A medical student of bennington,
Ont, very cleverly struggled human
skeleton across the Detroit river into
Canada few days ago. He padded the
skeleton, dressed it in woman's clothes,
with stylish hat and q deep blue veil,
and, propping it up in his buggy beside
him, drove on to the ferryboat and
crossed to Windsor. The disguise was
so clever that the customs officers did
not give him q second glance, and the
young man Rugged himself for his clev-
erness and forthwith told his friends.
Then his better informed friends told
him thnt Canada does not impose a tax
on articulated skeletons, and they IRE
still smiling ut his smartness and at his
pccuniary cSpCn se.

Rev. Alexander Sprunt.

His many friends in Henderson are
interested in whatever concerns Rev.
AK. Sprunt, former pastor of the
Presbyterian church here, and so we
renrint the following item from the
Charlotte NerS of Saturday:
Rev. Alex. Sprunt passed through
the city yesterday on his return to
Iock Hill. Mr.. Sprunt will. this morn
in formally accept the call to the
"a torate of the Presbyterian church
of Rock Hill, and will enter upon his
duties there at once, his family NOV
ing there this week. All who know
of Mr.. Sprunt OF his work, congratu-
late the church at Rock Hill upon its
choice of pastor. He is regarded as
one of the leading young divines of the
State. combining all those qualities
c.. entail to success as pastor. Every
charge that Mr.. Sprunt has served. has
given him up with regret. But lately
he has had calls to large and intluen-
la, churches in st. Louis and Mem
phis, but he preferred to remain in or
near his native State, and accepted a
fattering call from the church at Rock
Hill.

Third Party-Repulican Speaking.

Tuesday was the day appointed for
speaking here by w. F. Stroud and
A. c. Green, Third party candidates
for Congress and Elector from this
district respectively. Owing to sick
ness Mr.. Stroud could not be here.
Mr. Green spoke to large crowd and
ELECTED much enthusiasm. }. {. L..
Harris, the Republican editor Of the
Raleigh Signal, who is doing all he
can to fuse with the Third party people
in order to defeat the Democrats, was
here by invitation and made one Of his
characteristic speeches. He was zeal
Gus in his advocacy Of this pet scheme
of his. not that he loves the Republican
party less but hates the Democrats
more. He was forced to admit that
he would vote for Harrison and not
Weaver, in whose behalf he pretended
to labor, and his manner and utter
ances were such as to leave no doubt
OF his real purpose. 1t is to defeat
Carr and give the Electoral vote of the
State to Harrison. He made no prog
ress in this direction but greatly
strengthened the cause Of the Democ-
racy. Harris speech was BOOM
erang and made confusion worse con-
founded for the Third partyites. 1t
would have been better for their cause
if he had stayed at home. He advised
jim Watson, Republican candidate fol
the Legislature, to follow the example
Of others and withdraw in favor of the
Third party man, but Watson told him
plainly that he would not do any such
thing. Watson knows the contest is
between him and the Democratic candi
date and so confident is he of election
that he does not propose to withdraw
at the dictation of any party boss. He
sees in this another scheme to /" down
the nigger'' Of which purpose J. c. L.
Harris has shown all along he was the
high priest and apostle. But Jim pro
poses only to be" downed'' at the polls
if he is downed at all. In his paper
Loge Harris has urged Tom Eaton the
(colored) Republican candidate fol
Register Of Deeds to step aside also il
favor of the Third party nominee, bu
his appeals have fallen upon deaf ears
and will 60 unheeded. If he has adj
vised any white Republican in the
county to withdraw in favor of any
one we have not heard of it,

Pleasant Social Event.

