The Postal Telegraph Company.

The Postal Telegraph Company is
growing rapidly in the extent OF business
and the facilities for handling same. 1t
has just completed and moved into a
new IL story building, 253 Broadway,
n Y, and now has telegraph plant
that is ahead OF anything of the kind in
the world. The building is magnficently
constructed, a model in arrangement
and comfort, and is supplied with all the
latest telegraphic appliances. Every ar
rangelnent for convenience and speedy
work has been studied and brought out
to perfection. Electrical experts are en-
plOyed and it is estimated that less than
one minute will elapse from the time a
telegram is handed in on the ground
floor until it reaches the operating room
on the 18th story. Pneumatic tubes are
used.
The Postal has made a distinct char
acteristic record for it's promptness in
handling business, and uniform courtesy
and accommodation, and the New York
headquarters have been perfected upon
this same line. The Postal is fast push
mercial communication with all parts of
employees moved into the new structure
in New York and this gives you some
idea OF the extent of their work.
The above is taken as a news Item
from the Durham Sun. 1t seems to
be characteristic of the Postal Tele-
graph Company to observe the same
degree of efficiency and completeness
of detail in its branch offices as it does
at headquarters. And in this connec-
ton we can also speak good word for
the Henderson office. Mr.. J. E. Nc
Craw. the manager in charge, besides
being an expert operator and efficient
man for the post, is not only courteous
and agreeable in manner but ex-
ceedingly clever and accommodating
even to the extent Of keeping his office
open after the regular business hours,
if necessary, in order to serve the
public and accommodate his patrons.
And when it comes to handling business
witt dispatch and promptness, Nc"
yields the palm to none. 1t is always
pleasant and satisfactory to deal with
| the Postol folks.

A Sign Of Better Times.

When everybody is hoping for the re-
turn of better times, each straw that
shows the wind to be blowing from that
quarter, is worthy of special notice.
There is no barometer so reliable as the
demand for goods. Nobody buys stock
for fun or for appearances.
Our advertisers, the Charles E Hires
Company, of Philadelphia, transact
business over a very wide field, dealing
in every city, town, village and cross
roads in the country. They report that
the sales of Hires Rootbeer so far this
season are very much in excess of the
same period last year. When it is re-
membered that their annual sales have
before this reached the enormous total
of 2,SSO,27S packages, which equals
| more than gallon for every family in
the country, it would seem at first
thought that there is little room for
further growth. Thirst for it, seems to
be universal, as this years report shows
| a very large gain, indicating that ere
long the person who does not drink Hires
Rootbeer will be somewhat of a curiosity.
No temperance beverage has ever any
where nearly approached Hires Root
beer in popularity. Its wonderful success
that it is just what the manufacturers
claim-an honest extract of natures
most healthful roots, which slakes thirst,
improves health, and pleases every
member of the family. It's remarkable
sale certainly proves that millions enjoy
Hires ROOtbeer.

Capt. Shaw's Speech at Oxford.

We noticed at the time the paragraph
lii the Public Ledger in reference to the
speech made by our townsman Capt.
W. B. Shaw. at the meetir" Of ex-
Confederate veterans recently neld IN
Oxford, and cut it out for use in these
columns. But it was mislaid, and we
have Just found it. Although little
late, as good words never die, we give
place to it now. The Public Ledger
said
Capt. W. B. Shaw, OF the Henderson
bar and father of our townsman, ii. Nj.
Shaw, ESQ, was seen in the audience and
was vociferously called for. Filled with
patriotic sentiments and moved by the
inspiration of the hour, he could not
refuse to lift his voice in praise OF Dixie 8
peerless heroes who poured out their
precious blood as a libation upon the
altar of their country. 1t was known
that Capt. Shaw was an orator OF no
little reputation, and the expectation OF
the audience was not misplaced. For
twenty minutes the whole audience
listened with bated breath as he pictured
to them the daring and heroic deeds OF
the boys in Gray, their sufferings and
sacrifices, and the heart-rending scenes
of a father leaving wife and child in want
and pain to 60 to the front for his
country's cause. During his speech few
were the eyes that were dry. 1t was q
speech that was entirely in point, and
one that was much appreciated.

