Heavy Shipments of Tobacco.

business has been booming in to-
bacco circles lately. especially among
the leaf dealers. The favorable sea-
son handling the leaf was fully taken
advantage of and hundreds Of thous-
ands of pounds were priced up. An
idea of the activity i'll this line may be
gained when we say that 50 car loads
Of tobacco and 3 hogsheads over were
shipped from Henderson last week
a car holds on an average Of IA to Is
hogsheads, and putting it AZ, and
counting the , extra ones, we have
the nice little pile of S5S packages
shipped from this market in one week
Still, an addition to the storage ware
house 30Xl50 feet. is made necessary
in order to accommodate our other
dealers who are not buying strictly on
order. as most of this tobacco was. The
Henderson market is not only holding
its own against all competitors. but
is gaining strength and increasing its
trade with each recurring season.

Fell in a w ell.

Miss Anna Perry. aged about IS
years, who lives with Mr.. John NJ.
Edwards i'll the Bearpoud neighbour
hood. was the victim of an accident
last Thursday that has few parallels.
While drawing water, with her hands
resting on the windlass to allow the
bucket to descend slowly, she lost her
footing and fell head foremost to the
bottom 30 feet below. No one saw
her and without assistance she man
aged to get out again. The well was
walled up with rough edged rocks and
by means of her hands and feet finding
4 hold and resting place on these she
climbed back to the top. She was con-
siderably scratched and bruised about
the face and shoulders but not seriously
hurt. We suppose few men would
have acted more heroIcally under the
same circumstances.

The Feast Of the Passover.

Monday evening. at shutdown. which
corresponds with the evening of the
fourteenth day Of the month Nissan
in the Hebraic calendar. the Hebrews
throughout the world commenced the
celebration of the feast of Pesach
or the Passover.
The celebration of this festival,
which was ordained to commemorate
the deliverance of the children ofIsrael
from Egyptian bondage. which they
had endured for over 400 years, and
their departure from the land in viii CHI
they hadbeen enslaved under the leader
ship Of Moses, their emancipation. is
continued for seven days. This was
one of the three great festivals on
which. when the Israelits inhabited
Palestine, it was incumbent upon the
heads Of the households to journey to
Jerusalem and take part in the cele-
bration at the Temple.
The chief characteristic of this
festival is the eating of motzeth. or
unlcavened cakes. and the exclusion of
bread and other ieavened food from
the households Of the orthodox during
the continuance Of the celebration Ga
the first night Of the festival there is
a peculiar service called the Sedar in
tended for the houses Of the faithful.
The head Of the family gathers all the
members Of the household about the
table. and before beginning the evening
meaI reads the EIagada. which contains
Il recital OF the Hebrew emancipation
from Egyptian slavery.
This as all others of their feast days
is strictly observed by orthodox He
hrevs. no people holding the tenets Of
their faith more sacredly or cherishing
the time-honored forms and customs Of
their torefathers with greater fidelity
than they.

Rev. r. VanDeventer's Lecture

The address of Rev. Robert VanDe-
venter at the Y. NJ. c. \. rooms last
Friday night, was an earnest and for
ceble argument such as his friends eX-
pected. 1t has been known all along
that Mr.. NanDeventer is not in SYM
pathy with this branch of Christian
endeavor. and he is conscientiously so.
BY special request he spoke on The
Relation OF the Association to the
Church" hi. subject being chosen for
him, and he argued his side of the
question in Vi gorous. Straightforward
manly way, showing that he had given
it much careful thought and study.
Mr.. \anDeventer takes the ground
that as an evangelizing agency the
Young Mems Christian Association is
a failure. and that it takes from the
church its best workers and gives no
adequate return therefor. He quoted
from Association reports and letters
OF prominent ministers in other cities
to sustain his position. and made out
as strong a case as it was possible for
any one arguing from his standpoint to
make. We will not attempt to follow
the speaker all through his address,
but whatever views Mr.. NanDeyen-
ter holds on this matter he must be
given credit for honesty of opinion and
sincerity OF purpose, and We are sure
all who heard him Friday night will SO
agree.

Death of Mr.. Job Pierce.

Mr.. Job Pierce, for many years a
we'll known citizen of Henderson, died
at the home of his son in Warrenton at
2:30 O'Clock Saturday afternoon. He
had been in feeble health for some
time and during the past few months
had failed rapidly. Becoming unable
to longer attend to business and care
for himself it was only the Saturday
before that he bade his friends farewell
and went to live with his oldest son.
He had been troubled with compli-
cation of diseases and but a short while
before he died his physician discovered
that both lungs were almost entirely
destroyed. Deceased was a native of
Plymouth, y. c.. and came to Hen
dersan about fifteen or eighteen years
ago. since which time he had made
this his home. with the exception Of a
short while few years ago when he
moved to Reidsville. Not being salts
fed. however. he came back here and
again made Henderson his place of
residence. There was no more ia
miliar figure on our streets than :. Tn
Gle Job Pierce. as he was usually
called, and he will be missed by many.
He was an honest man and was es-
teemed by all who knew him. The
remains were brought to Henderson
and inferred in the cemetery here
The funeral was held from the Baptist
church, OF which deceased was a mem

Next morning the ground was crusted

it was cold and calm and there was

are that the early fruit is killed. This
embraces peaches, pears, plums. &C..
