Our young friend John Hill Tucker.
son Of DR.. and Mrs. J. II. Tucker. was
essaylst at llOrner's School, Oxford,
and we are told acquitted himself with
high hOnors at the closing exercises
last week. His essay was the subject
OF many very hattering encomiums
and the young man was literally loaded
down with boquets showered upon him
at the close Of its reading.
Jake Brown, a colored dravman.
swallowed half pint Of spirits Of tur-
pentine Tuesday, with suicidal intent.
This is the second or third attempt he.
has made, turpentine being his favorite
potion III each case. Physicians brought
him around all right though he vows
that he will yet put an end to his mis-
cradle existence. 1t is rare thing
that a negro takes his own life.
Thomas GOOch, the genial and ever
popular clothing salesman, has been
here greeting his friends the past few
days. We note with pain that much
association with Philadelphia dudes is
having IL bad effect upon our friend.
He is letting his hair grow long. But
as he has not yet affected ''yaller shoes
or contracted the ''cirgharwette' habit,
we have hopes of saving him yet.
Mr.. w. X. Nelson, of Orange, n.
J., who spent some time in Henderson
during the construction Of the water
works, has been here the past week or
two experimenting the putting in of
the tilterer at FoX's pond. He has
many friends among our people who
are pleased to see him. His brother
Mr.. John w. Nelson, holds a respon-
slble position with large corporation
in Boston, Mass.
DR.. Frank Pitt, of Birmingham,
Ala, specialist on cancers, tumOrS,
&C., passed through Monday on his
way to the eastern part of the State.
He says he will return in Il short
while and stop in Henderson to treat
those who may need his services, no.
t!ce OF which will be given in this
paper. DR.. Pitt has testimonials of
wonderful cures made Of cancers, &C.,
and guarantees Il cure or no charges
will be made.
Julius Speed, one Of our most worthy
and intelligent cOlOred citizens, tells
us that his son Dallas, who is a student
at Biddle University, Charlotte, won
the medal out of a school of something
like 800 pupils. This is quite compli-
mentary to Dallas, who is apt, studious
and ambitious, and his friends will
hear of the fine record made by him
with pleasure. The father is quite
proud Of the honors won by the son
and has just cause to feel so.
Some extensive Improvements are
being made in connection with the
water works plant at FoX's pond.
Among other things Il tilterer is being
put i'll by means of which the company
will be enabled to deliver water in
town as clear as crystal, regardless Of
the state of the weather or the condi-
ton of the water at the source of sup
| ply. While there has been no cause
of complaint either on account of the
| muddy condition Of the water or any
impurities of the same, the precautions
| taken by the company to prevent such
will be appreciated by their patrons.
