An Important Factor.

The effort of any newspaper to build
up town is practically nullified unless
it is backed up by the business men.
A stranger turns from the news COL
umns of a paper to its advertising
pages. and if he fails to find there the
business cards Of the merchants and
professional firms, he comes to the
conclusion that the publisher is not APP
preciated, in which case it is good
place for him to keep clear of. No
town ever grew without the active as
sistance of its newspaper. Nor can
papers grow and build up their locali-
ties without the assistance of the town.
Business men should realize this and
remember in giving support to the
newspapers they are not only building
up their own business, but helping to
support that which is steadily working
for the growth of the whole town.

Filled His Appointment Sunday.

Rev. A. G. Cree, Of Wake Forest
College, filled his appointment to preach
at the Baptist church in this place Sun
day. His sermon in the morning was
a splendid Que and was heard by large
congregation. 1t was an effort that
would have done credit to a much older
and more experienced man, and we are
told that he did equally as we'll at night.
Mr.. Cree is a talented young gentle
man and evidently has bright and
promising future. AS a Henderson boy
the was principally raised here although
not a native) he has many friends
among Our people who feel a deep in
terest in him and who will watch his
career with pride and pleasure.

The Way to Do it.

We are are living in an age Of add
vertising. Every man who has an ar
ticle to sell, exchange or give away,
uses the advertising columns of some
newspaper or magazine to get the fact
before the people. The man who does
not advertise is out of date-antiquated
living in the past, and it is only a
matter of a very short while until his
business is placed under the sheriff S
hammer. -Pr00ressire Farmer.

Points a Moral.

"There was a man in town
and he was wondrous wise,
He bought a shoddy suit of clothes
And thought he had prize;
One day he wore them in the rain,
He's in a sorry plight;
The coat shrunk up into vest
The vest shrunk out of sight
He saved some feet onto the pants,
He's wearing them for socks,
To hear that wise man swear
You think he was blasting rocks.
If he had bought his clothes ofSamuel