One of the most enjoyable social events
OF the season was the reception given by
Mr.. and Mrs. s. b. Belts at their pleasant
home corner of Garrett street and Bell
avenue, October oath, complimentary
to the Misses Freedom and their charm
ing guests Miss Ella Ogburn and brother
$. &. Ogburn, of Winston.
The guests were conducted by ushers
to the reception room where they were
received and welcomed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Belts, who preceded them to the spacious
parlOrs, filled with the perfume of floral
decorations where Miss Maggie Freeborn
and Mr.. Ogburn received. assisted by
Miss Ella Ogburn and Miss Emma Free
born in their usual pleasant and happy
style. And the young people were chat
ting pleasantly only a few moments when
the music began and needless to say the
floor was soon filled with merry maidens
and their beaux enjoying the May dance,
while Others still continued their first
began conversations and pleasant games
But decidedly the most interesting
feature of the evening was the Gypsy
fortune teller in her sanctum of red cloth
and mistletoe and Judging from the ap-
pearance of her patrons after paying
her a visit all were delighted with their
destiny. At half past eleven supper was
announced by the host and hostess after
which the couples filed into the dining
room in the following manner:
Miss Ella Ogburn and Joe Hart,
Miss Annie Manning and S. C. Og-
burn, Miss May Francis and Tom Haw-
kins, Miss Edna O'Neil and W. F. Black
ley, Miss Lizzie Lewis and |. J. Young,
Miss Emma Freeborn and W. W. Young,
Miss Mary Hood and j. D. Garden, Miss
Gertrude O'Neil and J. E. Young, Miss
Daisy Stephens and r. J. Corbett, Miss
Maggie Freeborn and Y E. Massenburg,
Charles Aston.
Thesupper was an excellent one such
as the hostess is capable of preparing,
which everybody did justice to, and en-
ioyed immensely while the floral decora-
tons of mistletoe and chrysanthemums,
could not be surpassed in beauty and
effect. Supper finished after returning
to the parlor and enjoying some excel
lent instrumental music we discovered
that the wee small hours had arrived
and to our sincere regret had to bid each
and every one adieu, all expressing them
selves that the evening already spent, was
one long to be remembered among the
most pealsant ones of their lives.

Death Of Mrs. r. e. Young.

DSdUu vi NlIS. II. u. Dung.
Our community was shocked and
panied yesterday to learn Of the death
Of Mrs. Pattie F. Young, widow Of the
late r. E. Young, Esq, which occurred
at 5 O'Clock Wednesday morning. She
had been in delicate health and was
a great sufferer for years, and the death
of Mr.. Young last spring was a severe
shock that only intensified her suffering
and failing strength. Mrs. Young was
the daughter of the late Mr.. William
A. Harris, Of Henderson, and was a
woman Of lovely character, sweet, gen
tie and sympathetic, and was greatly
loved by a wide circle of admrinS
friends and acquaintance. She was
Il devout and sincere Christian, a
member Of the Presbyterian church,
and had often been heard to express
her readiness to meet death and be
with loved ones who had preceded her
to that blessed estate beyond this life
which is promised by the Savior to
those who love Him and do His will.
The funeral will be held from the
Presbyterian church at 400 O'Clock
this afternoon

Weldon Fair Notes.

All Indications point to a successful
fair next week The Society has never
had failure during the twenty-five
years of its existence, and this year
both the exhibition and the crowd will
be equal to those at any preceding fair.
Everybody in this section should feel
an interest in the fair and aid in max
it success. 1t is an institution OF
Eastern Carolina which ought to be
successfully perpetuated. 1t brings
this whole section into prominence and
in various ways helps it. Besides this
the fair is an occasion OF recreation
after the work of the year has about
closed, and visit of a day or two after
strain Of planting, cultivating and
gathering crops and after the tension
of an important campaign, and ought
to be taken advantage of for little
recreation.
There will be something on the
grounds to interest all, OF whatever
age, taste or condition. There can be
found old friends, there new friends
can be made, there can be seen the
various conditions of life and phases Of
human nature and there can be found
always something to driye away dull
care and give rest to the overWorked
and tired body and mind.
Eight fine race horses from South
Carolina and other places were sent out
to the grounds On Tuesday. The rae
inc will be tine.-Weldon Neps.
