Promoted.

Mr.. John NJ. Wester, who has Tor
several years been assistant agent OF
the Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad at tins
place, will take his leave of us this
week. His long, faithful and efficient
service in the company's employment
has entitled him to promotion and ne
has received it in the appointment as
agent at Greenwood, S. c., on the
Georgia, Carolina & Northern Rail-
way, the new road being built South
by the Seaboard Airline system.
While regretting Mr.. Wester's depart
ure we rejoice in this timely recognition
of his merits as correct and straight
forward business man, a conscientious
and faithful employee, and polite and
accommodating official. We commend
Mr.. Wester to the people of his new
home. His family will join him later.
When you want fresh and reliable gro
ceries, dry goods, &C., call on II. Thorn

to select, and his goods are always the
lowest.

A Narrow Escape from Death.

Mr.. Billy Smith, a large and successful
tobacco planter from the Eastern part OF
the State, having sold fine lot of "the
weed in the Henderson market this
week, concluded to attend the convention
of Democratic Clubs, which met in Raj
eigh yesterday. In attempting to jump
on the cars his foot slipped and he would
have fallen and been thrown under the
wheels and killed had it not been for his
coat (which he had just bought at the
Bargain Store) getting hung on the rail
ing and holding him up until he could be
rescued from his perilous position. He
was pulled out very much frightened but
in no way hurt. Had not Mr.. Smith
coat been strong and well made he would
have met with sudden and awful death,
and after getting over his fright he ex-
pressed himself as more than ever glad
that he had bought his new suit of cloth
ing at the Bargain Store. He not only
saved several dollars in the tranaction,
but had saved his life also.
The moral of this plain. Buy your
clothing at the Bargain Store as they
keep the best aud cheapest goods in
town.

Laughable Laffcrty.

1t will be agreeable news to those who
know Rev. J. j. Lafferty, d. D., the bril-.
liant and witty editor of the Richmond
Christi.n ADVOCATE, to learn that he will
lecture at Burwell@Hall next Thursday
evening. His subject viii be "Luck and
Pluck" which will be treated in humor-
GUS philosophical manner, as only the
gifted and versatile Doctor can. Some
people argue that there is nothing in
"luck," while we all know there is great
deal in "pluck," but we do not know
what there is in either until we hear
the great Observation-Disclosures On the
subject.
DIR. Lafferty will lecture under the aus
picet of the Ladies' Aid Society of the
Methodist Episcopal church, for whose
benefit it will be. He ought to have a
full house. The occasion and the cause
are eminently worthy of it. Reserved
seats so cents; general admission 35
cents; gallery 25 cents.

A Rich Treat Promised.

The finest thing in burnt cork come
dy that Henderson theatre goers will
have an opportunity of enjoying this
season, will be ''Colored Aristocracy,"
at Burwell Hall next Tuesday evening.
This is something entirely new, differ
ing from the ordinary minstrel enter
tainment, and only needs to be seen
to be enjoyed. The company is said
to be composed of the finest artists
in the country and their salary list is
by far larger than anything ever under
taken by any similar organization be-
fore. It is under the same manage
ment as the Hettie Bernard Chase
company, which is of itself a guaran
tee of its excellence and high character.
By an arrangement made between
Mr.. Burwell, the manager of the Hall,
and the advance agent, the company is
to share profits with the Vance Guards,
giving them certain per cent. of the
proceeds. Now let the friends of our
gallant military company turn out and
give them big testimonial benefit.
On account of a private reception in
town Tuesday evening the performance
at the Hall will commence promptly at
O'Clock, so as to enable those, who
will attend the reception to see ''Col-
ored Aristocracy'' first and then get
out in time for that.

OF course you will see the big adver-

being told to look for it. You can not
turn to the inside pages of the GOLD
LEAF without seeing that. And as a
matter of fact you will not see it with
out reading it. You want to know
what they say, what they have to sell
and what bargains they have to offer.
Well, read their advertisement and
then go to their store in the Young
Block and see for yourself. They have
displayed an immense stock of goods,
surprising in extent, variety and value
what you would imagine for a new
store just opened, and the end is not
yet. Go to the Bargain Store and see
what they have and how cheap they
are selling.

A Fine Performance.

The Hettie Bernard Chase Company,
which played at Burwell Hall Monday
evening, was one of the best that has
visited Henderson. Miss Chase is a
sprightly and vivacious little actress
and her support is very good. The
play ''Uncle's Darling" is full of in
terest and fine dramatic situations
while the plot is not a very strong one.
The scenery carried by the company is
worthy of special mention, the great
ice glacier scene with Aurora Borealis,
being specially fine. Mr.. John Cassidy
made the best stage Chinaman we have
seen. He is good actor and shared the
honors with the star herself. Miss
Whitney, Miss Pearl, and Messrs.
Chase, Calburt, Armstrong, Samueis
and Archer were strong in their re-
spective parts and altogether it is a
fine company.
Mr.. Chas. Archer's performance on
an ordinary tin whistle was the best
thing of the kind we ever heard. He
can certainly get more music out Of the
thing than we ever dreamed was in it.
The audience was the largest one OF
the season and everybody was well
pleased with the performance.

Would You Like to Hear Him ?


We are glad to learn that there is a
prospect of getting Rev. Thomas Dixon,
Jr., of New York city, to lecture here
soon. In response to an invitation he
wanted to come to Henderson when he
was in the State last summer, but his
engagements were such that he could
not. He has accepted an invitation to
deliver the annual address at the We'll
don Fair in October, and writes that
while he cannot be away from his church
on Sunday, he will have two dates that
he can fill and one of them has already
been given to Reidsville. This encourages
us to hope that he may be induced to
come to Henderson and lecture on the
night of October Doth.
We are sure all our citizens irrespective
of UNCONVENTIONAL prediction would be
glad OF an opportunity to hear this real
ly gifted and talented young North Car
Gilman who has made such brilliant
reputation as a preacher and lecturer in
the North We ask the friends and adj
mrers of Mr. Dixon in Henderson to in
terest themselves in the matter and we
think he can be induced to come.
