w. aS."S've '"'"s''s'
This in the opinion of the salesman
agersoft the state association is about
one-half or a little less of, the pure

in North Dakota during that time so
he places the grand. total at approxi-
mately $1.0OO,00O.
1000 HEAD SOLD.
T.. Two thousand head of .pure-bred
cattle were sold during the last twelve
mails going to North Dakota farmers
who. never had pure-bred stock on
their farms. This, according to Mr..
Critchfeld, ,is indicative that q great
pure-bred livestock wave is sweeping
! the state. More pure-blooded live
stock wass sold in North Dakota u
ing the last twelve months than all
pure.bred livestock sales. prior to
1913. combined. .
The general attitude of the farm

DIR. CHANDLER breaches
COMMENCEMENT SERMON

"The Esential Qualities of Charac-
ter" was the theme of DR.. o. K.
Chahdler's sermon to the city high
school graduating class on last Sun
day night.
DR.. Chandler whose home is in
Asheville, made strong and logical
plea for an individual contribution to
life. He illustrated his sermon by
contrasting the characters of David
and Solomon. Jesse is known as the
father of David, while Solomon Is
known as the son of David. He urged
his hearers not to be content with
being merely refectors of character,
depending upon their association with
others for recognition in the world.
Superintendent w. H. Hipps of the
Buncombe schools in his address ou:-
lined several things for the class
graduating from the seventh grale to
do. He said:
"Be a good athelete, eat carefully
and with moderation, join the church
and Sunday school, obey superio"s,
watch habits, finish high school, and
finish college"

FIRST BANK TO ERECT
NEW OFFICE BUILDING
AS TESTIMONIAL TO.
PEOPLES SUPPORT! !.
Buys Adjoining Main St. Frontage
and Will Build One of Finest
Bank Homes in the State

The First Bank and Trust company
has purchased adjoining property on
Main street owned by A. Flicker and
will erect there one of the finest bank
ing structures in the state on the COM
bined frontage totalling 13O so feet
on Main and Fourth avenue.
Even approximate figures on the
cost of the new building are not avail
able now Enough is known, however,
to state positively that the new home
of the First Bank and Trust company
will be the peer of any in North Caro-
lima.
President R. C. Clarke said:
"The new building will be in the
nature of a testimonial OF apprecia
ton. This is the feeling of the banks
directors and stockholders. 1t will be
a testimonial Of appreciation of the
loyal support this bank has received
from the people of this city and coun-
ty. With this idea in mind only .
suitable building could be erected
Mr.. Clarke's ideas of what CON-
prises suitable" building has been
demonstrated here The building oc-
cupied by the Bland Hardware COM
pany and some of the finest and best
built private residences in town aret
instances in point.
The new structure will be modern
Office building, and the announcement
= of the banks intention has created a
stir in business circles here. The
main banking room will be 70 so
feet, fronting on both Main street anG
on Fourth avenue. Facing on Fourth
avenue and Immediately adjoining the
bank will be several stores.
The banking room will be handsome,
it is quite needless to say, and plans
are being prepared to give it a Pc
culiar dignity and atmosphere appro-
pirate to a bank of the Importance
this institution enjoys. Safety de-
post vaults of the most modern de-
scription are to be installed.
This improvement of the Heart of
Hendersonville" when linked with the
new building to be erected on adjoin-
ing Fourth avenue property by Brown
low Jackson, marks a distinct period
in the growth Of the city. It is under
stood there is an agitation for paving
Church street, and it is taken for
granted there will be lowering Of the
Fourth avenue sidewalk grade when
the bank erects it's new building.
There will be a completely paved
hlock. bounded by Fourth, Church,
Fifth Aod Main in the heart OF Hen
dersonVille.
Mr.. Clarke refers to the new build
ing as a testimonial of appreciation"
And this is quite correct, for under
tthe able leadership of PRESIDENT
Clarke, aided by Vice-Presidents H1;-
Hard Station. and R. M. Oates. the
hank has prospered and grown and
has wonderfully increased its useful
ness.to the entire community. It's de-
o.;ts are in excess of $600,GJ0- ana

Ferhaps you remember last Sab
bath? A quiet day, one full OF present
peace and holding promise o: future
joy. 1t was Just such day, as you
know, that Mrs. Sarah Egerton
would have chosen for visit, little
friendly visit, to some fower-strewn
spot where the sun shines and the
Ieatnered choiristers are part of Z.
1cho1r celestial, and where the wise OLD
wind whispers so comfortingIy of so
many things.
Well' then, that is just what hap
pened' when that change which men
call death came to this aged lady, mo-
ther of well-beloved physician, And i:
came softly and, one may we'll believe
without pain. And so great was the
calm on that aged face that one needs
to have been very selfish indeed to
have wished it might have been de-
layed for even the shortest time.
This change came last Saturday
morning, just before nine o'clock Her
visit to that place of abiding peace
called Oakdale was on Sunday. Ii
started from the Baptist church, the
church with the tall steeple pointing
towards the sky, and a home, almost,
to her. Rev. A. l Justice, an old ano
intimate friend, talked very beaut1-
fully indeed about it all and tried to
explain things that really require no
explanation, you know. This was in
the morning, before noon, and how
splendid with flowers the crowded
sacred edifce did look There were
flowers and lowers everywhere.
Other friends OF Mrs. Egerton brought
their testimonials of love until there
SO splendid, and their variety so great
that it became almost impossible to
understand so much Of beauty in one
place.
Then to Oakdale, where she rests
now, beside her husband, DR.. Thomas
R. Egerton. And that was the end,
for little while.
Mrs. Sarah Egerton was 81 years
old when this change in her life came.
For year she had been in failing
health, and the last illness lasted for
ten days. For fourteen years her
home had been with her only surviv-
ign child, DR.. j. L. Egerton. DR..
Thomas R. Egerton died in 1898.
Two girls and one other boy, and to
the very end her living son was but
her boy Jim" to her, died in child
hood while the Rev. Montraville
Egerton died in 1905.
Before her marriage she was Miss
Sarah Logan, a sister to Rev. W. H.
Logan and A. l.. Logan, both de-
ceased, and she was born in Ruther-
ford.
There are many grandchildren sur
viving. Mrs. w. R. Kirk, Mrs. Frs
kline Ehringhause and Mrs. Perry
Quattlebaum, of Conway, S. C. Sur
viving children of the late Montraville
Egerton are Montraville, of Knoxville,
Thomas A. Egerton and William
Egerton.
Great-grandchidren surviving are:
Egerton and Camille En-
ringhause, Martha Quattlebaum, Ann
Elizabeth Egerton.
Among the relatives who were here
Sunday we're Mrs. W. A. Logan and
Mr.. Fitzgerald, Asheville; John Lo-
gan and daughter, Miss Mary, Chin
ney Rock.
It is the custom to tell something
about the character of a beloved wo-
man or an esteemed man who has
gone on that journey thtat ends no
one knows just where. But it may be
omitted in this instance, for there
really is no need for it. as you know.
