Eli Perkins has been delighting large
audiences where he has lectured. and we

dead long, long while.-Ei Perkins

Henderson is very much in need Of some
kind of an organization to look after
her material development, and to take
under consideration propositions look
ing to that end. We had great hopes
that the Chamber of Commerce would
serve this purpose, but that has been al
lowed to go down, it seems, without hav-
ing accomplished any good to that end.
The friends of Mrs J. A. StaIings will
welcome her return to Henderson. She
has been in Washington city for some
weeks, having gone there to accept a pO-
sition in one of the government depart
ments, and while she supposed she was
acting on a certainty it turned out that
she was disappointed. Another position
was offered her but the duties and pay
not being satisfactory she declined to ac-
cept it.
Rev. J. W. Scott, colOred, formerly a
well known barber Of Henderson, who is
now pastor of the colored Baptist church
of Abbeyvile, s. C., is here this week on
his way North in the interest of his
church. His congregation are trying to
raise money to build a larger and better
house of worship, and he is sent to New
York to represent them in the matter.
We hope he will succeed in his undertake
ing He is intelligent, well behaved and
popular, andhas many friends i'll Hen
dersOn who wish him well.

Gently returned from a trip to England.

to our columns and what he writes is al
ways read with interest. That his arti-

lessons as he may draw by way of COM

&c. will prove both interesting and in
structive we are quite certain.
AS will be seen by reference to adver-
tisement in another column, Mrs. j. A.
Stallings announces that she has rented
one of Mr. J. b. Ovens new residences.
opposite the Presbyterian church, and
desires to accommodate limited number
of boarders. The location is convenient
to the business part of the town and we
should say this would be a very desirable
place to board. AS competent and ex-
perienced housekeeper and a success
full caterer to boarders, Mrs. Stallings is
too well known to need any words OF
praise from us.

You are invited to take dinner with the
ladies of the Episcopal church at the
store room in the Davis building, two
doors below Dorsey's drug store, next
Wednesday. Besides getting a splendid
dinner for only 25 cents, it is worth more
than that to be waited on by the pretty
young ladies in charge. Bright eyes and
rosy cheeks, gracious smiles and winning
ways, comely feateres and graceful forms,
of modest mien and regal beauty, such
are the Henderson girls, and with their
snowy white aprons and dainty little
caps they form a bevy of maidenly beauty
around the tables, no less attractive Ito
some) than what they put on them. If
YOU are an admirer of the beautiful or a
lover of good eating, you will not fail to
get dinner with the ladies next Wednes-
day.
