there was no more fair and convenient

logical to take them up as agricultural

A Mean Act.

Last Thursday morning when the
statesmen at Barnes Clothing Store ap-
peared at their place of business for
the purpose of opening up they discov-
cred that the large sign which usually
stood in front Of the store was missing.
The sign consisted o. a large cloth COW
cred frame marked Suits from 81 so
to s25 co. etc. 1t was noticed that
the cloth had been completely stripped
from the frame, cut to pieces and left
lying on the sidewalk. Search was
made for the frame which was found
later on back street some distance
from the store.
1t is hard to conceive the motives
that could prompt person to be guilty
of such an outrageous and unwarranted
act. 1t is to be hoped that the party
who destroyed the sign Gf he lives
here) is the only person in Henderson
mean enough to engage any such cow
ardly business.

each paid liberal price for these

you a feeling obituary and all free,
gratis and for nothing. Yet we VEN
ture the assertion that the business
men would not have paid US the
amount they paid for this handful, if
do the work.
1t is strange that the Weldon News
should have to make such a complaint.
1t is incomprehensible that business
men should act as those in Weldon have
done i'll patronizing an advertising
scheme gotten up by persons whose
only interest in the matter was what
money there was in it, still they will
do it, and as a general thing seem
eager to throw all their patronage away
from those who work the hardest for
for their benefit and the benefit of the
community at large. We have had
men to whom we had given hundreds
of dollars worth of free advertising, and
benefited in various other ways, send
their work off to some outside Jack
leg who offered to do them a poor job
few cents lower than we would do
them good one for.
Well, it's all in lifetime, and it is
some comfort to know that other men
who have proved of benefit to their
community get the same dose. Still it
is not business, to say the least Of it,
and the short-sighted individuals who
practice it will find that out to their
sorrow some day.--Rocky Mount dr.

the very best medicine for restoring the
tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor
is Electric Btte-s. This medicine is pure

nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimu-
lates the Liver and Kidneys, and aids these
organs in throwing off imp urities in the
blood. Electric Bitters imp roves the appe-

THANKSGIVING.

This is our annual Thanksgiving
Day, an occasion that should be made
the most of. AS the Suffolk Herald
truly says, while every day ought to
be one of thanksgiving for the blessings
We enjoy, still il is very meet and
proper to have special day set apart
for observance as a day of national
thanksgiving. If there are those who
think they have nothing for which to
be thankful, let them read and ponder
the beautiful sentiments expressed by
the talented Southern poet, Frank l..
Stanton in the following lines:
For what are we thankful? For this:
For the breath and the sunlight OF life;
For the love of the child, and the kiss
On the lips Of the mother and wife.
For roses entwining,
For birds and for bloom;
And hopes that are shining
Like stars in the gloom.
For what are we thankful? For this:
The strength and the patience Of toll;
For even the joys hat we miss
The hope of the seed in the soil.
For souls that are winter
From day unto day;
And lives that are brighter
From going Gods way.
For what are we thankful? For all
The sunshine-the shadOw-the song;
The blossoms may wither and fall,
But the world moves in music along!
For sim pie. sweet living.
('TiS love that doth teach it,
A heaven fOrgiving,
And faith that can reach it!
