presses one forcibly with the
very evident fact that Hender-
sonville is growing!
And when you recollect that
this bank has just increased its
capital stock from $4,000 to
$1OO, OO0, in order to keep pace
with the growth of the town,
you are still more forcibly i'm
pressed with the fact that Hen

town.
The interior of the bank build

entirely pleasing. The fixtures
are of marble and solid mahog-

firm also designed the interior
decorations of the bank.
Finished in cream, Nile green

To day you will see how the
many candidates stand in the
Daily Hustler contest. The con-
test being just begun it will be
impossible for you to judge by
the standing today who will
come out ahead at the last. 1t
may be like the cid saying, the
first shall be last and the last
shall be first. Who knows?
But unless you are busy some
part of each day or some friend
is busy for you in getting new
subscriptions and job printing
the road to success is going to be
long and rocky.
There are four prizes in this
contest, all well worth the small
amount of work spent on getting
votes. If you are hard worker
and can believe in yourself the
reward will be sure to come on
the last day of this one month
contest.

Reynolds
Buried

B. L. Reynolds, the man killed
by Southern freight on Saturday,
was buried yesterday in Oakdale
cemetery.
The three men said to have
made a murderous attack on the
unfortunate man at Tryon, Fri
day, have not yet been arrested.
Sheriff Hill of Polk is investi-
eating and over the long dis
tance phone assures this paper
that every effort will be made to
land the guilty men in Jail.
The Sheriff was surprised to
learn that Reynolds had been
buried without any effort to find
on his body, conclusive evidence
that he had been attacked by
three men near Tryon, Friday,
and the full details of the Incl
dent will probably never be
known, unless the body be ex-
humed and another examination
be made.
Reynolds family live in Ashe-
vile, bu' have not yet been
heard from.

The stock in the bank is being
taken by some of the best peo-
pie in town, and large blocks of

The Peoples National already
has every assurance of an ex-

On the very best of authority
it is stated that many other big
enterprises which mean SO much
to this town, and which have
largely been contingent upon the
actual opening of this new and
powerful institution, are now
practically assured.

SUCCESSFUL, TURKEY SUPPER.

The annual turkey supper and bazaar
held yesterday by the Ladies' Indus
trial society of the Congregational
church, in the church parlors, was a
gladstone affair, and the big crowd
that was in attendance eclipsed any
that has been present at any previous
similar event given by the Congre-
gational ladies. Fifteen big turkeys
went to the executioners' block to
furnish the supper and apple and
pumpkin and mince pies, besides a
variety of other deicacies, contributed
to make the supper one of the best
ever served in Hancock. The bazaar
and sale of fancy goods was also well
patronized and the attractive articles
for holiday gifts were eagerly pur-
chased.
The next event of this nature will
be the Dutch" lunch, to be served
by the members of Miss Cameron's
class at the Methodist Episcopal church
on Friday evening in the basement Of
the church.

HUBBELL RINK STORY is
WITH OUT FOUNDATION

During the past couple of days there
has been considerable comment in
Hubbell over the prospect for new
skating rink but after careful inves-
tigation today it was learned that the
report circulated was entirely without
foundation. The season for the erec-
ton of such structure is so far ad-
vanced that il does not seem prob
able that the business men of the town
will undertake such an effort
The people of the town want an ice
rink, and would be more than willing
to support such an enterprise. But to
erect a suitable rink i'm Hubbell would
necessitate the expenditure of thous-
ands of dollars and such an undertake
ing would not be commenced in the
late fall.
