lying around loose. In view of these
facts, an exchange says that if you
step ON carpet tack with your naked
foot, you can get the soreness out of
the wound by holding it over some
burning sugar. This relief is not quite
so quick as profanity, but it lasts
longer.
At her home in Alabama next We'd
nesday, our young tOwnsman, Mr.. w.

Mr.. Josiah Howe Vose, vice-presi-
dent of the Bank of Henderson, left
Monday on very pleasant mission to
the Northwest. In Kalamazoo, Mich
iSan, Wednesday next, April Goth, he
will lead to the marriage altar Miss
Mary Burns, an accomplished young
lady, the daughter of a distinguished
lawyer of that city. After short
bridal tour Mr.. and Mrs. Vose will re-
turn to Henderson which place they
will make their future home. We ex-
tend to the lady in advance of her ar
rival cordial welcome to our beau
tiful and fiourishing little city.
The supper given by the ladies at
the room of the Young Mems Christian
Association Tuesday night, was very
pleasant and enjoyable affair. While
it was for the benefit of the members
| only it looked a little selfish to see two
dozen men sitting down to a table
laden with all manner of good things
to eat provided by the ladies', when
| they themselves hadn part in enjoying
the feast of their own making. But
there is nothing selfish about the dear
good creatures when it comes to con-
tributing to the comforts or pleasures
of others.
Mr. Walter Rowland was good
enough to send to our office two very
fine carp for us to see, Tuesday. They
were taken from Mr.. Zach CARROTS
fish pond near town, and have been
raised since the first ones were put in.
The larger one weighed l pound and 9
, ounces, while the other was nearly as
large. Friend Walter has not yet re-
ported to us whether or not these par
ticular fish constituted a very palatable
dish. But he didn't fool us-much,
for we sized up a couple offresh corned
behring's next morning for breakfast.
Eli, Walter?
We very much regret to learn of the

promise. Deceased was about Is years

| Family Re-UnIOn.
| There was reunion of the sons,
6 in number, Of Mr.. William Daniel, a
well known citizen ofGranville county,
at his home last Saturday, and but for
the peculiar circumstances which
brought them together it would have
been most pleasant and happy event.
Mr.. Daniel has been sick for some
time and his death being looked for, at
almost any time, his sons, two of whom
live in distant States, were summoned
to his bedside. They are in the order
of their ages, Lewis, who lives in Gran
vile county, Isham, of Atlanta, Ga,
Albert, of Henderson, John, of Gran
vile, Russell, of Atlanta, Texas, and
jeff, who is the present very efficient
Register of Deeds of Granville. This
is the first time all had met together
in twenty odd years. 1t is useless to
say the aged father, feeble and broken
in health at he is, was happy at having
all his boys with him under the family
roof tree once more.
