Here is a little good advice for boys
which we take from the Murphy Bulletin
1t says:
Boys, when you see an old person stand
ing, get up and offer him your chair. This
mark of pOliteneSS will commend you more
than any thing else. Respect gray hairs
and your path through life Will not be
filled with regrets.
Leap year is fast drawing to close and
the condition of our bachelor friend Of the
Sanford Express, Brother St Clair, remains
unchanged. He is becoming dispOndent
over the situation and in this fashion gent
ly reminds the fair sex Of the fact that he
is ''stilll on the carpet" Hear him
Have the young maids, and the old ones
too, forgotten which year this is .
II Just makes us laugh all over ourselves
to think what a city Henderson Will be a
few years hence if it keeps going at the
present rate. Let's all put our shoulders
to the wheel and not relax until it is a
busy, busting, prosperous city Of 10000
inhabitants, with manufacturing establish
ments of all kinds to turn out at home
many of the 2rticleS we now have to 90
abroad for.
With cold weather and long Winter even
ings at hand, it is a good time to think
how to make the freside attractive during
the coming months. In every home where
any pretensiOnS to refinement and culture
are made choice reading matter is not ever
looked, and the family that could not Sc
lect something desirable from the varied
and extensive stock of Edwin Stephens
would indeed be hard to please.

tate for some body. A tract of land of 10
acres, only short distance from the cor

very reasonable. Aside from its close proX-
unity to town and the natural value of the
/
make this very desirable property. If you
want bargain and mean business, call on
the editor who Will give particulars.
