The really remarkable growth
of this town during the past three
years has attracted attention all

great part OF the material enter

come from the plant of the old

IIendersonville Lum-

tablished in 1889. 1t has a side

Among those who are rapidly

methods to their business, should
be mentioned prominently the
we'll known and progressive firm
of Case & Jones, Gamers of the
celebrated blue Ridge pro-
ducts which comprise tomatoes,
string beans, peaches and apples.
1t is said their product is the
very best ootainable-soI ripe,

In fact. one jobber recently re-
marked that he actually cut open
twenty-four different brands of
tomatoes, other than Case &
Jones' product. before he found
one that he considered full meg

One of the first places the Eour-
ist in Hendersonville is apt to
visit is the well-appointed jewel
ry store of w. H. Hawkins & Son.
on Main Street, but a few steps
from the postoffice. Many a fair
visitor is reminded of a pleasant
visit to a pleasant resort by,
maybe, a beautiful native stone,
well mounted, which may grace
one of her pretty fingers. and
which, of course, was purchased
at the jewelry store of w. H.
Hawkins & Son.
This well-known firm has been
doing business in Hendersonville
since 1880, and during that time
has built up an enviable reputa-
ton. They are watch makers,
jewelers., silversmiths and en-
gravers, as well as being dealers
in both native and imported gems.
Many thousands of beautiful SOU
venirs have left this store and
have been carried all over the
civilized world by visitors to Hen
Jacksonville. Mr.. Homer Haw-
kins, the junior member of the
firm is a graduate optician of ex-
ceptional ability, whose talents
in this line are fully appreciated
by the townspeople and the thous-
ands of visitors who spend the
summer here.
Both Mr.. w. H. Hawkins and
his son, Homer, are actively in
terested in all that pertains to
the towns welfare, and are per-
sonally identified with Hender-
sonville's marvellous G. owth.
They have kept pace with that
growth, and now today the
firm of w. II. Hawkins &
Son is we'll and most favorably
known far beyond the confines of
this city.
A visitor to Beautiful Hender-
sonville is sure of a cordial and
sincere welcome at this store,
whether intending to purchase
any one of the beautiful articles
on exhibition, from a souvenir
postal to a diamond, or to spend
a pleasant half-hour looking over
the superb specimens of pottery
and china, or whether merely
seeking information. In any case
the tourist is welcome and is as
sured of courteous treatment at
the jeWelry store of w. H. Haw-
kinS & Son.

1t must have been this old
fellow from whom Shakespeare
bought the poison Hemlock"
and ''the juice of cursed Hen
bane" which caused the visits of
the Ghost of Hamlet's father and
brought on the immortal tragedy
of Romeo and Juliet-centuries
have passed. The old term
.''apothecary'' is almost obsolete.
It's not very often that we hear
of him, for this appellation was
usually connected with the word
''shop," where roots, herbs and
barks from Natures laboratory
were stored and sold by being
made into vile. nauseous infusions
and d%ecoctions, stewed down in a
pot and drank by the goblet full.
The new era in medical science
is upon us and the people are
glad to welcome it. A man we'll
equipped with a knowledge of
materia medica and who under
stands the compounding of all
kinds of drugs and chemicals is
known as a Pharmacist these
days.
Elegant, pleasant tasting elk
irs have taken the place of the
old time draughts and palatable
capsules have succeeded many
nauseating potions.
The acme of this high drug art
is in every day use at Hunters
Pharmacy, the place near the
post Office.
Mr.. F. V. Hunter. the proprie-
tor of this business, came to Hen
Jacksonville about seven years ago.
His business has been a great
success from the very beginning.
Mr.. Hunter came here from
Montgomery, Ala, where he was
one of the leading druggists of
that city. He has made the drug
business a life study and loves
the work very much, having spent
over twenty years at the pre-
scription desk-being a register
ed Pharmacist in two states.
Hunters Pharmacy is one of
the busiest places in our city and
enjoys a very fine patronage. He
takes a deep interest ineverything
that is for the upbuilding of the
city and county and is prominent
in lodge and church work.
Being agreat believer in adver-
Using, Mr.. Hunter has built up a
splendid trade on his own special
ties which he manufactures at
his own laboratory and when the
summer travel is on his trade de-
mands a large force of clerks to
attend to the business.
Garden and field seeds has made
him a profitable side line.
The soda fount is open the year
round. Hot drinks in winter.
This Pharmacy is the agent for
the celebrated Nunnally's and
Lowney's candies.
The American Druggist Syndi-
cate, an organization of nearly
ten thousand druggists is well
represented by them and quite a
lot of the A. D. S. goods are sold.

erything in Drugs" is well put
in for their stock is very complete.

FOUR LEAyED cLovER--H da c.. Wood
land. Cal. What is the superstition about four
leaved clover.
Among a certain class of people any
strange or unusual formation in plant
or flower is regarded with more or less
superstition The superstitious rever-
enee with which the, four leaved clover
has been regarded, for so long time
that the memory of man reaches not
back is very simple. Its resemblance
to the form of a cross is unquestlon-
ably the cause of Its endowment with
magic~virtues and especially the power
of detecting the presence of evil spirits
and nuIlifying their power to do harm.
Rev. Hilderic Friend in Folk Lore says:
THE person who carries a leaf of the
four leaved clover about with him Will
be successful at play and have the
power of detecting evil spirits. The
lover may put it under his pillow and
he will dream of his beloved, or the
maiden may, by slipping leaf into her
lovers shoe, without his knowledge, as
he is about to set out on journey,
secure his sure and safe return to her.
