IN MEMORIAM.

The announcement of the death
of Prof. E. w. Gurley comes as
a sad surprise to his many friends
IN this community, where he has
made his home for many years.
He was a native of Ohio. born
in West Union, Adams county,
August 9th. 1884, and he spent
his early boyhood days at Zanes-
vile, 0. His school days were
spent at Oberlin, o., being edu-
Gated at the Wesleyan Methodist
University, and he devoted the
the active years of his life to
teaching, being regarded as an
educator of more than usual abil-
lty. From Ohio he removed to
the West, establishing the Hes
perian Institute at Pepin, Wiscon-
sin. At the outbreak of the
Civil War, he responded to Lin
coins call, making a free gift of
the school building to the citizens
of Pepin. He entered the ranks
as a private soldier of the Sixth
Wisconsin volunteer regiment,
but his ability soon won him the
promotion to Quarter Master
Sergeant. in which capacity he
served till the close of lthe war,
when he returned to Ohio, where
he married Miss Sybie A. McKes-
son, of Cleveland, in Sept. IA,
1866, and after some years of ed
ucational work in Ohio he re-
turned to the West, being one of
the original colonists of Greely,
Colo. In 1881 he came South, re-
siding for a time at Washington,
D. c., and finally removing to
this section in 1883. His illness
was of short duration. He leaves
four children to mourn his loss,

For the Hustler.
"GlanrpHH'' .
BY
CHARLOTTE YOUNG.

So long as there's a little child
Who wants to hear a tale,
So long as there's prison
Holding people, sad and pale,
So long as sick ones suffer
And needy children cry,
| never mean to sigh and say
| wish that I I.could die.
Sorun along, small worries,
! have other things to do,
| must tell the little children
That the sweetest tales are true,
! am busy with my loving
And loves work that must be done
In winters shine of freight
And summers shine of sun.
Q, | love to love and labor,
To sing and laugh and strive,
For love my fellow c reatures,
And I'm glad am alive.

Charles Ross, one of the best
known and most popular young
men of this county, died at his
home here, on Nov. z, at 8

Beautiful Kanuga
Lake and Some
Local Stockholders

The construction of the big
club house at Kanuga Lake,
which alone will cost over $1O,-
900, has been started. Contrac-
tor Bane has the contract for
the building and it will be COM
pleted by Spring.
Work is being actively pushed
along every line of this really
gigantic enterprise, and next
season will see scores of repre-
sentative people spending the
summer amidst conditions which
will seem to them almost ideal.
AS has been told in these col
umns, Kanuga Lake, with it's
club house, its cottages, its beau
tiful lake and magnificent drives,
is to be the summer home .of a
representative company of peo-
pie, the idea originating with and
being developed by Mr.. George
Stephens, president of the Amer
lean Trust Company of Charlotte
and an extensive owner of real
estate in this city and county,
Mr.. Stephens says the encour-
agement the club has received
has even surpassed his expecta-
tions, and there is now assurance
of the fact that a most delight
full company of. people will be
brought to Hendersonville in the
near future to enjoy the advan-
tages which Kanuga Lake will
afford them.
Mr.. Stephens well says: "Of
course, many of these people
will become interested in Hen
dersonville in a business way, as
well as having it as an objective
point for summer recreation and
pleasure, and I am looking for
ward to the time when my de-
velopment of Kanuga Lake will
be recognized as one of the agen-
cies which has helped to build up
the business and social life of the
City of the Glad Hand. >"
A partial list of out-of- town
members of the Club was recent
ly published in this paper. Fol
lowing are some wellknown
Hendersonville people who are
also members.

mr.. JOHN GRANT, !.
KEEP YOUR PROMISES!

During the heat of the late
campaign, Congressman-elect
Grant promised
To get an appropriation for a
Federal building for Henderson
vile:
To get an appropriation to
blast out Buck Shoals, thus re-
claiming thousands of acres of
what is now waste land.
Mr.. Grant will keep neither Of
these promises.
Mr.. Grant knows it is impossi-
BILE for him to keep them.
Mr.. Grant knows that the
South will get no appropriations
from Congress. Altho' he will
be amongst his friends, altho' he
is a Republican Representative
in a Republican Congress, still
he will get no appropriation from
this Congress for a Southern
district. The Northern republi-
cans are not built that way.
They want the Southern votes
but they prefer to keep their
appropriations where they will
do them the most good.
Hendersonville needs a Fed
eral building and needs it bad.
This town has outgrown her pre-
sent postofice building, and
with her steady and constant
growth it will soon be entirely
inadequate for her needs but
Mr.. Grant will get no appropria-
ton from a republican congress
for this purpose.
Neither will he get an appro-
priation for blasting Buck
Shoals.
Mr.. Grant will not, he cannot,
keep either of his promises, and
he knows it!

