SIXTH AVENUE REPAIRED.
Good Grade Established and Side
walks Made@Street Widened.

With the exception Of a hard sur
face. Sixth avenue is now one Of the
best streets in Hendersonville, the
city street force having completed the
grade from Justus street to the city
limits within the last few days.
The street has been graded and
widened to a width of forty-two feet
from Justus street to the ely limir,
where the work conforms with that
done on the Shaw's Creek road by the
county road force.
The regarding of the street will
necessarily cause it to be extremely
muddy during the winter and in or
der to prevent this some of the resi-
dents of the section are agitating the
question Of s~urfacing with sand. 1t
is understood that about two years
ago a subscription was raised for the
purpose of sanding this street in or
der that the highway might be in bet
ter condition for travel and especially
for funeral professions. 1t is likely
ttat another subscription list will he
circulated at an early date

JUsTUs' MEDICINES ROBBED.
Thieves Prefer RexaH Remedies to
all Other Medicines Shipped.

The small robberies of various
freight shipments of Rexall remedies
received by the Justus pharmacy dur
ing the past few months seem to be
On the increase. DIR. Justus stated to
q reporter that of all the many kind
Of medicines he receives in almost
daily shipments the Rexall prepara-
tons seem to the choice of the car
breakers.
Recently the Justus Pharmacy re-
ceived a broken case of Rexall hair
tonic with five bottles missing. OF
course the railroad company makes
the shortage good and detectives are
now keeping a close watch for the
thieves who. as DR.. Justus expressed
it, know a good medicine when they
see it.

IMPROVEMENTS ON 1sT AVENUE.
Street VIII be Graded, Shade Trees
Removed and Sidewalks Built.

The city street force is now improv-
ing First avenue from Washington
street to Vernon Murray's property
and will widen the thoroughfare to a
width of fifty feet. In order to obtain
the proper width it will be necessary
to take about three feet off the pro-
perty on the south side of the street
and probably a little from the north
side along the Freeman-Hesterly
property.
The avenue will be made several
reaches Mr.. Murray's property, where
the work will cease for the present as
his house will have to be moved be-
fore permanent work a be accom-
plished. MIR. Murray has brought suit
against the Hendersonville Traction
company for damages to the amount
of 800 because Of the street a COM
pany's elevating the street in front of
his house in order to establish a de
sired grade. The litigation will be
settled before the city takes any &C
ton.
The property owners are anxious
for the improvement and it is under
stood will gladly contribute their
property in order that permanent
work may be done.
A number of large trees will have
to be removed before the work can be
completed.
From Main street to Washington
street little work will be done at
present, it is believed. 1t will not be
difficult to lay out a ffty-foot street
here except along beside the lumber
plant of J. r. Wilson, where the pres
ent building is said to be projecting
into the street. a few feet.
