Operated on for Appendicitis.

Friends of Mr.. Benjamin N. Duke,
of Durham, will be interested to
learn that he has Just undergone a
difficult surgical operation in New
York. That he stood the operation
we'll and is doing nicely will be cause
for sincere qualification. The Dur
ham San of Saturday says;
mir. b. n. Duke went to New York
a short while ago and day before yes
terday had an operation performed
for appendicitis.
"When he left for New York none
but his most intimate friends knew
that he was suffering from that dis
ease and the announcement that he
had an operation performed will be
a surprise to the people OF Durham
and his many friends elsewhere.
He stood the operation very well
but since then he has been very sick.
A telegram from his physician to-
day, however, says that he rested
very we'll last night and this morn
ing, and was thought to be consid'
erablv better. 1t is said that he has
been sufferer from appendicitis fol
some time, but, as stated above,
only his most intimate friends knew
of it.
The people of Durham as whole
regret to hear of Mr.. Dukes atfiic'
ton and any news showing an i'm
provement in his condition will be
glad tidings to them"
AS we learn from later issue O
the paper above quoted MIR. Duke wa:
not sick when he went to New York
having gone there on business. The
disease developed soon after his ar
rival and when it was correctly dag
nosed he submitted to an operation
The Sun says telegram states MIR
Duke is getting on as we'll as coule
be expected.

We Lose Them With Regret,

The fact has already been noted
that Mr.. n. P. Strause had accepted q
position with the American Tobacco
Company and would 90 to Wisconsin
to manage their business in that
State. His leaving Henderson caused
his mother to decide to give up her
residence here and 60 to Greenville
to make her home with her younger
son Henry.
Mrs. Strause went to Chase City,
Va, Monday to stay few days with
a relative, after which she will re-
turn to Henderson and spend week
with Mrs. Teiser before going to
Greenville. Mr.. Strause left on the
same train for the field of his future
labors going by way Of Richmond
and New York on business.
There is general regret at the break
ing up and removal Of these good
people. Mrs. Strause is held in very
warm esteem by, a wide circle Of
friends. She is a truly good woman
at heart, charitable in word and
deed, Kind and considerate neigh
Dor and sincere friend. She will be
greatly missed and the best wishes
and loving regard of all who know
her will 90 with her to her new
home
In Mr.. Nathan p. Strause Hender-
son loses useful and esteemed citizen.
He had the confidence and respect of
the community and in social and
business circles he is recognized as a
man of high character and integrity,
whose sterling worth and mental
qualities will make for him friends
and command success wherever he
goes.
Unable to see all their friends per-
sonally and bid them goodbye as it
was their wish, we are requested to
say that in taking their departure the
prayer of both Mrs. Strause and Mr.
Strause was ''God bless Henderson. "
And we are quite sure the people of
Henderson invoke Heavens richest
blessings upon them.
During the Civil war, as we'll as in our
late war with Spain, diarrhoea was one of
the most troublesome diseases the army
had to contend with. In may instances it
became chronic and the old soldiers still
suffer from it. DR.. David Taylor of Wind
Ridge, Greene Co., Pa, is one of these.
He uses Ceamberlain's Colo, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and says lie never found
anything that would give him such quick
relief 1t is for sale by the Dorsey Drug Co.
