Franklinton, in which he has extensive
interests.
Mr.. B. A. Capehart went to Raleigh
last week for a short stay.
Capt. J. H. Fuller, Supt. of the Sol

ways glad to see the Captain.

went to Franklinton Friday night to
hear Rev. +. l.. Pell's lecture "From
Bethlehem to Calvary"
Mr. Willie Person, who is attending
school at the 4. 4 NJ, came here to spend
the Easter holidays with his friends.
Mr. J. NJ. WOOdlef has put very nice
soda fountain in his store This is
piece of enterprise that will be very much
appreciated when the long, hot suInmer
days come.
Mr.. Tom Crudup went to Durham Fri
day to see the game of baseball played

Easter services were held at the Meth

Charlie Cook, young colored man
OF Henderson, was killed by a freight
train on the Seaboa7d Air Line about
four hundred yards this side of Kit
trell last Thursday. He and another
boy went up there the day before, steal
ing ride on the train, and he was
heard to say just before the freight left
coming this way that he intended to
"beat" it to Henderson. It is sup
posed he got up between two box cars
and missing his footing or having a fit
Ito which he was subjecD he fell under
the wheels and was horribly cut to
pieces. No one on the train knew of
his presence or was aware he had been
killed until Henderson was reached.
Charley was a we'll known character.
He had lived with Adams & Harris
about seven years and they speak in
praise of his honesty, politeness and
faithful service.

1t Is a. pleasure to present to our read
ers this week a sketch and portrait of
Bro. George b. Harris, of Henderson,
This sketch was written by one who
knows him well.
In reading it we recall a remark made
by his brother S. r. Harris, a member of
the same firm:-"George is often called
the business end of Harris, Gooch & Co."
Bro. Geo. B. Harris is one of the larg-
est contributors to the Publishing House
Fund. The sketch is as follows:
Geo. b. Harris entered Western Mary
land College, January, 1871, intending
to take only a partial course; but after
ward changed his mind and took the
entire course, graduating in the class of
"a with the degree of A. B. He then
clerked for a few ears in Raleigh, after
wards farmed for some time. Some
years ago he came to Henderson and
with his brother, S. r. Harris, and one
other partner, opened a warehouse,
which business has ever been quite sue
cessful. Bro. Harris is one of the direc-
tors of the Citizens Bank of Henderson,
also of the Henderson Cotton Mills, in
both of which he has considerable stock.
He is looked to by his relatives and i'm
mediate friends as an adviser in bust
ness matters. His advice as a business
man is sought and valued both because
OF his sound Judgment and integrity.
These business qualities are recognized
in other parts of this State and in other
States. No one who knows him would
claim that there is a better business man
certainly not in Vance county.
When Bro. Harris was converted in
early life, he joined old Rehoboth, one of
the first Methodist Protestant churches
in North Carolina, built by his father,
grandfather and others, when barred
out of the NJ. f. Church, of which they
were members, because they believed in
lay representation. This church has
been rebuilt at a new place, and is spo-
ken OF as New Rehoboth. Bro. Harris
was the prime mover and perhaps the
principal giver in building New RehO-
both.
His liberality in giving to charitable
and religious purposes is so free and yet
so unassuming, SO void of demonstra-
ticn or show that it has real charm;
and to any spirit that is not mean or
stingy this liberality is an inspiration to
be in like manner liberal
He married Miss Anna Watkins, and
has six children living.

The following plaintive appeal will
doubtless touch Il sympathetic chord in
in the makeup of many of our readers
by the the familiar if not fond recOllec-
tions awakened by it. We find it in an
exchange and reprint it because of its
seasonableness rather than any poetic
merit it lays claim to:
Father, dear father, come home
with me now, for ma has some carpets
to beat; she's got all the furniture out
in the road, from the front porch clear
down to the street, The stove must
come down and be put in the shed, and
the yard must be cleared of dry grass.
for it's time to clean house and the
duece is to pay, and the front window
needs new glass. Father, dear father,
come home with me now, and bring
some bologna and cheese; it's most
twelve O'Clock, and there's nothing to
eat, I'm SO hungry I'm weak in the
knees. All the dinner We'll have will
be scraps and such, and We'll have to
eat standing up, too, for the tables and
chairs are all out in the yard, Oh. l
wish spring house cleaning was through!
Father. dear father. come home with
me now. for ma is as mad as a Turk;
she says you're a lazy old thing, a1d
that she proposes to put you to work.
There's painting to do, and paper to
hang. and windows and casing to scrub,

