Never in the history of Henderson have
We seen such elegant lines of goods opened
up. The goods are here; and everybody |
knows they must be sold. There is no !
better market in the State to buy in, a |
fact which people from far and near have |
long since realized.
There is a demaed for small houses. |
Why don't some of you who own precious
dirt build more houses of this kind and
thereby make your lots pay revenue to
yourself and shelter the growing popula-
ton? Two and four room houses that
would rent for $500 to $1,000 month
would pay good dividend on the cost.
Parties desiring a strictly good tailor
made suit of clothes should give their
order to w. Z. Smith, the artistic young
merchant tailor. You get the genuine ar
ticle every time, made out of the best
goods to be had, fit perfect and workman
ship of the finest. Satisfaction guaran-
teed and prices as reasonable as other
first-class wOrkmen.
The Philadelphia Press says trousers
are to be worn narrower this year, but
the Boston Herald, an equally reliable au-
| thority, says they "are to be worn looser,
with wide patches to match Oh both hind
quarters Now, who is right and what
| is fellow to do under the circumstances?
! Upon general principles, however, we
| think the Herald has it?
This from the Paipsville Democrat is
produced without special reference to any
one in particular, but if it suits your case
why then apply it to yourself:
Don't think SO much about yourself
It's very reprehensible
| Or feel, when dressed in garments new,
That ali the world stands still to view,
1t has no time to waste on you,.
Brace up, and be more sensible.
The Rocky Mount Plain Dealer says
One of the most complete and valuable
inventions that we have seen in some
time is a tobacco orderer, invented and
patented by Mr.. Carter Pope, of Battle
boro. Mr. Popehad his machine at work
and on exhibition here last Monday, and
the novelty of the thing attracted quite
a crowd to witness the working OF it.
While it is very simple machine 1T will
prove a very valuable thing for tobacco
J farmers.
You boys ought to be kind to your lit
tie sisters. l once knew bad boy who
struck his little sister blow over the eye
although she didn't fade and die in the
early summer time, when the June roses
givness on her paid lips, but she rose up,
and hit him over the head with a rolling
pin, so that he couldn't go to Sunday
school for more than q month, on &C
2 count of not being able to put on his best
hat on" Carl Pretael."
Why are some people complaining
about hard times? We notice this: that
} merchants, like others, in q great measure
5 make their own success orfailure. Those
S enterprising young clOthiers and gents
r outftters, Barnes, Stainback Il Co., re
port good trade because they are up anc
, about, and therefore have no cause FOL
complaint. They say their sales wer'
}. very near 100 per cent. larger during
o September than they were for the CORE
spending month last year. Read thei
new advertisement in this paper.
