Last Thanksgiving we published many
reasons from many people why they
were thankful,
But what's the use this Thanksgiving
We all know some of the reasons why
we should be thankful.
We are thankful that the new steam
road is to be built and that the electric
road will soon be under way. Both
these great enterprises will put tens of
thousands of dollars in circulation in
Henderson county.
We are thankful that the farmers have
had good crops and that the thousands
of dollars sent out of the county for feed
stuff last winter will remain at home
this year.
We are thankful that the financial
cloud lowering over other parts of this
country has not settled down in Hem
derson, and we are heartily thankful
that our banking institutions are in the

hands of safe, sane and conservative
men,
We are thankful for the moral and
physical well-being of the community.
We are thankful that the poles are
out of Main street and that they won't
go back, leaving the finest street in the
world free from distractions.
We are thankful for the blue skies,
the warm sun and the health-laden
breeze and this wonderful climate which
restores the i'll and keeps the well strong.
We are thankful for so many things
we just can't think of them all, so what's
the use of going around and asking
people what they're thankful for?
So far as the Hustler is concerned it's
thankful for an increased and quite
healthy circulation, thank you nam,
for good business, for bright prospects,
and the confidence of its home folks. So
there, now!

gathering of Hendersonville's

NEW MANAGER

IN TELEPHONE OFFICE BYP.
BACON OF PORTLAND.

P. Bacon of Portland arrived in the
city this morning to succeed George
Coombs as manager of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany in this city.
This comes as result of the long.
loud and vigorous kicking against the
telephone service in this city. MIR.
Coombs was reported some time ago
to have resigned but said at that
time the story was not true. How
ever he has been succeeded by Mr..
Bacon and the change will go into eff
feet as soon as he learns the ropes
here.
When interviewed this afternoon Mr..
Bacon said:
II have been here such a short time
that really cannot say what will be
done about the service here. 1 know
nothing of the state of affairs here and
am not qualified to talk about them.
OF course l will do my best to rem
der the service good but further than
that l can say nothing"

less than $40 for this offense, thaugh
many people, and some not very fg-

With notices posted calling attention

CARELESS OF COST.

Red red, red. Everything at the Da-
-Kaser's big department store is
red. All day long the clerks have
been attaching the red tags denoting
the cut prices for the big sale which
begins tomorrow and the store this af-
ternoon looks like it had been struck
by some bad man from Arizona, who
had started out TO paint the town'red
and used his whole supply on the
mammoth stock in the progressive de-
partment store.
From the hardware department as
you enter the first door on the first
floor, to the farthest corner of the rug
the carpet department on the third
floor, everything is marked down and
marked down big, too.
Nothing is cut less than 10 per
cent and that is not the average for
many lines are to suffer so per cent
reduction. But everything is to be
slaughtered. it must go to clear the
way for fall goods, say the proprietors
In the hardware department every
thing goes. Household goods. farm
goods, carpenters goods, everything
store is found here and found cheap.
Across the way is the furniture stock
Here the red tags glitter like cher
ries on a tree. They are everywhere.
Nothing is missed. Big easy chairs for
dad comfortable sewing chairs for
NAV, stiff, proper chairs for com
pany," study chairs for son, rocking
chair for little isis" a double sofa for
grown-up daughters. high chairs for
baby-they are all there and they are
there cheap. And pictures? Hundreds
of them. so cheap The Statesman re-
porter thought he was dreaming until
he put his hand in his pocket and
found it was empty. Then he knew it
is reality. 1t is. too, big one.
In all the other departments the
cutting is the same. Dishes, crockery
cut glass, rugs, carpets, a thousan
things needed by everyone ard prices
to match the need.
why are you holding a sale this
time in the year, when everything is
so dull?" was asked John r. Carney,
assistant general manager of the store
Any other time in the year trade
is good and we have all we can do to
keep up with the regular trade. NOW
things are dull. We need room for the
big fall and winter stock The two
combined make this sale possible. We
are cutting prices as never before.
That is saying a great deal for we
have had some big sales before. But
this one eclipses everything we have
ever had. before and we will clear Out
the stock we have on hand before IT, =
three weeks of the sale is over.
Our force of clerks will be doubled
in order to handle the crowd. We are
running the sales ourselves and have
no sales agents to pay. This saving we
are putting in the prices and we Will
make them right

SURPRISE PARTY FOR WONDERS
Penitentiary Boys Defeated Bal Tos-
sers from City in Close Game.

To the surprise Of more than a
thousand spectators yesterday, the
team at the state penitentiary RUBBED
defeat into the aggregation from the
city by score of 10 to 9. The game
was close, exciting and clean through
out and was pulled off in way which
will probably mean more of the sport
for the shutins on the hill.
About 900 convicts were present and
all were enthusiastic rOoters from first
to last. When some shaver CON
rounded the sacks for a three-bagger
they got up and yelled in a manner be-
coming to a crowd of college sports.
They were right behind their team all
through the game and this accounts,
in large measure, for their victory.
Nearly 200 fans went out from the
city to see the game and got their
swiftest exhibitions of the national
game seen in this vicinity this year.
Williams and Roye did the battery
work for the convicts and they were
there with the goods at all stages of
the game. Roye went in from the first
to get some strikeouts and he got 4
nice little bunch tied up in his mitt
before the last out was decided.
For the Wonders, Aubin, Seigrist
and Harmon did the grandstand
stunts. They played a gilt edged game
but were outclassed from the first ball.
The cons were heavy hitters, however
and they lined out the swift ones with
little trouble. AT this though, the boys
with the striped uniforms took their
seats pretty regularly and the game
was at no time cinch for the win
ners.
All concerned were pleased with
more than likely more of them will
the outcome of the game and it is
be pulled off in the near future.
