The electric automobile owned by Mrs. M. A. Austin was. destroyed by fire yesterday evening about :45 O. clock. The car had been placed in the garage, in Beach stree., between Fifth and Sixth avenues. but a short time before. The batteries were not connected with the motor and the only explanation of the origin of the fire is that there was short circuit.

French Broad hustler. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1916-1919, 1918-03-14

Some of these bands have already
been to the mountains in body, and
it is felt that there should be no seri-
Gus difficulty in devising some plan
with the military authorities to thus
give these different organizations
outings of this character, for which
it would be the pleasure of the city of
Hendersonville to defray their ex-
penses while in her midst.
The Detailed Plan Proposed.
More concretely the plan is to set
aside the best possible spacious place
for the open-air dances either in the
street, as was done last summer on
Fourth avenue west Or, to utilize one
of a few large vacant spaces facing
Main street. Because of the central
location the latter plan is perhaps the
most preferable one; and, in this
event the whole available space Sc
lected should be hoored and at one
end there shouldb be erected commo-
dious and architecturally beautiful
band stand
+ Much could and should be done in
addition to render the place selected
one of great beauty. By the use of
a large number of electric lights,
softened by Japanese lanterns, fes-
tooned from formal colonial columns
of spotless white, the generous use of
Our native evergreen easily planted
and grown in tubs) possibly margin
ing the entire space by flower
boxes-the whole feature could be
made. one of novel and distinctive
beauty! And with this as a setting
st requires poor Imagination IN
deed, not to appreciate the fasclna-
ton that would attend the dance amid
such surroundings and to the rythm
of matchless music of a military
band.
The Expense not Prohibitive?
The plan will cost some money to
carry it out, but is it not worth it!
It would surely bring thousands OF
soldiers to Hendersonville for their
Week-ends, and would too attract
large numbers of others besides. The
military" should be the key note in
determining the social life of Hen
dersonville for the coming summer.
Concerts, at Chimney Rock.
AS these bands will be off until
Sunday night. / have in mind trip
to Chimney Rock, where they could
have an opportunity to see perhaps
the finest scenic attraction east OF the
Rocky Mountains. Hendersonvllle
has always been proud that it was the
gateway to Chimney Rock, and|the
possibility .,even, of military concerts
every Sunday from the top of Chin
ney Rock is one that truly indeed,
would add new thrill to the VACATION
life of the Southern Appalachians. A
motive deeper than the above thought
would be the giving to our soldiers
an outing of unique interest and val
ue-ene long to be remembered.
Let us leave nothing undone in a
sincere effort to bring some of these
GOOD things about. They are worth
while from the standpoint of business,
doubly worth the while In
pleasures bestowed.

4. H.PATIERSON
HAS FORMAL
STORE OPENING

II Patterson owner of the finest
and most up-to-date mercantile es-
tabIishment in Hendersonville and
one of the finest IN western Carroll
ma, is holding his formal opening this
week.
The opening on Wednesday was
featured by music and flowers. The
ladies' were presented with carna-
tlons and the men were presented with
note books and other useful souve-
Mrs. A string band composed of S.
j. Pittillo and sons, Foy and Otho, of
Fruitland, and S. Maxwell's player
piano furnished the music.
Although Mr.. Patterson had been
in his new quarters for about a
month, he had not prepared for his
formal opening and attractive dis
play of beautiful spring goods. This
occasion served to make his friends
better acquainted with his modern
new home and with the character of
his goods.
The store was we'll supplied with
accommod dating clerks, considerable
extra help having ben employed for
this occasion, and Mr.. Patterson, just
| ly the proud possessor of the largest
and most up-to-date department store
in town, where. he has been in bust
ness for IL years, was the recipient of
many congratulations from his
friends.
The Hustler recently gave in de-
tail description of the modern fix
lures and the innovations introduced
Fby Mr.. Patterson. This equipment
enables him to display to splendid ad-
vantage his attractive line of spring
merchandise.
Another innovation introduced by
Mr.. Patterson is porter, who was
conspicuous on this occasion for the
first time in a dashing uniform OF
attractive blue. Mr.. Patterson viii
also operate an automobile for the
| delivery of goods.
Mr.. PatterSon'S business has rapid.
" increased in recent years and he
has literally used advertising space il

that it was comparatively the most
economical and effective medium
that could be found for his business
announcements. He is now better
prepared for business than ever be.

DRAFT
OF EIGHT men
LAST OF MONTH

DIR. ]. S. Brown received tele-
gram Thursday morning from Gen.
eraI Crowder of Washington to the
effect that five per cent of the second
draft of Henderson county would be,
entrained between March 29 and
April 2.
DR.. Brown estimates that this will
take eight men from Henderson coun-
ty. Under a previous order it is like
ly that these men will not be drawn
from agricultural ranks.
The first draft from this county has
been completed except for seven ne
5groes, who will be entrained for Camp
Grant, Rockford, Ill, during the pc
riod that the second draft will be
made.

There has Just been formulated one
of the most brilliant and interesting
nIans for entertaining alike the year
fv soiourner to HenderSCnVille and
tho MANY thousands of soldiers at the
nearby camps, that has yet come to
the public's notice. The plan is the
initiation of regular weekend Sat-
urday night street dances, the music,
being supplied through the courtesy
of the different bands of the two
camps.-the members of the bands
being honored guests of the city of
HendersonviIle. The idea surely
bristles with suggestive interest.
Recreation for Soldiers Encouraged.
Every one is now aware that from
Saturday noon to Sunday night a
large number of boys in camp are
free to get away for recreation and
outings. 1t has been the policy of
the government to leave nothing un-
done in an effort to supply for these
defenders of the nations honor,
wholesome pleasures of all sorts.
Already thousands of these men have
come by train and motor to these
beautiful mountains, and the few
flor they are few,-relatively) who
have thus far availed themselves of
this outing in the "Land of the Sky"
are as nothing to those who will
swarm to the mountains during the
summer season. There are, it must
be remembered, some $4,000 of these
men in the two camps!
The Alluring Street Dance.
Hendersonville, last summer dem
onstrated the fascination of the
street dance. 1t was probably the
most distinctive bit of entertaining
that was ever given the visiting guests
in the mountains of North Carolina.
Every one recalls the large number
Of people who motored considerable
distances to these novel innovations
in pleasure giving.
If present plans are carried out,
the charm of the street dance of
1917 will be but feeble reminder of
the brilliant military Saturday night
street dances of 1918. They would
make Hendersonville veritably the
social rendezvous for the men at
Wadsworth and Sewer. Can any
one imagine a plan that would be so
replete with interest? 1t is hardly
necessary to say that thebest of
'Hendersonville hospitality" would
be accorded our weekend guests
our cars, our service, our all will be
theirs.
Military Concerts in Camp Cities.
1t is we'll known that there are lit
orally dozens of military bands in
these two camps. Without hardly an
exception they are made up of train
ed musicians, and not few of thees
are counted among the famous bands
Of the country. Notably in Spartan

of DIR. Booth andcother members of
his family will be rehearsed.
Theodore Booth-Chbborn is a vio-
linist of note and an attraction of
the meetings will be his violin solos
and violin accompaniment for his
brother, Rev. Eric Booth-C -Clibborn,
baritonist. Their duets are very
popular features of the Booth meet
ings.
DIR. Booth will be in the city on
Sunday and will preach in the First
Baptist church at o'clock in the af-
ternoon and at 7:45 at night.
During the week the services>will be
held at the same hour and at the
same place each night.
