Well, did you do it early?
Start the New Year right by joining
the Greater Hendersonville club.
Aren't you glad you attended the
corn show and received the benefit of
the practical knowledge impaired?
Don't you have some exhibit that
would be very appropriate for the farm
exhibit room? Give it to Mr.. Perkins.
It is a sad state of affairs, but there
are those who feel that they cannot
appropriately celebrate the birth of
Christ unless they. are tanked up on
liquor.
Among our exchanges we note that
many of our weekly behind-the-times
contemporaries are urging their sub
scribers to pay up their subscription
dues and begin the new year right. In
one sense of the word they have our
sympathy: in another sense they de-
serve never to be paid. Why extend
credit for two or three years on some
thing that costs only 81 and $1.50. If
the papers are any good and worth
the price. the people will pay for them
in advance, otherwise odds are
against the publishers.
The Democrat would be greatly
pleased if every lodge or secret society
in the city would appoint represen-
tstive to furnish this paper with news
of public nature taking place within
these organizations. We believe that
they would be benefited by it, but it is
not within our province to get at the
seat of things when they are wrapped
In secret proceedings. Let us have
your news of a business nature. Why
not appoint publicity man and hold
him responsible for this work? The
same applies to the churches also.
Feeling is growing stronger from
day to day for the application of the
eliminator to the business man who
will not help in community develop
rent by joining one of the popular
classes of the Greater Hendersonville
Club. If sentiment continues to ripen
In this direction the club will soon be
able to create spirit that will work
havoc with a mans business. Better
cough up the price of membership
and stay on the safe side. You owe
your community this much.
The Democrat is this week carrying
the annual statement with reference
to the expenditures of the county. 1t
g unfortunate for many reasons that
these statements come annually in
stead of monthly If published mon
THY it would not demoralize a print
chop to get it out; it would be read
word for word by the public and the
latter would be kept in a position to
apply criticism if needed in case OF
expenditures while things are fresh
ON the minds of the people. Last week
the Asheville papers carried seven
pages Of these figures. Wonder how
may tax payers read them?
The State papers recently had q
good deal to say of the long and eff.
Gent service of John Laws, who re
Gently died at the age of "a years af
ter having served as registrar of deeds
Cor Orange county for "a years. While
that is very good it does not beat tn,
NJ cord of Judge G. M. Pace very much
He has been clerk of the court for 4:
years and is only SO years old, and tn,
good part of it he has just begun, de
elaring that he is getting younge
every day. Last spring Judge Pac,
thought he had finished his earthl,
career, but fortunately he was spare,
and now feels in good shape for man,
more years of excellent service.

splendid idea when he renuestad tb
