What think you of the question OF
farm settlers?
The untimely Pickering of the lights
of Midway has undoubtedly lmpressSI
few of the business men OF HenueF-

The report in our news Columns
showing the increase in the local use
of the telephone is another proof that
Hendersonville and environs are rap

The newIy-born Juvenile Protective
association has remarkable posslplu-
ties before it and its work needs to Dc
encouraged by the bigger brothers.
Often a kind and helping hand to
wavvard youth will be the means OF
permanently directing his footsteps
into better paths.

who seeing it was a financial failure
and a burden upon g few, gave help

Brevard are working for another chan

progressive spirit.
Mr.. Leon ST. John talks on an i'm
portant subject and advances a good
idea about county fair at the Midway.
1t appears to us that Henderson coun-
ty has done without a county fair about
as long as a section with the least pre-
tense at progress. could afford. An
agricultural and live stock fair is
most important institution for a county

Henry Ford will soon be coupled to
enlarge his facilities for turning OUT
machines, although the present capac-
ity Of the Detroit plant is 80 per hour.
Mr.. Ford recently gave out an inter

country and the prediction is freely

help the merchant, the banker and
business generally. Let every body
smile and be happy.
