A Short Story of Two Small Boys who
Did Not Like to Do Sums.
II don't like sums" said George.
Neither do H. said Fred II can't do
them"
"And won't do them" said George.
And he threw his slate on the ground and
put his foot upon it.
''But if we don't do thsm," said Fred.
I'VE shan't get out into the playground"
And Fred, who had his slate rubbing
against his jacket, looked down at it. "Oh,
have rubbed some of it out" said he.
Never mind" said George. you can't
do it,"
II might try" said Fred. II do want to
go out in the playground. Hark, can't

tried to make the figures that were half
rubbed out clearer. At last he managed

IT PAYS

To be cautious in the choice of medi-
cines. Many are injured by trying ex-
periments with compounds purporting
to be blood purifiers, the principal
recommendation of which would seem
to be their "cheapness." Being made
up OF worthless, though not always
harmless, ingredients, they may well
be cheap" but, in the end, they are
dear. The most reliable medicines are
costly, and can be retailed at mod
crate prices, only when the manufacture
ing chemist handles the raw materials
in large quantities. 1t is economy,
therefore,

THE VOTE IN THIS STATE.
The latest from 297 precincts in this
state gives the following vote:

The precincts yet to hear from are
mostly outlying precincts and may
reasonably be expected to increase
Snively's plurality.
LATER-Wyoming has been added to
the Democratic column. 1t is conceded
that the Democrats will have both houses
of congress. Ninety-seven precincts in
King county, this state, give McGraw
6714; Snively, 1888. Seventy-five out Of
eighty-three precincts in Pierce county
give McGraw 1887; Snively, 1862.

to put them in right. "See, George" said
he, II have got the figures right and now
l shall try to add them up You had bet
ter try, too, and then we shall get out"
"Well," said Gesrge, perhaps I may as
we'll try, too, but l am afraid have rubbed
mine all out with my foot"
But it happened that Georges slate had
got the side with the sum on next the floor
so that it was not rubbed out bit.
'Hurrah." said Fred, "now I am sure
you can do it," So George took out his
pencil as Fred had done and they both sat
quite still for some little time, adding up
the figures very carefully.
Mines DONE" said Fred
$50 is mine," said George.
Then they knocked at the door Of the
teachers room and showed him their
states. He'told them the sums were right,
and both boys were soon out Of doors.
Next time" said George, I'VE will not
lose half an hour in the playground by not
trying to do our sums"

What the Grass Does.
The grass 80 little has to do,
A spear of simple green,
With only butterflies to brood
And bees to entertain,
And stir all day to pretty tunes
The breezes fetch along,
And hold the sunshine In its lap
And bow to everything,
And thread the dews all night like
pearls,
And make itself SO fine
A duchess were too common
For such q noticing;
And even when 1t dies, to pass
In 0dors SO divine
As lovely spices gone to sleep,
Or amulets of pine,
And then to dwell in sovereign barns,
And dream the, day away
The grass so little has to do
I wish were the hay.

Death Of Mr.. r. w. Harris.

