NEARING COMPLETION.
Work on The Big Strause Factory
Nearly Finished.

The following item from the Green
vile Reflector is of local interest from
the fact that the gentlemen concerned.
the Messrs. Strause and Architect
Linthicum, are Henderson men. 1t
says:
The immense tobacco factory and
stemmery of Strause Brothers is now
near enough completed for people to
get good idea of the appearanc e and
i'm mensity of the building. The Re
Hector reporter stopped out there this
morning and was shown through by
contractor Hill c. Linthcum. The
walls of the building are all up. the
roof on and the force of carpenters are
busy laying the floors. while the
masons are running the walls to the
power house in the rear.
1t is an immense one-story build
ing, having floor space Of 10000
feet. 1t has frontage on Tenth
street of $50 feet, the two wings ex-
tending back 100 feet, the connecting
section between them being 80 feet
deep. In the square between the
wings is the location of the power
house.
Asking Mr.. Linthicum something
of the material used in this building,
he said there were 500, 900 brick. 250.-
900 feet of lumber. two tons of nails.
two tons of window weights, 1900
feet of window cord, 1000 panes of
glass, 100 boxes of tin, and smaller
quantities of other material. Work
commenced on the building the 10th
of May and it will be completed the
10th of July, and wonderfully short
time in which to put up a structure
of such size. The cost will be about
$4,000.
The building will be fitted with the
most improved machinery for hand
ling leaf tobacco, and when campbell
ed there will be none in the South to
surpass it. 1t will also have an
electric plant for lighting the build
ing, and there are two railroads side
tracks to it for delivering and re-
ceiving shipments. 1t is as near fire
proof as building of this size could
we'll be made.
Such a factory is creditable to
Greenville, and we congratulate the
enterprising firm of Strause Brothers
for having such a splendid plant.

ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED.
Little Henry Newell Loses Ills Life
Under Peculiarly Distressing Cir

cumstanceS.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. George
NJ. Newell, of Washington City,
formerly of Henderson, were panied
last week to learn of the death OF
their son Henry by accident, as told
below. A Suffolk correspondent OF
the Norfolk Virginidn and Pilot, under
date of June 23rd, says:
After several hours of awful,
weary suspense, the body of Henry
Newell. II years Of age. was tished
from the bottom of Smiths creek, two
miles from here, about IL O'Clock
last night Henry's mother, Mrs.
George NJ. Newell. of Washington, d.
G.. had missed him in the afternoon,
and though she feared the worst, all
! hope was not relinquished till the
lifcless body was found.
Henry was in delicate health and
| it was for his sake and in pursuance of
his doctors advice that his father, MIR.
George M. Newell. OF Washington, d.
c., decided to establish a SUNNI er
home near Pitch Kettle bridge, in
Nansemond county. Mr.. Newell is
an expert photographer employed by
the Treasury Department in Wash
ington. The family arrived at their
summer residence less than a week
ago.
Little Henry was accustomed 10
being humored. He and his mother
went down to the creek, where a boat
was moored. Henry had hand net,
and was playing, Mrs. Newell went
to nearby spring to get glass of
water, and when she returned Henry
had disappeared. Inquiry failing OF
his whereabouts, search party was
organized. 1t is supposed he sank
Immediately after falling. The boy
may have had an epileptic fit. He
was subject to spasms.
Little Henry was very bright boy.
He was religious in tendency and
about six months ago joined a Pres
byterian church in Washington.
Many Of the GOLD LEAFS readers
remember Henry we'll. He was
handsome, manly little fellow, bright
and precocious, and gave promise of
a bright and useful future. His
death is peculiarly sad and very
keenly do their friends sympathize
with MIR. and Mrs. Newell in their
great sorrow.

A. L. Barnes advertises ladders of
all sorts and sizes. You need one?
Certainly you do unless you have one
already. There is no more useful
thing to have about the house than
a step ladder. In fact ladder of
any kind ought always to be handy.
How many premises are provided
with such, though? And in the
country especially no well regulated
home should be without long ladder
or a number of Adjustable short ones
under the house, in convenient place
about the wagon shed or elsewhere.
In this connection we have often
thought that in the manufacture of
ladders alone a fine opportunity is
open right here to some active, en-
terprising man to engage in a pay
ing enterprise requiring but little
capital. There is need for the product
Of such factory. The demand for
it can be easily created.
