 Uncle Henry had his drink with the chemist and followed it up with many more with each of the rest of the com. pany in turn; delighting them the while with moving tales of weird ad. ventures. So entertaining was he that 1t was well after midnight before uncle and nephew reached the latter's home.
 Uncle made himself so agreeable at breakfast the next morning that when Packman. as his wife helped him into his coat in the hall. humbly suggested telling uncle he must go. she would not hear of it

Found a Mares Nest.

The few opponents to the develop
ment of Hendersonville and Henderson
county who are endeavoring to get
signatures to Q petition asking the
county commissioners to rescind their
action about the bridges, are making
much ado over nothing concerning
another matter, namely a letter from
the Norton's in which the latter say
they will apply for an injunction as soon
as the dam is started.
This phase of the matter had already
been considered by the HendersonviRe
Lake, Land and Power Co., and II Is
claimed the Supreme Court, In almost
similar instances, has held that the
complaintants can recover damages
only. It is proposed to guarantees the
outside capitalists freedom from any ex-
pense which may arise in this connec-
tion, and it is claimed there 10 not the
slightest probability of permanent in
junction being granted.

The cotton mill which Mr.. Calvert

ons for wishing to build here. He be-
liOves the labor of this section to be un-
surpassed.
It would undoubtedly DO the means of
keeping the people Of Henderson county

many new settlers. The pay roll of a
mill this size would amount to thousands
of dollars each week. The money would
be put into circulation regularly and
would be of great benefit to the
whole, community.
The location of the mill ,woAld be on
the outskirts of the town, nd would, it
t1 claimed, In no way interfere Wlbn

claimed there are more residences now

scarcity of building material. which is
