Fine Lecture.

Rev. Geo. W. Sanderlin's lecture at
the Baptist church Tuesday night was
splendid effort in every way-one
that reflected additional lustre upon the
eloquence and ability of that distin-
guished gentleman. He chose for his
theme ''Purposeful life-its inspiration
as revealed from touching Christ, and
its manifestation from touching hui
manity, and for an hour and four
minutes he commanded the strictest at
tention of his hearers. AS fitting the
time and place the lecture was religious
in sentiment and can not fail to be pro-
ductive of good. DR.. Sanderlin spoke
eloquently and feelingly and expressed
many beautiful thoughts which we
would like to dwell upon if space at
our command would permit. 1t was
an earnest an impassioned plea for
more Christ-like men and women-for
them to do the things they find to do in
the spirit of the Master-doing all the
good they can, in all the ways they can,
to all the people they can.

A woman can not only beat man

with hair pin than he can with all
the instruments in a surgeons office or
dentists Indeed, there is scarcely
anything a woman can not do wit b
hairpin, small and insignificant looking
though it is. For instance, she uses
it for shoe buttoner, a glove fastener.
to scratch her head with. to fasten up
her stray bangs, to pick her teeth, to
clean her finger nails, as an ear spoon,
to clean her husbands pipe, to punch
bed bugs out of cracks, to run into
cakes to see if they are done, and a
thousand and one other things poor
ignorant man knows nothing about.
Great is the ingenuity of woman.

Will Write up Henderson.

Mr.. Geo. Z. Hart, editor of North
Carolina "a new Industrial journal which
has just started at Durham, has been
here several days for the purpose of
writing up Henderson for his paper.
That he has been successful in his mis-
sion we are gratified to learn, and that
he will present the attractions and ad-
vantages of our town and community in
a manner creditable to us we are quite
sure. Mr.. Hart is clear and vigorous
writer, an industrious gatherer of news
and facts and we predict useful and
successful career for the very creditable
publication he is at the head of. Such
a journal intelligently conducted. as we
believe his will be, can be of great and
lasting benefit in more fully ad vertising
our State, its industries and resour ces,
abroad.

q Brilliant Success.

The concert at Burwell Hall Friday
night by the St. Cecilia Choral Society,
of Durham, under the auspices Of Miss
LESSEE NJ. Southgate, was an event of
rare merit and pleasure. An excellent
program had been arranged and every
number was admirably rendered. The
singing of Miss Southgate was
splendid treat, while her recitations
were greatly enjoyed, and showed her
to be an elocutionist of remarkable
powers. She possesses rich and highly
cultivated voice, and has an exceedingly
graceful and attractive stage manner,
which the audience showed their ap-
probation of by generous applause and
would not be satisfied until she re-
sponded a second time at each ap-
pearance. The choruses were grand
and inspiring. The duet ofMiss Lessie
Soutbgate and Mr.. James II. South
gate was enthusiastically applauded
and they had to respond to an en- core.
The recitation of Mr.. Walton NJ. Bus
bee was we'll done, while those of little
Miss Matte Faucette were also greatly
enjoyed by the audience. The piano
solos by Miss Annie Louise Watts and
Mr.. Vernon Darnall were gems Of
their kind. We have not heard them
surpassed on this stage by any pro-
fessional. Altogether it was a superb
affair-a pronounced success in every
way.
A large and cultivated audience at
tested their appreciation of Durham's
musical and dramatic talent by their
presence and the cordial and merited
applause given.

Our methods of doing bust
ness are different from those
in vogue elsewhere. We
guarantee every article we sell
to be exactly as we represent
it, and anything you buy from
us you can return if unsatisfac-
tory, and we will refund your
money in full. When we tell
you a garment is all wool, y
you can bet your last dollar it
is SO. We do not permit mis-
representation. When we say
thing is fast color" we
mean it, and you can get your
money back if it does not turn
out as we guarantee.
We believe it pays to be
honest, and our growing trade
shows how we live up to that
belief. We consider your in
terests before our own. We
want your trade in the future !;
we propose to continue in the
business and want you to stay

to be a monument to truth and
honest dealing through the

Col. Burgwyn's Lecture,

Col. Burgwyn's lecture at the Young
Mems Christian Association rooms
Monday night, was, as we anticipated
it would be, very fine production.
His subject, ''Are we patriots still?'
was discussed in an able and intelligent
manner, showing careful study and
deep thought on the part of the speaker.
Col. Burgwyn talked upon the tendency
of the times toward the amassing of
great wealth in the hands of the few,
the effects of trusts and combines, and
and the system under which they are
brought about. There was much food
for thought in Col, Burgwyn's remarks
and SO timely a paper ought to have
wider publicity than can be gained
by its delivery before a single audience.

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining Of the Eustachion
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed You
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF deafness (cauSed by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Halls

Concerning the Tobacco Market.
Mr.. a. Hatchett furnishes us the
following in regard to the tobacco
market:
For the past two months, large
proportion of the tobacco sold here has
come by rail. Receipts of this crop SO
far approximate 100000 pounds, with
small per centage of strictly fine.
Most of the crop is fair working stock.
Conservative estimates put the part of
crop still in farmers hands at 25 per
cent.
Prices have ranged pretty uniform,
with wrappers lower than for years,
and common filters and smokers COM
paratively high. But few strictly fine
cutters have been offered. This grade
has altered but little in price since De-
cember.
A portion of our buyers are holding
part Of their '89 crop purchases of
wrappers, with few filters.
Plants and preparations for planting
will be late by at least ten days with
most favorable conditions from now on.
The heavy rain of last Saturday de-
stroyed good many beds in this sec
| ton, in some instances washing all the
looses oil away. 1t is thought plants will
be large enough by the time the land
can be prepared. Receipts this week,
fair, with quotations fully sustained.
