Miss Katherine Janet Fuller
aged ten months, who was so
christened yesterday by DR.. r. B.
Grinnan at the Presbyterian
church, was born In Ohio. How
ever. having heard so much about
Hendersonvi1le, she insisted upon
being at least christened here, and
expressed her desire In such I'M
mistakable terms to her parents
that they were really obliged to
grant her request.
And SO, on almost the same spot
where DR.. Grinnan married the
prettiest baby's parents about
two years ago-and how time does
fy-Miss Janet was properly
started out, you might say, on
life's journey, by being chris
tened in the prettiest town on

ing a month in town. They will

was on his way to court TO testify
against them. He knew his life
was in danger so took the child
along for protection but for once
the code was not respected.

furthermore says that Congress
men Webb and Grant are the only
ones in the State making such
POLITICAL boasts.
Mr.. Grant is greatly emphasiz-
ing his unique campaign Slogans
An Obscure Birth, Poverty
and Hard Work. Flowing a
Bull, = Eating Corn Bread" etc.
In the course of his speeches of
nearly two hours duration, which
he sprinkles well with sarcasm,
Mr.. Grant devotes fully half of
the time to this newly adopted
platform, so new and unbecoming
In political campaigns. In his
speech recently made at West
Asheville, he took occasion to re-
peatedly refer to The French
Broad Hustler, which has done
incalcuable service for his home
town, as ssThe Great Southern
Weekly-the French Broad Hust-
Ter that was never known to tell
the truth and it is presumed that
he makes the same applications In
the course Of all his speeches.

The fact that 100000 prisoners are discharged from the jails and prisons of the country annually, and that from 10 to 15 per cent. of them have tuber- culosis. makes the problem of provid- ing special places for their treatment while they are confined a serious one. So important Is the problem that the Prison association of New York in CO., operation with the State Charities Aid association.
