THE. MEN-MILuNERS
OF HENDERSONVILIE.

The men of Hendersonville
trimmed hats for sweet charity
last Friday night, at the Re-
bekah's lodge rooms.
Some of them are still suffer
ing from the effects of their
exertions.
People who have seen the hats
at Mrs. Posey's store are now
under the doctors care. They
may recover.
The men are still in town
under bail.
The town has received a severe
set back. The board of trade
will investigate the whole affair.
The guilty ones will be severe
ly punished.
They may even be obliged to
read the political articles in The
Times.
Ed. Brooks got scared and did
not come to the hall until the
agony was over. He said he
was busy. Yes.
Frank King drew the BOBBY
prize-a Taft Billie Possum with
a pink bow at it's neck. And he
carried it home under his arm
that proud! Ugh! His hat was
a delicate confectiOn-not. 1t
had two wings glued on it and
some white roses and forget-me-
nots (who could?) and brown
and white striped bows and two
streamers. 1t looked like a cy-
clone and a San Francisco dis
aster rolled into a ball and then
dropped Unto a barrel of mo-
lasSes.
Henry Allen took the first
prize-a gold stick pin-and now
he's ashamed to look his friends
in the face. His conscience hurts
him. 1t ought to. His effort
was a poem-a fantasy of a poets
brain-a nightmare. Its founda-
ton was of tuscan straw. 1t had
crushed roses thrown grace
fully around the crown, an Al
satan bow nailed on the back,
and a rhinestone buckle strapped
on in front. Simple elegance
and rare good taste in blending
harmoniously the delicate colors,
were the main characteristics of
Mr.. Aliens superb creation, the
sight of which made one want to
go to a dog fight.
When the men had done their
worst, the ladies put the results
of their labors upon their pretty
heads and wore them during the
grand march, fortunately with
out any serious after effects.
Then the violations of law and
order were auctioned off by Mr..
W. A. Smith-Ed Brooks paid
So. 90 for the worst one-and over
$31 was realized for the jacob
Home at Raleigh. Refreshments
of chocolate, coffee and cake were
served to the hundred people
present, who had enjoyed an ex-
tremely pleasant evening.
Except for the hats.

Mr.. CLAUDE BROWNS
HOUSEHOLD GOODS SOLD

Mr.. Claude Brown will leave
Hendersonville much sooner than
he at first anticipated would be
possible, and expects now to be
i'm: Denver by not later than 10th.
Mr., Brown has already sold
over half of his household furni-
ture in his superb home on Mt.
Hebron Drive, and gentleman
from Augusta, Ga, is now in
town figuring on that magnifi-
cent property itself.
In fact, since the last issue of
this paper containing the news
of Mr.. Browns departure, that
gentleman has disposed of a
large part of his extensive hold
ings here.
The big rink has been leased
as Studebaker carriage reposi-
tory, many out-of-t town inquiries
have been received as to his real
estate, (among the most desirable
in town. and he has already sold
over one-fourth of his big stock
of farm wagons.
In this connection, by the way,
Mr.. Brown says he will reduce
the price on the remaining wa
gons So. so each seven days until
they are all gone. But at the
present rate they wont last more
than another week, as Henderson
county men are quick to snap up
a bargain.
It's the same way with the
few surries 'left-most of them
have gone the past week.
MIR. Brown says he is open to
any proposition on his real estate
either spot cash or long time
Everything he has in this line
is for sale and at prices which
spells OPPORTUNITY" in
great big letters to those who
avail themselves of this chance.
Of course. Mr.. Brown does not
intend to give his prorerty away
he has too much faith in Hender-
sonville's future for that-but
he does intend to sell every foot
of land he owns here. The out
of-town inquiries received by
every mail indicate that mueh
of it will go to strangers unless
quick action is taken by Hender-
sonville people.
Mr.. Brown also states that all
accounts due him not settled by
April first, will be turned over to
his attorneys for collection. This
is the last notice to be given as
he intends to have everything
cleaned up Immediately.
Claude Brown has the reputa-
ton of being lightning trader.
He is extremely anxious to get
to Denver to take charge of his
business there, and is open to
any reasonable proposition made
him. @." :
AS is generally known his real
estate holdings comprise some of
the choicest bits of property here
and he intends to sell every foot
of it.
j Mr.. Brown repeats his sincere
regret that circumstances COM
pei him to leave Hendersonville
: "a town beloved by him and for
which he sees the brightest
future. = s

SONG OF THE MYSTIC.
Rev. Abram ]. Ryan)


1 walk down the Valley Of Silence,
Down the dim, vOlceiess VaIley-alOne.
And L hear not the fall of a fOotstep
Around me, save Gods and my own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
As hOvers where angels have flown!
Long ago I was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win;
Long ago l was weary of noises
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago L was weary of places
Where l met but the Humankind sin.
walked in the world with the worldly;
! cTaVed what the world never gave;
And said; In the world each Ideal
That shines like a star in life's wave,
Is wrecked on the shores Of the Real,
And sleeps like a dream in a grave
And still did I pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False with the
True;
I sought mid the human for heaven,
But caught a mere glimpse of its blue,
And l wept when the clouds of the NOR
tai
Yelled even that glimpse from my view.
And I toiled on, heart-tired of the hui
And 1 moaned mid the mazes of men:
Till 1 knelt. long ago, at an altar,
And 1 heard d voice call me-since then
1 walk down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what I found in the valley?
IT'S my trysting place with the divine,
And I fell at the feet Of the holy,
And above me a voice said: BE mine"
And there rose from the depths of my
An echo: my heart shall be thine"
Do you ask how I live in the valley?
I weep-and L dream-and 1 pray.
But my tears are as sweet as the dew
drops
That fan on the roses in May;
And my prayer, like perfume from CEN
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush Of the Valley Of Silence
I dream all the songs that 1 sing;
And the music floats down the dim val
TIL each finds a word for a wing.
That to hearts, like the dove Of the Del
A message Of peace they may bring.
1 But far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach;
And I have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
[ And 1 have had dreams in the valley
| Too lofty for language to reach.
/ And I have seen thoughts in the valley
/ All, me, how my spirit was stirred!
And they wear holy wells on their faces;
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the valley like vir-
! gins,
/ Too pure for the touch of a word.
/ Do you ask me the place of the valley,
/ Ye hearts that are narrowed by care
/ It lieth afar between mountains.
And God and his angels are there:
] And one is the dark mount of Sorrow,
/ And one the bright mountain of Prayer.
