TO DESTROY Flea Bugs.

The following remedy will, it is
claimed, destroy the flea bug and all
other bugs that infest the tobacco
beds and destroy the young plants.
The formula is one-half bushel of I'M
mixed ashes, one bushel of virgin
woods earth, one gallon of SCOT, one
quart of salt dissolved in two gallons
of barnyard liquid, four pounds Of
pulverized sulphur, the whole to be
thoroughly mixed. Broadcast on
plant bed once a week. The mix
ture, it is said, will exterminate the
bugs and insects, and is to be pre-
ferred to Paris green, for while Paris
green is likely to injure the young
and tender plants there are valuable

Horace Greeley Was Right.


Wallace P. Reid in Atlanta Co,,stitu-
ton says:
..Some intelligent people profess
singular ignorance of the nature Of
an advertisement, and they are all the
time urging newspapers to publish,
free of charge, reading matter which
plainly serves the private interests OF
those who hand it in or request its
preparation.
This sort of thing used to make
old Horace Greeley mad and it drew
from him the following pertinent ad-
vice:
"'When you want an article in
serted to subserve some purpose other
than the public good you should offer
to pay for it. 1t is not Just that you
should solicit the use of the news
paper columns Ghe publishers stock
in trade) to promote your own or
your friends private interests with
out paying for them. The fact that
you are a subscriber gives you no
right in this respect; if the paper is
not worth its price, don't take it.
True, you may often crowd an article
in, through the editors competency,
that you ought to pay for, but he sets
you down as a sponge and a sneak
and is generally right. If you wish
to use the columns OF any journal to
promote your own or some other per-
sons private interests offer to pay for
it: there is no other honest way

THE ALBA HAYWOOD co.
A Superb Combination of High Class
Artists and Entertainers.

A Superb Combination of High Class
Artists and Entertainers.
Never has Henderson had finer en-
tertainment than that given by the
Alba Haywood Company at Cooper
Opera House Friday nigh.
There are but four artists in the
Company, but what is lacking in num-
bers is amply compensated for in the
high order oftalent represented. They
are Mr.. Alba Haywood. humorist and
impersonator, Miss Flora Drescher,
violiniste, Miss Elise Reimer. pianiste,
Mr.. Horald De Bray, baritone.
In the varied and lengthy program
given Mr.. Haywood had excellent OPP
portunity to demonstrate his rare
talents and versatility. He excels as
character actor, his facial powers,
sympathetic voice aud pleasing stage
presence readily adapting him to any
character delineated.
Beginning with THE Lawsuit" by
Will Carleton, Mr.. Haywood went
from grave to gay, from the ridiculous
to the pathetic, carrying his audience
with him and making them feel his
moods. The parody on Poe's Raven"
was highly amusing, while his imper-
sonation Of Jas. Whtcomb Riley's fine
reminiscent poem ''Kingry's MILL"
was splendidly done. That Dear Old
Country Band;" a stirring humorous
song, live Nothing to Say" touch
ingly pathetic recitation, "St. Peter at
the Gate" his funny stories, rollicing
songs aud eccentric sayings were all
good, and when he did not have the
audience almost moved to tears they
were convulsed with laughter. The
concluding part was his impersonation
Of an old maid, and like everything he
did the presentation of this character
was perfect.
Mr.. Haywood is a show by himself,
and one does not tire of seeing and
hearing him. He is an entertainer of
the highest order-one whose equal
has not been seen Oh the Henderson
stage or lyceum platform. He was ex-
ceedingly obliging and responded to
encores repeatedly after giving the pro-
gram number, the audience seeming
never to be satisfied. Such manifesto
tons of approval and appreciation of
Mr.. Heywood's artistic work must have
been pleasngly gratifying to him.
The other members of the company
were good i'll their respective lines.
Miss Drescher gave same very pleasing
selections on the violin, and had to
respond to several encores after each
piece. Her playing was of the finest
order and showed complete mastery
over that favorite instrument.
Miss Reimer is an accomplished
pianiste and gave several brilliant
numbers. She played with good ex-
preston, grace and precision and both
her solos and Accomplishments were
much enjoyed.
Mr.. DeBray's vocal solos were
feature of the entertainment. He has
a rich, mellow baritone voice and
sustained his part most creditably.
Manager Brooks Parham deserves
the thanks of every one who was
fortunate enough to be in the audience
Friday night for the enterprise shown
in securing such high class attraction.
And Mr.. Haywood may feel assured
that if he ever visits Henderson again
an enthusiastic reception and a much
larger audience will be accorded him.
