lance from Hendersonville, and that
no money will be paid for sand, Major
Barker has generously given all the
sand needed from the creek through
his property and it is expected other
property owners in different parts of
the county will do likewise. In fact,
the committee understands that roads
will be improved only where sand is
furnished free. The money for hard
surfacing the roads will be carefully
and judiciously expended and by next
season there will be many miles If
modern highways in Henderson coun-
Nv awaiting the tourists from the
South.

In reference to the new Federal

ton was adopted:
Whereas 1t has been called to the
attention of the Greater Henderson
rille club by our worthy postmaster,
Jackson, that the construc-
ion of the government postofice
will be commenced within a
Tery short time and that this improve
has been fastened by many
by the vigorous. efficient and
action of our congressman,
Ion. J. M. Gudger, now therefore
&c it
Resolved, That it Is the sence OF the
HendersonviITe. club that such
Elective and active work. upon the
of our public servant should De
made known and appreciated, for
ghicb reason the Greater Henderson,
lille club wishes to express to him for
NO in behalf of it's members and the
:iiy of HendersonvilIe, our most sin
ere thanks.

esolution be sem by the Secretary TO
Or. Gudger.
Meeting Night Changed.
The regular meeting night was
from the second and fourth
thursday to the second and fourth
in each month. This was
lone in order to avoid conflicts with
he meetings of the city council and
he Woodmen of the World and will
probably result in still larger attend
nee at the club meetings.
The suggestion was made to the
committee recently appointed to ar
-ange for 4 Rally meeting that q
Rally Banquet" to be held some time
the holidays would be a good
hing. The suggestion seemed popu-
ar The suggestion, altho everyone
later denied even making it, that the
club change it's name to Board Of
was withdrawn hastily after
the sentiment of the meeting had been
expressed. The organization will
continue to be known as the Greater
3~endersonville club. Any nan even
thinking of changing the name is
to be unpopular in the one best T
town in the South.
