Could Have Got it at Home.

A Evansville lady wanted to buy d
wheel and SO sent her money to a friend
in Rochester, with instructions to buy
the best wheel to be obtained for the
money. Imagine her surprise when the
wheel arrived to find that it was "Will
Dick Fairy" made right here in town.
After looking all the wheels over the
Rochester friend could find nothing so
desirable as the "Fairy" so wisely bought
it. This is compliment that Mr.. Dick
may we'll be proud of.-Dansville (N. "
Breeze
The lady above referred to is not an
exception. We could cite numbers Of
instances where people have sent
away for things and got the very artl-
cles manufactured in their own midst;
or no better and no cheaper than they
could have bought at home. But then
you know in the opinion of some folks
nothing is quite SO good as that which
comes from little farther North-or
away from home at any rate.
Speaking of the s'Will-Dick Bicy-
cle," reminds US that Mr.. Geo. e.
Woodwork is agent for these wheels
in Henderson. AS intimated above
there is no better machine made for
the money. Last spring Mr.. J. W..
Goodson bought enc of these wheels
for his little son, and SO we'll pleased
was he with it that he got Mr.. Wood
worth to order him another-the "Will-
Dick Fairy''-for his wife. These ma
chimes are built of the best material,
artistically constructed, and Of them it
may truly be said, none are handsom-
er, none are better. And the reasona-
BILE price is a big thing in their favor.

We are sometimes discouraged as we
hear such expressions as the following
from friends: 81 am not in favor of this
temperance move. 1t will not amount
to anything. Those people are throwing
away their time and money" Now
friends II this effort of ours does not
amount to anything, we have the con-
seriousness of knowing we tried to abolish
the evil. Ifyou will investigate our en-
deavor perhaps you will change your
opinion of us.
The W. c. 7. L. have many depart
ments OF work. While it recognizes the
saloon as the chief foe, yet that is not
the only battle IT is attempting to fight.
Ii has established recently in England
farm colony for inebriate women; aud
the W. t. /. L. brought to bear suri, an
influence at the opening of This colony
that Royalty encouraged them by their
presence Among the guests We're the
Princess Mary, the Duchess of T-k, the
Duchess of st. Adams, Lady Edward
Cavendish, Lady Somerset and ut least
dozen other duchesses, besides the dis
tinguished Mr.. Cubitt, NJ. F., and our
Miss Frances Willard. Among our de-
partments is Prison and Aims house
work, Loyal Temperance Legion for
training the youngj, Scientific Temper
ance Instructions, Sunday-schOol Work,
Sabbath Observance, Systematic Civ
ing, Physical Culture, Gospel Temper
ance Meetings, Rescue Work. The last
department has been quite successful, rs
the minutes of our Convention will show.
Homes have been found for some of the
erring ones and many have been placed
at the Lindley Training School.
There is also charity work being done,
such as putting i'll town pumps for the
poor, and planting trees that in future
years the redeemed drunkard may sit
beneath their cool shade, and drink of
pure water, and have his mind clear SO
he may think OF the Tree of Life, and of
that water, of which, if a man drink, he
shall never thirst
The w. &. I. l. works slowly because
| it is hEdered for want OF funds. If it had
means it might establish Unions at every
| available place and let all the ladies of
| this land see they had calling from
| God, and that there was something more
worthy of their time and talent than
| dress and fashion.
There are noble men in North Carolina
| who have helped other causes and | be-
| lieve they would come to the aid of the
| W. {. 4. L. with their influence and
money il they knew the struggle being
made for "God and home aud native

we want to help all humanity that we
may be all one in Christ.

HENDERSON COLLEGE.
The Institution and its New rlanage-
ment.

Always having fairly good schools.
Always pushing them aside for new ones,
This is the history of education in Hen
dersOn. AS result we can note but one
school successfully maintained during a
period OF eight or ten years-the Parham
and HOrner School for Girls. When the
community insisted upon n higher insti-
tuition of learning for girls, which in
name and appearance should comport
with our municipal Importance, the la
dies conducting this school gave way,
after years OF success, to the Henderson
Female College. After rwo administra-
tons, handicapped by debt and heavy
running expenses, the College was closed.
The community has since been depend
ing upon private schools, of high char
acter, it is true, yet falling far short OF
our needs.
1t is matter OF congratulation that
the College is now to be re-Opened under
such changed circumstances as give ex-
celent prospects OF permanent useful
ness. wish to point attention to the
sound basis of the new enterprise. In
the first place the principal owns the
property. The College will not be run to
pay rents nor to discharge mortgages.
In the next place it has no large faculty
of shor-of teachers for appearance sake.
Every member of the faculty is distin-
guished for solid attachments and con-
scientious work. Everybody in North
Carolina knows the splendid teaching
of the Horners-a family of teachers.
Among those who know him there is no
question of W. d. Horner's professional
right to the family name. Mrs. Horner
is equally well known and esteemed. 1t
NAV we'll be said that nearly every edu-
Gated young woman who grew up in
Henderson previous to 1890, bears III
her character and mind the influence of
Mrs Horner's teaching.
While Mrs. Perry and Miss Stephens
| have not so large experience i'll teaching
as Prof. and Mrs. Horner, both are dis
| tinguished for earnest and intelligent
work and brilliant results. The value OF
association alone with these gentle and
cultivated ladies will be worth to the pu-
| pills more than the expense OF attending
| the institution. These are matters
which those concerned in the conduct OF
the College cannot with propriety say
| for themselves, yet need to be spoken be-
cause it concerns the community.
The College commends itself as having
q sound financial basis. sound educa.
tional policy and an efficient, cultured
faculty. Surely such considerations can
not be lost on those who wish the best
culture for their daughters upon the
| most economical basis.

Dig down to the cause of your sickness,
if YOU want to get well and stay well. Most
likely it's indigestion. The irritating pois-
sons of fermenting, putrid food left in the
stomach by indigestion, cause headache,
neuralgia, nervousness, dizziness, stomach
ache, nausea, irratability, and all the other
well known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and dIsor-
ders which are often laid to other causes
and hence are not easily cured. But as
soon as the poisons are removed, all these
symptoms and disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them. Moth.
ing succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive
Cordial, because it prevents the undlgested
food from fermenting in the stomach and
helps the stomach to digest its food.

Horrible Crime.

The partially decomposed body Of a
white male child was found floating in
Rowland's mill pond Monday. Tues
day a coroner's jury was impaneled,
&. w. Finch acting as special coroner,
and an inquest was held. Owing to
the advanced stage of decomposition it
was impossible to determine whether
or not there had been life, but the
broken bones of the head caused DR..
Tucker and the jury to entertain the
opinion that the child was not still
born. Then the presence Of the little
body in the pond, without vestige Of
clothing, not even so much as guano
sack around it, carries it's own COM
ment. Pending further investigation
no verdict has yet been rendered.
