Rev. Alexander Sprunt.

It is indeed matter of genuine re-
greet that Rev. Alexander Sprunt, who
for the past six years has been pastor OF
the Henderson Presbyterian church,
is about to leave US. He has accepted
the position Of General Secretary OF
the Evangelistic Committee of the
North Carolina Synod, which Of course
necessitates his resignation as pastor
here. The position which Mr.. Sprunt
assumes is quite an important and re-
sponsible one, as he will have general
charge of the evangelistic work in the
State, and will supply the place OF
Rev. Egbert G. Smith, who on account
of i'll health has been granted a leave
of absence for six months.
The congregation was to have assem-
bled Wednesday night to receive Mr.
Sprunt's resignation as pastor, but
owing to the rain the meeting was
postponed until 6o'clock this afternoon
Friday night at $3.50 O'Clock Albemarle
Presbytery will meet to act upon this
resignation, at which time a sermon
will be preached by Rev. John 5
Watkins, D. D., Of Raleigh.
Mr.. Sprunt's family will reside IL

When Mrs. Million goes to ride she travels
forth in state,
Her horses, full of fire and pride. so

But all the beauties of the day she views
with laEguid eye,
Her flesh in weakness wastes away, her
voice is but a sigh;
For Mrs. Million is in an advanced stage
of catarrh. and all the Injuries that wealt tn
can buy fail to give her comfort. She en-
vies her rosy waiting-maid, and would give
all her riches for that womanS pure
breath and blooming health. Now, if some
true and dislnterested friend would advise
Mrs. Million of the wonderful merits of
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, she would
learn that her case is not past help. $500

A Fine Piece Of Work.

One of the best pieces Of map draw
ing we have seen was that done by Mr.
Charles f. Petrie, showing Fox's pond
and surroundings, the property con-
trolled by the Henderson water works
company. It would sooner be taken
for Autograph than pen and ink work.
The details are accurate, the outlines
perfect and the letters uniform. Mr..
Petrie is not only a thorough and sci
entific civil engineer, but skilful aud
accomplished draughtsman also. Per-
sons interested can see the work refer
red to at Hardee's store. Since writing
this we have seen another piece of Mr..
Petrie's work, somewhat different in
character, hanging up in the post Of

ton and drawn forth favorable COM

Alliance Rally in Oxford.

Col. Polk was the only one Of the
prominent speakers advertised for the
big Alliance meeting in Oxford Tues
day, who showed up on the occasion.
But his reception was all the more
cordial and his presence the more ap-
preciated On this account no doubt.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, Col. Livingston
and President Stokes failed to material
ize, but there was no lack Of good
speaking and the day was an enjoyable
one to all. A good many people went
over from Henderson and other parts
Of Vance county were we'll represented
Such meetings can not fail to be Of

This woman is in tears be-
cause her " liege lord" has al
lowed himself to be imposed
upon. Instead of going to
Barnes, Stainback &

he thought he could do as well
elsewhere and not being a
Judge of such things got poor

he paid the same money that
he could have got far supe-

no wonder his wife is mortified
at the Figure he cuts in those

of his hard earned dollars gone
in that way it is perfectly nat

We are now in the midst OF

This is not Drag nor blow, but

Any one who is not blind and

A Word With Tobacco Planters.


PATRONS OF HENDERSON TOBACCO
MARKET. unsolicited is sell
dom received with any degree of thanks,
yet l will assume the liberty of por-
traying to my friends and patrons of
the Henderson tobacco market such
knowledge as l conceive to be to the
mutual interest Of both planter and
buyer.
A few years since the whole trade
wanted white and fancy colored
tobaccos; then it was that the planter
was justifable in cutting his tobacco
before it was ripe in order to effect
this high color, SO much sought after
for Notwithstanding the pounds were
less, the fancy prices received largely
made up for shortage in weight. The
demand for white tobaccos. however.
has SO much decreased that it be-
hooves the planter now to change his
ideas of aohea to cut and hoac to cure.
In the first place he wants to wait
until his tobacco is nearer ripe. Then
he should aim for a dark to bright
mahogany color. With this delay in
cutting it will then insure him better
class Of filters, as the tip stands a
better chance of getting ripe and cur
ing mahogany instead fgreen. While
green tips have sold at unprecedented
prices this season you must remember
it was caused by a shortage in the per
cent. of good filters. No tip unless
very ripe) makes good chew as it is
invariably bitter, even with great age,
hence the risk of getting it's value when
cured green. When your tobacco has
been cured, then in justice to your
selves and the market make special
effort to see that it is carefully assorted
putting the various grades strictly
to themselves. The buyer will often
agree with you that he has gotten a
lot of your tobacco at $50. that con-
tains wrappers worth $40, but he can
show you in same lot tobaccos not
worth $40. Then whose fault is it that
you are disposed to complain? Could
the farmer have better knowledge of
the Inconvenience, annoyance and ex-
pense the buyer is put to i'll getting
his purchases in uniform shape for his
patrons it would doubtless be a valu-
able lesson to him in getting his stock
ready for the market. If you have
cutters in your crop which Of course
you will, then make strictly cutter
grades; you can make them net you
more than in any other way, and
should the crop be cured mahogany,
cutters will doubtless command more
money than they have this season.
Our buyers are determined the Hen
derson market shall continue to grow
as it has since its infancy, and in order
to effect this growth the farmers best
interest is always considered. w.

their labors will be fruitful Of success.
They expect to return to Henderson

The Excursion to Norfolk,

The most quiet, orderly and alto
gether enjoyable excursisn we have
ever been on was Chayasse & Macy's
Bonanza No. 5 to Norfolk last week.
The train consisted of Is coaches and
they were all full while not uncom-
fOrtably crowded. We have never
seen better behavior where there was
such a promiscuous crowd. There
were special coaches for white people
separate and apart from those of the
colored, and We saw no disposition On
tle part of any to intrude themselves
where they did not belong.
Everything possible was done for the
comfort and convenience of the excur-
sionists, and with the exception of the
schedule being somewhat slower trip
on the regular mail going or coming
could not have been pleasanter. The
train was in charge of that prince OF
clever railroad conductors Capt. Thos
II. Chavasse. the affable and obliging
Capt. Emmett Stone, the handsome and
courtly Capt. Harry Chavasse and the
courteous and clever Capt. Wm
Brooks, whose every desire aud pleasure
it was to contribute to the safety, com.
fort and pleasure of those under their
charge.
The excursion was a success every
way.
Next week we will have something
to say Of Norfolk-its environments
and attractions, its growth and its bus
