Death of a Young Man.

Mr.. Oliver Van Every, of Brooklyn.
n. Y, who was known to many of our
citizens, died at the residence Of Mr..
J. II. Dunn near town, where he was
staying, at 500 o'clock Sunday after
noon. He was consumptive and had
spent the past two winters here for his
health, and to all appearances had been
much benefited 1t had been his
custom to come South when cold
weather set in and return home with
the opening of spring. He had visited
Florida and stayed a while in Raleigh
previous to coming here, but as he
himself told us he was better pleased
with Henderson than any place he had
been. He liked the place and people
and the climate agreed with him better.
This year he came down earlier than
usual and has been here all summer.
About week before his death Mr..
Van Every had severe hemorrhage
which was followed by others. Tie
was left in an enfeebled and exhausted
condition and growing worse his brother
Henry. who was with him last winter,
was communicated with and came
Monday. Wednesday his mother and
sister arrived and they were with the
sick man when he breathed his last.
The body was taken North on the
early morning train Tuesday for
interment. Mr.. Van Every was about
"a years Of age. He was young
gentleman of genial disposition and
affable manner, and had made many
warm friends among our people. His
mother and brother were deeply touched
by the tender administrations and solicitous
attentions paid the sick man and eX-
pressed themselves as gratefully APP
preciative Of the same.

Polk Miller Last Friday N-.,,llt.
Mr.. Polk Miller was greeted by {
cultivated and appreciative audience
at Burwell Hall last Friday evening
and his entertainment was greatly
enioyed by all. While his stories were
told as only he can tell them and his
singing and banjo playing were dou'
in his own inimitable style, there wa
not the same warmth of zest and vlgor
business of manner that characterized
his performance on a previous vlsl
here. This was attributable to the
fatigued condition in which Mr.. Mile
found himself upon his return from al
extended lecture course through tn
Western part of the State, travelling a
night. and losing sleep and nuch needed
rest. But this was not noticeable t
the extent of detracting from the merl
or enjoyment of his entertainment, an
those who had not heard him hetor
doubtless thought he was at his best
There is but one Polk Miller and he
unexcelled as a dialect story teller
He knows the negro and pictures hir
as he is and was in ante bellum times
and herein lies the secret of his success
There is no attempt TO improve upo
the darkey, or put words into hi
mouth of which he is unfamiliar, as 5
many writers and lecturers have done
/ And this makes his entertainment a
the more natural and pleasing.
