Death Of an Aged Lady.

Henderson's oldest citizen has passed
away in the death of Miss Bette
Reavis, which occurred at her home in
this place about $50 O'Clock Monday
night. She had been sick about two
weeks, although her condition was not
considered serious until within a few
days of her death. She was sister Of
Mr.. w. w. Reavis and Miss Sallie
Reavis, of Henderson, and Mr.. George
Reavis, of Oxford. She was 70 years
of age and died in the hope of a rich
reward in the life to come. a few
years prior to the war Miss Reavis was
assistant to her father in the post
Office here, and from 1861 to the close
of hostlities she was post mistress,
and those among our older citizens
know with what faithfulness and
obliging disposition she performed her
duties. So satisfactory indeed was her
administration that the authorities at
Washington were unanimously petit
toned to continue her in office.
A devout member Of the Methodist
Episcopal church, full of gentle piety,
tenderness and sympathy for the
distressed and afflicted, it may be truly
said of her that "none knew her but
to love her, none named her but to
praise The funeral was held from
the Methodist Episcopal church at 5
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, the service
being conducted by the pastor Rev. w.
L. Cuninggim, assisted by Rev. J. D.
Arnold, of Greensboro. The services
were of a solemn and impressive
character, and while there was sorrow
and sympathy in the hearts of many
present it was not as those who
mourned without hope. Full of years
and usefulness it seemed as if the
deceased was not dead, but like one
who wraps the drapery Of his couch
about him lays down to pleasant
dreams,'' she had only gone before to
await the coming of friends and loved
ones On the other shore. The body
was inferred in Elmwood Cemetery, in
the presence of large concourse OF
persons who gathered to pay the last
tribute of respect to the aged and
lamented dead.

The match game Of base ball PLAYED
here last Thursday afternoon between
Raleigh and Henderson clubs. was the
closest and most exciting contest Of
the season. At the close of the ninth
inning the score was even-lO each,
The tenth inning put Henderson to the
bat, and as soon as one run was made
the game ended. Some of the players
on both sides did admirable work and
deserve special mention but as we did
not see the game and our sporting edi-
tor has made no report none can be
given.

A Word to Farmers,

Farmers generally can get more and
better Accommodations from Henderson
merchants and warehousemen than any
other market offers, besides always
giving the highest prices for what the
farmer sells. There is plenty of money
here to take care of the farmers in
terest. Bring on your cotton and to-
bacco. 1t may be a little nearer to
some other town, but considering Hen
derson's advantages, her warehouse
men with ample capital, large corps of
cotton and tobacco buyers buying on
speculation and representing the largest
concerns in the country, larger and
better stocks of goods to select from
within radius of fifty miles, will more
than compensate you for the few extra
miles.

loved pastor of the Methodist Episcopal

visitor here the latter part Of last week

1t was rich intellectual and spiritual
repast such as Mr.. Arnold has the rare
gift of laying before his hearers. a
large congregation was present and the
praises Of the sermon were upon every
lip. 1t was strong, thoughtful, meaty;
full of tender love and sympathy, re-
tlecting the life, character and good
ness of the blessed Saviour in whose
name the gifted preacher pleaded SO
earnestly and impressively.

AS to Henderson.
Henderson offers superior advantages
as a market for tobacco, cotton and
other produce. and as trading centre.
Among her warehousemen are men of
large capital, wide experience, ener-
getic and of high character. Her prin-
cipal buyers represent the largest man
ufacturers in the United States and
export largely to other countries. Her
merchants carry immense stocks Of
goods and offer every inducement to
secure the trade of this section. You
can get better selection of goods here
than is found in many large cities.
In word there is no better place to
sell your cotton and tobacco, and no
better place to buy your goods than in
Henderson.

The Canning Factory.

The canning factory has been work
ing on only about half time this season
owing to lack of tomatoes enough to
keep it going regularly up to its full
capacity. This means the putting up
of between l, 800 and 1900 cans day.
If sufficient stuff could be had they
could pack $500 or 1000 cans daily.
The success of last season encouraged
the company to make some needed
improvements and additions to the
building and apparatus this year and
the equipment is first-class in every
particular. Everything is nice and
clean and nothing but strictly high
grade goods are put up. In fact the
product of the Henderson factory has
already made name and reputation
distincly for itself in the market. The
verdict is that no better goods of the
kind are produced anywhere. The
managers invite the public generally
and the ladies particularly to visit the
canning factory and examine their
process of packing tomatoes and their
method of conducting things around
them.
