OCR SOLDER BOYs.-Capt. z. L. Dain-
gerfeld, the popular and highly esteemed
commander Of the Vance Guards, returned
home Tuesday night, business matters de
mandins his presence here. lie tells US
the boys are we'll pleased with the encamp-
nIcnt, and what is still more gratifying in

LET THERE BE MORE SUNSHINE AND
GLADNEsS-The Bellef0ntaine Examiner
is correct when it says if people would
speak more kindness and repress less there
would be more gladneSS in this world.
Every heart has kindness in it; but every
heart does not speak. It seems natural to
unearth all that is unknd and to repreSS
all that is noble and kind. The real good
ness of heart goes to the grave. All that
could make sunshine for ourself and
friends too often goes to ashes with our
bones Verify, the human heart does not
speak half the kindness that God has given
il, and until it has in His eyes we are IN
godly and have not fulfilled our p Omise.
Give loose rein to the heart when its
promptingS are pune and noble, and only
check it when its prompting are ignoble
and void of goodness.
The STEEN ROUCLERE TRoUPE.-The
Durham TO50cc0 Plant, one of the most
honest papers in the State, as it is one Of
the handSomest and best edited, paws this
high compliment to the Stecn- ROuclere
Company to appear at Burwel Hall next
Monday and Tuesday evening":
The 1otncc0 Punt is cautious about puff
ing snide trouprS. 1t doesn't do it for
nia>hes or money. But. the Stecn-R0ll-
ccrv troupe, is really meritorious. Super
+ etiti0uo people can get full up on myS-
! terry, by witnessing these exhibitions. These
Performers can make tie old fashion reg
ulati0n ghost turn green with envy, and 90
off behind the house and kick himself.
! This troupe has with it the most wonderful
woman on earth-Mrs. Stten. The great
magician Hermann offered her s., 900 to
show him one OF her tricks, but she de-
clined,
The people Of Henderson will see her
/ Monday night and judge for themselves.

4 GENIAL GENTLENAN.-The Coz