articles of almost, priceless worth
gathered by Mrs Eastman from
all over the world.
It is said that Mrs. Eastman
signed certain papers presented
to her by Col. McBee without
any knowledge of their contents,
and a1tho it was her money
which bought the property and
furnished the house, that she has
little evidence of record to show
that the place is hers.
The most sensational allega-
tions of the whole affair are said
to be contained in a warrant
sworn out by Col. McBee's son,
Eckles, against Mrs. Eastman,
and which will be heard before
Squire Fletcher of Fletcher, on
the 18th of this month.

MrS. OOpnl0 Eastman, OF
Fletcher, has sued the Buck
Shoals company and Col. V. E..
McBee, Of the same place,
for an investigation of the affairs
of the company, to cause its dis
solution, and to declare the rights
of Mrs. Eastman. Her attor-
neys are Adams and Adams,
Jones and Williams, of Asheville,
and w. A. Smith of Henderson
vile.
Mrs. Sophie Eastman is the
daughter of Carter Harrison, for
many years mayor of Chicago,
and is the sister of Carter Harri-
son, jr., who was also mayor Sof.
the Windy City.
It is claimed Mrs. Eastman
furnished the money to buy Buck
Shoals, formerly the home of Bill
Nye, that it was to developed,
that she has little record evid-
ence to show she is the owner,
and that she has been elected
from the property by Col. McBee.
The Colonel was at one time
a prominent railroad man. He
is tall and handsome. Mrs. East
man, a strikingly beautiful wo-
man, is divorced from her hus-
band.
1t is said Mrs. Eastman has
spent about $4,000 on the pro-
perty.
The troubles of Mrs. Sophie
Eastman, Of Fletcher, with her
one-time manager, Col. McBee,
will be aired in court next week,
and promises to be full of sensa-
tions.
Sheriff Freeman, with Deputy
Powers, have been spending
most of their time lately in serv-
ing papers on the different inter
ested parties and in guarding the
disputed property.
1t is said all the trouble and
consequent scandal and airing of
dirty linen originated in the fact
that Mrs. Eastman wished to sup
plant Col. McBee as manager of
the estate with a man named
Edwards.
Col. McBee is now under a
bond of So. 500 in bail and arrest
proceedings.
Mrs. Eastman has attached all
the personal property and chat
ties on the estate, giving bond
therefore in the sum of $1,000
She has also brought injunction
proceedings against the Colonel
and the Buck Shoals company
enjoining them from selling or
disposing of the property.
Silas G. Barnard, of Asheyille,
has been appointed receiver of
the property with a bond of $500.
John Lance, of Fletcher, repre-
sents the receiver and is in act
ual charge.
The house, a twelve-room
dwelling built by the late Bill
Nye, is magnifcently furnished
with the costliest and rarest |
furnishings. 1t contains many

A VIENNA PROBLEM.

Cold weather in Vienna has given renewed activity to the movement for abolishing the custom of raising the hat as greeting and substituting the military salute A club committee which has this aim in view has decid- ed to invite members to join. It will confine its operations to Vienna alone for the present and there is curiosity to see whether the ultra-polite men of Vienna will accustom themselves to the proposal
 Of course there are two sides to this momentous question, as there arc to all momentous questions. One of them is that polite man ought to be willing, for the sake of politeness, to run the risk of catching a cold" even death cold. The other is that a po- lite man or polite woman ought tc be willing, for the sake of politeness to allow a polite man to avoid running the risk of catching a cold, even 8 death cold. The best definition of DO. liteness we know of is this: True kind. ness, kindly expressed. If this defini. l ton is considered good in Vienna men will probably be allowed to sa. lute with their hats on during colo weather

castellated factories. 1t can be admit ted that such factories might be some what picturesque, but so is the Niagara scenery.
 A timely illustration of how castel- lated factories would add to the seen cry is furnished by Dr. J. w. Spencer, the British scientist who was commis- stoned by the geological survey of Canada to make an investigation of the Niagara Falls problem. He finds that the diversion of 10000 cubic feet of water per second, as asked for in one proposed franchise, would destroy eight hundred feet of the eastern side of the Horseshoe falls and break up the American falls into separated streams. The total length of both falls would be contracted from nearly 1000 feet to, say, 1,600 feet. and the diam- eter of the great fall from 1,2oo to 800 feet. Only the Canadian side of the Horseshoe falls would be left. Lake Erie would be lowered three feet. This
 in turn would lower Lakes Huron and Michigan.
