A Beautiful Memorial.

There has recently been placed in Elm |
wood Cemetery one OF the handsomest
memorials to be found anywhere IN the
State. We have reference to the monu-
ment erected to the memory OF Mrs. u;
Y. Cooper. 1t is the figure OF an angel
standing by a cross holding wreath OF
flowers in the right hand in the act OF
placing them on it. In the lett IN grace
iul folds lie the ends OF a sash depending
from the top and draped around the
cross, the piece representing hope
Growing Immortality. 1t Is indeed
real work Of art and mustbe seen to be
appreciated.
The inscriptions are few, the lettering
| plain. the wording simple. On the face
| of the base somewhat in oval form are
these words: "Wife ""Mother. Friend.
| Underneath: "Leah billiard Perry,
| and in a line following: "Wife OF David
Y. Cooper" Then the dates OF birth and
death: "February 23rd, 1852. January
LIST. 1897" At the bottom: Thy VIII
| be Done
On the diverse side of the cross in
raised letters 81. II. s." (Jesus the Sa-
vior of Menu At the bottom on the
base in one line is the word Nellie,
and below it: "Sweetly Sleeping.
1t is an imported piece OF work the
figure having been cut in ltai y OF the
finest quality of Italian marable. Base
and ali, it stands about 8 feet high, and
is genuine work of art from any point
in which it is viewed. This monument Is
an ornament to our beautiful City OF
the Dead andits presence must be very
gratifying to the family and friends O
the noble woman whose memory 1t com
memOrates.
1t was bought through the CoupeE
Marble Works, of Norfolk, Va, and was
put up under the direction OF Mr. JONI
ID. Couper of that firm.

Facts Worth Your Attention.

If the Southern Stock Mutual 1usur-
ance Company continues to pay the
20 per cent. dividend that it has paid
during the last four years, and the
business increases during the next SIX
years in the same ratio it has increased
during the last four years, the actual
saving for the ten years to policp hold
ers in North Carolina will be $194, o22.
And to the policy holders in Green's
boro alone it will be $26,237.
Wouldn't it be wise for property
owners of Henderson to consider this
matter and save 20 per cent. on their
fire insurance?
The Southeastern Tariff Association
has made war on their home company
in Greensboro, but the Southern Stock
Mutual has come out OF the hight
stronger than it was when the rate war
was declared against it.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle of common glass with urine
and let it stand twenty-four hours;a sedl-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or pain IN
the back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out OF order.
WHAT TO DO.

An esteemed friend and subscriber |
in a neighboring town recently sent us
the following newspaper clipping,
without word or comment, and we give
it space hoping there are others who
will be constrained to follow the exam
pie of the man referred to in the last
paragraph:
Once a farmer had one thousand
bushels of wheat, which he sold, not
to a single grain merchant, but to
one thousand different dealers, BUSH
ell each. A few of TEEN paid him in
cash, but far the creator number said
it was not convenient then, but would
later.
A few months passed, and the mans
bank account ran low. "How is th's:"
he said. my one thousand bushels
OF grain should have kept me in easy
circumstances until another crop Is
raised, but l have parted with the
grain and have instead only vast
number of accounts, so small and scat
tered that cannot get around and COL
lect it fast enough to pay expenses.
So he posted up a public notice and
asked all those who owed him TO pay
quickly. But few came. The rest
said, ''mine is only small matter, and
l will 90 aud pay, one of these days"
forgetting that though each account
was very small, when all were put to-
gether they meant IL large sum to the
man. Things went on thus: the man
got TO feeling so badly that he fell out
| nd n h q
granary found his one thousand bushels
of wheat still safe there. He had only
been dreaming, and hadn't sold his
wheat at all.
Moral-The next day the man went
to the publisher Of his paper and said:
"Here, sir, is the pay for your paper;
aud when next years subscription is
due YOU eau depend on me to pay il
promptly; l stood in the position Of
an editor last night. and l know how
it feels to have ones honestly earned
