SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN.

Business good?" calculated a
saloon keeper today when queried
about HIS business today. Business
good and the water wagon Just
crowded worse than a street car in
New York? OF course, we fellows
had our end Of the fun before Christ
mas. and had heavy sales all during
the holidays, but when January 1
rolled around nearly all of my Gus
toners swore off. How long the reso-
lutions will last is various, as already
a few Of my old standbys have
sneaked in and hurriedly gulped
down drink before somebody
would catch him and demand thu
payment Of the bet. II will not sur
prise me In the least to see business
dull all of January, but by February
the trade will begin to return and
the resolutions will have been broken
for another year"

Boil Your Water.

By request of the Board of
Town Commissioners Of the
town, we publish the following:
1T appears from the late an
alysis Of the city water that it is
not absolutely pure for drinking
purposes, and it is recommended
that the water used for drinking
purposes be boiled, until further
notice. All due diligence and eff
forts are being made to correct
this condition in the wafer sup
ply"
Even at that, the city water
is UNNECESSARILY superior to that
obtained from wells. and it
would be extremely inadvisable
for people to use we'll water un-
til conditions at the reservoir
are corrected.
Simply boil your drinking
water for the present-a precau-
ton which is adopted by almost
every city of the North, and SO
avoid ALL possible danger.

County Commissioners
Ordered Anti-TOXin.

The county commissioners
have ordered a supply Of anti
toxin from the State Board of
Health, to be sold, at one-third
regular price. to those who will
appear before the Register of
Deeds and swear they are too
poor to buy it at it's regular
price.
Application for the supply has
therefore been made by DR..
Waldrop, county superintendent
of health, who will announce
later where it will be placed on
sale.
The State Board of Health de-
sires to get a supply of anti
toxin in every county in the State.
The regular price Of the medicine
is $500 per dose, and will be
sold to the poor, by these means
at about $1.3O.

The Citizens Bank Statement

The statement of the Citizens
Bank, published on the last page
of this issue, shows the remark
able increase of 80 per cent in
deposits since their last state
ment.
The prosperity of the commun-
ity is certainly most evident when
a bank, even a bank of
such high standing as the Citi-
zens, can make a showing like
this.
The Citizens Bank is about one
year old, and under the careful
and conservative management of
it's President, Mr.. F. E. Durfee,
and of its able cashier, Mr.. C. E..
Brooks, has established itself
firmly and solidly in the business
world of this part of the State.
It has shown a constant growth
since it's founding, and is contrib
uting to the upbuilding of Great
er Hendersonville and Henderson
County.

I1G1lOOIS N1lIO1 ~ ~"
Dear Sir:
Ilearn with deep regret that
you propose to publish a Sunday
edition of the Hustler. | regard
all unnecessary Sunday labor as a
violation of the law of God and
therefore I discountenance it. 1t
will not be urged that a Sunday
paper is necessary in Henderson
vile when no Sunday paper is
found to be necessary in London,
Toronto and throughout the whole
of Canada. But it may be said
that the Sunday paper represents
the work of the week rather than
Sunday. That must be admitted
in many instances, and where a
paper is in reality a Saturday
edition I see no worthy reason
for. calling it a Sunday paper.
But the fact remains that the
Sunday paper entails much I'M
necessary Sunday labor. 1t is es-
timated that $50, 900 compositors
and pressman are kept at work
seven days in a week in this coun-
try by the Sunday newspapers
to say. nothing of the army of
newsboys, trainmen, mailmen
and others engaged in their dis
tribution. If / had no regard for
the law of God, humanitarian
considerations would induce me
to oppose the Sunday paper in Or
der that these men and boys
might enjoy that rest which prac-
tical experience and the expert
ments of Haegler, Volt and Pol
likofer show that nature requires.
| hope that you will Ibring out
a special edition of the Hustler
but not as a Sunday edition. If
you decide to do SO you may
count on me for the contribution
of an article and for my hearth
est support.
And now let me express my
appreciation of the Hustler. A
paper more worthy of it's name
or more promotive of the inter
est of it's community it would De
hard to find. l sincerely wish
that you could see your way
clear to continue a daily issue
throughout the year.
Enclose find one dollar on my
account for the Daily Hustler.
Fraternally yours,
JOHN GRAHAM HUGHES.

Numerous stories of this kind are
started from time to time by foolish

am Obliged TO deny them,but as a rule

because denying them calls attention
to them and gives a chance to mis-

farms does not bear out the state
ment.
After the removal of the Lincolns
from the old homestead to Knob
Greek, whichwas about the time little
Abe was in his sixth year, the farm
fell into the hands of family NAM
ed Davenport. who, while granting the
neighbors the privilege OF the use of
the farm as a passway, erected gates
thereon. The farm has passed into
several different hands since the
days of Thomas Lincoln, and though
each succeeding owner has permitted
the old road 10 be used for public
travel it has always been done with
the understanding that 1t was still
private properly, and gates were kept
thereon to point TO this fact. And,
while the present owner, p. F. Col
Her, has extended the courtesy grant
ed by his predecessors the neighbors
who have used the old passway so
long WitnOut interference nave de-
cided to make assurance doubly sure
by getting an order from court set
ting aside the strip of ground as a
public thoroughfare for time immem-
oTfal, for, as one of those interested in
the roadway said, I'VE do not know
what sthe hour or day may bring
forth in matters pertaining to the
Lincoln farm, since recent develop
ments have hoisted 1t above the
sphere of mere commercialism, and
We took opportunity by the forelock
and Appropriated strip of the old
farm to our urgent needs before its
soil was pronounced by the American
people as too sacred for it's beauty
