BANK REAL ESTATE AT AUCTION

Hendersonville has witnessed within the
week the sale of the last real" assets OF
the Citizens National Bank. Almost six
wears after that fateful day in November,
1880, when tellers' windows were clamped
down in the faces of hundreds of bank pa
irons here, several parcels of real estate
were sold at auction by Britt Davis, acting
for the comptroller of the currency. Much
noise-much too much noise-includlng
numerous serenades by a sound truck, pre-
coded the sale; large crowd was on hand
at the appointed hour, and bidding was
spirited if not extravagant.
Perhaps none of the property brought
what it was worth, even under still de-
pressed market, and much of it went for
a fraction of its potential worth, not to
mention its original cost or where build
ings were involved, the replacement value.
Many observers have since lamented the
comparatively small prices at which these
realty assets were sold, but there is strong
reason to believe that the policy adopted
by the government of selling the remaining
real estate VI SIOoSO lelIAoAlehA NoAAho ON "SN
ton is sound. While values here and else
where are definitely on the uptrend, thus
indicating that the banks real estate would
have brought higher prices later, bank
creditors ana others had long been con-
WINGED that toe much time was being con-
sumed in turning the assets of such instl-
buttons into cash. Many creditors had,
with cause, even envisioned the wiping out
entirely of assets if the liquidating process
had been continued much longer.
The Citizens banks real estate repre-
scented almost the last of the realty distress
ed property here. Comparatively speak
ing, few properties are still held by the
mortgage companies, but in perhaps ma
jority of these instances the houses have
been reprieed upward or taken off the
market entirely until such time as values
return at least to normal.
Taken in connection with the large in
crease in the number of properties sold this
summer, and the additional fact that loans
for purchases and for new construction are
again being made by governmental and by
private agencies, sale of the Citizens banks
real estate may be regarded as another
straw which, instead of being burdening
factor, will help to lift values throughout
the community.

PRIDE OE ANCESTRY

When it is al said and done,
there is not much sense in any
body's getting all puffed up
about his ancestry. If we go back
far enough every one of us will
find forbears we had rather not
talk about. According to Holy
Writ, all of us descended from a
gardener and his wife who were
kicked out of their job because
they stole their Masters fruit.
If we want to pick out worthy
persons in our ancestral lines and
emulate them that is fine. 1t is al
ways fine to copy any worthy per-
son. We should do more of it.

how the sack Of tobacco dust OF

new idea. He said a customer
couldn't satisfactorily kill the
cabbage cutting worm because of
its inaccessibility. You usually
have to scratch around the stalk
and kill them with fingers. This
customer used a strong nicotine

the substance into the ground
