The Hendersonville Chautau-
qua should be mos tliberally pat
ronized by Hendersonville peo-
pie.
A list of attractions the equal
presented at any Chautauqua in
the country is here offered for
the edification, the amusement
and the moral uplift of Hender-
sonville's citizenship and visitors.
Hendersonville Chautauqua,
already we'll know far beyond
Hendersonville, should be the
means of this city being more at
tractive to it's thousands of visi-
tors, and afford its home people
an opportunity of hearing men
world-famous, for a minimum
sum.
The attendance should be much
greater than it has been, altho,
of course, the horse show has
occupied public attention, gener-
ally to the exclusion of every
thing else.
Yesterday afternoon, Capt.
Jack Crawford, the poet-scout,
was delightful. His experiences
as told on the platform were
thrilling, his recital of them fine.
Last night Rev. William Spur
geon, whose name is known all
over the world delivered a lee
ture which held the closest at
tention of his audience, and his
talk seemed not more than ten
minutes long.
Tonight, the Weber Male Quar-
tette of Boston will be at the
Auditorium. Their voices are
superb and no finer quartette ap-
pears on any Chautauqua plat
form.
So, the Chautauqua is a good
thing for Hendersonville. 1t is
an Hendersonville enterprise,
backed by Hendersonville money,
and is entitled to the hearty sup
port of our home people.
Go tonight, EVENT. it does rain,
and tell your friends that Hen
Jacksonville has a Chautauqua,
and an excellent one too.

By 1910.

Yes'm, Hendersonville's on the
map.
There's two big buildings, each
three stories, to be erected on
Main street.
Then the new railroad looks
quite healthy. Got a decided
glow of health on its cheeks, so
to speak, and a wicked look in
its eye.
Then there's something's else
going to happen here. Some
thing real nice. Mustn't say
anything about it for a little
while YETI But it just shows
that this town is a comer-good
place to do business-good place
to live and own property.
J. C. Morrow says the outlook's
fine in his line-building sup
plies and lumber, you know.
Taking everything into con-
sideration. and applying our Taft
like judicial mind to the PROPOSE
ton we may state that Hender-
sonville will have l 1000 popula-
ton by 1910.

On their return to the Lyric
Theatre, the Chree Lorettas were
expecting to have a large crowd
as usual, but the rain barred the
crowd last night. The audience
was again we'll pleased at the
show
J.E. Shipm an, Esq, has return
ed to his home in Columbus.
Mrs. M. Bloodworth, of Wilm-
ington is at the Gates for some
time.
Mrs. Sam Johnson, of Spartan
burg, is the guest of her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph McCrary. \
Mrs. W. P. Lane continues to
improve and friends are entirely
hopeful of her recovery.
G. S. Trunscott and wife, of
New Orleans, are stopping at the
Gates.
All trains are running behind
time. Tis said they have orders
to run slower schedules and to
be on the lookout for washouts',
and.other Instructions during this
rainy weather. It is well to take
every precaution for the protec
ton of passengers and employees.

Two hundred guests is no small
small crowd to be comfortably
domiciled uuder the same roof.
That's the number now to be
seen at popular Hotel Wheeler.
The Wheeler always gets it's full
share of the tourist trade.
The visitors are continually
arriving in Hendersonville. They
are fleeing from the storms of the
far south, so those who are a little
inclined to grow respondent in
Hendersonville, must bear in
mind that they can't find con-
ditions any better elsewhere.

John:-Yes, in Paris and New
York the ladies now wear socks,
the same as men, instead of stock
ings. They reach half way to
the knee and are held in position
by a garter worn above the knee
with strips of ribbon attached to
the half hose. Really, we are not
in a position to answer your in
quiry as to how popular the fad
is in Hendersonville.

H. Yerger, of Jackson, Miss,

Mr.. and Mrs. Monroe, of Mon

They will be the guests of Miss

Dfsagreeable weather for. the

they are faithful little fellows
and go about their task cheerfully
at the appointed hour every day.

Trust Busters.

