Farewell, MI. .Hogship, your days IN
HendersonVille are numbered.
Watch Hendersonville clean up and
blossom like a rose.
y = = y
Stop your political clamor and talk
practical things.
Has the health officer paid your back
lot an official visit?
Clean up before you are made tc
do It,
More practical common sense and
less petty politics would work wonders
In Henderson county.
Is your name written there-among
the Community Builders; if not, why
not?
We imagine ourselves hearing the
rumblings of a garbage wagon, for
increased health work spells some
thing like this.
1t is your duty, Mr.. Citizen, to help
make Hendersonville n Of the
healthiest places on the map. 1t can
be done by a little work.
The trio of Johnnie Commissioners
slapped progressive farming in the
face so~hard we"are afraid that its
hack was wrenched.
s&& :
Through the remainder OF his years.
Farm Demonstrators Perkins should Be
consoled blythe fact that he has done
q. work that will benefit Henderson
county much more tha at present can
be estimated.
The Democrat last week promised
TO give some facts about the import
ance Of city parks, using st. Peters,
burg, Fla, as an example, in connec-
ton with the proposed purchase of the
large vacant lot on Main street for a
park and City hall. By reason of the
volume Of other editorial matter this
week, we will postpone the Park and
City hall discussion until next week.
The townspeople as we'll as those
from the country will appreciate the
action of the city commissioners>in in
stslling sanitary drinking fountains.
They have been needed a long time
If the city has sufficient water there
would be nothing. amiss in having
drinking troughs for animals in vari-
Gus parts of Hendersonville. Some
times the people experience considers
bic difficulty in getting water for
themselves and their teams, for some
of them are a little timid in going into
Glaces of business and asking for wa
ter.
The Hendersonville Motorcycle club
worked wonders in it's infancy, having
been organized only n night before
it gave the city a thrill on the follow
ing day. While there would likely be
some slight objections to overcome, it
would be an attractive feature for
HendersonVille if arrangements could
be made to have races occasionally
dl ring the summer under the auspices
OF the local club. For a speedway
Fifth. avenue is a great asset and the
urestion remains as to whether the
majority Of the people would approve
of an occasional thrill.

"sIt's a long, long way to Tipperary.'
And it may seem a long, long time to
November 1916. But we'll get there
all the same, says our contemporary,
the, Times. It's going to be a hard,
rough and long, long way all right and
no doubt you would make better time
marching to the martial air of the al
lied armies than you would to the re-
cord of Henderson county's republi-
can commissioners, which would make
1t quite needless to sob with prema-
ture grief ove the likelihood of being
able to say: Goodbye, my Piccadil-
ly."
Again we are moved to emphasize
the Importance of the republicans,
democrats or Independents having
Fendersonville represented on the
hoard of county commissioners Had
