condition for use, having come unglued
in some places, is still in good state
of preservation and little repair by
an expert would put it in first-class
order. With an age of 172 years to
its credit, coming as it originally did
from the hand of one of the most cele-
brated violin makers of his day, DR..
Lewis is quite proud of his possession.

Personal.
Rev. F. Nj. Johnson, who succeeds
Rev. T. J. Ogburn as pastor of the
Henderson Methodist Protestant
church, has arrived and entered upon
his duties. He preached very accep-
tably last Sunday morning and night
to interested congregations, and while
he is not altogether a stranger among
our people the impressions he has made
so far are favorable. Mr.. Johnson
comes from Westminster College,
Nd, where he has been a student for
some time, but is a North Carolinan
by birth and raising being native Of
Alamance county.
BY an arrangement entered into
between Mr.. Osburn and the congrega-
ton at the beginning Of the year it was
understood that he would resign about
the first Of June, he desiring to devote
his time to work in the evangelistic
field. believing this would better suit
his tastes and the state of his health.
Mr.. Johnson accepts a call from the
congregation to become their pastor
for the balance of the year, after which
time the matter of supplying this
charge will of course be in the hands
Of conference.

Our Schools.

Henderson has cause to feel proud
of her excellent schools. For young
ladies Henderson College. Mrs. B. B.
Phillips, principal, is an institution of
high grade in every way worthy of the
moral and financial support of our peo-
pie and the surrounding country. Gil
mer High School, Prof. John A. Gill
mer. principal, is all that could be de-
sired of its class. The discipline in both
these schools is good, the course of
instruction thorough, and the surround
ings and influences all that could be
required. We repeat, Henderson is
fortunate in having such fine schools
in her midst, conducted by such
capable and experienced instructors as
Mrs. Phillips and Prof. Gilmer and
their able corps of assistants.

Will not Lose the Breed.
Mr.. r. G. Sneed, of Townsville,
was in town this week, and in reply
to inquiries informed US that he has
not disposed Of his splendid pack Of
fox hounds as some of his sporting
friends apprehended. 1t is true that
he sold four old dogs and some puppies
to a gentleman in Macon, Ga, getting
$50 piece for the former and $50 for
the latter, or a340 for the lot, but he
has no idea Of getting rid of his stock
by selling out entirely as he has had
offers to do, since he has several
other dogs as good as those he sold,
and there are no finer ones of the
kind anywhere. Mr.. Sneed's pack has
long been noted for the best breed Of
fox hounds in the country and their
reputation has gone abroadas evidenced
by the fact that they are in demand
in Georgia, Tennessee and elsewhere.

SAD CASE OF NED CURTIS.
Ex-Marshal Franks Will Ask for
Letters of Guardianship.

Edward Curtis, who formerly was one of
Senator Stanford's con fiden tial agents, and
who went to Washington when Cleveland
first went into office to advise him about
California politics. is in very bad condi-
tion. physically and mentally.
About four weeks ago he was taken from
the Grand Hotel to st. Luke's Hospital
where he now is. AT first he improved,
but about two weeks ago began to change
for the worse. Since then he has con-
tinued to grow worse. and now lies speech
less in continual stupor. The physicians
in charge pronounce 1t hopeless case of
paresiS.
Ex-Marshal Christopher Franks is about
to ask the Superior Court for letters of
guardianship and authority to take charge
of the estate OF Mr. Curtis, who has no
relatives in this State so far as is known,
He had nephew here once. but at present
his address is unknown, although he is
believed to be in the East somewhere
Franks is an acquaintance of many years
OF Ned Curtis. The estate owned by the
invalid consists Of about $4,000 in real
estate in Fresno and other property in
Monterey. in all worth about $4,000. AS
some of it is improved and rents coming
in it is necessary that some one should be
appointed to look out for it.
The morning call., 1893-06-17

The gentlemen in charge emphasized the
command by roping off the space where
lunch was to be served. Then the band
played and the games began, which drew
away the guests to another part of the
grounds The preparations for the
luncheon proceeded merrily. Eight long
tables under shady trees were covered
with large sheets of white paper, and pies
and sandwiches were stacked upon them,
while the little rustic bridge was heaped
up with boxes of cake and dougbputs.
The fruit and the stacks of pies and the
icecream were placed close at hand for
serving.
The magic word Dinner" was an
nounced, and then the fun began. The
ladies and gentlemen in charge of the
lunch were startled by the shouts of joy
that came from the hundreds of hungry
boys that had been anxiously awaiting the
invitation. They were not common every
day shouts, but prolonged and loud
hurrah.
Down the hill in one mad rush came thu
vast army of happy boys, and in less time
thar it takes to tell 1t they were feasting
upon the good things prepared for them.
When boys go to picnic they get very
hungry, ard when boy gets hungry he
wants to eat without waiting for much
ceremony.
The ropes placed around the lunch tables
were like thread when the boys struck
them and were quickly upon the ground.

bridge. The guardian of the cakes for a
brief time endeavored to protect his treas
ure, but storm of doughnuts fire by the
youngsters with unerring aim soon drove
him from the scene.
Ihe dOughnuts were fine, but there were
too many of them for the boys. who had
filled themselves with pie and cake, and
the mischievous one found them very
handy for pelting each other and for a
little while there was a war of doughnuts
There was reserved fund of good
things and out of the store the lame and
the halt and the timid ones, who could not
hold their own In the mad scramble, were
rovided for. The restaurant was opened
and the picnickers were admitted in squads
of fifty. When once Inside the little fel-
lows were quiet and orderly, but those
who were outside were wild with i'm
patience and kept up a great noise with
their shouts. They were at last all fed
and those attending them were given a
breathing spell.
Later some of the youths of tender years
would be introduced with "poor little feI-
low! he has had nothing to eat" The
poor little fellow was always promptly
ministered to, but he was very seldom
found to be in a very famished condition.
Indeed, it was surprising how many poor
little fellows were hungry for icecream
alone.
Probably the boys would still have been
entering the restaurant by tittiee. not un-
mindful of the fact that it was their own
eccentric manner of attacking the first
lunch which forced them to enter in that
manner at all. But time was fyiup and the
rush of boys was subsiding, so the lunch
committee were released from their labors
by the necessity for returning TO the city.
ut was pity to see so much good food
wasted though" observed one Of the last
to leave the restaurant, gazing regretfuly
at the scattered remnants of the feast.
The following ladies of the lunch COM
mittee rendered knights service in organ
izing the arrangements and waiting on the
boys: Mrs. Florence Percy Matheson,
Mrs. Maude Peaslee. Mrs. Marion Foster,
Mrs. Lillian Plunkett, Mrs. Alice c. Water
