mrs. MILLER WILL KEEP
BABY LEFT WITH HER
Had Numerous Requests for Child
From People Who We're Willing
to Give it Home.

Mrs. w. L. Miller has asked the
Hustler to state for her that she has
decided to keep the bright baby boy
left with her in Williams store here
Saturday a week ago by young wo-
man supposed to be the childs mother.
She has become very much attached
to the youngster and has never en-
tertained any thought Of giving him
up. She intends to keep him and raise
him UP to manhood in her own kind,
been published telling of Mrs. Miller's
strange acquisition of the baby whose
name according to note left with
him. is Alfred Lee Ray, she has been
flooded with inquiries and requests
for the child. One lady in the eastern
part of this State requested that the
child be bundled up and sent to her
in care of the train conductor, while
another lady living in South Carolina,
being more considerate of the child,
stated that if Mrs. Miller was willing
to give the child up she would com"
after him personally.
So it is that the baby has found
home and a good home at that. The
woman supposed to be the child's
mother chose wisely and it is good for
all concerned that Mrs. Miller is to be
the one to raise him up to manhood.
Another chapter OF life full Of hu-
man interest has been written and the
Hustler knows, that whatever may
have been the motive the mother had
for abandoning the child. she left it in
good care, and hopes that if she has
done wrong in the past, this episode in
her life may be the means of her doing
good hereafter.

WORK PROGRESSING
ON BAT CAVE BRIDGE
of Structure Win be Wei.
coined by HendersOnville Mer-
chants-WOOden Construction.

Henderson county will be the first
county to finish a complete good road
into the Bat Cave Chimney Rock sec
ton since the flood when the new
bridge over Rocky Broad river is com
pleted. Joe Holbert with crew OF
men is busily engaged in building
granite abutments and a wooden
bridge which it is said will be covered
with a roof to protect the suspensions
from the weather. The high cost o.
steel is causing the county authorities
to build wooden bridges over Green
river and French Broad river where
ever the flood washed away steel
bridge.
The completion of the Bat Cave
bridge will be welcomed by the local
merchants who are planning to fur
nish the trade of this section for
Christmas.
1t is said that one automobile has
succeeded in reaching Bat Cave from
Asheville over the state highway and
it is known that the Asheville business
men are urging the completion of that
route. Hendersonville was the only
outlet of this country for several
months after the flood. The citizens
of that section have grown accustom-
ed to trading In Hendersonville and
no doubt viii continue to make this
their trading center.

VACANCY IN CITY COUNCIL.

The resignation of R. C. Clarke as a
member of the city council has caused
a vacancy in that body and his sue
cessor will be chosen at an early
date, probably tonight. Another va
cancy will occur soon when Brown
low Jackson will resign in order 10
take his seat in the lower house of the
North Carolina general assembly. A
successor to Mr.. Clarke will have to be
chosen before Mr.. Jackson resigns an
order that the council may have u
quorum at the meetings, the absence
of Mr.. Forrest, a member of the coun-
Gil, in Florida making this necessary.
