Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-12-03

Well, see where we are going to do
lot of tree planting, that a fine idea
and will add great deal to the city's
looks. The Willow Oak that they have
decided on il fine tree and I don't
think they could have made better
choice. There are two or three of
these trees in Henderson and they are
grand trees. one of them is hundreds
of years old. one other that 1 have in
mind is quite a large tree but 1 can
remember when it was about as big
as a base ball bat.
While we are thinking of planting
new trees, why not try and take care
of those we now have On the Bap-
fist Church lawn there is a beautiful
old oak, the foliage for the last two
or three weeks has been a wonder
full golden brown and looks so pretty.
But isn't it a pity that this grand old
tree is not going to be here much Ion
ger. it has a bad place on it's side that
is surely If slowly eating its way into
the heart of this grand old oak and
unless something is done pretty soon
the tree is bound to die. If the large
Baraca Class of that church would
each give ar extra dime or so for a
few Sundays they could have a tree
surgeon work on this tree and maybe
save t. =
Was in Parkers Drug Store the 9TH
err day, this is the oldest drug bust
ness in Henderson, l can remember
when the late Mr.. w. w. Parker first
started in the drug business here, ]
think it was in the old O'Neil build
ing that was burned several years
ago, it was then quite a small bust
ness, today this store is one of the
best equipped stores in the State,
completely up to date in every respect.
This is Rexan store, famous for it's
line of Rexall remedies which are sold
in thousands of stores all, over the
country, they are the originators of
the world known 1c sales, that they
put lon twice each year. They not on
ly carry the Rexall line of goods but
have everything that is carried by an
up-to-date drug store. Besides have
one of the latest soda fountains, they
also have their own ice cream ma
chine which enables them to carry a
fresh supply of the best creams at
all times. The latest addition to this
store is there luncheon department,
from this department comes your nice
hot lunches, and believe me they are
good and the price so reasonable.
Saw Anna Wyche on the street the
other day, Good old Anna, what a joy
and a blessing she has been to hun
dreds of homes IN this vicinity won
der how many babies Anna has help
ed into this world, don't reckon Anna
hardly knows herself. Goodness me,
how terribly glad have been to sec
Anna some five or six times, what
load fell from my shoulders when
Anna walked into the house with her
little black bag. 50 capable and ready
to take charge. tYou just get out of
here now Honey, Nam is here and
everything is going to be alright, just
have me plenty of hot billing water"
with sigh of relief l want to stok-
ing the kitchen fire, the first time, [
got it SO hot I almost set the house ON
fire Anna used to stay three or four
weeks, and what joy she was, she
took complete charge of the baby,
cooked for the madam, washed, made
clothes, ETC., nobody had to wait on
Anna, she waited on everybody else.
When Annals time was up, what
feeling of helplessness came over us
the first night she left us alone, what
in the world were we going to do,
suppose the baby got sick or we failed
to wake up when it was time to Fix
its bottle, we couldn't have been more
nervous If we had had elephant in
the house to look after, we finally
decided to split the night into two
watches. So that one of us would be
wake all the time, everything passed
off quietly and the sun rose as usual
next morning, much to my surprise.
1t would be a nice thing if all OF
Annals babies would remember her
this Christmas. 81
Who remembers when there was
tobacco wherehouse where Stevenson
Theatre now stands? 1t hasn't been
so very many years ago when the
back part Of this warehouse was torn
down, Arthur Smerdon once had his
machine shop in that part of it. /
think it was in there that he lost hrs
arm. Now one Of the best and most
up-to-date picture shows in the State
stands on that site, have been in a
lot of houses in different towns over
the State but have yet to go in one,
that to my mind, is better than. the
Stevenson. It's equipment is of the
very latest and best, cool in the sum-
mcr, nice<and warm in the winter, for
sound effects haven't found one that
can touch the Stevenson, the people
Of Henderson should be very proud
