terest paid promptly. For particulars

To the Ladies.
In this issue will be found an APP
peal signed by Mr.. J. S. Carr, Presi-
dent of the North Carolina Veterans
Association We feel that the appeal
will commend itself to the women of
Henderson, and we would be glad to
do what we can through our columns
to forward this matter. The Execu-
tive Committee, without funds sufficient
in hand to maintain the "Home," have
opened it, believing that the good peo-
pie of North Carolina will sustain it.
Now we should see to it that the COM
mittee is not disappointed, and it be-
hOOves the women of Henderson to
show the community is as loyal to the
Confederate soldier as Raleigh or Dur
ham, or as to that matter, as any town
in the State from Manteo to Cherokee.
Who will authorize us to say that they
will at once move in the matter?
Something nice in silk handkerchiefs,
mutflers, &c, at Watkins. The prettiest
stock in town. See them. dec 4

sons who may wish to purchase would do
well to call and see me at once.

MIR. James II. Young.
This gentleman, who has been Clerk
of the Superior Court since the founda-
ton of Vance county, turned his office
over to his successor, Mr.. Henry Perry,
and stepped down and out of official
duties Monday. In this connection it
is but justice to Mr.. Young to say that
he has made a good officer, as the rec
OrdS viii show. AS clerk OF the Court
he had few equals and no superior in
the State. This is the testimony of
the ablest and best Judges on the
Bench under whose jurisdiction Mr..
Young has served. Always prompt
and accurate in this capacity, he has
measured up to the full standard of his
duty, and leaves the office with the
commentator and good wishes of all
court officers and those who have been
brought into business contact with
him.
Having served the county long and
faithfully he refused to stand for re-
election and will in future devote his
time and energy entirely to his insur-
auce ane real estate business. together
with the duties required of him as
president of the Atlantic, Henderson &
Virginia Railroad, which will require
much of his attention. Mr.. Young
represents a long line of companies
embracing some of the oldest and best
life, fire and marine associations in
existence, and his business has grown
to such proportions as to demand his
entire time in looking after it,
Chief among Mr.. Young's companies
is the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
the largest insurance company in the
world, in which, while in the Clerks
office, he has written more business in
Henderson and vicinity than all other
companies combined. His other COM
panies are the Hartford, Phoenix.
Imperial, Continental, Northern. Vir-
ginia Fire and Marine. Springfield Fire
and Marine. North Carolina Home,
Underwriters and other fire companies.
Mr.. Young has always been an
active spirit in all matters of public
enterprise and has been closely identi-
fed with the progress of the town and
county. and in his present position,
relieved of his official duties, he will be
enabled to give more of his time and
attention to affairs of public benefit.
