came a hotel.
1t was built by Lewis Reavis in
1911 for store until 1921, when it was
remodeled for residence, where Mr.
Reavis and his family lived until his
death in 1843.
His widow received the home place
as part of her dover and lived there
until her death. When the estate was
settled it was sold to a man named
William Champion. Afterward it was
occupied by John Jenkins, who lived
there until after the war. Then it
passed into the hands of John Young,
who married Sallie Eaton. Though the
Youngs never lived there, it was while
Mr. Young owned it that it became
known as the Henderson Hotel and
was operated by B. l. Powell, who
later moved across the street to Cen
trail Hotel, afterwards known as Mas
senburg Hotel. Mr.. Young then rent
ed the house to Mr.. Kivell, who also
had hotel, until he left Henderson,
then it was rented to Mat Hawkins
for a short time. Later, when Mr.
Beck bought it from the Young estate,
it became his residence until he NOV
ed to Beckencroft. After the World
War Mr.. Dorsey bought the house
from Mr.. Beck. 1t is said that. Mr.
Dorsey fought the place as a matter
of sentiment, having occupied a room
and dressed there for his wedding.
When Mr.. John Young owned the
place he gave Young street. When
Mr.. Reavis lived at this place the yard
and grounds extended from what is
now Montgomery street to George. A.
Roses residence and back as far as
Moss Hill. There were lovely box
bushes, some big gates, an "office"
one one side of the house and slave
quarters to the rear. The water was
brought from a spring on the place
back of what is now B. H. Perry's
residence.
Mrs. Reavis gave the lot where the
Gulf station now stands for the Epis
cOpal church Mrs. Eaton gave the
church and the lumber was cut off
the Eaton and Reavis land and the
church was put up by slave labor. In
the little vestry room back of the
church Miss Frances Arendell taught
tho first school in Henderson. and
the late Mrs Robards and Mrs. Ker-
ner were among the pupils. Mrs.
Kittle and Mrs. Reavis have the bell

Liked Personality.
What I gather is that numerous
voters who question the desiraieility
of various Rooseveltian suggestions
nevertheless like Roosevelt personally
as we'll as ever they did.
This sentiment seems to me to have
been summoned up very succinctly by
the late Senator James Couzens of
Michigan shortly before his death.
"Some details of Roosevelt's adj
ministration have been bad, the
Wolverine statesman told me, in one
of the last interviews he gave out,
"but his essential sympathies are just
right He's the first President, in my
time, who has been with the common
man."
Consequently Couzens, though c..
0. p. adherent, was preparing, when
he died to run for reelection as a
pro-Roosevelt Republican.

ROUTE ONE BEING
SURFACED RAPIDLY
Traffic Is Detoured at Times
for Short Distances in
County

Crews CT the State Highway and
Public Works Commission are active
on the national highway, Route
between Henderson and Kittrell. in
making repairs to the road. The work
has been in progress at various points
along the line to Raleigh for several
weeks. but only in the past few davs
have the workmen been operating in
the vicinity of Henderson.
Short detours for a day or so at
the time have been set up in order to
divert traffic while the work was in
progress.
Tar in tank cars is being shipped
in and parked on a siding of the Sea-
board Air Line railroad near the site
of the old ice plant, just west of the
coal chute, and there is pumped out
and into a boiler for heating purposes
before being removed to the highway
to be spread over the surface.
On the highway southwark from
the city a mixture of fine gravel has
been applied along with the tax ap-
plications, giving an entirely new sur
.ace.
The road, which was built some ten
or twelve years ago, was developing
cracks here and there and now and
then small portions of the surface had
been Clipped off under the weight
of heavy vehicles. Route 1 is perhaps
the most heavily travelled north-south
highway in the country of its length
as main artery for motoring, and
while it was an unusually fine piece
of road building at the time it was
constructed, it is now showing de-
cided wear.
Work now being done is part of
that provided for under State appro-
priations for the current biennium.
Information here is that extensive
repairs will be made to the highway

He said he has not definitely made up
his mind yet about what recommends

Frank Dunlap, of the commission, will
likely inspect the Virginia prison this
week, he added.
The Virginia penitentiary has gone
in for industries on far larger scale
than lgither the Tennessee or the
Federal prisons, Mr.. Johnson said, but
the Atlanta bastile houses a cotton
mill which alone employs 900 men
and the Tennessee plant plans to go
