The Vance Guards.

From the Charlotte Observer we
take the following notes about our
Henderson soldier boys. In making
up the roster of troops attending the
encampment last week it says:
Vance Guards, Company c., Third
Regiment-P. T. Jones, captain; J. H.
Goodrich, LIST lieutenant; J. D. Overton,
LIST sergeant; r. Z. Zemmer, End SER
geant; W. T. Cheatham, 3rd sergeant;
r. A. Whitfield, LIST corporal; G. A.
Barnes, End corporal; w. T. Written,
3rd corporal. Privates: Caps, Cheat
ham, Hinton, Moss, Nutall, Prize,
Swain, Steed, Sturgis, Thrower, White,
Wedding, Young, Collins, Smith,
Thomas, Major, Burroughs.
The Vance Guards, Capt. p. T.
Jones, have been company for five
years. It is one of the best and most
thorough in the State Guard. Capt.
Jones has been in command since
October, 1892, having succeeded Capt.
Perry, who was promoted to Major CT
the Third Regiment. There are Al
men in the company. Capt. Jones
says his men are having very enjoy
able time indeed and appreciate the
courtesy extended them by the city Of
Charlotte.
Capt. P. T. Jones, Company c.,
Third Regiment, was officer of the
day on the 10th.
The members of the encampment
have been lucky in having all the
smoking tobacco they could use ''set
| up'' to them. Every day Mr.. Ed. w.
Nutall, Of the Vance Guards, has dis
tributed the contents of a 75-pound box
of the Niche smoking tobacco, man
| ufactured in his town. The camp has
thoroughly appreciated this kindness.
Mr.. Nutall is manager of the packing
room of the company in Henderson
| which manufacturers the above brand
| of tobacco, and clever fellow he is.
The Observer of Saturday says:
The Vance Guards, Of Henderson,
| left last night. Capt. Jones said to an
Observer reporter: 81 want to ex-
press thanks to the kind people Of
Charlotte for the many courtesies they
have extended us. We will always
remember your hustling city with
pleasure. This is my first visit to
Charlotte and have come to the con-
clusion that it is the prettiest town in
the State.''
From the Charlotte Evening Ne,ps
we take the following notes:
Capt. Jones will succeed Capt. Irwin,
who has returned with his company to
Iseidsville, as acting Major of the End
battalion.
Capt. P. T. Jones, Company G.
Third Regiment, was extravagant in
his praise of Charlotte. He is in favor
of camping in this city annually. He
had fine company Of men, and men
we'll behaved too.
Referring to the Charlotte encamp-
ment, writer in the Raleigh Observe,
says: "The whole occasion has beer
a gratifying success and the troops
have been delighted with the camp
The entire expense of the camp, in.
Guiding all officers and men, has been
paid by the people Of Charlotte. Thu
exceeding liberality and hospitality Of
this charming city are without {
parallel.

Murder Will Out.

Six years ago in Robinson county,
Texas, an old man Of sixty years
named Wheels, shot and killed
neighbor of his. It is said the murder
was cold blooded and premeditated,
Wheels hiding in ambush and shooting
his victim as he approached. The
murderer fled and the authorities have
been trying to effect his capture ever
since. Recently he was located at
Aurora, near Washington, n. c., and
yesterday afternoon the Sheriff of
Robinson county passed through Hen
derson with the old man in custody,
taking him back to Texas to answer in
the courts Of the State before jury of
his peers to the charge of murder.
Wheels was not tied or handcutfed,
having given his word of honor to the
sheriff that he would give him no
trouble and cheerfully accompany him
back to Texas. He went originally
from Tennessee and has been in hiding
for six years.

SEAsONABLE THOUGHTS.
"Wooe6 by Autumn's Balmy
Breezes, the Summer Softly
Dies"


There's truth as we'll as poetry in
the above. The seasons are constantly
changing. The "last rose of summer"
will soon be gone, and the leaves,
Drowned and scared by the frosts of
autumn, will be falling to the ground.
The verdue that bedecks the magnifi-
cent landscape will soon be withered,
and
Meath the sleet and snow descending,
Massive pines and oaks be bending"
These thoughts remind us that g we
must change asall things change here. :"
The light summer apparel must give
place to heavier weight. We need
new and thicker clothing, boots and
shoes, oyercOats, underwear, sc.
In order to be prepared to meet the
demands of the times and the wants
of his customers, L. w. Barnes, of
the Barnes Clothing Store, leaves to-
day for the Northern markets to pur-
chase complete stock of new goods.
1t is his intention to buy extensively
and only the best values and as soon
as he gets his new goods in will be
prepared to show one of the largest
and best assortments of clothing, hats,
shoes, gents furnishing goods, trunks,
valises, umbrellas, &c. &C., in town.
Mr.. Barnes is an experienced mer-
chant. fine judge Of goods, a close
and careful buyer and will make these
qualifications serve him to good pur-
pose in the selection of his fall pur-
chases.

