Smoke---A Word to "a Citizen
Of Henderson,"
Communicated, |

Some things totally different in nature,
are, because of their similarity in ap-
pearance, very difficult to distinguish.
Botanists tell us that the only difference
between a harmless and a poisonous
wild flower is that the former has cylax
which the superficial observer would be
apt to overlook. We know smoke to
be the carbonaceous matter emitted
from substances undergoing combustion,
while miasmatic vapor is exhaled from
water containing, and often concealing,
decayed and poisonous matter; yet the
two are very much alike in appearance.
"a Citizen of Henderson" says he has
"never known but very few cases of
SANDER" May l be pardoned if 1 ask
him whether he, when speaking of fire
being the ecessarycOncOmitant OF smoke,
has Disseminated between smoke So
called and real smoke? If he has not,
is not belief in the proverb, "where
there is smoke there must be fire." all
antidote to belief in SANDER? Is it safe
to catalogue as smoke every idle rumor?
Avon's illustrious bard says:
8. Be thou as cbaste as ice, as pure as snow,
Thou shalt not escape calumny."
The accusation against the faultless
Hermione was not all the baseless fabric
of the poets vision, but embodied the ex-
perience OF that greatest student of human
nature. Again he says:
"Back wounding calumny
The whitest virtue strikes
+ Unhappily, all the lagos are not yet
vanished off the face OF this planet.
When Joseph languished in prison,
| charged with the most dastardly OF
crimes, there was, l suppose, not one
who believed in his innocence. Had the
Egyptians been possessed of our boosted
civilization, he would, in all probability,
have been lynched. If ga Citizen of Hen
derson" had been there he would doubt
less have entrenched himself behind his
favorite proverb and have extracted
much comfort from the reflection that
SANDER is a rare bird. But the sacred
historian tells us that the cloud which
enveloped the Hebrew youth was not
smoke from unholy fire in his own
bosom but noxious, deadly vapor that
| emanated from the horrible corruption
in the heart of Potiphar's wife.
FellOwmen and women, let us do all
in our power to preserve the peace and
! purity of society, but in the name Of
| that charity which thinketh no evil
| let us not be in such eager haste to cry
"smOke." CHARITY.

Burglary Tuesday Night.

Tuesday night burglars made raid
on the hardware establishment of Mr..
J. H. Daniel, and stole therefrom
small amount Of money and many
valuable articles. The entrance was
effected through a window at the rear
of the building. The plan for the rob-
berry seemed to be we'll conceived,
showing that the parties must have
been familiar with the surroundings.
A large pine pole taken from the shop
yard of Messrs. Crow & MarstOn was
used to prize one of the iron rods
which are fastened in the framing as
protection to the windows, from
position, which was bent in such a
manner as to make the entrance clear.
The glass was broken and partially
removed, being large enough to admit
the body of a small boy. The exit,
after the robbery, was made through
the rear door which was securely
locked, barred and propped when the
place was closed. This was found
a;ar when the store was opened yester-
morning. After an investigation Of
his stock Mr.. Daniel thinks his loss is
about 5000. The sum of 1895, the
contents of the cash drawer, was taken,
and the goods missing consist of pistols,
razors, pocket knives and other small
articles. Some fine silver ware, knives,
forks. spoons, &C., in a case from
which other goods were taken was left
untouched. The loss is quite heavy
on Mr.. Daniel and it is hoped the
thieves may be found and brought to
speedy justice.

Fine Turtle Scum.

MIR. Geo. L. Adams, of the Gem.
accompanied by Chief of Police R. ].
Switzerland, went fishing for turtle
few days ago and made successful
catch of thirteen. On Saturday night.
24th ult., Mr.. Adams treated his numer-
GUS friends to delicious soup, for which
he is famous. But not content with
that and many other similar occasions.
he delighted them again Saturday
evening with summons to appear
at his place to sample the product of
so pound sea turtle sent him from
Morehead by Mr.. A. Hatchett. Those
who have ever tried plate of turtle
soup at Adams & Hirris's made bv
George Littlejohn, know what to ex-
pect and are always ready to respond
to another invitation. Each time the
last seems best, and the ''set up'' Satur-
day evening was said by those present
to be no exception.

The Home Newspaper.

y newspaper is the greatest help to
the growth of a town that can be. 1t
is standing advertisement which al
ways attracts. 1t gives more free putts
and explanations Of the place than all
others. 1t never lets pass a good OPP
portunity to advocate the interests OF
its home enterprises. 1t helps all the
churches and never fails to speak out
for its schools; itresentS all destinations
against tie character of the citizens
and industries of the town; it lives but
to benefit the community. To repay
its untiring efforts it asks the support
of the people, not in begging man
ner, but as recompense for its labor.
1t is entitled to a livelihood because
it gives more than it takes. 1t only
asks for its rights, and these it should
have.-Carbondal Penn.) Leader.

