o THE HUSTLER.

Maud Muller on a summers
day
Raked the meadow sweet with
hay
While she raked deep in
thought
In terrible trap she was caught
She stumbled over an old snake
at rest
And stuck her head in a hornets
nest
The Judge whizzed by in an au-
tomobile
But Maud was afraid to move
or squeal
What on earth was she to do
Trembling there betwix the two?
For as she stumbled over the
snake
In her excitement dropped her
rake
One step backwards and the
hornets would sting
One step forward and the snake
would spring
Of all sad words of pen or
tongue
The saddest are the I'm hornet
stung
Now let me tell We what poor
Maude did
She stood as still as a coffin lid
Presently the old snake
crawled away
And Maud resumed raking
the hay.

When Charles Dickens was in Wash

steps OF the capitol a young congress
man from Tennessee whom the great
novelist had offended by his bluntness.
That morning Dickens was in great
good humor. 81 have" said he, found
an almost exact counterpart of Little
Nell"
Little Nell who?" queried the Ten
neSseean.
Dickens looked him all over from
head to foot and from foot to head be-
fore ne answered, "My Little Nell"
"Oh," said the T-ennesseean. st didn't
know you had your daughter with
you'll"
Tam speaking of the Little Nell of
my story. The Old Curiosity Shop

"Oh," said the imperturbable Ten

Don't you consider that a rather tri-
hing occupation for a grownup man?"

IL Is o generally known that the
chinese laundry system Of ticketing a
bundle OF soiled clothes is based on
the many gods and goddesses Of the
laundry.
The Chinese laundryman at the be-
ginning OF each week makes out a
batch or checks in duplicate, to be
used as wash tickets. He selects the
name OF some god or goddess or Of
some object, as the sun, the moon or
stars To this name he prefxes a
number, as "Moon No. l." Moon No.

to Dr.. A. ]. Lyday, deceased who
settled in what is now Transyl-
vania county, in the valley of the
French Broad river, which place
was her home during life. She
was a member of the Presbyterian
church, having been christained
in infancy.
Mrs. Lyday was the mother of
IL children, of whom a little
daughter at two years of age and
Mrs. Joseph Blythe precede her
death. Of the 10 surviving,
Geo. T., Andrew D., DR.. w. M,
DR.. A. E., Eliza o., Leon F. Mrs.
P. C. Surrett, Mrs. Samuel Own
hey, reside at Broad Valley; Mrs.
J. P. Allison at Walhalla, S. C..
and Mrs. G.B. Morgan, Asheville.
She was a woman of great
industry. Her husband being
one of the few practicing ply
sicans of the country, the great
burden and care of the home de-
volved upon her, and though
these cares deprived her of church
privileges, her children-promi-
nant physicians, school teachers,
farmers, farmers wives these,
among the public spirited and
most enterprising citizens of the
country, stand as a monument to
her faithfulnessi in their training
all of whom are members of the
church, Eliza o. Methodist and
the rest of the Baptist.
She was not forgetful of the
poor about her, but of her sub
stance ministered freely to their
needs. "Inasmuch as we have
done it unto one of the least of
these We have done it unto me-
Matt. 25:40.
It was our privilege to be at
her bedside while she was sick.
At one time she sent for US to
go. She wanted to talk of the
eternal" We read the scrip
lures, talked and prayed with her.
We are not informed just when
she first confessed Christ, but
there, her children gathered
about her, she, though extremely
weak, gave expressions of her
reliance upon God as her strength,
her refuge, her salvation; that
she had nothing to fear and was
trusting Jesus" Yes trusting
Jesus in the hour of death.
Great faith-an heir of Him by
faith, she has gone to receive her
inheritance-that inheritance
that fadeth not away, reserved
in heaven for you who are kept
by the power of God through
faith unto salvation" 1. Pet
Ia, S.
Her body was carried to the
Davidson River cemetary, and
there surrounded by her many
relatives and friends who gath
cred to do her honour. After
services conducted by tbs writer
she was laid by her husband to
rest until the Lord himself shall
decend from heaven with a shout
with the voice of the archangels
and the triumph of Cod" to gath

so shall we ever be with the
Lord" Wherefore comfort one
another with these words" 81.

it was the best entertainment

ceived, and that it was the
biggest attendance, and the DIR.

The Asheville Gazette-News
had Splendid reports of the en-
tire proceedings, well illustrated
and the Grand Lodge extended
a vote of thanks to that paper
and also to The Hustler.
The local Odd Fellows deserve
the highest credit for bringing
the Grand Lodge to this city.
1t meant money, time and labor.
but they feel well satisfied with
the results. Hendersonville and
its attractions are now known to
many more hundreds of the best
citizens of the State. Which is
good, of course.

WHO KNOWS?

Who knows what goes with tax
money? This is a query that a
great many people can't answer,
yet when asked a question, the
most of them will give an answer,
an answer too that does not sound
good to me Is it a private per-
sonal matter, or is it apublic mat
ter? 1t seems to me, since the
money is raised by public taxation,
that it might as well be a public
matter.
The officers of Henderson Co.
are paid for their work, or at least
they ought to be, and to hold an
office is honorable or ought to be;
then why not let the taxpayers of
Henderson Co. know what goes
with it??
1t is apublic matter for the tax
payers to pay his taxes and if he
does not pay them, it is a public
matter for his name, the amount
he owes, his land, and his property
to be advertised for the same.
We see now in the columns of the
papers, property advertised to the
amount of over $4,000. Well, this is
right. It is for all to pay. But what
goes with it?
Speaking.directly to the officers
of Henderson County. Do you
realize how ignorant the country
people are, of the public affairs of
ourgcounty? What is the Icoun-
tySworth?H ow much tax money
is raised? How is it raised? What
is the property tax rate? what is
the pole? What does it it cost to
raise the taxes? What do the
courts cost? How m%nchgdoesii the
county owe? Who do we owe?
What is it for? What interest are
the debts drawing? When do they
have to be paid? What salary or
amount of pay do the officers get?
So many people do not know who
the officers are, nor what their
young boy to prepare himself to
seek office? Or wouldit be impro-
fitable? Would it not be a nice
thing for some officer of our coun-
ty to show the people just what
the tax-money is being used
for? Why are taxes increasing
every year? Do the courts cost
more? Is there more crime comm
tilted? Do the officers get more?
Well then what is it? Must we
expect it to increase for the next
Offices are. Would it pay the apt
ten years, as it has in the last.
Is it probable the poll will reach
six or eight dollars in the next
decade. Would it not be wise to
let the old farmers of HENDERSON
County have this information?
Is it ignorance for a man to not
know the answer to the majority
of these question? Well if it is and
any one thinks the common peo-
pie of Henderson County are not
ignorant of what GOES WITH THE
TAX MONEY" in our County; |
ask you to make a tour through
the County and find out the facts
in the case.
Knowingsthat others, as well
as myself would be glad to be
made wise on some points along
this line is, what prompted me to
write. I am honestin believing
that the citizens of the County
have a right to know what goes
with their money. / am writing
expecting information not for
slur.
