Important Meeting.

We are requested to announce that
a meeting of the business men and
citizens of Henderson will be held in
the court house at 4 O'Clock Monday
afternoon to discuss the hotel propo-
sition. Those who are interesting
themselves in the matter believe they
have something in sight.
Let every man who has the interest
of the town at heart attend this
meeting. No more important and
far reaching subject could occupy
their time and attention. The need
of a new modern hotel in Henderson
is admittedly first and foremost of
all others. The times demand it and
we stand very much in our own light
in not providing it.

The grocer watched the big fellow
and saw him go out the back door

wrapper and proceed to take draw

This habit that they have adopted
is responsible to a certain extent for
the drunkenness that has prevailed
among the Indians in the last few
weeks, and is thought to be the cause
of the trouble yesterday when John
Mitchell beat his mother almost to
death.
Several of the grocers have ceased
