The Y. N. C. A. Gathering

The establishment of the yearly con.
vention and training school of the Y: H.
C. A. and allied organizations ia the
city would be of great benefit to the
community, both morally and financial
ly.
The Board Of Trade has been working
on the matter for some time past, and
have had several conferences with the
gentlemen interested. DR.. Brown and
w. D. Weatherford came over from
AshsVille on Monday last to investigate
local conditions. With q committee
composed OF DIR. r. 3. Grinnan, c. 4.
Brooks and w. A. Smith and DR.. L B.
Morse, these gentlemen took dinner at
the Hotel Gates and afterwards looked
over certain proposed buildings, re-
turning to AsheYille in the evening.
They expressed themselves as being
very fAvorably impressed with the city
and its surroundings, and il 10 believed
Hendersonville stands an excellent op-
Portunity to secure this great annual
gathering.
They would be in session from June
to September 1, would spend SI6, 900 on
buildings, construct @ three acre lake
for bathing, have many lecturers of
note present, and bring from 600 to 1910
students here. This number would be
largely swelled by their friends.

!. P. Hickman,
President Of
The Bank of
HenderSOnville


Mr.. J. P, Hickman is again President
Of the Bank OF HendarsonvIlle,s succeed
ing Mr. A. Cannon who resigned last
Saturday.
The success of the Bank of Hender-
sOnville under the conservative presi-,
dOney of Mr.. Cannon has been remark
able, the last statement of the bank pub
lished In this paper showing an increase
Of deposits of $1,000. which was COM
msntsd upon at the time as being an ex.
ceptionally good showing.
When Mr.. Hickman resigned from
the bank it was with the intention of
taking years rest. He has been so
actively Unidentified with the Bank of
HOndersonville, that really his identity
has almost become merged into it, and
he nuds it. impossible to keep out of
harness.
The bank and no less the city is e. be-
congratulated upon the fact that ]. F.
Rickman is again at the head OF the
''old reliable" AS banker and finan-
cier he enjoys reputation extending
beyond the confines of Western North
Carolina, and has he has given the Bank
Of HendersonVille his best talents, his
greatest endeavOr. The fruits of his
labors are shown in the reputation the
bank enjoys, which is second to none.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that the bank has increased its
capital stock to 100000, its constantly
growing business rendering this neces-
ssry.
The bank prospered under ]. r.
Hickman. it prospered highly under
Albert CannOn's capable management,
and under its old president it is believed
will go toward by leaps and bounds,
keeping pace with the progress of the
city aud county, and instilling that
absolute confidence which, after all, is
the conner stone and foundation of any
successful banking institution.

The masquerade at the City Rink
last Saturday night attracted crowd
which completely filed the big building.
About 75 m&Skers were on the floor, and

chinese lanterns hung from the rOOi
and the dense crowd OF spectators for q
background.
There were tramps, and chinese, and
Mother Eve, and Columbia, and M&rtha
Washington. butterfly, old gentlemen,
and many other kind of disguise, and
most OF them were extremely effective,
making the task OF the judges hard
one. Mrs Lila Riply Barnwell, J. r.
Hickman and His Homer Mayor Schenck
acted In that capacity, aud they finally
awarded the jewelry casket to Miss st.
Clair Hawkins, and the loving cup to
Master Hickman and Few, both young

Miss Hawkins was dressed as oolum-
bia and made q striking picture. In
presenting her with the prize Mayor
Schenck said IL was always pleasure to
pay tribute to the American flag,
The two boys were gotten up ON the
Gold Dust Twins, and looked startlingly
real. The decision Of the judges was
heartily applauded by the crowd.
Jesse Reese, rs "Weary Willie" was

imagine more ridiculous figure than
he presented on the floor. AS skater
Mr. Reese has no superior In this town.
That tall young lady In blue, with 4

with such rare taste and discrimination
was the biggest kind of success, too.
