The Hustler Print Shop has
been distributing some attractive
blotters, which, of course, re-
minded Judge Pace of a story.
Most everything does remind the
Judge of some funny story. A
little girl was asked to define a
blotter. She said: "A blotter
is something Dad looks for and
can't find while the inks dry

Mr.. BROWN
TO LEAVE

Mr.. Claude Brown has return
ed from Denver. He will re-
main in town only long enough
to dispose of his extensive inter-
ests here, when he will return to
Denver, his future home, where
he has already bought a hand
some residence, and where he
will engage in business. Mrs.
Brown will join Mr.. Brown in
the beautiful Western city, going
direct from Mississippi where
she is now the guest of her
father.
Hendersonville will m s s
Claude Brown.
For certain sufficient reasons
he has decided to make Denver
his future home. but only with
the keenest regret does he leave
Hendersonville-a town for
which he sees the brightest
future and of which he will ever
have the most pleasant recollec-
tions.
Few men have done more to
build up and help develop
Hendersonville than Mr.. Brown.
He has erected residences al
most by the score, and his mag
nificent country home on Hebron
Drive, perched high on a superb
hill, commanding a view of un-
surpassed beauty, is one of the
show places of the county. He
has spent many thousands of
dollars here in construction
work, his mammoth barns, have
been the scene of horse sales at
tended by buyers from all over
the South. and through Mr..
Brown Hendersonville has be-
come known to many sections of
the country as good place to
live and a good place in which to
do business.
Some famous horses have been
brought to this city by him. in
Guiding that magnificent stallion,
Hal Grafton, which is now placed
on the market,
His realty holdings here aggre-
gate probably $4,000 all of
which are now for sale, includ-
ing his superb home place with
all -itszcontents, pianos and pie
lures not excepted. His town
holdings include some of the
most desirable real estate here,
and will be offered at sacrifice.
His barns on West Aspen ST.,
the largest in the State, and the
solidly built skating rink, are
offered for sale or lease on favor
able terms and his stock of wag-
ons, surries, letc., fare all to be
sold.
Mr.. Brown has the reputation
Of being a quick trader. He is
obliged to be. in Denver within
three weeks and during that
time he will sell his real estate,
his home place, his
Main street ..and other city prop
erty, his stock of vehicles, and
make some disposition Of his
barns.
He also offers for sale his ex-
bensive stock in local banks.
Hendersonville loses an ener-
getic and fpublic spirited citizen
1f unquestioned integrity when
Claude Brown leaves, and Hen
lersonville's loss is distinctly
Oenver's gain.
