Tuesday evening amid the beautiful
moonlight and pleasant breezes gay
party of young ladies and gentlemen
on pleasure bent met at the residence
of our townsman Col. w. H. Hood, for
the purpose of rendering surprise to
his pleasing daughter Miss Mary. AS
the precious moments of the delightful
summer evening were passing all hearts
and wishful eyes were turned towards
each other with eagerness to share in the
happiness OF the occasion. After SOL
itude had been overshadowed by pleas
urc and delight and many well spent
hours of useful conversation had van
ished all left to partake of the delicious
spread of ice cream and cake provided
by the ladies for the benefit of the
Confederate Monument fund, and
served with such consummate grace and
skill by the charming young Misses
who 80 graciously assisted them, max
ing the fete all the more pleasing and
successful. When the time for our
departure had come we babe farewell
to many friends and as happy party
we owe debt of gratitude and appre'
citation to the kind and entertaining
hostess. b.

Distribution Of Soy (SOjay Beans

The North Carolina Agricultural Ex-
extend the cultivation of Soy Beans,
proposes to distribute a quantity of seed
to careful planters desiring to test their
merits. The only condition is that each
applicant send 10 cents in postage
stamps to pay cost of transportation by
mail. Enough seed will be sent to each
applicant to plant ITO acre. The first
400 applications will be filled in the order
received.
The Station regards this as a very
valuable forage plant. 1t is OF upright
growth 2 to it. high and is legumine
capable OF adding nitrogen from the air
to the soil in which it grows. tits planted
in hills or drills 2h to 3h #. apart ac-
cording to richness of soil, and Is to "a
inches apart in the row. 1t can be
planted any time from March to July,
either alone or in the corn row between
the corn, and to 4 beans are usually
planted in each hill. Soil suitable to it
and the general preparation is the same
as for corn. When planted for corn both
crops can be ensilaged together, and the
corn ensilage will be much improved by
the combination, or the plants when
planted alone can be cut for forage
before they get too woody. The seed are
found in small pods and can be saved by
cutting the whole plant when leaves and
pods have turned golden hue. They
can easily be beaten out when dry. Ii
cutting is delayed beyond this time the
pods will open and some will be lost on
the ground. 1t will not pay to pick the
beans. 1t is also q good table bean, but
requires long time to cook. The Station
urges careful trial of the crop.

of the pen, skilled in writing graceful
and beautiful hand, with the kuack of
teaching others to acquire it also, but
| during his stay in our midst Prof.
Smith has impressed himself upon our
people as young gentleman of high
character, in every way worthy OF
commentator and patronage. Moral,
dignified, of pleasing address and
polished manner the man we'll BELTS

position which Of necessity throws him
in close and intimate contact with boys
and young ladies'. There was desire
on the part of many-those who desired
to take writing lessons from him as
we'll as friends he has made since he
has been here-that Prof. Smith should
remain longer in Henderson, and we
are pleased to know that he will
probably return some time in the fal
or the latter part Of the summer.

To Test an Incubator.

The Louisville Home and Farm says
this of the Peerless Incubator, manu-
featured by II. NJ. Sheer & Bro,
Quincy, ILL.,, and advertised in this
paper:
There are SO many conditions to be
considered in Matching chickens that it
is not an easy matter to judge the
merits of an incubator by the way it is
built or by the results Of single trial.
1t is only by continual use and by
making careful estimate of the actual
results, that the value of an incubator
can be accurately gagged. One of the
best records for Matching is that made
by the Peerless Incubator, manu-
featured by II. NJ. Sheer & Bro g,
Quincy, Ill. The Peerless has the
record for Matching 169 chicks from
100 fertile eggs and making an average
of 80 per cent. in general use. The
incubator is built upon entirely new
and improved lines with the best
appliances and is absolutely self-regu-
lating. The manufacturers back up
their claims for it with an iron-clad
guarantee, and offer to refund the
money if it does not move exactly as
represented. All who are interested
in poultry raising will do we'll to send
to Sheer & Bro, for their interesting
catalogue.
The attention OF housekeepers is called
to our stock of Straw Mating. We
carry full line of plain, white and fancy
colors, at 10, Is, IS, 20 and 25 cents q

China, at 33, 35, 37k and 40 cents q

Rev. T. M. demonstrating by
Miss Thomas.

Miss Thomas.
A fair sized audience met at the rooms
at 3 D. M. Sunday. Rev. Mr.. johnson
took for text Rom. 8: 2, ''The law of
the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath
made me free from the law Of sin and
death.'' EVERY one desires freedom"
said the speaker. "There are different
views of freedom. The sinner thinks
he enjoys freedom, but he doesn't.
There can be no freedom outside Of
conformity to Divine law. Love is
not the basis of freedom, for one may love
a wrong thing" The address was brist-
ling with thought, and delivered in
Mr.. Johnson's usual earnest and I'M
pressive manner.
The singing of Miss Mary Lou Thomas
was especially fine. She rendered
ssSome Mothers Child" and "Thou
art Drifting'' with great effect, which
delighted the audience. Miss Thomas
has very sweet voice, strong and
sympathetic, and her pronunciation
is simply charming-every word being
clear and distinct. She Is always
welcome visitor, and adds greatly to
| the interest and usefulness OF the ser
vices. Miss Lizzie Pinkston presided
at the organ with her characteristic
grace and skill and the music was a
pleasing and inspiring feature. The
closing prayer, by the General Secre-
tary was timely, full of love and sym,
patty for the erring, and characterized
by earnestness.
