A market house is one of the needs of
Henderson. The town authorities could
not do better service than by securing
such an institution.
A man who pretends to be your friend
and will stab you in the back is ten times
worse and more to be stunned than an open
Hpowed enemy. It is only the coward who
wears the double face.-Churubuseo Sun

Always trade with the merchant who de-
sires your trade enough to ask for it
through the medium of we'll worded ad-
vertisemcnt, and you will be sure to get
your moneys worth. Scan our advertising
columns and see who advertises.
Is TascOtt hiding here? 1t is intimated
that he is. The Chicago detectives say it
is aScertained, beyond doubt, that Tas-
colt, the murderer of millionaire Smell
has taken refuge as clerk in SOME store
that does not advertise, and is therefore
safe from the minions of the law W.
nsington Messefger.
You may hive the stars in a nail keg,
hang the ocean Oh a rail fence to dry, put
the sky to soak in gourd and unbuckle
the bellyband Of eternity and let the sun
and moon out, but don't think you can es-
cape the place that lies on the other side of
Georgia Enterprise.
Says the Shelby New Era, and it never
uttered more potent truth:
1t takes money to run paper, and If the
people want good paper they should sup
people who "euss" and abuse the editor
Tor not publishing better paper, yet do
not contribute one cent to its support.
The Nashville ArgoHdm crowds great
deal Of truth into very few words when
1t says this:
Every community which weuld grow
and prosper must be willing to aid There
must be manifested spirit of enterprise.
We have no right to expect outside people
and capital to come to our help until we
try to help ourselves.
There are some people who pretend to
believe that advertising does not pay. To
this class the Eliza beth City Nees says
II merchants think advertisements are
not lead by the people, just let them adj
VertiSe to give away something and see how
soon their stock is exhausted. Advertise
ments are always read by the people. for
these hard times they are always Oh the
lookout for bargains and when one is offer
ed they are not slow to take advantage
of it.
Henderson now has two smoking tobac-
ROOM here for dozen more, and no place
in the State offers better inducement for
this pal ticular class of manufactures. The
best tobacco in the world for smoking to-
bacco and cigarettes is produced here in
abundance and finds sale on the Hender-
son market. There is no better opening
anywhere for persons to engage in this
line Of business.
Why would not fertilizer factory be 4
good thing for Henderson? Wilmington.
Raleigh, Durham, Goldsboro, Tarboro and
other towns in the State have such enter
prises and they pay we'll, and besides the
farmers get pure article, and something
like the worth of their money when they
buy the home product. Enormous quanti-
ties of manipulated fertilizer are used in
this State and home manufacturers Onght
to supply most of it.

Says an observant exchange : A perfect
town is that in which you see the farmers
patronizing the home merchants, the labor
ers spending the money they earn with
their own tradesmen, and all animated by

The spirit of reciprocity between business
men and mechanics, tradesmen and labor
ers, farmers and manufacturers, result
every time in making town perfect one
to do business in.
