SOME OF THE THINGS AN EDITOR ENJOYS
The Chenoa, Ill, Gazette enumerates
some of the things that it says gives it
special pleasure in its dealings with peo-
pie. 1t says:
1t is pleasing to have man refuse to
take his home paper and borrow it OF
neighbor. We like to have man complain
when asked TO subscribe, that he already
takes more papefs than he can read. We
like to have a man run down his home pa
per, and then have him ask for no pay,
com pIimentary notice. We like 10 have a
business man refuse to advertise in his
home paper and then try to obtain the great
share ct trade which that paper is the
means of bringing to the town. We like
all this. it is economical, thrifty, progress
sive and-cheeky.

CHILDREN's SERyICE.-The first General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States convened in Philadel-
phia in 1889. The Northern and Southern

The first Sunday in June was appointed as
day to be specially observed by the
children of the church in a Missionary
Festival. This service was not held in the
PRESBYTERIAN CAurchr of our town Oh that
day because of unavoidable circumstances
but will be held on next Sunday afternoon

ANOTHER BIG TOBACCO ESTABLISHMENT
IN HENDERSON The Allen s. Ginter CT
gazette Company, of RichGond, who not
long ago built a large tobacco stemming
establishment in Henderson, Will soon
erect another SIMILAR ono here. 1t will
will be 12Ox25O feet, five stories high
same size of the other ene-and next
to it. Work will be commenced at once.
The fact that a second house of this kind
Is to be erected in Henderson speaks we'll
for our market, and is also high compli-
ment to Mr.. John ID. Cooper, manager and
buyer for the concern here. 1t shows
that this market furnishes the stock they
want and the further fact that they have
a man here in whose hands their interests,
even largely increased, are So fe. And these
facts stand out all the more plainly when
we state that strong pressure was brought
to bear upon the Allen & Ginter Company
by representatives of another market to
select their town for the location of this
new establishment. But the gentlemen
knew what they wanted and where to get
it, and although they had one immense
stemmery here they very wisely decided
upon building second one i'll Henderson,
the leading bright leaf market of North
Carolina.

VIM. DAFFRoN, FURNITURE DEALER
The Scotland Neck Democrat makes the
following mention Of Mr.. VIM. Daffron,
the well-known furniture dealer of Rich
| mond and Henderson. Speaking Of his
| Richmond houses the Democrat says:
| An air of usiness strikes you from your
| first enterance into any one OF bis many
stores. There are stores and stores OF fur
niture in the city, at which if you ask fol
the proprietor, they tell you he is at the
main office on Main street. Well, every
thing you want in any line OF furniture
from the smallest to the largest, you may
| find there Mr.. DaffrOn is full OF business
mas no time to waste in Willing away thu
time with any one he meets but he i
prompt in his engagements. When he tell

Don't ROE THE BIRDS NEsTs.-The
practice of robbing birds nests by some Of
the small boys in town and in the country
ought to be stopped. No member OF the
feathered family from the innocent little
wren to the sweet singing mockiag bird is
free from their destroying hands if its nest
can be reached. There is no merit in be-
ing able to show large collection Of birds
eggs, and this appears to be the chief cause
of ro5bing the nests. Boys, stop this prac-
tee. Parents, make them stop it.
A POPULAR SUMNER REsoRT.-The
North Carolina Teachers Assembly
met at Morehead City June 18th. The
State Press Association will meet at the
same place July 18th. There is no more de-
lightful place anywhere than this popular
seaside resort Under the management OF
Messrs. Beerman & Cook, the Atlantic
Hotel, enlarged and improved, is now bet
ter kept than ever before. 1t will have an
imme nse run of patrons this summer. The
house has been we'll nigh full SO fan
already, while July and August will add
hundreds more to its cheerful and chatty
army of guests.

| HARD AT WoRK.-From all parts Of the
county we hear that the farmers are hard
at work, endeavoring, by extraordinary
zeal and energy, to repair to some extent
! the evils OF a BACKWARD season, ilauc Still
worse by the excessive rains and the super
abundance of grass which they find them
selves encountered with on that account.
In some localities the crops have been seri-
ously damaged, but in the main let rs be-
lieve they are strong, healthy and promise
we'll Experience and observation have
fought us that farmers as rule are rather
inclined to take too gloomy view Of things
and despair or have their hopes consider
ably impaired too soon. There is wonder
full amount of "come out" in growing crop:
and as a general thing they will RESPOND
most readily and literally to good treat
ment Our farmers can do great amour
of work in little time and where the lane
has not been entirely drowned out o
, washed too badly the crops will yet com

being so solidly packed and run togehe
