n FEW NOTES FROM HENDERSON,
Rev. J. A. Speight, associate editor
of the Biblical Recorder. made recent
visit to Henderson, and writes, as fol-
lows concerning US:
Henderson is a rival of Durham in the
tobacco interest, and is widening out
into large and beautiful town. The
great sums of money accumulated by
handling this plant amazes us, and but
for seeing it there is no doubt but we
would doubt with the energy of a
Thomas.
Religiously this place is about equally
divided between the different denOmina-
lions, with some signs in favor of our
Baptist folks, and a more hopeful set of
people you will hardly meet.
November is the time for the clans to
gather here from all over the State and
you can be assured that the deck will be
clear when they come.
Pastor VanDeventer keeps his work
we'll in hand, and things move along as
nicely as a summers breeze.
Turning our face toward the West,
and we were told that twelve mile ride
would put us in Oxford; not the Oxford
of old England, but the Oxford of the
"Old North State And that as city
OF oaks it rivals even Raleigh, the home
of the Biblical Recorder. West of this place
we are told is fine mission field, and the
pastor here and his people are preparing
to enter it and SO work it up as to have
it in trim for good man to take posses
sion of it at no distant day. This will be
done, for there are no sluggards here.
The camp fires are burning. The people
are brim full of life. And best of all we
found home and welcome, such as
only Il few men receive in a lifetime, with
Bro. J. H. Lassiter aud wife They We're
the friends of our father and always the
friends of the Recorder. We touch our hat
to the people and the place and start for
LittletOn. Here is our steam horse har-
messed and hooked and ready for the
fray and we are off.
WANTED.-Fom or FIVE table boarders.
Apply to Mrs. J. A. STALLINGs.