1t is always we'll to wait and hear
both sides of a question. And then if
it be of a nature calculated to do harm
if repeated it is best to keep silent. AS
an exchange we'll says: "When you
have some dreadful scandal or tale of
alleged wrong-doing poured into your
ears, just stop bit and ask what i.
back Of it all. Did you never think
how many, many people like to excuse
their own wrong doings, or are moved
by some motive of revenge when they
set out to ruin anOther's character !?
The remembrance that there are
always two sides to every story has
saved lots of trouble and it should be
continuously kept in mind.'

Employed in a Habeas Corpus Case He
Won His Suit and Made r1other
Happy.
Mr.. W. r. Henry returned to the
city Sunday morning from South Caro-
lima where he went Saturday to try
an important case of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Kelley Pennington some weeks
ago abandoned his wife and child.
Shortly afterward, by false representa-
tons, he obtained possession Of the
child and fled to Gaffney City, S. c.,
being advised that if he crossed the
border his wife, Mrs. Anna c. Pen
ningtOn, could not recover the child.
For six weeks the broken-hearted
mother has awaited the return Of her
boy, trusting that the father would re-
lent. At last she applied to Mr.. Henry
for assistance and, being employed as
her attorney, he took the mother and
her father, went to South Carolina,
secured writ of habeas corpus, and,
after long trial, in which Mr. Penning-
ton and his attorney, Col. Webster,
contested the possession of the boy, the
child was delivered to its mother by
the court.-Charlotte Observer It'll.

About Our Merchants.
We do not recall ever having seen
the time when Henderson merchants
showed larger, more stylish or better
selected stocks of goods than they do
this season. Fully alive to the needs
and desires Of their patrons and eyer
on the alert to serve their interests to
best advantage, they have made every
preparation to that end that it seems
possible to do. This is certainly true
SO far us the stocks of goods carried
and the prices at which they are sold,
is concerned. Take it anyway you
please and there is no better place than
Henderson to do your trading. You
can learn which merchants are most
desirlous to have your trade by con-
sulting our advertising columns. 1t goes
without saying that those who are
most anxious for your patronage are
most likely to give you the greatest
values for your money. The live, up
to-date merchant is the adver Using
merchant. The advertiser is the trade
getter, and the trade getter is the bar
gain giver. They are the ones who
carry the largest stocks and best goods
the latest styles and freshest articles,
and sell at lowest prices. AS an ex-
change APPLY puts it you can most
always save money by trading with
the wide wake merchants who adver-
tise, as hey take interest in their bust
ness and study how to make it to your
interest to trade with them.

Don't think because you are sick and
nothing seems to give you relief that you
cant be cured.
There must be cure for you somewhere.
Ifyour doctor can't cure You probably he
has mistaken the cause. Anybody is liable
to make 4 mistake sometimes.
One in three of us suffer trola indigestion
and one out of three dyspeptics doesn't
know it. That is, he may know he is sick,
but he blames it to something else.
Indigestion is the cause of half of our
dangerous diseases.
Shaker Digestive Cordial, made from
tonic medicinal roots and herbs, is the most
natural cure for indigestion. 1t relieves
the symptoms and cures the disease gently,

The Future of the Nation.

This country has great future. 1t
also has great past. The recent enun-
citation Of the Monroe Doctrine and its
probable application in the near future
will have most potent influence in de-
termining the destiny of these United
States. But far reaching and powerful
as that influence will certainly be, it
can never rank in importance with
that famous Declaration which made
this free people and these States a
united and sovereign power.
The scenes of conflict and triumph in
the troublous times of 1776, 1912 and
1861, are almost venerably regarded by
our people. New Orleans, Montgomery,
Atlanta, Kennesaw Mountain, Able
Vile, Raleigh. Durham, Petersburg,
The Wilderness Fredericksburg,
Charlottesville, ashinSton, AL these
names recall memorable historical
events which have made our past and
shaped our future course.
