Sales of tobacco have been large and
satisfactory at all the warehouses this
week.
Mai. and Mrs. J. F. Harris are at
home and occupy their residence on
Breckenridge street.
Mr.. w. T. Stainback has been quite
sick for several days and is yet very
low. At one time it was thought he
could hardly live.
We never thought that gain of a
few hundred dollars would compensate
for the sacrifice of ones self-respect
and the respect Of his friends.
Prof. Bell asks us to say that the
drawing for the diamond ring has been
postponed until the latter part of next
week. He has been SO busy this week
he could not give it his attention.
The Henderson pOstoffice seems to
be in a very unhealthy condition since
it requires the services of two doctors
to run it. There is such thing as too
much quackery some times, though.
Mr.. J. T. King, successful young
farmer who lives in this county, near
the Granville line on the Northwest,
sold tobacco here Tuesday realizing
good prices-as they all do who sell on
this market
The Theological Society of Trinity
College, have chosen DR.. b. F. Dixon,
Superintendent of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum, to preach the annual sermon
before that society next June. A good
selection.
We echo the sentiment of the Oxford
Public Ledger when it says this ''Hur-
rah for our sister town, Durham! You
cannot down that town. They are de-
termined to have a Female College
that will do honor and credit to the
State.n
We had the pleasure of a call to-day
from Mr.. II. L. Elliot. representing
the Peoples Building and Loan asso-
citation of Minneapolis, MINI. He has
just put in strong branch of his Asso-
citation in Raleigh and hopes to be as
successful here.
Another change has been made in
the schedule of trains ON the Richmond
s. Danville Railroad The morning
train leaves 20 minutes earlier and the
evening train arrives 40 minutes later.
With this exceptions the schedule is
the same as heretofore.
Mr.. A. G.. Finch, Vance county
boy, who is cultivating tobacco for
Capt. Calvin Barnes in Wilson, was
here this week with lot of his pro-
duct for sale. He had 4,4l4 pounds for
which he realized an average of $50.
He sold at Cooper's warehouse.
Mr.. d. Y. Cooper Is handling several
irst-class brands of fertilizer again this
season as usual. He sells Ober's
Special Tobacco Compound. Raleigh
Standard, Natiooal, SC. To raise fine
tobacco you must use good fertilizers.
Call and see Mr.. Cooper and get his
prices for this season.
The following Is the schedule of
trains on the Richmond & Danville
Railroad: Train leaves for Richmond
and North at 1855 a. IN. Arrives from
Raleigh, Durham and South at 1905
p. m. Leaves for Raleigh, Durham
and South at 2:l0 p. m, arriving from
Richmond and North at SAG p, NJ.
Dr.Geo. I. Nowitzky, the irrepresible
and Incompatible, of Indian Tea fame,
is here this week Grating to large crowds
as usual. He seldom fails to strike
Henderson during court week, and
never fails to meet with warm recep-
ton. The Doctor has lately been a
victim of the grip as he tells In rhyme
in another part of this paper.
If you have frequent headaches, diz-
illness and fainting spells, accompanied
by chills, CRAMPS, corns, bunions, chill
blains, epilepsy and jaundice, it is a
sign that you are not well, but you are
liable to die at at any minute. Pay
your subscription year in advance
snd thus make yourself solid for a good
obituary notice.-Dansrille IN. ~

In the Henderson GOLD LEAF Mrs.
Alice Blount shannon has column
and half poem entitled "A Dream of
Heaven" We quote the following:
.lt was arehed with rainbows of hope and
love,
And pendant Sun hung from its dome
above
Its draperies lace work Of feecy clouds,
As pure and fair as day dreams,
LOOped with clusters OF twinkling stars
And embroidered with sunbeams"