Again we have to chronicle the
death of one of Henderson old and we'll
known citizens. Mr.. Richard W. Har-
ris died on board the cars when within
about one hours ride Of Charleston, S.
c., at O'Clock Saturday morning. He
had been in feeble health for weeks
and thinking the climate of Florida
would prove beneficial to him, left in
company with his nephew Mr.. Geo. B.
Harrison the l O'Clock train Friday
for Ocala, Florida, and was en- route
when death came to him. Some time
after leaving Weldon it was noticed
that he appeared to be weaker but he
reused up later and seemed to be rest
ing comfortably only a short while be-
fore he died. He was occupying a
berth in the sleeper at the time and
the only intimation his companion who
was by his side had of his sinking con-
dition was his hard breathing just a
few minutes before he expired. Death
came suddenly and he passed quietly
away without a struggle. At Charles
ton the remains were placed in a hand
some casket and brought back to Hen
dersOn.
Mr.. Harris was a native of Granville
county, and was about - years old .
He was man of Industrious and fru-
gal habits and during his busy life had
amassed large property. He was a
self-educated man but his intellectual
attachments were of high order. He
was well read and extensively inform
ed and was a forcible and pleasing
| writer as his many newspaper articles
have shown. His acquaintance with
the character and history of prominent
men of both ancient and modern times
| was familiar and accurate and his wri-
tings upon such topics were always en-
| tertaining and instructive. Mr.. Har-
ris was frequent contributor to this
| paper and perhaps took livelier in
| terest in our work and sought to aid
us by his pen in making it vehicle of
greater diversity of thought and infor-
nation than any other person in the
community. We valued hi. friendship
and esteemed him for bis high charac-
ter, firm integrity and sturdy manhood.
Mr.. Harris was never married and
|
years ago had made his home with Mr..
George B. Harris. He was we'll known
throughout Granville and Vance coun-
ties and had a wide family connection
He was an uncle of Messrs. George B.
and Samuel Il. Harris. of the ware
house firm of Harris. Gooch & Co.,
and of DR.. F. r Harris and Mayor A.
J. Harris, all Of Henderson.
| The funeral was held from the Meth,
odist Protestant church, of which de-
nomination deceased had for many years
been a member, at O'Clock Sunday
afternoon, Rev. T. J. Ogburn con-
Quoting the services. The church was
crowded and the funeral cortege was
one of tho largest ever seen in Hen
derson. The remains were inferred il

The Peoples Party.

For some time it has been under
stood that there was a determination
on the part of few men in the county
to effect an organization Of what they
style the Peoples Party. Pursuant to
call a general mass meeting was held
in the court house here SATURDAY. with
this object in view. At the appointed
hour an organization was effected by the
election of s. G. Satterwhite as chair
man and E. Thorne secretary. Speech
es were made probably by half dozen
persons, both white and colored, that
of Mr.. Zach T. Garrett being pro-
nouncei the best delivered. 4 county
executive committee was appointed as
follows:
Sandy Creeks. G. Satterwhite.
Lewis Hawkins, colored.
Henderson-George F. Workman.
Jos. H. Edwards, Geo. W. Wright, J.
L. Cheatham, colored.
Kittrell-D. II. Gill, Jack Floyd,
colOred.
Middleburg-J. T. Cawthorn, J. W.
Plummer, colored.
WILLIAMSBURG and Townsville not
being represented no appointments
were made this being left to them.
We do not know the previous polt-
ical complexion Of all the committee
but the DETECTION is from both the old
parties. The leaders of the movement
are prominent Alliancemen.
Not understanding the nature of the
meeting Saturday, and thinking it was
to be secret session of the Alliance.
the writer was not present and can
not speak from his own knowledge of
the spirit and temper of the speeches
made.

As springs sunbeam into the heart Of

Into my arms, and murmured audibly,

Only the spirit now disenrObed OF flesh
And beaming with the likeness of her

She was the dewy morning star Of summer
days;
The little eve lamb nesting by our side;
The dove whose cooling echoed in our
hearts;
One of the sweetest chords upon our harp
of praise;
Alas, clouds gathered quickly, and the
storm
Fell without warning upon our tender bud
Scattering its leaflets, and the star was
drenched
In tears, the lamp burnt dimly, unawares
The little lamb was faint, the weary dove
Covered its young head beneath its wing;
And in our souls we heard our Father say
ing,
will ye return the gift?' The voice was
low
The answer lower still-'Thy will be
done
And now saw her one Of the beatifed,
Our blossom, ours forever now;
The star that set upon our earthly home
Had risen in glory and in purer skies
Was shining. and the lamp we sOrely missed
Shed its soft radiance in better home;
Our lamb was pasturng in heavenly meads;
Our dove had settled on the Trees of Life,
Our treasure was with God"
