A Strictly business" Man

We had the pleasure of a call yester-
day from Mr.. Barton Fl. Gr,lndy. rep
resenting the well known and extensive
~ advertised Johnson Vegetable Nolan
dine Company, of Richmond, Va. q
concern which is rapidly pushing its
name and business throughout this and
adjoining States. We found him a
pleasant and agreeable gentleman. and
straight forward business man whose
method and manner are both uique and
pleasing. Mr.. Grundy is an ex-news-
paper man and was for some time con-
nected with the Richmond State, which
we recognize as one of the brightest
and snappiest of Virginia newspapers,
although we do not have the pleasure
of counting it among the welcome Wis
itors of its kind to our Office.
Mr.. Grundy if brother-in-law OF
Col. Richard F. Beirne. the brilliant
and talented editor of the State, who
made such a gallant run before the
Democratic convention for the nomi-
nation of Governor of the Old Domin-
ion, and whose broad patriotism and
vigorus manhood did so much with
both tongue and pen to give his sue
cessful opponent Capt. Phil Mckinney
his splendid victory over that disgrace

The POstOfIice Matter Again.

We cheerfully accord space to the
communication of Mr.. R. B. Hender-
son, touching the post Office question.
While we are willing to concede the
truth of what he says about the hon.
esty and good intentions of Mr.. Micks,
the present post master, we do not
agree with him that we should swat
and see what we shall see.' Fore
sight is even better than hindsight
sometimes, and this instance is one of
them. Few Of us want to see what
we doubtless would sea negro in
the Henderson post office-if the agree
ment as alleged to have been made, is
allowed to be carried into effect.
1t is never a pleasant thing to us to
| criticise or censure, but when it be-
| comes duty, as we conceive it to be,
/ we do not hesitate to speak out and
sound a timely warning. The public
good is the only interest we have in
| this matter.
| Since the communication above re-
ferred to was handed to US Mr.. Hicks
son, who is assistant post master, has
assured us that no negro will be en-
ployed in the office while his father is
in charge And so far as DIR. Pope is
concerned he met with peremptory
refusal to have his ''claims'' recog-
nized when he called with his petition,
of which we had something to say last
| week.

To My Friends and Patrons.

In entering upon the New Year desire
to extend to my many friends and GUS

thanks for the very liberal patronage
given me. III looking over the business
of the past year find the volume of my
trade has been largely in excess of what
it was the year before. This is both graft
flying and encouraging, because it shows
that my efforts to please (by fair dealing
and selling good goods at reasonable
Irving prices) have not been without good
results
In the future | shall be better than ever
prepared to meet the wants OF my GUS
toners, as1 shall buy in larger quantities
and carry larger stock During the
year 1890 l will be found at the same old
stand, Montgomery street, opposite
Cooper's warehouse, where will be pleased
to see and serve my friends at all times
Promising my best endeavors in behalf
of those who deaf with me in the future,
and again returning thanks to those
who have favored me with their patron
age in the past, and wishing a bright,
happy and prosperous new year to all, |
am, Very Respectfully,

Educational Institute

Prof Chas d. McIver will, during the
week beginning January Goth, hold an
Institute in Henderson.
This Institute is not for teachers only,
but for the people as well. Its efficiency,
therefore, will depend largely upon
whether or not the people attend. Let
as many as possible attend the daily ex-
ercises.
Friday OF that week will be devoted to
special exercises that will be Of interest
and profit to all who will attend. Adj
dresses will. on that day, be made by
Prof McIver and Others, which will do
much good to the cause of education if
the people will go and hear them.
In Virginia there is spent1or public ed
ucation on each child, white and black,
an average OF about two and one-half
times as much money as is spent in North
! Carolina, and the average length of an
| nual session in Virginia is about twice
that of ours. Not only SO, but we are
| behind almost all the other Southern
| States.
Except in few OF the cities, our public
| schools do not satisfy either their friends
or their opponents. We levy only 12h
| cents on 800 of property Zone and a
| quarter mills). The fact is, that with 80
small levy it is impossible to have an
efficient and creditable system of schools
Count and see how little it amounts to
on the assessed valuation of your prop
| erty.
| The great bulk of our people are farm
ers and laborers in other avocations, who
are solely dependent upon the public
schools for the education of their children.
Even of the white children, perhaps as
many as IL out of II in this State have
no other schools.
Perhaps you object to dividing with
the negroes As rule, the tax of 10y
cents on 800 of property raises more
money to each child, white and black, in
the counties where there are many ne
groes than in those counties where there
are few or none. 1t is the labor of a
county that makes it's wealth. If we did
not have the negroes we would have some
other poor people whose children would
have to be educated in the public schools.
| But, whatever may be said about edu-
eating the negroes, we cannot afford not
to improve our educational facilities,
whether we consider our financial condi-
ton and progress or the perpetuation OF
our civil and religious liberties. The
matter is within the power OF the people,
and when they come duly to consider
this great question, and see it as it is,
they will willingly tax themselves more,
and give more attention to the education
of their children.
If you say we are too poor, then re-
ply that the way to get richer is to edu-
cate our own people Intellectually and in
dustrially, SO that they may be able sue
cessfully to apply labor to the develop
ment of our many resources. The his
tory of the world points out this way,
and we cannot fail if all walk in it. With
good schools in the country districts
much of the discomfort and restlessness
Of the people will disappear, and better
success will attend their labors.
