lst Saturday, F. w. Scheper, whose
summer home is In Hendersonville, lost
very heavily. The fire originated in Mr.
Scheper's stables, which were destroyed

To correct a wrong impression, it may
be well to say that it is not the Toxa-
way Company which has gone into
bankruptcy, but the Toxaway Hotel
Company, an entirely distinct organi-
cation. The Toxaway Company, who
developed and own that wonderfully
beautiful country is no wise concerned
in the failure.
It has been suggested that a shed for
the street sprinkler would be a good.
thing. It could be constructed at small

wishes to congratulate the Hustler upon
two things. One, because there's a
new latch upon the front door. Second,
because he win not DO obliged to sell

town.
Mr.. J. P. Hickman says he's always
glad to get back to Hendersonville, after
one of his trips. He says there is no
brighter or prettier city anywhere and no
town where the houses are kept better
painted. The editor of the Brooklyn

had noticed that plenty of fresh paint in
a town WAS always a sign of prosperity
