Mr.. Finch was rising member of
the Mecklenburg bar, and bid fair to
attain an eminence in the profession he
had chosen, second to none, and so

constantly rising in his vocation. =

his bosom, and the little orphaned
ones. as we'll as to his numerous rela-
tives and friends. our sincere condo

A rich and successful merchant is
credited by one Of our exchanges as
having testified as follows as to the
value of newspaper advertising. He
says: Il always feel happy when l
am advertising, for then l know that,
waking or sleeping, have a strong
though silent orator working for me;
one who never tires, never makes mis-
take, and who is certain to enter the
household. from which, if at all, my
trade must cOme.''
An exchange says if Paris green be
mixed with fine wheat middlings, and
spread dry around tomato and cabbage
plants, the cut worms, which are the
most destructive enemies of the gar
deners will be baked. They take
quite readily to the poisonous food,
and the next morning number of
dead worms will be found on the sur
face, while the plants will be untouch-
ed. Suppose you give it a trial, We

the future outlook of town city county
State or nation as genuine evidences of
a determination upon the part of the
many, or even Of the few, to keep pace
with the march Of improvements, ma
terially, socially, intellectually, COM
mercially, and otherwise. We are glad
to notice that Henderson is, one way

vancement, onward and upward. The

Determined to keep pace with the
march of Improvement, materially, So
cially, intellectually and commercially,
she takes another important step along
the highway of progress and prosperity
AS evidence the subscription in favor
of the Nash county railroad is carried,
and ere long our town will have an
outlet ola the Atlantic Coast Line, the
third of the three great railway systems
of the State.
We are marching onward and up
ward, reaching out for more trade, in
viting more population and capital, es-
tablishing more industrial enterprises
and paving the way for greater mate
rial development and prosperity.
The election Monday to determine
the question of whether or not sub
scription should be voted in favor OF
building a railroad into Nash county,
to connect with the Atlantic Coast
Line and secure the trade of that East
ern section, resulted in favor Of the
proposition by an overwhelming ma
jority.
The vote was as follows: For sub
scription, All against subscription, 81
There was nothing like full registra-
ton, nor did all vote that were regis
tered. The books show that II names
wete registered, while only 452 Of these
voted. -.,
1t speaks well for the liberal, pro-
gressive spirit of our citizens that the
vote was 50 nearly unanimous. No
people are more thoroughly wide awake
and alive to the interest of the town
and community than those composing
the population of Henderson. This
is shown when it comes to voting on
