A VALUABLE FEEDER TO Henderson,
Already the benefit to our town Of the
Durham & Henderson Railroad is mani
Testing itself. While the line is not yet
complete car loads of stuff are shipped to
and from Henderson thus early. Messrs.
Parker & Gloss, our enterprising whole
sale merchants, have been shipping goods
out on the new road in car load lots, and
Tuesday car load of tobacco came in for
Cooper's warehouse. The new road opens
up a valuable territory and Henderson
must put forth the proper efforts to secure
her share of the trade.
THERE IS BUT ONE JULIE CARR.-North
Carolina has but one julie Carr. Pity it is
that there are not more like him. Such
men "liveth not to themselves alone" and
the world is made better for their living
in it. Another evidence Of his big-hcart-
edness (Mr. Carr is constantly doing noble
and charitable deeds) has just come to
light The Hillsboro Observer says:
Julian S. Carr, of Durham, has written a
letter to Sheriff Hughes in which he says
that he has seen in the papers that some of
the people of Orange county, are in a stuff
ering condition. He wants to know about
it, and tells the Sheriff if he says so, he
will order a car load of corn to be sent to
Orange at once. Mr.. Carr says that while
he has enough and to spare, he cannot see
the people of Orange suffer. Sheriff Hughes
is at home sick and up to Thursday had
not been able to answer Mr.. Cars letter.
There is only one julie Carr in North Car
DINA. He is worth more to the State than a
county full of such men as we have in our
mind.

SAD DEATH OF blight AND BEaUTf-
Full LITTLE BoY-Death is sad at all
times, whether it comes to the innocent
babe, the sprghuE youth, the strong
man, or the feeble and aged but when it
takes away a bright and beautiful child,
an only son, in whom were conferred the
hopes and ambitions OF loving and af
fectionate parents, it seems peculiarly so.
And thus we have to record the death of
little Richard, aged about four years.
only son of Mr.. and Mrs James Il. Young,
which occurred after a brief sickness of
diphtheritic Group about $50 O'Clock
Thursday night, March 21st. He was
taken sick only two days before and the
announcement OF his death Friday morn
ing was a painful surprise to the friends
of the family. Richard was q beautiful
blue-eyed little fellow, bright and intelli-
gent, and was a special pet and favorite
of all who knew him. Never was greater
parental love lavished upon child than
was given him, and never did father and
mother suffer deeper sorrow in the death
OF a loved one
Only u few years ago Mr. and Mrs
Young were called upon to give up their
only son, Wesley, a noble boy, and just
as another had taken his place and the
leaden weight OF sorrow had lifted itself
and given place to the reign of JOY and
gladness in their hearts as their hopes
and affections were conferred upon and en-
twined about little Richard, again the
dread messenger comes and the dear form
of another bright boy is laid away in the
cold embrace of the tomb. 1t is so sad
to part with such a lovely child, such a
promising boy, but God knows best, and
| we are taught that "He doeth all things
| WE'LL His ways are mysterious and in
| scrutable and our finite minds cannot
| grasp the meaning of all this here, but uI
yonder we shall know all, and then if not
now we may be able to say ''Thou didst
| what was best"
The funeral took place from the Pres
| byterian church at 4: 80 O'Clock Friday
afternoon, Rev. Alex Sprunt conducting
the service. His remarks We're quite
! touching and the feelings of thelarge con
gregation present were deeply moved. Thu
remains were inferred in the cemetery anC
inclenent as was the weather the funera
| procession was quite lengthy one
The sympathy of the entire community
is with Mr.. and Mrs. Young in their deel
| distress. This affection is a pecuiiarl,
sad one and their friends mourn with then
in the great grief that is theirs. May Go,
deal gently with the heart-broken parents
and help them to bear the cross that il
His goodness and wisdom He has secon,
time laid upon them.

A STRONG CoXPANY.-One of the strong
est fire insurance companies in this country
is the Etna, Of Hartford. Conn. Mr..
Claude Hunter is agent Of this company in
Henderson, and is successfully presenting
its claims to our people. The Hartford
Courant says of the Etna Insurance Com
pany
The Etna Insurance Company with a
capital of 8, 900 900 and assets of al most
$40, 600 900, is the largest fire insurance
company Of America-the acknowledged
leader in that great interest in which Hart
ford leads the rest Of the country. In
seventy years the lEtna has paid S63, O46,-
600 in losses, and its surplus to the insured
exceeds 81, 500, 600. Its insurance is pro-
lection SO complete that If any city III the
would go on paying all losses, solvent and
successful still. 1t has met every loss in
every great fire the country has seen,
always paying its insured in full, even
when it had to assess the stockholders to do
it. But to-day it has reached such posi-
ton that, no matter what city were burned
the risks are so distributed and the assets
SO accumulated that it could not even suf-
fer beyond a possible reduction of divi-
dends. Its name stands for conservative
policy and fair dealing. and it is univer-
sally known. Mr.. lothian Goodnow, the
president, has been connected with the
| company for twenty two years, and Mr.
William B. Clark, the vice president, foI
! twenty-one years, and the other executive
/ officers, Captain A. Z. Bayne and Messrs
