It's always put up or shut up
with an umbrella. With some people
it's neither.

The meaning of the word advertise,
- to make Known explains its i'm
portance. Make known what you have
to sell or what you wish to buy. The
benefits are so far-reaching that you
cannot tell where they will end. Like
the ripples of water caused by stone,
they extend far beyond the sight

The Baptist Sunday-school had an
excursion to Wake Forest to-day.
They went by special train, leaving
here at 8:l5 this morning. A good
sized crowd went and pleasant day
will doubtless be the portion of all.
There is nothing that little folks enjoy
more than going on an excursion-and
we believed in making the children happy.
We had the pleasure of call this
week from Mr.. A. 2. Mcpherson, rep
resenting the National Alliance Insur-
ance company of New York. This
is company that furnishes to bust
ness and professional men the'' SIM
plest form of life insurance, secure
and equitable, at q minimum cost"
Mr.. Mcpherson will take pleasure in
explaining its plans and operations to
any who may be interested.
The Sunday-school of Trinity church
(Methodist EpiscopaD OF Durham. had
an excursion to Littleton Tuesday.
There were six coaches and they were
all filled. The Durham Cornet Band
was along and struck up lively air as
they reached Henderson. The day was
pleasantly spent, Judging from appear
ances as the excursionists passed
through on their return The little
folks were bright and cheerful and full
of fun.
We have voiced the same sentiment
before, but a good thing will bear re-
peating; and 50 we wish to emphasize
the fact that one way to help make a
community prosperous is to encourage
home industry. And in this every
person can contribute his or her share
toward that end. Buy the products OF
the local manufactures in preference
to foreign concerns. Keep the money,
as far as possible, circulating among
our own people instead OF sending If
far away and away forever.
1t is complimentary to our tOwnsman,
DR.. W. T. Cheatham. that his friends
pressed him so close to the point OF
success in urging his claims for Presi.
dent of the State Medical Society al
Oxford last week-an honor he would
wear worthily and well. Instead Of
elccting by the convention, the Asso-
citation has adopted plan of having a
committee of five to elect the President
and our friend only lacked one vote OF
election. Dr. Cheatham has been 4
useful and honored member Of the AS
ISOLATION long time and is very pop
ular in its assemblies.
The conduct of apart of the audience
at Burwell Hall Tuesday night would
have done credit to circus crowd in
days of the first settlement of the wild
west. Whether done thoughtlessly o.
otherwise, loud hallooing, screeching
whstling and knocking or kicking
on the floor as if trying to stave it in,
shows a want of respect for the female
portion of the audience and should mol
be committed or tolerated in any civil
lied community. Such conduct is not
applause and is positively insulting t.
those at whom it is directed. But the
small boys are not the only ones who
indulge in this sort of thing they are
aided and allotted by some older persons
of whom we have a right to eXpec
better.
