WE MUST WAKE UP.-A writer in the
Norfolk Landmark has the following to
say about that city, and the remarks are
as pertinent and apply with equal force
to Henderson and other sections perhaps
He says:
The first thing to our mind is to work
| in unison, to sink all personal opinions
and predjudices, and after mature retiec-
| ton to endorse any and all advance
| movements with our whole heart and will.
Don stop to see what extent the move
ment is going to benefit the individual,
but the public-even if you see an item
| that may or even does iniure your inteS-
| terests for the time, the general result
will make it all Q. X. Will we forever
| think of only self? Then it is fact, that
we dwell too much on the past: what our
forefathers did or didnot do. The past Is
| only useful as experience to guide us in
| our present and future actions Our
forefathers made mistakes and did not
have the light before them that we have
nOw-hence their view cannot be OIir
guiding star. One fact more apparent
than any other is that wealth and energy
do not go together here. 1t Is toofrequent'
Iy the case that wealth is satisfied with
matters as they are, and has not the am
bition and vim to push enterprise that
once established, would benefit all NOR,
or less Capitalists cannot expect that
the results of their investments shall b'
all their own, nor should they wish it
general prosperity will rebound TO TIL

TOWN AND COUNTRY
LOCAL LAcONIcS PICKED UP HERE AND
THERE BY OUR EAGLE-EYED
REPORTERS.

Mr.. John w. Walker and Mr.. Neal
prominent tobacco buyers from Durham,
were on sales here this week.
The Wilmington Messenger contains the
following paragraph:
The President Informed Congressman
Cheatham that he must pay his campaign
obligations out OF his pocket, that ne
could not have the disposal OF the patron
age of his district to pay Off his election
scores.
For the benefit of those who abhor prin-
ters' ink as prime factor to the advance
ment of their interest, we would state that
SampSOn-the strong party-waS the first
man to advertise. He took two solid col
umns to demonstrate his strength, and sew
eral thousand people "tumbled' to the
ReldsuiLLe Weekly.
Mr. John l.. WingO, OF NJ. I. Smith 4
Co., Richmond, was a visitor to our mar
ket much to the delight OF his many
friends here this week. Mr.. WingO is a
fine fellow, polite, clever and hard
worker, and one of the best statesmen in
Virginia. He always meets with cor
dial reception i'm Henderson.
r. ID. Neal Jr, one of Richmond $
ceverest and most prominent tobacco
commission merchants, was mere UIllS
week. He has host of friends in Hen
drrson and by his hard work and correct
and straightforward business methods
deserves them every one. Mr.. Neal S
father, the late r. ID. Neal, ST., was al
ways a great favOrite with Henderson
tobacco men and was one of the best
men that ever lived.

TO MAKE A MERCANTILE CROP GROW
The Greensboro daily Workman says:
To make merchants crop grow off nice
ly there is no fertilizer equal to printers
ink. This is the opinion of wise men who
have prospered in their business.
No man these days can hope to rise,
Who fails his goods to advertise.
The people read each day to know
Who sells good goods, and who sells low
They keep each notice in their eye,
TO guide them where to buy.
So if you'd rise and never sink,
Invest some dimes in printers ink.

ADVICE Is CHEAP, AND THEN THERE IS A
SELFISH MOTIVE BEHIND SOME PEOPLE,
This is what the old wealthy skin-fints
advise us to do:
Yes, talk up the town; boom it for all
it IS worth: tell the people this is the best
country on the globe; that this is the
coming town: that investments here will
pay better than a gold mine
Such advice is probably all right, but
they never say ''Here's an X, or a V, to
advertise my business" We must do all
| the booming deiray all the many expen.
| SEES necessary to run a newspaper, and
probably those same men who give us sc
much gratis advice, haven tpaid their own
subscriptions
| These same men think they are walking
monuments of the towns prosperity, and
| have the gall to style themselves as rep
resentative men. They may be correct
but deliver us, if you please, from such
representative men. But still the coun
try is over-stocked with supply of this
| kind.
| There is no doubt but what they ar,
anxious to see the town grow, but they
want this growth to come at some ON
else's expense.-Murphy Bulletin.

A number Of plats were ordered from Sc

ridge then wanted s75 to meet some press

Then Breckenridge wanted SIS more, q
part Of which was TO be expended in 0

other purposes, and then he disappeared
from Mr.. Halls sight. Meantime BraCk-
enridge had asked Verion Bros, cigar
dealers, to cash q check for him for $3.50
and they obligingly did so and the check
was honored. He asked them next to
cash q check for $50 on the Merchants
National bank, signed by himself. and
they complied with his request, but pay
ment was refused, as Breckenridge had
no account at that bank. Since that time
breckenridge has disappeared from their
