the newly overhauled Park Hotel at

Last Monday, as we'll as the day
before and day after, was one OF the
most sweltering days that has been
experienced in this community in Il
long time. And yet we wonder how
many of the older people will recall
that just 2G years previous to that
date, to the day, freezing weather
prevailed all over this section. On
the 22nd day of May, 1885, folks
were either huddled up by blazing
fires or going about in overcoats
and wraps.
AS soon as the necessary building
materials can be secured and placed
on the grounds the Carolina Bagging

was destroyed by fire a little more
, than two weeks ago. The new struct-
ure will be much larger and more
substantial than the old one and as
near tire-prOOf as it will be possible
to make it, Thus it is that in grow,
ing cities like Henderson greater and
better things ever rise out of the
ashes of the past.
