Rom p. Watson, of Wilson. spent
Sunday in Henderson. He has not
been away long but said he was get
tlng real home sick to see his friends
mere. Rom may call it his friends if
he wants to, but we're son to him.
Simon Rowland, who has been s.ay-
ing III the freight depot of the Seaboard
AIR Line at this place for some time,
has been given position in the Ports
mouth office. Simon is a bright bow
and we are sure will improve his op-

New 25 cent silver pieces of the
mlntage Of 1895 are plentiful. Large
quantities of them have been received
at the bank lately and most of the
small change of this denomination one
sees now is as bright and shiny as the
proverbial new pin.
However much may be said about
other markets Henderson continues to
sell tobacco. If present indications
hold good we expect the present sea-
son to break the record in number of
pounds sold, high averages made and
amount OF money paid out for the
weed.

The Day o. AtOnement, the most
sacred of all the Jewish holidays. be-
gins Oh Friday evening, the 9th inst,
and continues to shutdown on Saturday,
during which time the Jewish esta blish-
ments will be closed.
Some idea Of the state of the wealth.
er out his way may be gathered when
we quote what Mr.. Yves Hart said Sat-
urday. He was curing tobacco Fri
day and went into the barn to see how
things were progressing. The tenn
perature was 1909, yet Mr.. Hart said
when he came out he could not tell
any difference bewteen the heat out
side and what it was in the barn.
Pretty hot, wasn't it?
Mr.. G. NJ. Stainback had the mis-
fortune to lose between $50 and $50
some where on the road between
HENDERSON and Gillburg last Monday.
The money was all bills, in a small
brown book. Finder will be literally
rewarded by returning same to Mr..
Stainback. This is is quite a serious
loss to hard working man, and doubly
so just at this time from the fact that
Mr.. Stainback recently had good
mule to die.
Mr.. w. r.. Henry made hurried visit
home last week. He came down from
Blowing Rock where he had been with

Henry and little daughter remained i'll
the mountains while Master Peyton

was in fine spirits and talked good
humorcdly with US about the way his
cause is viewed by the press. He Bit
terry denounces some editors for their
abuse and got OIL a joke by way Of IL
Illustrating that this was the only way
they could answer him.
