Whenever you write to distant
friend or relative, speak a good word
for your town.

S. c., is visiting friends and relatives
in Henderson.
Mr. T. A. NOEL is able to be attend
ing to business again after his long and
severe sickness.
A very neat and attractive adver-
tisement is that of Barnes. Stainback
Il Co. Read it and see how they have
to talk.
Fertilizer dealers will soon be doing
rushing business. The roads have
been SO bad that very little of the crop
grower has been carried out so far.
Maj. J. F. Harris advertises a four
seated pheton, buggy and set of one
double harness for sale. Nearly as
good as new and will be sold cheap.
Fruit trees are putting out in full
bloom. Some anxiety was felt for the
safety of early fruit during the late cold
spell, but so far it has net been injured.
NJ. Dorsey has just received another
supply of Radam's Microbe Killer,
medicine which has had a remarkably
large sale since being introduced here.
The action of the Tobacco Board of
Trade in adopting resolutions on the
death of Mr.. Patrick H. Gary, late
member of the association, did not come
under our notice until after this paper
was made up last week.
Farming operations have been great
ly retarded on account of the excessive
and continued rains. Tobacco plant
ing will necessarily be late, and under
the most favorable conditions the next
crop will hardly be an everage one.
This is the season when the paint
brush can be used to the greatest adj
vantage. AS soon as the weather will
admit of such work being done there
are many houses in town that liberal
application of this beautifier would
greatly improve.
Col. w. H. Hood who has been
away for some time doing some sur
veying, is home for a short while. One
of the best surveyors and civil engin-
GERS in the country, and skilful
draughtsman as well, his services are
in constant demand.
AS will be seen by advertisement in
this paper Mrs. Bette n. Dung offers
her elegant residence 'MistletOe
Villa" for rent. This is a most de-
sirable residence in a convenient but
quiet part of the town. The furniture
will be sold privately.
We are sincerely grieved at the
death of the estimable young wife of
our friend Mr.. NJ. F. Hart, which oc-
CURED in Oxford at an early hour Tues
day morning. The remains were tax zen

and Mrs. Hart, for burial.
Delinquent tax payers should not
fail to pay their respects to Sheriff
Smith and Town Collector Currin be-
fore the first day of April. After that
date they will proceed to levy upon
piOoNiIoSo Ia"
and advertise same for sale.
You need not look for 4 larger and
better stock of general merchandise
than Lassiter, Stainback & Co.'S nor
handsomer and better displayed ad-
vertisement inviting your attention to
their establishment. Read it and see
what they say and then go and see
them.
J. l.. Currin, city tax collector. gives
notice by advertisement in this paper
that all persons who have not paid their
town taxes must do so at once as the
law requires that all property on which
the taxes have not been paid must be
advertised for sale on the first day of
April.
This town, in common with the bal
ance part of North Carolina, has been
on big mud boom for several weeks,
but at this writing streets have dried
off somewhat. Some time in the future
let us hope there will be less cause for
complaint about mud when the streets
shall be we'll paved and macadamized.
Capt. .. II. smith, whose headquaf-
tiers are all over the State wherever his
services are demanded, has been home
a couple Of wrestling in the throes OF
the grip. He says an obstinate case
of grip is harder thing to move than
the biggest house in North Carolina,
or the mud from the stress of Hen
derson.
While the farmers are making prep
arations to pillow the ground and plant
their seeds. it would be a good time
for our business men to plant their adj
vertisements. There is something about
spring that makes things come up, and
there is something about well circu-
lated newspaper advertisement that
makes buyers come up to the adver-
User. Come up and try it and see
how it works.