During the year ending June,
1907, the federal treasury depos-
tied more than SlOO,OO0O0O in
national banks. The Standard
Oil bank in New York city and
the two principal banks domi-
mated by J. Piermont Morgan re-
ceived about so per cent of those
deposits. and all other banks in
the United States got 30 per cent.
When the small banker hears ar
guments from Republican sources
setting forth tha, par,y's solici-
tude for the banker. 1t might be
well to remember the figures here
in set forth; they are from the
official reports at Washington.
They are exceedingly interesting
to bankers. as well as TO others.

High Mesas.

The farmers on high mesa
lands of the western slope have
finally come around to the con-
clusion that their fine country is
just the thing for growing winter
wheat and as a consequence they
are putting in a good deal of it
this autumn. IL is time for every
body over in that region to wake
up to the proper appreciation of
the possibilities of the mesa lands
sloping down from the mountains.
The plateaus are mostly above
the range OF irrigation d for
this reason they are adapted to
fall seeding of both grain and
grass because the snow lies on
them all winter to provide plenty
of moisture for early termination

Say Your Say.

If you think q friend needs roasting
do not chew the rag OF boasting to
the fellows how the rascal YOU
will fay,
Hunt him up and bravely meet him.
in manly manner greet him, get
your talker into trim and say your
say.
If brother has offended the affair
cannot be mended If you prate to
other parties till you're gray.
Visit the offending sinner lust as he
has finished dinner and is in a
contented mood and have your say
If your editor. should hit you with Il
roast that seems to fit you like a
shoe that pinches where your
cornies stay,
Don't tell your fellow creatures how
you'll lacerate his features-beard
the lion in his den and blaze away.
If the minister advances some err
ratio view that chances to conflict
with your opinion. don't you bray
Like an ass with noisy clatter: seek
him and discuss the matter, get
your argument in shape and fire
away.
Always act upon TIE level. round
the stump don't whip the devil:
never be afraid to have your little
say.
For the one you wish to hear it will
admire your spirit If youn meet
them face to face and blaze away.

Effects OF CoIors.

Tests with red, green, blue and
white light during the last two
years have shown a French ex-
perimenter that colors have effects
on vegetation that may prove of
great practical importance. Under
red light, for instance. the growth
of vegetables was fifteen times as
rapid as under blue light. Blue
light, on the other hand. had a re-
markable preservative power on
growing vegetation, and two
years after planting, the first
leaves of an oak tree were as
fresh and vigorous as ever. OF
even greater economic value
seems the discovery that ripe
fruit keeps remarkably under a
blue screen, showing no decay
after several weeks.

MIR. STAYBOLT AS SANTA CLAUS
Some Things He Would Like to Give
If He Could.

'Do you know the Christmas pres
ent I'd like to make if | could?" said
Mr.. Staybolt. I'D like to give cheer
fulness to the downhearted; courage
to the timid, and strength to the weak;
the power of self-denial to those who
yield too easily, and a desire to work
to the lazy.
II have often thought what a pity
1t is that you can't buy all these
things, these helpful qualities, already
put up and at such a price as to put
them within the reach of all; canned
cheerfulness, bottled hopefulness,
courage in tablets, and strength, say,
in the form Of a powder, and so on;
or you might, l suppose, put 'em all
up canned, for that matter.
"But in the absence of such market
preparations and our consequent in
ability to buy such things and send
them as gifts to those whom they
might most benefit perhaps you will
permit me to offer to each word Of
suggestion.
ITO the dispirited take a cheerful
on the doleful side. To the timid,
don't be afraid. To the weak, or those
who fancy themselves so, try your
strength. You'll be surprised to find
how much you've got.
To those who yield too easily, deny.
yourself once, and again, and feel the
joy and strength that will come back
to you. To the lazy, get job with
shovel, in a gang of laborers, under
driving boss; and If you are not glad
to get back to your present job to do
the best you know how at it, l miss
my guess.
Il can't send you these things in
cans or bottles; but if anyone of you
will take my advice and stick to it,
you'll think that Mr.. Staybolt was a
very kind Santa Claus"

meet them," he explained to the men
standing near. otherwise the poor
fellow may have a surprise he won't
like on Christmas day"
To the stage drivers dismay there
was 40 answer to his call. Fathers

serted.

