itself to the Henderson Tobacco Board

Durham was a very lively little city
yesterday. The weather was delightful.
The Henderson Tobacco Board of Trade
were a fine looking body of men and they
won the admiration of our citizens Gen
tlemen OF our sister town of Henderson,
Come in the evening, or come in the morn
ing,
Come when you're looked for, or come
without warning,
Kindness and welcome you'll find here
before you,
And the oftener you'll come here the more
we'll adore you.

There was large congregation to hear
Rev. Alex Sprunt's sermon on the sub
ject of the sale by retail of spirituous
liquors, at the Presbyterian church
Sunday night. Before commencing his
sermon the speaker said. he had not
chosen this subject for the purpose Of
creating any sensation, that he neither
desired to appear odd nor render himself
conspicuous by it, but it was done from
a deep sense of duty, with the prayer
that he might say something to cause
those interested in the business to con-
slider it more seriously than they have
probably done before. He hoped good
might come out of the preaching of such
sermon at this time, hence this one
had been announced. After reading
appropriate passages from the Scriptures
bearing upon the subject for discussion,
MIR. Sprunt preached very strong SER
mon, producing statistics that were
astonishing to persons who did not
realize the enormity of the liquor
traffic in this country. He made an
earnest appeal to those engaged in the
sale by retail of it, those who rent their
property to be used for the purpose, and
to those who are in the habit of patron
izing such places. He spoke many Sc
we're truths, but did it in manner to
wound or offend no one, though he put
men to thinking. It is to be hoped
that this sermon will be productive of
lasting good in one way and another.
COOper's warehouse had an immense
quantity of new tobacco last Friday and
mers home in fine spirits and pockets full
of money.

community, was held and committees

Much interest seems to be manifested
already in this prospective meeting and
we expect much good from it. The
pastors will make preparation by hold
ing separate services for a week in the
various churches to be followed with
union service from church to church
the week Immediately preceding the
first Sabbath in November. This az
rangement has not yet been perfected,
although it probably will be soon.
Gone for New Goods.
A good fall trade is looked for and those
enterprising young clOthiers and gents
furnishers, Barnes, Stainback, & Co., are
making provision for it. Their trade has
been remarkably good this summer, not
withstanding the usual dull times and
consequent falling off in business of less
progressive men, and their stock has been
so depleted that it will be necessary to buy
largely of new goods to take the place of
those converted into "hard cash."
With this object in view, Messrs. Lewis
Barnes and Louis Stainback left last Mon
day for New York, Philadelphia and Bal
timore to make purchases for the fall and
winter. They are competent judges and
good buyers, and their friends may look
| for them to SurpaSS themselves this season.
| They say they are going to aStOniSh the ma
| tiveS in the amount, quality and price of
the goods they will have in little while.
| Await for their return and Judge for your
| self.
| In the meantime you will find a superior
stock on hand. which is being sold very
! low to make room for new goods. Ed.
Young or Capt. Heavlin will take pleas
ure in giving YOU bargain in any article
| in their line. Call and see them.
