YOU at the Tabernacle, Tuesday
night.
Wednesday morning committee
waited on Mr.. Pearson and presented
him with purse of $1,000. Later
$500 more was handed to him just be-
fore he left. This contribution was
made in the way of special thank Of
fering. 1t was the spontaneous gift of
the people, and came in sums ranging
from 800 down. One gentleman
headed the list with that amount.
Then came $50, then $25 and so on
down until the committee had the
proud satisfaction of handing the great
Evangelist an even 81 900 to help him
on his mission of doing good in the
world and to enable him to visit the
Holy Land with his dear gaod wife
next Spring. In addition to this the
ladies made up a purse of slOO which
was presented to Mrs. Pearson accom-
panied with suitable resolutions express
sive of their appreciation and thanks
for the special work she did among
them in giving Bible readings, &c.
The sum of 1910 was subscribed for
the benefit of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, and all expenses of
fitting up the Tabernacle" amounting
to between $3.50 and $500 were paid.
In all about 80, 200 were raised for one
object or another as the result of the
Pearson meetings. Well done for Hen
derson. We are proud of our town and
its good people. They have done no.
bly,, and we are sure every man, wo-
man and child who contributed his
or her part, be it much or little, feels
better for having done SO.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson left on the
afternoon train via Raleigh for Louis
vile, Kentucky, where he engages
upon his next work. From there he
will 60 to Huntsville, Alabama, and
then to various other points until next
March when they will start on their trip
to visit and spend some time in the Holy
Land. The prayers of all Gods people
in Henderson go with them. Heaven
bless Rev. r. G. Pearson and his
good wife. We thank God that He put
it into the heart Of the great Evangelist
to come and labor amongst us.
The town has been benefited in
many ways. We believe there will be
less of factional feeling in the future.
AS a community, we have been brought
together as never before. The ''ecclesi-
astical starch" as Mr.. Pearson express
SEES it, has been taken out of some of us
and our hearts have been put in better
accord. Our views have been broad
ened and we have been made more
charitable one toward another. We
have been given a clearer understand
ing Of life and taught to choose that
which is good. We have learned to be
more liberal with our means and more
just to our fellow man. Our faith has
been renewed and our courage strength
ened and we go forward to fight the bat
tie of life better men and better women.
At any rate let us hope as much. This
is the lesson the Evangelist would i'm
press upon us, and it is our fault and
not his if we do not live up to it. May
God give us grace as people to do so
and may this meeting prove lasting
blessing to us all.

Accidentally Shot Himself.


rich went to Greenville county, Va,
on a visit, anticipating pleasant time
cunning while over there. Tuesday of
last week he accidentally shot himself,
and the remarkable thing about it is
that he was notinstantly killed. While
standing Oh the steps holding his gun
i'll al upright position it slipped, and
the hammer striking against something
caused it to explode. The load passed
through the left hand near the fingers
tearing one completely away and lac
Grating another badly. One or two
fingers ON the right hand were hurt also
but not SO seriously. Some Of the shot
struck his chin, mouth and nose, max
ing an ugly wound. Had Mr.. Goodrich
not thrown his head back at the time
the entire load would have struck him
in the face and head. His escape from
fearful and instantaneous death is
miraculous. He came home Monday
and has been suffering much from his
wounds.
All our goods are sent to us to be sold at
once and so all we want is an offer and the
goods are yours. just try US and then you

The Weldon Fair.
We attended the Weldon fair Thurs
day of last week. Gov. Fowle was
present and made a speech. Miss
Helen was with him. The fair was a
success. The exhibits in some depart
ments were very creditable and in all
fairly good. The attendance Thursday
was estimated at from five to six thous-
and. The racing was an enjoyable
feature. Mr.. F. II. Taylor's Link was
the winning trotter, with Mr.. w. w.
Reavis' Tilden second best. Both
horses are owned by Vance county
men. There was no entry against Mr..
Reavis' fine trotter Henry Ward Beech
er, but for the qualification of his friends
he had him brought out in the after
noon and gave an exhibition race
against time. There was but one
thing to detract from the entire success
of the fair and its full enjoyment to the
large number of people present, and
that was the gamblers who were al
lowed to ply their nefarious and dis
reputable business inside the enclosure.
In another place we have something to
say on this subject.
The officers of the fair were as cOur-
teous and clever and attentive to theil
duties as could be. Maj. 7. L. Emry,
the energetic and indefatigable Presi-
dent, was the ruling spirit in everything
! while our polished, courtly and accom-
, plished brother of the Roanoke Neacs
Mai. w. w. Hall, the industrious an(
capable Secretary of the Association
was everywhere his services were
needed and then had time to look after
: the comfort and pleasure of his friend:
and pay his respects to the ladies OF
y the ground. Two better officials coult
+. not be found. They are pre-eminentl,
the right men in tie right place, and t.

