Of Interest to Tobacco Planters.
1t is with pleasure that we direct at
tention to the large and attractive ad-
vertisement through which the ware
housemen and buyers of Oxford speak
to tobacco planters this week. They
make a bid especially for Snow Wire
Cured tobacco and announce that
they are prepared to pay the highest
prices for it. Whatever may be said of
the Snow process Of curing the fact
that such intelligent and experienced
men as Hunt, Cooper & Co., proprie-
tors Of Meadows Warehouse, Bullock
& Mitchell, Banner Warehouse, Cozart,
Rogers & Co., Centre Warehouse, R.
V. Minor & Co., Minor Warehouse,
r. F. Knott, Manager Alliance Ware
house, and the large corps of buyers
whose names are appended, endorse it
and stand ready and anxious at all
times to buy this tobacco, carries its
own argument. They would hardly
be seeking an article that there is no
virtue in. The intelligent reader can
study the matter and form his own
conclusions.

The Street Case Settled.
1t is a matter of qualification that
the Breckenridge street case, involving
the right of title to the mouth of the
street or the piece of land lying next
to Watkins store has been settled.
The town has used it as street for
many years, but it was claimed by the
Davis heirs JAS. r. Davis, executor),
that it had never acquired the right of
title to the property and it belonged to
them. They took possession and stop
ped up the street. The case was car
ried to the courts, and has been in the
Supreme Court time or two. It was
a complicated matter and has created
considerable interest. A settlement
has been arrived at the town paying
the Davises $1,000 and they agreeing
to relinquish all claim to the property
and remove the distractions at once.
. We are glad the matter has been adj
iusted, and we think it is better for
all parties concerned that it has been
in this way amicably settled.

HENDERSON COLLEGE.
Scholarships for Session of i6ei-e2


By request of the principals and in the
interest of the children of the town we
take pleasure in publishing thefoHowing:
The PRINCIPALS of the college, wishing
to show their interest in the cause OF ed
ucation, and to emphasize the non -secta-
rian character of their institution, offer
five scholarships, one to each OF the prin-
cipal CONGREGATIONS in Henderson, viz
The Baptist, the Episcopal, the Pro
testant Methodist, the Methodist Epls-
copal and the Presbyterian.
The plan devised to secure the best re-
suits is as follows:
Each congregation shall select from
the members two or more children whose
parents or guardians are unable to pay
their tuition. These children, their char
acter vouched for by their respective
congregations, shall present themselves
at the college, August 10th, 10 O'Clock
a. m, to stand an easy competitive ex-
animation, thereby enabling the prin-
cipals in deciding among the various
contestants to select those most worthy
the high privileges thus accorded us.
These examinations will have reference
to the grade of the student in the class
room, but embracing general questions
in United States History, Geography,
Grammar and Arithmetic. They will
merely serve as a standard OF excellence
to assist the principals in selecting the
best from the material presented to
them.

as we must get them out of
the way to make room for new
purchases of FALL and WIN

exactly got an elephant on our
hands, but we have a larger
stock of weight Wearing
Apparel than we want at this
advanced stage of the season,
Notwithstanding we have sold
great quantities Of goods, and
these must go too. There is
no use talking, but just now
we would rather have the room
than the goods, and have it we
must-or we will know the
reason to the contrary.
We are not resorting to any
sham methods to sell goods.
Our special offers are genuine
REDUCTION SALES and
can stand the closest scrutiny
and comparison. We do not
like to advertise that we are
selling goods at no proht-it
does not seem plausible, yet
business men can readily I'M
derstand how it becomes nee
essary some times, especially
at the close of the season, and
most any man of ordinary in
telligence can easily see into
the matter, that an establish
ment like ours, carrying such
a large stock, must adopt some
preventive from being overbur-
dened with accumulations at
the end of the season, and the
only alternative is to Sell the
Goods without regard to price,
but put a figure on that MUST
CLEAN THEM OUT. This
we are doing-WE MEAN
BUSINESS.
The Standard of the Stock
we have got to sell is too well
known to require any further

Destructive Storm.

Quite destructive hail storm passed
through the Old Shatter neighborhood
of Warren and Vance counties Sunday
afternoon, completely destroying crops
of all kinds. We learn that Mr.. Thos.
B. Watson's whole tobacco crop was
torn all to pieces and cotton beat into
the ground. Mr.. L. n. Watson suffered
almost as bad. Mr.. J. A. Tunstall's
crop was ruined as were those of his
neighbors. So complete was the de-
struction that many of the farmers
settled with their hands Monday morn
ing and discharged them, having no
further use for their services. They
have no crop to cultivate and at this
advanced season it is too late to re-
plant of course. The track of the
storm was two or three miles wide
and the extent we have not yet been
able to learn.

Death of Dea. Benz. p. Brow

Death of Dea. BENZ. p Brown.
Dea. Benz P. Brown died at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank
Fay, in East Hardwick, May 6. The
funeral was held in the church at
Passumpsic Friday, May s, as the
body was brought here for inter
ment. Dea. Brown was 80 years
and 10 months old, man of strong
religious convictions and deserving
more than a passing notice. He was
born at Lyndon in 1901 and at the
age of - years moved with his
mother from Lyndon to Passumpsic,
where most of his life was spent.
When at the age of 25 years he was
married to Ann Arlington, and the
union thus formed was permitted to
continue a period of SO years. He
became a Christian and was bap-
TIED into the fellowship of the Bap-
fist church in Passumpsic May LIST,
1928, of which he was a highly es-
teemed and beloved member at the
time of his death. He lived a very
devoted and exemplary life during a
to church and Christian work and
his genial and kind spirit made him
valuable member of the church and
community in which he lived. He
always took a deep interest in every
thing he felt to be right and for the
growth and development Of true
piety in his home and church. He
was kind and beloved father His
last days were days of suffering but
he was sustained and comforted by
his Savior's presence until the shad-
ow Of death gave place to eternal
day. Let us all profit by his lite and
Christian example.
