Curing ones feet Ct its Ills and referring to 9TH

A Step Forward for..HendersOn.

''The work on the new Storage ware
house at this place has been commenced by
the contractors and it will be pushed to
cOmpletion very soon.
w. H. SMOOT & Co."
This announcement by private letter
shows what our Henderson friends are
doing. They have gone about this Storage
warehouse business in a business like way
and are going to make it a success. Hen
derson has reached that stage in her career
when a storage warehouse is necessity
and as soon as this fact became apparent
her business men planked down the cash
and the consequence is a building that will
be the pride of the town and the turning point
in Henderson's tobacco trade. Henderson
now leaves her old self of yesterday in the
past and puts her foot forward on a new
line of greater prosperity. Now let facto-
ries follow, so that some of her golden
product can be converted into Uncle Sans
Eagle brand gold-and then-well we
might as we'll cut out a new State call ed
the Golden Belt. and make Henderson the
Capital.-Danoutc Tobacco Journal

SEAM DRAWERS

Are provided with an improvement con-
sistng of an elastic insertion at the inner
and outer seams, which gives elasticity in
movement and comfort in fit. The draw
ers are cut in figure outlines and afford
the Wcarer all the advantages of knit
goods, while retaining the superior COM
fort Of woven fabric. Tie patent elastic
seam, which contains 10 rubber, retains its
springinesS, and wears longer than the
other portion of the garment. 1t makes the
drawers conform to the position OF the
wearer, and avoids any strain no matter
what attitude the body assumes.
These drawers conform strictly to the
outline of the figure when standing at rest,
and give ease and comfort, and are with
out that tightnesS Of feeling necessarily
produced by other garments.
One Of the pecuEaritieS of these drawers
is that the seams only being elastic, they
allow a remarkably easy action in walk
ing. as all the friction caused by motion is
AZ once transferred to the seams, while the
main fabric of the drawers is allowed to
retain its shape and position.
1t Will also be found that these Patent
Elastic Seam Drawers are equally we'll
adapted to all athletic positions, and How
the greatest freedom and ease of motion
In the position assumed i'm the above cut
not the least tension is produced Oh the
main portion Of the goods, while the elias
tic seams allow the transformation of the
figure as seen in the position, which would
be impossible in others without producing
great strain on the goods and friction upon
the person. Call and see them.
