Mr.. Burbank, representative of DIR.
A. Week, the eye specialist who will
be here next week, tells US that he has
made quite number of engagements
for the Doctor, his success so far being
even greater than he had anticipated.
DR.. Week, who has engagements to
specially visit Henderson, wants it
understood that he does not belong to
that class of spectacle peddlers and
''glass filters" usually travelling
through the country. The fact that he
is with and endorsed by Mr.. Frank H.
Gale, the leading jeweler Of Norfolk, is
sufficient guarantee Of his character
and qualifications, to say nothing of the
strong array of testimonials introduced
from other we'll known and reputable
gentlemen, among them some of the
most eminent clergymen and promi-
nent business men of Norfolk and else
where.

The Confederate Battle Abbey.

Zen. Thos. l.. ROsser, Of Virginia.
VIII" is travelling III the interest of the
proposed Confederate Battle Abbey.
gave two entertainments III Henderson
this week-Tuesday aud Wednesday
nights. 1t is to be regretted that his
coming had not been more widely ad-
vertised as the audiences were not such
as the entertainments merited or the
cause deserved. But those whose good
fortune it was to attend, whether old
soldiers or others, were richly repaid
for SO doing.
Gen. Rosser has one of Edison's
wonderful inventions, the kaleidoscope,
operated by an expert, by means of
which life size animated pictures are
thrown upon canvas, and these never
fall to excite wonder and admiration.
There were all kinds of scenes, humor-
Gus and otherwise, interspersed with
war plctures-battle fields, prominent
men associated with the Union and
Confederate armies, &C., Gen. Rosser
featuring on each as presented to view.
Altogether it was an enjoyable and
instructive entertainment, and created
renewed interest and enthusiasm in
behalf of the object for which it was
given.
After the entertainment last eve
ming resolutions were adopted express
i've OF the sentiment of the ex-Confed-
crate veterans and their endorsement
of the Battle Abbey, which will be
published next week.

sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter

Camp of Confederate Veterans.

At an adjourned meeting of Confed-
crate veterans held in the court house
last Saturday, an organization was
effected which we trust is but the be-
ginning of live and active camp in
our midst.
Remarks were made by Gen. w. II.
Cheek, Capt. o. r. Smith, DR.. J. H.
Tucker aud Capt. w. i. Shaw, and
after the plans and purposes of the
general organization were fully ex-
planned it was decided to organize
subordinate Camp Of Confederate Vet
Grams for Vance county.
This step being taken DR.. Tucker
moved that it be named Camp Wyatt,
in honor of Henry l.. Wyatt. the first
MARTYR to the Confederate cause. 1t
was eminently fitting and proper, said
the speaker, that such recognition
should be given brave private soldier,
and in this sentiment his comrades
united as the vote upon DR.. fuckers
motion was unanimous.
The next thing being the election OF
officers Gen. Cheek was chosen as com
mander; c. J. Burroughs lieutenant
commander; Capt. Shaw adjutant sec
retary;) r. A. Bullock treasurer; w
r. Green commlssary.

Diocesan Convention.

The diocesan convention of the Epis-
copal church was held in Raleigh last
week. The attendance was large over
twenty parishes being represented.
Rev. DR.. NJ. NJ. Marshall, Of Raleigh,
was chosen president, and Rev. Julian
E. Ingle, Of Henderson, secretary,
with Mr.. G.. T.. Lamb, of Henderson,
assistant secretary.
The Introductory sermon was preach
ed by Rev. James Battle Averitt,
rector of St. Paul's church at Louis
burg, and St. James church at Kit
trell. His text was from Isaiah xxi:
ii, "Watchman what Of the night?"
As the Necs and Observer says, from
this he preached an eloquent and pow
erful sermon. 1t was a discourse that
takes up the problems Of the church,
grapples with them and undertakes to
solve them. Some Of lbs ut FRANCES
have caused already much comment
and discussion. But they were de-
livered with such force, such earnest
ness and with such faith withal that
they could but carry conviction.
Though DR.. Averitt is advanced in
years, he has lost none of his youthful
vigor of mind. He has served in the
ministry just thirty-six years and it is
hoped he may be spared to serve as
many more"
In response to request that Mr..
Averitt's sermon be reproduced in
these columns we will publish it next
week.
Henderson was chosen as the place
for holding the convention next year,
the time being May 18th.
