The Clarke Hardware

Work on the excavation forthe
Clarke HardwarelCo s new build
ing on Main street has been
started. The new building will
be two stories high, 62 feet front
and lis feet deep, with a Z 1-2-
foot basement under the entire
building. The front will be of
Washington pressed brick. There

continue their retail business in
addition to opening a wholesale
department..
The second story of the build
ing will be divided into two Z
room flats, modern in every par
ticular, with baths and all conven-
fences.
The store room will be extreme
ly handsome. The walls decor
ated in Nile green, the metal
ceiling, in cream, and all mer-
chandise displayed in glass cases,
using theWarren system of shelv-
ing for this purpose. The center
window of the store will contain
a plate glass SO X 160 inches, the
largest in town, with prism lights
above to carry light to every
part of the room.
When completed this will be

HENDERSONVILLE A
DISTRIBUTING POINT.

The shipments of candy for
the Christmas trade received ct
the Hendersonville freight depot
is six times larger this year than
last.
The sweet stuff was consigned
to the three wholesale grocery
h ouses: the Hendersonville
Wholesale Grocery Co., Slayden-
Faykes, and the Calhoun Wilkins
Co. Last year there was but one
wholesale house here. Now
there are three and six times the
amount of candy has been sold.
This simply means that Hen
dersonville is THE distributing
point for this part of the State.
This fact has long been recog-
nized by those conversant with
conditions here, and it is now be-
coming more plain every day.
1t was the realization of this
important fact which prompted
the Clarke Hardware Company
to embark in the wholesale hard.
ware business, and for whose
immense building on Main street.
ground is now being broken.
It is of interest, too, in this
connection, to note that practi.
cally all the freight received a
.Brevard is consigned to Hender
sonville.

ATTEMPTED JAIL DELIVERY.

The guests Of Sheriff Black
wells popular hotel, becoming
tired of hotel life and desiring to
doia little Christmas shopping be-
fore the stores became too crowd
ed, attempted to leave last
Thursday night, about II O. clock,
without saying goodbye to the
Sheriff. Which was mean and
ungrateful of them, wasn't it,
now? q. B. Stroup heard the
gentle noise of a file. He awak-
ened the Sheriff. They went
outside and both listened, and
then they went upstairs. But of
course each and every prisoner
was sound asleep. My goodness,
how sound asleep they all were,
to be sure! Couldn't hardly
wake 'em up at all, they were
that sleepy. But the Sheriff
found three bars filed through,
and had not Zeb Stroup been a
light sleeper the hotel would
have been as empty as John
Grants campaign promises on
Friday morning. The prisoners
now sleep in the cage" from
where there is no possibility of
escape, and they will not do any
Christmas shopping for some
time yet.

Mr.. A. A. Gates relates this

man there sufficient number to
completely cover his three-room
house, including the roof. They
were left at the hotel, from time
to time, by men advertising a
certain we'll known brand of
tobacco, who were supposed to
fasten the signs to trees, fences
and buildings. The unused signs
accumulated so rapidly that I
was obliged to get rid of them.