Death Of Mrs. G. w. Finch.
Another home in the country has
been made sad by the loss of a loved
one. Another devoted wife and loving
mother has folded the hands across the
quiet breast and passed from earthly
life to life eternal. At her home few
miles from Henderson, at a quarter
past one O'Clock last Sunday, Mrs.
Mary n. Finch, wife of Mr.. Charles
w. Finch, died after lingering ILL
ness. Deceased was a most excellent
young woman and her death has cast
a shadow of gloom over the commu-
nifty where she lived. A kind neigh
Dor, sympathetic friend and lovely
Christian character, Mrs. Finch was
loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. She was daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Hamilton Stewart, and had been
married about six years. She leaves a
husband and three children.
The funeral was held at home at 8
O'Clock Monday afternoon, Rev. Julian
E. Ingle conducting the services, Mrs.
Finch having for several years been a
communicate of the Episcopal church.
The interment was at the cemetery
here, the funeral procession being
one Of the largest ever witnessed in
Henderson. The exercises at the
grave were short and impressive. The
casket lowered, the new made mound
decked with flowers by loving hands,
and the last chapter in a beautiful, pa
tent, unselfish life was written.

A "Savings Bank" That Was
Not Safe.

Mr.. George Rem, a prosperous
farmer of Person county, did not keep
his cash in the bank, but kept it at
home, doubtless thinking it was safer
there. While Off at his church last
Saturday some thief pillaged his house
and 9 drew $500 of his hard earned
cash. Strange to say the thief was
generous enough to divide with Mr..
Rem, as only the paper money was
stolen. He had $500 in all, $500 of
it being in gold and silver, but the coin
was left unmolested. Moral-Don'L

Death Of Well Known Minister.

Rev. Charles NJ. Cook died at his
home in Edgecombe county last Satur-
day after having been paralyzed for
number Of years.
The deceased was for many years
a member of the North Carolina Con-
ference, Methodist Episcopal church,
South, and in this county he was well
known and highly esteemed by large
circle of friends. In 1877 Mr.. Cook
conducted the greatest revival ever
known in this section, the influence OF
which will live forever. Many OF the
best workers in the churches here
were converted at that meeting. He
was great sufferer the last few years
of his life, but when the Lord shall
come to make up his jewels, we trust
that he may have many seals to his
ministry and souls for his hire. His
memory will ever be cherished by the
people of Weldon. He was the father
of Hon. Charles Cook, of Warrenton,
and our sympathies are with the be-
reaved family.-Roanoke News.

Do You Know How to Get Rich?

That may sound like an unnecessary
question to ask any sensible man. Want
to get rich? Of course you do. And the
rich want to get richer. And especially
in these times of Financial stringency'
all of us want more money. Well, if you
want to get rich it does not depend on
your salary or your income. 1t makes
no difference how much money you
make; it depends entirely on how much
you save! There's the rub-HOW TO
SAVE! We are giving an object lesson
in that particular branch OF economy
just now. It's the difference in value and
the price-a simple example OF subtrac
tion-and the difference is in your favor.
It's waste of time to run about town
trying to find better goods and lower
prices than we are offering. So wasting
time you waste money. Ii you want

The interest that attached to the
building is related in the words of an
inscription that was placed upon the
cornerstone after the big fire. 1t was
MS follows:
This fireproof building was the only one in
the city that successfully stood the test of the
great fire of October 8 and o, 1877.
The building was not finished when
the fire occurred, though the walls were
plastered and the floors laid. The in
terror was full of lumber intended for
finishing purposes, and in some of the
rooms it was piled nearly to- the ceiling.
The structure was in the midst of the
burned district, and the test which it
withstood was exceptionally severe.
When the fire was over, it was the only
building that could be fixed up for oc-
cupancy, its walls and rooms being prac-
tically intact. Ten days after the fire it
was all ready for tenants. The tenants
were also ready for the building, and it
is said that business men used to follow
Mr.. Nixon around begging for Swear
leases at ~exorbitant rents.
The secret of the buildings noncom-
~bustibility lay in the fact that the iron
beams were heavily coated with plaster
of paris, which is practically a noncon-
ductor of heat. Mr.. Nixon, on the adj
vice of his architect, had insisted ON this
being done, though his contractors tried
TO make him believe it was useless. Mr..
Nixon had boosted that he was going to
erect a building that should last till the
crack of doom, and he watched the con-
tractors carefully to see that their neg
lect did not interfere with his plans. He
was well repaid for his watchfulness.
The building wa originally five stories
high and cost about $3.50, 900, but two
stories were added in 1886. 1t had mar
he w~ainscoting and floors in the halls
and iron stairways and was an archi-
t~ectUral wonder in its day. The first
story was Of limestone and the upper
part of Ohio sandstone. The founda-
lions were extra thick and well con-
