complicated WITH kidney disease, and
during a period of Inconsistencies
which had lasted since Saturday af-
ternoon.
Senator Allison was born at Perry,
o., March 81, 1929, the son Of John
and Mary Allison. His boyhood
days he spent on the farm, which was
his birthplace. Reaching young man.
hood, he secured his education in
Allegheny college in Pennsylvania,
and the Western Reserve. college of
Ohio, in both of which schools he dis.
tinguished himself, winning high hon.
or in all the branches which he stud.
led.
To Senator Allison, more especially
than to any other man who " occu.
pied q seat in that body, belongs the
title Of Father Of the Senate" He
was not only one of the oldest men
in that body, but he held the record
beyond all others for length of service
there. More important still, his ser
vice in the senate was such that his
title to the position depended not at
all upon mis- advanced age or extended
service. Senator Allison was at the
time of his death, and had been for a
third of a century, a leader in fact
as well as in name.
Mr.. Allison entered the senate on
March 4, 1878, and had served contin-
uously eve since, making the longest
service as a member of that body ever
covered by any individual. When he
died Tuesday he had just completed
the fifth month of the thirty-sixth
year of his occupancy of this impor-
tant post. His present term would
have expired March 4, 1909, but he
had already been nominated by pri-
mary for still another term.

Huh! Ta|kinQ
About Peaches

Pshaw, 'twould make a wooden
Indian laugh to read in the Ash
eville Gazette News of their So
called big peaches on exhibition
there.
AS everyone knows, the true
home of the biggest and; finest
peaches grown is right here in
Henderson County.
We have mentioned as,few fine
examples of what can be done
here along that line. B. w. Mar
shall and Joe Holbert have shown
the world and Asheville what
kind of peaches we grow here.
Now comes w. B. Reed, of
Naples, with a nine-ounce beauty
and it tastes just as good as it
looks and that's going some, ssyou
will admit.
But DR.. Columbus Few, owner
of South Brook Farm, is a quiet
man, who says little but who
grows fine peaches. This morning,
for instance he dropped into the
Daily Hustler Office with a Heath
Cling peach in his hand, weighing
thirteen ounces of dainty, de-
licious peach! Think of it'll It's
rounded cheeks kissed a blushing
red by the ardent Southern sun,
it's delicate bloom but Rruffled by
the mountain breeze, it is a test
imonial to the wonderful qualities
of Henderson county as the home
of fine peaches.
DR.. Few brought the peach to
town this morning, and several
desperate men at the depot, not
ably John Liverett, who has the
biggest potato ever grown on ex-
hibition at a store there, end
Favored to hold him up and take
the peach from him. But the
Doctor is a quiet man, he was
seeking no trouble, so he whipp-
ed up his horse and brought the
largest peach yet grown in Hen
erson county, to the Hustler office
where it has been admired by
scores, where it is guarded from
Ed Brooks and Col. Bill Hewitt,
and where it's flavor will finally be
tested in the customary manner.