With fear for the safety of his pas
sengers, the stage driver drove down
the trail to the valley.
In the meantime the two plodded
along on the sure footed burros, call
ing merrily to each other as they
passed the well-known landmarks
On and on, up and up they toiled
the snow falling faster and faster, the
wind more furious every minute One
mile, two miles BY that time the
snow blinded them and but for the
faithful burros they could not have
kept the trail. 1t grew colder and
colder, and the short afternoon was
ended. That meant sudden darkness
among those solemn, snow-clad peaks.
1t meant too, that mother and Nina

were thoroughly frightened They
couldn't talk except to urge the burros
on. The wind took their breath.
''We won't be Christmas presents,
I'm afraid" sobbed Nina, through
chattering teeth.
Say your prayers" suggested moth
er, lit is all we can do now"
They had long since dropped the
reins and trusted the burros to choose
their own way. Mother recalled story
after story of men who had perished
on those mountain trails and she
blamed herself for ever attempting
such a journey. Suddenly welcome
sight appeared before the struggling
travellers.
"The lights of Mr. Deans cabin!"
exclaimed Nina "Oh, mother! We
have reached Mr.. Deans ranch and
we're still alive! Tomorrow we'll
see father!"
A funny thing then happened Both
burros began to bray. Mother and
Nina laughed and cried at the sound
Instantly the signal was answered
Robert Dean flung open the cabin
door and in food of light beheld his
visitors.
well, well, well!" he exclaimed
who told you that we're having
Christmas dinner here this evening,
turkey and all? Why, Miss Nina, your
father is or was at the tablet"
The next thing Nina knew she was
In her fathers arms and mother was
removing her wraps.
Are we frozen or anything, moth
err" asked the child
No were all right and so are the
burros,' was the reply.
"Oh, how glad everybody isl" the
little girl exclaimed. "And I'm hungry
-and-and father, we're your Christ
mas presents!"
Father, for some reason couldn't say
thank you,'' but didn't speak of re-
turning the precious gifts and it is
doubtful if anywhere in the valley be-
low there was such happiness as filled
the mountain cabin that Christmas
eve.

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS GIVING

Give willingly.
Give tactfully.
Put thought into your giving
Don't consider return gifts.
Never give to others what you
wouldn't want yourself
The unexpected gift insures a spe-
cial appreciation.
To give ostentatiously is the height
of bad taste.
Give to the sick and the sorrowful il
you would know the true joy Of giving
Never give more than you can af-
ford. Your friends know your circum-
stances as well as you do yourself and
the pleasure of both giving and re-
ceiving is lost.

CHRISTMAS PROVERBS

The love-light in the eyes of the
precious ones of the household is the
most brilliant of Christmas illumina-
tions.
The soft Christmas light is not the
least welcome where the shadows of
bereavement have fallen during the
year. The Christmas angels hover
over such dwellings, of sorrow in min
istrits of divine love-
1t was the Christ who said: ut
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Again, he said "Inasmuch
as ye have done it to one Of the least
of these, my brethren, ye have done it
unto me-"

With tender visions of delight

The joyous time is drawing
nigh, the time of turkey, pudding,
pie; nor do we dream of after
ills, of squills, and pills, and
Christmas bills.
A girl begins to hang up the
mistletoe at about the age when
she stops hanging up her stocking.
- -
A pessifnist is a fellow who
wouldn't hang up his stocking
for fear old Santa Claus might
swipe it.
Christmas cigars are not
always puffed up with pride.
- -
There's many a slip 'twixt the
Miss and the mistletoe.
- ~
Don't make it too strong.
Many a man has been knocked
out by one good, stiff punch.
- -
Ask a truthful woman what
she enjoys most about Christ
mas, and she will tell you the
bargain sales afterward.

To sing a rhyme of Christmas
time (that line is but the first of
it,, here's hoping you may not
feel blue because you get the
worst of it.
When a child writes a letter
of thanks to Santa Claus, it
should be cherished like a rare
plant. That lid isn't long for
this world.
No Christmas present is so
useless that you can't pass it on
to some one else next year.
Remember that it is better to
give than to receive-the things
you don't want.
- -
Take off the tags. Many a
friendship has been severed by
the price mark on a Christmas
present.
- -
/ have often wondered wherein
consisted the wisdom of Solomon
when he had a thousand wives.
I am now convinced that it must
have been in living in the days
before Christmas was celebrated.

It's all right to pity the poor
at this peace-on-earth season,
but it is also we'll to remember
that sympathy doesn't fill an
empty stomach.
