Henderson Chapter, Royal Arch
NasOns,
Meets the second and fourth Tuesdays in
each month, at 10 a. m.
Umbrellas Jared badly Monday.
Many were turned inside out and COM
pIetcIy wrecked by the wind.
y few copies of the popular "Lotas
Waltz" by Mr.. John j. Long, can
be secured at Stephens's book store.
1t isn't much consolation to the
man who hasn't the money to buy
with to be told that great bargains
may be found in all the stores.
Tuesday was another sort of day
from Monday. The first was DARK
stormy and rainy; the latter bright,
calm and sunny until late in the day.
Awnings and broken window panes
suffered by the storm Monday, and
the man who was able to keep dry
even inside the house was lucky.
The Dallas Neus has not studied
the matter in vain when it says: Do
not put off upon others advice that you
are unable to keep for your own use.
1t is not considered proper to ask
whether a present is plated Or how
much it cost. The generous friend
who gave it to you has some rights
Exchange.
..Shoes" you will read about in
Thomason's new advertisement this
week and shoes you will see still more
conspicuously displayed if you will
call at his store.
One of the finest watermelons sold
here this season was bought last Fri
day by Mr.. J. r. Young. 1t was
grown by Mr. Dick Green near town,
and weighed SO pounds.
II. Thomson has just received a
complete line of new shoes direct from
the factory, and invites his friends to
call and see them. Prices are so low
that you have to stoop down to see
them.
The fall term of Henderson College,
Mrs. b. Il. Phillips, principal, will
begin next Monday. This is splen-
did school for young ladies and is
worthy of the patronage and moral
support of our people.
In the language of another, let US
all be careful to appreciate whatever
of good is done by our fellow beings,
and also strive to do good ourselves
according to our opportunities. For
therein is the secret of true happiness.
The country wants more Of the $ Cir
culating Medium it is true, but moi
of the kind suggested by an exchange
when it says if the stamp ofthe govern
ment could be put upon the common
neighborhood lie wouldn' t it be dandy
circulating medium?
The severe wind of Monday did
considerable damage to crops. Corn
was blown down and tobacco bruised
and beaten so as to materially lnlurt
it. In some places fodder was torn
into shreds. Cotton does not appear
to have suffered so much.
Complaining and fault finding only
tend to make matters worse. Croak
ing about the hard times never makes
money easier. 1t has the opposite
effect always. As an exchange aptl,
remarks, when the people decide tina
hard times are over that will go Ion:
way toward accomplishing the result
when the shadow of the sheriff
Falls athwart our Sanctum,
And when we feel as small boys do
After their ma has spanked EN-,
An old delinquent calleth
And leaveth us dollar,
We smile and write his name down
A gentleman and a scholar.
Exchange.
Some one has called this rich man
panic, and the upper tendoms do al
pear to be affected by the scarcity c
money somewhat like other folks. Th
dialy papers tell us George Gould say
it would be difficult for him to rails
s1O,OOO,000 in cash inside of fort
eight hours. Same here, George.
Congressman Clark, of Missouri
SAYS that what the people need is NJ
DIR. Harters's Iron Tonic, but ID
BANDS Silver Cordial; while an e
change ventures the assertion tn
what this country needs is law tn
will dem onetize brass. The Col
LEAF holds that. both points are VIZ
