Rev. W. T. Walker, Of Oxford,

Now Is the time to pain, your
house and the Watkins Hardware
company are the people to buy your

wears well. Let them quote you

Old congregation in Scotland Neck
Sunday, aud that the beloved ..old
man eloquent met with warm,
open-hearted welcome goes without

MIR. Thos. II. Crudup, OF Kittrell,
looked in upon us for Il short while
Monday morning. He SAYS his town
is recovering from the fire which
afflicted them a few months ago, and
ere long it will be more substantially
built up than before. Vance claims
no better citizens than our kittrell
friends and the GOLD LEAF is gratified
at their well doing always.
The friends Of those very clever
gentlemen Messrs. Eugene Bcrtram
and Bassett Willard, of Captain
Dick and '.Singin' Skule" fame, are
pleased to have them among us again.
AS already announced they come with
Il new play (said to be their best and
next week with the aid of some of our
best local talent will give us The
Midnight Fire Benefit of the Ladies'
Library.
Work has been resumed on the new
Methodist Protestant church, and it
will doubtless now be pushed through
to completion. 1t is not expected
that the building will be finished be-
fore late in the fall. AS heretofore
announced this new house of worship
will be a splendid editicc, credit to
the denomination and an ornament
to the town. 1t will cost something
like $1,000.
Despite the rainy weather Friday
night j. Robert Jordan, the imper-
senator, gave his entertainment at
Cooper Opera House as advertised.
There were but few present to hear
him. This was the third time Mr..
Jordan attempted to appear before
Henderson audience, the two previous
engagements having to be cancelled
on account of the weather when he
was here before.
r. X. Pinkston advertises a lot of
planning mill machinery for use in
manufacturing sash and doors, for
sale. One Houston tenant machine,
one Houston mortiser, and one blind
slat tenanter. All in good running
order and to be disposed of because
Mr.. Pinkston has quit doing this kind
of work. Persons in need OF such
machinery would do well to CORES
pond with him.
Commenting on the presentation Of
Messrs Bertram & Wizards admir-
able play, The Midnight Fire" just
before these gentlemen left for Hen
derson last week, the Wilson News
says: The Opera House was packed
with delighted audience and from
start to finish applause and laughter
showed that the play was success.
The receipts for the two nights
amounted to $3.50"
You know that tired feeling is exceed
ingly disagreaable. What is far better,
you may know, by a fair trial, that Hoods
Sarsaparilla entirely cures it,
Hoods Pills cure nausea, sick headache,
biliOusness, Indigestion. Price 25 cents.
Every baby in town and country IL
invited to call at Alex T. Barnes Furni-
ture House to see his big line of Whitney
Carriages and Gocarts.
