Mr.. L. A. Coulter, State Secretary
Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
cistions, has been in town this week
in the interest of the work here. Sun
| day afternoon he conducted Young
Mems meeting and like all his efforts
| added interest and strength to the cause.
Mr.. Willie Mitchell, capable and
obliging young drug clerk who has
many friends in Henderson, has taken
a position at Dorseys drug store. The
ever inc. casing business Of this popular
and reliable druggist makes it necessary
for him to keep five or six men contin-
ually employed.
Those who saw Mr.. Bennett Mat
lack as :'Ingomar" some time ago.
will be prepared for the splendid pre-

He is a very capable actor and is sup

The family of Mr.. J. Colin Neal, the
widely known auctioneer who recent
ly went from Henderson to accept a
position with the Davis & Gregory
Company, proprictors of the Planters
Warehouse, Richmond, left last week
to make their home in that city. They
have many friends acre who regretted
their departure.
Mr.. Augustus Bradley, who has for
some time been with w. T. Chea than,
j., druggist, in this place, left yester-
day for Tarboro, his former home,
where he will engage in business here
after. He is a first-class pharmacist,
obliging and popular and has many
friends in Henderson who regret his
departure from among us.
Mrs. c.. A. Switzerland, and her
attractive and much admired daughter
Mis- Lottie, left Tuesday for Winston,
which place they will make their home.
They have many warm friends and
we'll wshers in Henderson who lament
their leaving. But our loss is Winston's
gain. While we regret to lose these
excellent ladies even for short time
it is comforting to know that we will
oct at least one Of them back again
after while.
Mr.. r. C. Hoffman of Baltimore,
Vice President of the Seaboard Air
Line system. accompanied by his friend

special car to take a few days bird
hunt with Mr.. D. y. Cooper. Mr..
Cooper and his friends left over the
Durham & Northern road on the 2:20
train for q big hunt along that line.
Their car will be side tracked at Creed
more or Benehan and the gentlemen
will branch out to try their luck in the
fields.
We rejoice with our friends of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and the
people of Henderson generally without
regard to UNCONVENTIONAL lines, upon
the return of Rev. w. L. Cunningham
to the pastorate Of that church. He
has served his congregation most ac-
ceptably during his first year and it
was but the natural outgrowth of a
unanimous sentiment that they should
have desired and sought his return.
While no stranger among us we feel
like extending new and cordial well
come to Rev. ". L. Cunlnggim.
r. S. Watkins, a successful tobacco
grower, sold part of his crop at Cooper's
warehouse this week, getting prices