A Good Circus Coming.

The Address New Colossal Shows,
Circus, Museum and Menagerie, is
billed to appear in Henderson Friday,
November Is. This same show ex-
hibited in Charlotte last Monday and
the Ecening Neps commenting on the
performance has the following to say
Address circus is a very good one, and
has more of moral tone about it than
the general run of such affairs. 1t has a
small but select menagerie, one well worth
seeing, by the way, and it's chief merit is
in the excellence of it's trained animal
show. The horseback riding and trapeze
performances are up to the average. 1t
is altogether very good circus for the
money charged.

Marriage Tuesday.


Henderson had not enjoyed the spec
tacle of marriage in some time until
last Tuesday, and so when it was an
nounced that the rites Of matrimony
were to be solemnized between Miss
Mamie l.. Hatchett and Mr.. Albert
Fairbrother, of Lincoln, Nebraska, at
the Church Of Holy Innocents, many
people were attracted there to witness
the ceremony. AT 1890 the bridal
party arrived in carriages from the
home of the expectant bride in another
part of town.
The prospective groom accompanied
by Mr. A. r. Angela his best man,
preceded by Rev. Julian E. Ingle, the
rector. entered church from the vestry
room and took up their positions in
front of the altar. The following named
walters then came in: Mr.. Roger Pat
terson and Miss Lucy Manning, Capt.
C. ]. Voorhees, and Miss Daisy Ste
phens, DIR. J. f. Wyche, Of Oxford,
and Miss Tucker Massenburg, Mr.. A.
Hatchett and Miss Edna O'Neil, Mr..
w. T. Estes and Miss Mary Davis, Mr..
Julian Ingle, Jr., and Miss Lila Tucker.
They stood on the raised platform on
either side and in front of the minister
and when they had taken their places
fourteen pretty little girls ranging in
age from five to eight years, all dressed
in white and each bearing a basket of
beautiful flowers. walked down the
aisle and stood seven On a side next to
the walters. Then came the bride
elect escorted by Miss Lula Henderson,
first bridesmaid. When they reached
the altar the groom advanced few
steps and taking his blushing bride by
the hand they took their position in
front of the rector who after the man.
,, ner of the beautiful and solemn mar
riage ceremony of the Episcopal church,
pronounced them husband and wife at
twenty-five minutes to l O'Clock.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fairbrother left imme.
diately ON the Northern bound train fol
their future home in the distant North
west. Mr.. Fairbrother is managing
editor and part owner of the Daily Call
of Lincoln. Nebraska. Our readers
know the bride. AS editor of the
Southern Woman and later the Orphans
Friend, she made her influence felt il
, North Carolina journalism and estab
lished her reputation as graceful ant
facile writer. No wishes for the future
happiness of the welded pair are more
sincere than ours.

Sued For R-Lsrge Snu.

This afternoon Frank N. Warren
and F. NJ. Warren instituted a suit in
Judge Shattuck's court against Louis
Solomon to recover S15,70443.
The Warrens allsge that on the 31st
OF December, 1888, plaintiff and de-
fendant had an accounting to deter
mine the mutual claims and demands
existing between them, when it was
found that the defendant was in ar
rears to the plaintiffs in the sum oil
$50.672 20, which he agreed to pay.
At that time the Warrens held Q
consignment Of 995 cases of two
pound salmon and 6,7l8 one pound
cases to be sold for Solomon on a GER
tain commission, and the proceeds oi
the sale to be credited to the arrear-
age. Sufficient salmon was disposed
of to reduce Solomon's indebtedness
to the Warrens to S14,948.20.
For q separate oause Of action the
Warrens claim S75623, which they
allege they paid to Ladd & Tilton al
3olomon's request.-Portldnd Tele-

How Men Die.

II we know all the methods Of ap.
prosch adopted by an enemy We are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
Of the body suffices to enable it to op'
pose the tendency toward death
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
OF no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of q Cough
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Luugs, give that old and wellknown
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, q
