Courtesy Appreciated.

MIR. W. F. Blackley, manager of the
Henderson Minstrel Company, as well
as the individual members thereof, are
enthusiastic in their expressions Of APP
probation Of the courtesy shown them
by Capt. Il. w. Whisnant, Superinten-
dent Of the Seaboard Air Line, on the
occasion Of their visit to Louisburg last
week. A low rate of fare was given
to beg in with which induced quite a
number of Henderson people to go
over with the Ministries, and when it
was learned that they wished to come
back that night Capt. Whisnant had a
special train run from Lonisburg to
Franklnton for their accommodation
without extra charge. There they
connected with the Northbound At
lanta Special and were home next
morning in time to 90 to work as usual
instead of being delayed until the
O'Clock train as would have been the
case had not Capt. Whsnant so promp-
thy and cleverly come to their rescue
in the manner above mentioned. 1t
goes without saying that such liberal
and accommodating spirit. always
characteristic of the Seaboard manage
ment, is fully appreciated by all con-
cerDed.
To Mr.. Henry Macy the genial and
young gentlemen desire to make their
acknowled 5ements for active interest
and kind offices on his part also.

lien Who Take Towns,

The class that builds up town and
country, and enjoys life and makes the
best citizens, are the enterprising and
liberal men who believe in living and
let others live. and who when they get
dollar don't squeeze it until the god
dess of liberty feels as if a corset, laced
to the last notch, would feel more COM
Portable. Such squeezing is what
causes hard times and stops tie circu-
lation of the American eagle. If it
were not for our broadgauged, enter
prisiug men it would be impossible to
build a prosperous city.-Durham Sun.

Missed the Turkey.


The Durham San recently told this
story on Fred Hunter, the popular en-
gineer on the Durham & Northern
passenger train:
While on the run between Durham
and Henderson, few days ago, Mr..
Hunter flushed wild turkey with his
engine. Wnen the engine struck the
bird, or the bird struck the engine,
whichever way you choose 70 call it,
they tell it on Capt. Hunter that he
leaned far out of his cab and made a
mighty grab at the fine turkey. Alas
for human hopes; the bird took its
flight, leaving nothing but its tail feath-
ers behind in Capt. Hunters hand. 1t
is told Of Capt. Hunter that he has
been in half dazed condition ever
since, but whether this is so or not we
cannot say The old saying, ga bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush, "
will not always hold good, especially
if you have bird by no securer hold
than its tail feathers.

nothing more nor less than an advertising

good just the same. They gave away

those suffering from stomach derange-

1t was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their praises of it and in consequence a

created.