Chicken Cholera and Its Prevention.
Why submit to heavy losses from this
disease? Up to April, 1894, this disease
had not been on the Experiment Farm
to our knowledge. Early in that month
. hen became sick and dUmpish with
dark comb; all food and water refused.
1t was thought useless to treat this case,
but Epson salts were administered and
this was followed with copiouS water
ing put in the mouth with a spoon. The
hen was placed in a warm, sunny place,
very slowly.
Another hen died in a few days
and then another and cock
erel, and several persons who had
had experience with cholera pro
nounced this disease to be cholera.
The hen and cockerel died near night,
and next morning two other hens were
dead and eight more were IN different
stages of the disease.
Treatment was begun at once, Two
hens were killed and buried as those
previously dead had been. The six
were brought out into the sunlight
and gwen salts and water.
The house and yard were thoroughly
disinfected with 1 pint of strong sui
phuric acid to gallons of water, as
suggested in poultry books. The hens
themselves were sprayed with this.
Their drinking water was charged
with carbolic acid Il teaspoonful to half
gallon water and asafetida was put in
their food at the rate of l heaplng
tablespoon to the food of 80 chickens.
The next morning six hens could not
get off the roost, though all but two
had gone up as usual the night pre-
vious after their treatment. These
were treated as before and put outside
the yard. Before night all but four
hens were walking about pecking
grass. After three days of isolation
these four were returned to the
ward cured, and all have been in good
health since. Six hens and a cockerel
were lost before the health of the flock
was restored by the treatment as given
above.
Had we known the disease at first, it
is doubtful if single bird need to have
treat the sick birds will save many
losses The doses of salts, not before
recommended to my knowledge, doubt
less helped rid the birds Of the cholera
bacilli sooner than if it had not been
given. and so FASTENED the eradication
of the disease. The asafptida acts as
d diffusible stimulant to help keep the
birds warm.
The drinking water was for some
DAYS kept charged with carbolic acid,
and all that is now needed 10 secure
| immunity from another attack is a
second thorough disinfection and to
continue for some time the addition o!
! carbolic acid to the drinking water.

Mr.. Henry's Lecture in Rocky
Mount.

The Rocky Mount PAoeni1 of last
week says this of Mr.. W.. r. Henry's
lecture in that place:
Hon. Walter r. Henry delivered
his beautiful lecture on Is Woman, Her
History and Heroism Her Place and
Power" at the Academy of Music
in this city on Thursday evening. He
was very gracefully and appropriately
introduced by Col. Worthington. The
lecture was replete with sparkling gems
of wit and satire and afforded most
delightful entertainment to our citizens.
The lecture was given under the aus
pices of the Baptist church and our
citizens are indebted to them for this
rare treat. Mr.. Henry contended with
unanswerable logic and eloquence for
the same remuneration to women as
men for the same work and said that
any discrimination against them on
account of sex was unjust and unfair,
He discussed the Woman's Rights
movement and said the women Of the
South did not desire the privilege of
the ballot. Throughout the lecture
were innumerable bouquets of exquis-
lite beauty which repeatedly drew the
applause of the delighted audience.

An Experienced Merchant.

Notwithstanding the complaint Of
dull times and scarcity of money, Mr..
J. II. Daniel, our excellent hardware
merchant, tells us he has had good
trade, all things considered, and dur
ing the month of May did 80 per cent.
more business than during the cores
ponding month last year. This goes
to show that things are not altogether
as bad as we some times think. The
fact that he keeps what the people
want in his line and sells his goods
at reasonable prices accounts for much
in the make up Of Mr.. Daniels trade.
Travelling men say his is the best kept
and most complete stock of hardware
to be found this side Of Baltimore.
And for arrangement of detail and per-
feet order and convenience of his goods
there is not another store just like it
anywhere.

Artistic Cotton Gowns for Ladies.
The materials for these gowns are the
staple Scotch ginghams, light weight
Zephyrs, heavier Chambray and the
small figures, corded lines, stripes and
small dots. Some of the ginghams are
more elaborate, and have interviewer
broidery, raised silk or linen dots or
stripes and some a crepe-like surface.
Colors are light and dainty. Their style
of making is similar to that of the cloth
dresses, and very frequently the elabo-
rate ginghams are shown with the dark
color used as trimming. Dimity muslin,
too, is in vogue this year, in striped
and fancy patterns. The McDoweu
Fashion Journals from which these fashion
items are taken, contain great variety
of models for the use of these materials.
Their coupon patterns, moreover, which
are so popular, show many new designs
which are unique in point OF artistic
taste, style and practicability. OF these
fashionable publications, La Mode de Paris
and Paris Album of Fashion cost only SO 80
each per year or :}5 cents a copy. The
French Dressmdker is $500 per annum or
80 cents a copy. La Mode, family
journal which has no superior and no
equal in this country, only costs the
trifng sum Of $50 per year or -
cents a copy. The three first mentioned
publications offer $1.OO worth OF coupon
patterns, and La Mode fifty cents worth
OF patterns as premium for yearly
subscription. If you are unable to pro-
cure any of these journals from your
newsdealer, do not take any substitute
from him but apply by mail to Messrs.
