Richmond Boosters Here Monday.

The Richmond Boosters arrived in
Henderson on their special train OF
Pullmans Monday morning at 6
O'Clock. Even at that early hour a
number of our leading citizens were
at the depot to meet them and ex-
tend to them the glad hand OF vel
come. The party was composed OF
more than a hundred OF Richmond's
representative business men. They
were a fne lot of fellows. At s
o'clock a number of automobiles
were gathered at the train and the
party was taken for ride over the
principal streets of the city. The
welcome extended to the Boosters
in Henderson was most cordial
one. From the time they arrived
here until they left they were In the
hands Of a special committee OF rep
resentative citizens and business
men, and were shown every possible
attention and consideration. While
here the Richmond band discoursed
a number of popular airs on the
streets, all OF which were highly en-
ioyed and appreciated by ourpeople:
The Boosters had many pie SAINT
things to say about Henderson, ,''.c
their most cordial reception here,
and at least one or two OF the party
remarked in the hearing of some OF
our citizens that if they should ever
decide to leave Richmond they want
ed to locate in Henderson. This Is
not at all surprising as great many
good people are not only desirous at
this time of locating in this hustllng
little city, but many are actually do
ing so. At . o'clock the Boosters
all got back to the train and in a few
minutes they we're off for Raleigh,
but not until they had joined a num-

Magistrate Cleveland Ridout, OF
Bracy, Va, was in Henderson this
week and says that he has in his
custody a strange idiotic man,
which he thinks is the same person
that caused so much excitement near
the Duncan old place, in Warren
county, and in the Flat Rock section
of this county last August. Mr..
Ridout says that the man stays in
the woods, eats corn, pumpkins and
most everything else raw. He some
times goes to homes and begs for
bread. He appears to be wild, but
harmless. 1t is supposed that his
age is about 80 years, but he does
not know his name, where he came
from nor who his people are. In
fact he has every appearance of an
idiot. Mr.. Ridout is anxious to find
his people so that he can turn him
over to them.

Practically all that can be done for

started him with, is the way of de.
veloping him and making the most
out Of him Is to give him the very best
of environment both in the home, the
school and during his recreative
hours. In reference to a boys person

velop good strong personality,
which is character plus an indefine.
able something that makes the boy or
man influential. The great adjuncts to
personality are good strong body a
thorough trained mind and good char
acter, Mr., Alan referred to the fact
that manners and dress are things a
young man should consider in this
connection of being influential,