Does this Strike You?

Some people in this world remind us
of story we have seen in print. Sever
al persons were passing muddy place
around which were gathered a number
of ragged and wretched urchins, and
these little scamps began to throw
mud at them. One gentleman said,
eff you don't stop I will throw it back
at you,'' when the sorriest looking
one of the little fellows replied, ''you
can't do it without dirtying your hands,
and it doesn't hurt US any way This
is the way with those creat:."es who
delight in talking about tho: neigh
bors and circulating falsehoods and
scandals. They have no character
themselves and consequently no repu-
tation to lose by such disreputable
practice. Persons who knowingly,
willfully and maliciously lie to injure
others are utterly devoid Of the first
principles Of decency and respecta-
bility. You, who perhaps for the sake
of politeness, have been lending an un-
willing ear to these fair talking, oily
tongued scandal manufacturers and
tale bearers know who they are.

hING w OOD, N. u, July Il, 20.
Weather has been cool for cotton
and lice and rust give it bad appear
ance, but hot sunshine can do wonders
for the plant in a short while. Other
crops are fine and promise fine results
in the fall. There is much fruit of all
kinds and we all have come to be
grateful for what nature is doing for
us this year and take courage and 90
forward with manly hearts trusting in
that Providence that smiles so benef-
Gently upon us.
[ was fortunate enough to dine with
our good friend Rev. A. G.. Wilcox and
family on Thursday last and had most
superb repast which his excellent wife
is par excellence in preparing at all
times. His mother, now IS years of
age, is a most interesting conversa-
tionalist and is superior woman in all
respects. She has some quilts, coun-
terpanes and other needle work she
has just completed that are far ahead
of anything I've ever seen in this line
and this done by an old lady IS years
of age, and without using glasses. She
is a good woman and a kind Proyi-
dence has directed her ways in pleas
ant places in her old age as she is so
happily situated and surrounded with
the love and care of Christian son
and his kind and lovable wife and chill
dren. May her end be pleasant and
peaceful.

houses, daily mails, telegraph, and
railroad lines with good water and
pure air; in fact, every surrounding
conducible to health and comfort; and
without a word of Encouragement to
our other schools 1 can say from ex-
perience that any young man wishing
an education in the literary or business
department can do no better than to
write to Prof J. A. w. Thompson for
Thompson's Business College Journal,
which truthfully shows forth some Of
the advantages of this growing institu-
ton of learning. A military depart
ment is one of the features also.

Y. M. G. A. Notes.

This institution is now on the high
road of prosperity. The rooms present
most inviting appearance, cool, and
attractive. The reading matter is
choice, clean, and elevating in char
acter; the London Illustrated Ne,cs
has just been ordered and will come
regularly to the rooms. The next i'm
provement to be added, through the
untlring energy of our estimable Secre-
tary, is the new baths. The scheme
as presented by Mr.. Rossiter. has met
with general favor among the people
and sufficient money has already been
pledged to justify the directors in COM
mencing the work. They will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible, and the Secretary assures US
that the Association will soon present
US with three beautiful baths complete
i'll every department.. He believes
that they will be a means of attracting
gentlemen to the rooms who hitherto
have seldom frequented the place, and
designs that they shall be means to
that end. With these improvements,
the 7. NJ. G. A. of Henderson will be
a most attractive centre for our young
men, and with the strong religious
character of the Secretary, and the
gentlemen associated with him, the
Association will do great good, and
should be literally supported by our
people.

What Will it Profit Us d?

After all, what does this rush for
wealth and the boarding of the same
amount to: 1--WE brought nothing into
this world. and it is certain we can
carry nothing out" 1t is well to "put
money in thy purse" and i'll the bank.
1t is not money but the love of money,
which is the root of all evil. 1t is this
love for it that becomes moral leech,
sucking every drop of kindness, charity
and joy out Of human hearts. Don't
let the chattering of golden eagles
deafen your ears to your surroundings.
Don't look at every act to see if its re-
suits will be wreathed with bright
shining dollars, like a garland of pam
sizes. Have soul. Don't masquerade
your miserable money-grasping body
in a meaningless so called soul, which
is so small and mummyfied that it
couldn't be seen with the most power
full magnifying glass ever constructed
by the hands of man.
