Remembering Kindness.

In time of need and distress, when
help, deliverance or favor comes to US,
our hearts are very warm with CRATE
full feeling.
I'VE will never forget this kind
ness we say. But do we never for
get it: We remember injuries done
to us. We all know how hard it is to
forget wrong that another has in
tlicted upon us. Sometimes we say,
with martyr like air, II forgive him,
but | never can forget the injuries. "
Sights and cutting words and unklnd-
nesses and neglects-how we'll we re-
member these. But have we as good
memories for favors, kindnesses, bless
ings? Ought VIC not to have: Shall
we not train ourselves rather to forget
the hurts we receive. and to remember
with faithful gratitude every smallest
kindness done to us?

Dog in a Well.

A fine setter belonging to Mr.. Joe
Overton found his way into the we'll
of Col. w. II. Hood last Saturday
night in a rather peculiar manner. The
we'll is located very near the palings,
and the curbing stands about the same
height. About half past l O'Clock the
dog in attempting to get into the yard
jumped on the fence then on the we'll
curb, and fell in, but remained on the
surface and kept up continuous bark
ing all night. Col. Hood went out
several times during the night to speak
to the distressed canine, but being
afraid to risk his drawing apparatus
could not rescue him until daylight,
when he sent for well digger and had
him brought up and fed. 1t is said
that the animal seemed very grateful
for what had been done. He had
propped himself in such position that
his head and shoulders were dry when
he was taken out.

On His Trail,

The negro who broke into the hard
ware store of Daniel & Co. here on
the night of July 4th, an account of
which was given in these columns last
week, was seen in Chase City, Va,
soon after the burglary. Policeman
Almond, of that place, attempted to
arrest him, but the negro fired two
shots at the officer, one of which took
effect in his shoulder, and fled. The
thief dropped a valise containing some
of the stolen goods, revolvers, knives,
razors, &C., which will be returned to
Mr.. Daniel. A telegram from Keys
vile to the Richmond Times Monday
says:
A message has been received that
the negro who shot Town Sergeant AL
mond last FridaH, was seen in Burke
vile yesterday, and the authorities at
tempted to arrest him, but he fought
his way out and made his escape. He
is desperate character, but it is hoped
he will yet be unprecedented. Sergeant
Almond is getting on very we'll.

Easy to Do.

How easy it is to criticise and find
fault how difficult to avoid giving
cause for criticism. How unready we
are to hold ourselves to as strict an
account as we do other people. judge
our own net errors and sins as severely
as those of others. The spirit of
criticism is one of the DEVILS most
efficient allies for the habit of noting
and emphasizing peoples real or sup
posed faults binders us from entering
into real sympathy with other people,
and it also gives us sense Of superior
wisdom and goodness which helps to
quiet conscience and closes our eyes to
our failings and faults.

Tobacco Stems for Fertilizing.

There is quite an inquiry regarding
tobacco stems as a fertilizer. This
waste product Of the tobacco factories
is often sold for a very low price. At
some of these factories it is baled and
shipped away to be used for making
insecticides, but at others this plan has
not yet been adopted and the product
can be bought in bulk for low price,
and farmers and gardeners may we'll
secure it whenever possible. This
tobacco is Objectionable to many
insects. AS explained heretofore, it is
excellent for use around squash or
melon vines, as it not only serves as a
mulch and fertilizer, but keeps insects
off as we'll. AS fertilizer, the stems
are valuable largely for the potash they
contain, though nitrogen is also present
in fair quantities. AS fertilizer for
peach or other fruit trees they ought to
give good results. In its experiments
for 1891 the Rural New Yorker grew
potatoes fertilized with ground tobacco
OF snuff alone. The yield, as compared
with plots where chemicals were used
was very fair, and the tubers were
remarkably smooth and handsome

Destructive Hail Storm.

There was a severe hail and wind
storm in the section of Vance county
around Gillburg about II O'Clock last
Saturday, 9Th inst. The storm only
covered small area but proved very
destructive. Several small houses were
blown down, trees were twisted off
and uprcoted, and fruit, cotton, corn
and tobocco considerably injured. We
understand that some of the tobacco
was broken off at the ground and COM

est---Those New Baths---Pub-
lie Inspection and Recep-
ton FRIDAY. july Dist.

The heavy rain Sunday afternoon
did not seem to effect the spirit of the
young mems services at $3.50 O'Clock.
The subject "Sowing and Reaping"
opened up by the speaker, Geo. A.
Harrell, took immediate hold on the
minds of those present, two or three
spoke earnestly. There were two re-
quests for prayer, one of whom re-
manned to an after meeting, and yielded
himself to the claims of the gospel.
Mr.. Horace Hood, just home from
school, will deliver an address next
Sunday at the same hour, $3.50 O'Clock.
There will be special music. The
baths are being pushed rapidly to COM
pletlon. The Secretary reports that
baths will be given Saturday night, if
the balance Of the material arrives in
time. Scores have been watching with
great interest the improvements as
they have gone on from day to day.
The fittings are entirely new. and
novel, to most of the people, and the
arrangement of the shower rooms, is
most satisfactory. They will be the
most beautiful in equipment ever seen
in Henderson. On Friday, July 81,
a public inspection and entertainment
is announced to which the gentlemen
OF Henderson are invited. No gentle
men should miss the affair, as the
secretary assures US there is a rich
treat and surprise in store for all who
come. No collection will be taken,
and no money asked for. No invita-
tons. Everybody is welcome. The
ladies will be asked to tender another
reception in August.

He HOardad a Fortune.

Sol Bracy died at his home in North
hampton county one day last week,
leaving behind him fortune, in cold
cash, of 5000, which he had boarded
up during his lifetime. Mr.. Bracy was a
hard worker and, from all appearances,
was a very poor man, though rumor
whispered that he had money. At his
death it was found to be true; but what
benefits did he derive from his vast
wealth? He lived economically, even
suffered, no doubt, that he might be-
come rich, and it is well to save,
to lay aside for ''rainy'' day, but
living as he did he knew not what the
pleasures of life were. He had but
one object in view-making money
and he sacrificed every source of en-
ioyment that he might accomplish his
purpose. During his last sickness, and
Just a short while before he died, he
even asked his wife to bring the gilt
tering gold and silver to his bedside
that he might look upon it once more.
The above facts were given to us by
Mr.. w. f. Garlick, they being con-
veyed to him in a letter from his
mother who lives in the community in
which Mr.. Bracy died.
