Enioved a Rich Literary Treat.

Mr.. John A. Fleming tells us that
among other things the people of
Middleburg enjoyed rare literary
treat somewhat out Of the usual
order of the business at the Baptist
union meeting there Saturday before
last. 1t was was an address by Rev.
J. w. Lynch, of Wake Forest, on
The Coming Civilization of the
South and How to Meet IT, fruit
full and timely subject and one we
are assured the speaker handled in
an intelligent, Comprehensive and
able manner. The paper had been
prepared by Mr.. Lynch to deliver at
The Southern Baptist Convention in
Louisville. and being at Middlebnrg
he was asked to give his friends Their
the benefit of it first.
Mr.. Lynch said there were no bet
ter people in the world than those in
and around Middleburg, and as he
did his first preaching there and
knew their temper and patience and
forbearance he was sure he could
find no better subjects to practice
upon with the paper in question
Under these circumstances he said
he Welded and those who heard hin
were right glad he did. Mr.. Elem.
ing spoke very highly of the address
and said his only regret was thai
more people could not enjoy the
privilege Of hearing the able ant
| eloquent minister.

The Elements and the Insurance Com
panies.

Lawyer Hicks says the elements Of
nature seem to be working in favor
of the insurance companies. About
three years ago when a severe storm
visited this section a great many peo-
pie both in town and country took
out tornado policies on their proper
ties. AS the time for which they
were in force was about to elapse
another storm came along and there
was pretty general renewal of in
surance policies. And last years
storm caused many others to insure
who had not done so before.
Mr.. Hicks had policy on his resi-
dence the time expiring Monday.
He had decided not to renew it when
the storm of Monday afternoon oc-
Cured. Early Tuesday morning our
friend was at the office of his insur-
ance agent and when we met him he
was out the amount of the premium
but he was in new policy on his
home and was better satisfied in the
possession thereof.
In this connection, as bearing Mr..
Hicks out that the elements seem to
favor the insurance companies, we
may state that Mr.. M. Dorsey had a
tornado policy on his residence which
escaped the fury of Mondays storm
but none on his store building which
sustained considerable damage.

Reports Business Good.

Mr.. l.. ID. Stainback, the popular
and successful representative of the
Seward Trunk and Bag Co.. Peters
burg, Va, spent few days here at
home during the past week. He was
just in from Southern trip and re-
ported business good-much better
than last season. His sales have in
creased every year since he has been
with the house and the indications
are that the present will greatly ex-
coed any previous one. MIR. Stain
backs territory covers Virginia and
North and South Carolina. The con-
Germ he represents are the largest
manufacturers of trunks and bags in
the world, and no better or cheaper
goods are made anywhere.
From here Mr.. Stainback will make
few of the more important points in
Virginia after which he goes to
Petersburg to arrange for his fall trip
formulate plans and prices. etc.,
for future business.

FIRST REGIMENT BAND.
This Splendid Organization to Visit
Henderson.

Henderson,.
The First Regiment Band will be
seen and heard in Henderson next
Wednesday, May 18th. Judging
from the very flattering press notices
received throughout the State-Ral-
eigh. Charlotte. Wilmington and
eisewhere-the GOLD LEAF does not
hesitate to say a rich treat is in store
for the patrons of this concert. The
| Band has been received with great
| enthusiasm everywhere. and Hender-
| son should, and no doubt will. give
them full house. The NeUs and o.
serrer says:
There is no sort of doubt about
the First Regiment Band being an
aggregation OF first-class musicians.
The character Of the music and the
manner in which it was rendered was
a manifest surprise to the audience.
| 1t was a performance that would
have delighted the soul of music
loving audience anywhere. The
programme covered wide range,
classic and popular, and the selec-
lions was rendered with finish and
spirit that moved and charmed.
when the curtain went up the
band was given an ovation for the
sake of the regiment of which it was
formerly a part. At the close of
each number it was met with a
storm of applause. genuine tribute
to- its own merits as body of
musicians"
The Wilmington Messenger speaks
| OF the concert given there as "a reve-
lation from an artistic standpoint"
and says:
at plainly demonstrated that
Sousa and Godfrey are not alone in
their glory, nor have they the market
cornered on finished musicians, for
the concert was equally as fine as
those given in Wilmington by the
bands of either the March King or
the Garter King The concert was
superb and the audience was thun-
derous in it's applause and kept en-
cores constantly in vogue.
1.-The programme was divided into
two parts, and each a perfect gem.
The variety of the numbers was
within itself a feature, which pleased
all. The selections from grand opera
were rendered with precision and
sweetness that made the most fas-
tidious critique marvel, while the
fire and dash of the martial airs
| thrilled and rethrilled every heart.
''There are two Spaniards with the
band. Antoio Cruz and Jose Manuel
de la Cruz. and they are both con-
genial spirits and talented musicians.
The band has along as mascot,
Veto, bright Cuban boy"
From the Charlotte Observer we
take the following:
s'The Old North State has another
| pride, another treasure-the First
Regiment Band. This organization
ranks second only to Sousa and God
frey in the bands which have visited
Charlotte. 1t took the town by
storm. The large and critical
audience present was amazed and
delighted at the genuine excellence
of the performance. The band is be-
yond all question, the best that
ever been here, with the exception,
only, of those mentioned above"

SEVERE WIND AND HAIL STOR1
Does Considerable Da mage In Small
WAY,

Henderson was visited by . severe
wind and hail storm Monday after.
noon. We have seen larger stones
but never saw hail fall SO thick and
fast for same length of time. 1t was
exactly 8 minutes that the icy mis-
siles were being rained down. The
stones varied in size from buckshot
to partridge egg and fell to a depth
OF two or three inches in places. By
the side of houses and where it
drifted it could be raked up by the
bushel some time after the storm
subsidized And far into the night il
lay in piles in every direction. Trees
were blown down and the leaves
whipped off until the ground was
fairly covered. Vegetation and grow
ing crops were beat to pieces and
fruit was stripped from the trees in
the path of the storm.
Window panes Jared badly. A
great many were broken out. rang
ing in price from 10 cents to $1,000.
Several large buildings were wrenched
from their foundations, those suffer

factories of c. A. Lewis & Co.. X. j.

A building belonging to the last
named firm, situate on Montgomery
street, just below Chestnut, was
blown down.
The parapet wall ornamental
'front.' of Dorsey's drug store was
blown down, but fortunately no one
was on the street at the time. The
skylights in the photograph gallery
above and the back windows in the
same building were broken to peices
also. Damage about $500.
The American Tobacco Company
had 269 window lights broken; j. P.
Taylor & Co. about IS, and C. A..
Lewis & Co. something like the same
number. Many other buildings had
from so down to pane knocked out.
Ten or a dozen trees were uprooted
or broken off in the grove of Mrs. A..
f. Young, and several chimneys were
blown down also
Gardens and flower yards suffered
greatly. From all we can learn the
hail storm appears to have originated
about 1 or 5 miles Northwest of
Henderson and reached probably as
far beyond. 1t struck the town with
full force its track not being wider
than the corporate limits:
