The man who goes honestly through
this world will get many bump as he
goes along, but after all. his condition
will be infinitely better than that of
the man who goes through without an
tagonizing anything, and just goes as
the majority may carry him.-Greens-
borO Workman.
by friendship suppose you mean
the greatest love, and the greatest use
fitness, and the most open cOmmunica-

ness and the severest truth, and the
heartiest counsel, and the greatest
union of minds. of which brave men
and women are capable"
The spirit of improvement is mani
fest on every hand in Henderson. New
buildings are going up in every direc-
ton, and new enterprises are springing
into existence that will drive the car Of
progress forward still more rapidly.

one hundred fine photO-engravings

and prGdent purchaser never fails to
| watch the advertisements for bargains
| and take advantage of them.

And all their big parade.

Discarding printers ink
Burst the man of business,
And see his credit sink
