,,,.,tors .honld come 20 HenderSonVlilC
!, in preference to any other town In We
tern North Carolina.
+ But they wont do it unless told OF thei
advantages. And the only way to te
" chem Is to advertise.
