MIR. Wetmur Busy.

Mr.. F. S. Wetmur who as the repre-
sentative of the Greater Henderson
vile club is now spending some time
III the Middle West in an effort to in
duce farmers of that section to locate
in Henderson county, is already doing
good work.
Mr.. Wetmur has interested the
band and Industrial department of the
Southern Railway in the proposition
and they request that a half dozen
photographs of farming scenes be sent
them at st. Louis to be used in illus
trated lectures. With the photos, OF
course, he wants the correct data re-
ferring to them. This is advertising
of the best class and, as Mr.. R. c.
Clarke said, will put Henderson coun-
ty in a section where it has never
been BEFORE"
If Mr.. Wetmur fails to induce one
farmer to come back with him it is
believed he is sowing seeds that Will
eventually bring many here.

THE CARoLINA ASSOCIATION.
Interesting Comments From Charity
and Children on Religious Situation
in Henderson County.

This body embraces about 35
churches in the county of Henderson,
and it met on last Thursday at Pleas
ant Hill church e Kanuga Lake
with Rev. A. l. Justice in the chair
and MI. F. d. Brown at the table.
In company with Rev. w. r. Brad
shaw, we rolled over the smooth road
through the rain, and arrived at the
church before the session of Friday
began. Some progress is being made
by b churches in the rural districts.
OF course the town churches are all
doing well because they are comply
ing with the natural and reasonable
condition of having preaching every
Sunday.
We were glad to observe among
these country churches a demand for
a more efficient ministry. Rev. R. N.
Pratt, an accomplished and able min
lister formerly of South Carolina, but
now a resident of Hendersonville, is
supplying a few of these country
churches and showing them the more
excellent a
The average salary paid the pastors
of the association is meagre. The
churches have not yet learned that
giving is the real measure of christian
manhood; but they r beginning to
grasp the point, and in time they will
see the need of paying their pastors
decent salaries, and calling them to
preach oftener than once a month;
then that lovely country will blossom
as the rose.
Pastor K. W. Cawthon is doing a fine
work in Hendersonville. This church
for many years has been one of the
leading churches in Western North
Carolina, and it is maintaining its past
prestige. The second church is under
the pastoral care of Rtv. r. d. Carroll,
a strong and aggressive pastor who is
thoroughly ~consecrated to the Lords
work.
The association joyfully increased
lis appropriation to the Orphanage 25
percent. This was done at the sugges-
ton of Mr.. D. S. Pace a wealthy,
broadminded, ~consecrated 1ayman OF
Hendersonville.
The great question before the associa-
ton was the Fruitland Institute, which
is doing a wonderful work for the boys
and girls of that section. The breth-
rem take great pride in the school, and
it's prospects are bright for solid and
substantial growth.
1t is always a pleasure to m1ngle
with the brethren of the Carolina.
They are as fine as we have in u
great western empire.
