NEED MORE FUNDS
FOR DECORATIONS
Only About Half of Amount
Necessary To Christmas
Program Raised

The lighting system for the decora-
ton of the city's shopping district for
the Christmas season was completed
except for a few blocks and turned on
Wednesday night for the first time.
But the job has not been finished.
and more money is being sought to
carry out the program of the spon-
sors, it was stated today by Sam Al
ford, in charge of the undertaking.
Mr.. Afford said about half the nee
essary funds were in hand. Workers.
representing the Lions club, which is
raising the money, are still active in
calling on prospects
The lights were erected on Garnett
street from Spring street. in the south
ern extremity of the retail district,
to Montgomery street. The lighting
system is to be extended two blocks
further north to Church street, at the
underpass. The reason that part of It
was not completed was the shortage
of bulbs and the necessity of replace
ments because of bulbs broken. or
missing. Replacements have been
bought and were to have been erected
today but for the snow. They will he
strung the first opportunity.
Additional money is desired to COM
plete the expenditure program for
Illuminating the shopping district and
also for stringing laurel festocns and
wreaths. 1t is also planned to erect
large Christmas tree to be lighted
in the triangle at the Garrett street

November 1896

Sales during November by Vance
county's lone liquor store showed a
sharp decline under October. but were
some $500 ahead of November last
year, the monthly report revealed to-
day.
November transactions aggregated
S26,A216O, compared with $30484.5O in
Octo err this year, and $24,905.40 in
November, 1886. 1t was the second lar
gest month in 1887, however, being
exceeded only by the comparative pc
riod of October.
A compilation showed total sales for
eleven months of 1887 to be $197 ,612.-
20. compared with $179,21513 in the
first eleven months of last year. The
increase is slightly over $4,000.
In December last year sales of the
liquor store were $31, 1855, and total
sales for 1896 were $211, 100.48. The big
gest month the store ever had was

Receipts of the Henderson post Of

1886, a gain of $2,24985
In December last year the receipts
were 05,9o192 Every month of 1887

December runs true to form, the

FALL FOUR INCHES
TO THE NOON HOUR
Most of Snow Partly Melted
on Streets and Sidewalks
In Town
TEMPERATURES HITS 80
Two-Degrees Drop from 6 a. M; Traf-
fic Impeded; Reports Show
Henderson Has Most
Snow in State
TEMPERATURE HITS 30

A snow measuring four inches fell
in the Henderson area in the early
morning and forenoon today for the
heaviest snow in recent years here
so early in the winter season. Part
of it had melted by early afternoon,
but a mercury that had risen slowly
during a part of the morning appear
ed headed downward in the teeth of
a brisk north wind.
H. l.. Allen, official WeatheH Bu-
reau observer here, said he measured
IL inches of snow at 8 a. M, when
the temperature was at 30 degrees,
two lower than it was three hours
hours earlier at o'clock and two
degrees below freezing. It was GER
tain that half an inch more of snow
fell before it ceased entirely around
the noon hour.
Henderson had the heaviest snow
fall of any point in the State today,
according to reports received here.
Snow flurries were reported further
east, melting as fast as it came down.
There was no snow in the Piedmont
nor at Asheville, where the tempera-
ture was a shade milder even than in
Henderson.
Business was not interrupted here
by the snow, and school buses all got
through, so far as was learned. Traf-
fic dissipated the snow in the streets
and on the sidewalks, but most of 1t
remained on roofs, on lawns and in
fields. The earlier tendency to melt
was halted by the colder weather
that appeared headed in by early
afternoon.
The snow came as a distinct sur
prise. When many people went to bed
Wednesday night the skies were clear.
They were overcast at midnight, but
there was little thought of snow. AT
dawn today the ground everywhere
was covered with the fleecy mantle.
