has been busy of late making num-
Der of changes and improvements
about his place of business. Next to
the main sales room down stairs
apartments have been fitted up for
displaying certain lines of goods to
better advantage than heretofore. In
the front room to the right are burial
goods. the handsomest line ever seen
hereabouts Just back of this is q
parlor suit. beautifully upholstered,
carpeted floor, lace curtains, etc.
Next is dining room set, table,
chairs. everything ready for "busi-
ness"
One must see Mr.. Barnes magniti-
cent stock and examine the exquisite
quality and designs to properly ap-
preciate the same. Suffice it to say
no matter what YOU want in his line
he can furnish it if it is to be had be-
tween Baltimore and Atlanta.

Death of a Little Child.

Friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. +. w. Wat
kins >ympathize with them in the
death Of their infant daughter Kath-
crime Temple, aged about two and
one-half years, which occurred Satur
day morning after short illness.
Little Katherine was a sweet child,
bright and atfectionate, and her death
will cause sorrow and bring tears to
the eyes OF those who loved her. She
will be sadly missed in the home here
which she blessed and frightened for
so brief season, but in the home on
high she will know neither sorrow nor
tears.
The funeral was held from the res
idence at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon,
Rev. j. ID. Hufham, ID. d., conducting
the service. The little white caskct
was borne to the cemetery where the
precious form was laid to rest be-
meath bed Of beautiful flowers.

BURIED BY WHITE PEOPLE.
Another Instance of Who are the Ne
grOes' Real Friends.

A respectable colored man named
John Young died in Oxford last week,
and because he always stood with the
white people for good government
and voted the Democratic ticket the
negroes would not bury him. This
fact becoming known to them some
of the white citizens of the town took
the matter in hand, procured coffin
and gave the dead man, black and hum
BILE though he was, decent and becom-
ing burial.
The Oxford Public Ledger says:
The ma iority of thefuneral cOrtege was
composed of our best white citizens.
with few coIored among the number.
We regret to learn that the majority of
the colored race refused to assist in his
burial because John Young always voted
the Democratic ticket, but white friends
did, and consigned his remains to the
tomb in a solemn and impressive man
ner, assisted by about twelve good col
ored men. Lady friends of the deceased
furnished flowers which covered the
casket and were placed on the grave of Il
brave colored man who dared to do what
he believed was right.

Another opportunity is to be given
our people to visit and inspect the
North Carolina Rolling Exposition.
The beautiful car 1.-The City of Char
lotte," will be in Henderson today and
tomorrow, June 7th and 8th. The
car itself is one of the finest ever
turned out, while the interior resem-
bles State Fair in miniature so COM
plete is the exhibit of the States re-
sources. A former visit of s:The City
Of Charlotte" is recalled with pleas
ure.
Those who saw the exhibit at that
time know its worth as being both
instructive and entertaining. The
collection has been added to and i'm
proved upon and is now even better
than it was originally creditabie as it
was then. A visit to the car and in
spection of the resources of the State
therein displayed will well repay you.
An admission fee of 10 cents, to defray
expenses, will be charged.

THE SEABOARO'S INAUGURAL.
The Trip of the Special Transition
the Seaboard Has Shortened the

Mr.. |. |. Avery, of the Charlotte
Observer, in a special to his paper
from Columbia, 5, c.. under date of
May 3oth. says:
Travelling over perfectly complet-
ed railroad line from Richmond to
Tampa, two rapidly moving through
trains evince the establishment Of the
Greater Seaboard. result of Southern
enterprise and capital, and destined
to be one of the most important fac
tors in the development of the South.
Excepting the resemblance to
triumphal procession to-day's journey
has been without especial incident.
At all stations enthusiastic crowds
gathered and cheered the South-bound
party. At Henderson, d. Y. Cooper
presented to the President and Vice
President letters from the Town Com
missioners and Chamber of Commerce,
congratulating them upon the COM
pletion Of the Greater Seaboard and
predicting its prosperity. Subsequent
ly these officers wired expressions of
thanks and appreciation. The guests
were greatly interested in the con-
tents of freight cars at Henderson,
which. showed that through Seaboard
solid car shipments Of tobacco are
continually on the move to Manila,
Delagoa Bay, Calcutta, Bombay,
South Australia, Cape Town and many
other foreign ports. The terminals
at Ridgeway and Hamlet were in
spected with interest. A large force
is busy rebuilding and improving the
yards at Hamlet. At all other points
there are signs of successful railroad
and industrial activity. AS with
magic wand the Seaboard seems to
have touched, walked and blessed the
whole length of country through
which we have passed to-day.
The following distances indicate
how the Greater Seaboard has short
ened travel in the South: From Wash
ington to Jacksonville, via Seaboard,
756; via Atlantic Coast Line. 1893; via
Southern, S2S. Washington to Tampa:
Via the Seaboard 95S; via Atlantic
Coast Line, l, O39, via Southern, ,O6S.
Richmond to Tampa: Via the Sea-
board S43; via Atlantic Coast Line,
923; via Southern, go. The total
length of the Greater Seaboard is q
600 miles, and every foot of the road
bed is in tip top condition.

Littleton Female College Commence
ment.

One Of the greatest commencements
the college has ever had has just
closed.
The elocution recital on Tuesday
evening was very fine.
The annual sermon on Wednesday
morning by DIR. w. W. Bays on The
Suffering of Christ and the Redemp-
ton of Woman was one of surpass-
ing eloquence and marvellous beauty.
We do not remember ever to have
heard anything equal it at any former
college commencement.
The address by DR.. Bumpass on
Wednesday evening before the Mis-
sionary Society made fine impress
sion. 1t was not only chaste and
scholarly but highly instructive.
The graduating essays on Thursday
morning were unusually fine, and the
pleasing and attractive manner in
which they were delivered is spoken
of by every one. They were in real
ity among the best we have ever
heard.
The literary address by DR.. S. A.
Steele was much enjoyed. He is
known throughout the South to be a
very fine platform speaker.
The annual concert Thursday even
ing was by every token great sue
cess. Those who took part acquitted
themselves in such a way as to reflect
credit on their instructors and on the
Institution.
President Rhodes reported the most
successful year and by very much the
largest attendance in the history of
The friends of Littleton Female

prospects were never brighter than
at this time and they are Justly proud
Of the good work she is doing.

Bold Thief and SWindler.

Mr.. T. A. Park, Mecklenburg coun-
ty, Va, tells us of a man who went to
his house lately to stay all night and
the trick he played on him and others.
The man represented himself to be in
the employment of a Philadelphia
mining company looking for certain
minerals in that part of the country.
He spent the night and next morn
ing insisted on leaving very early to
meet an important engagement but
before doing so he donned 4 suit of
clothes belonging to Nh Parks son,
putting on his own ones over them,
as was discovered afterward.
He beat an old negro woman in the
neighborhood out of $500 claiming
that for 5000 he would get her son
out of the Virginia penitentiary. AS
5000 was all she could raise he
took that saying he would trust her
for the balance. OF course it was a
clear case of swindle and the fellow
himself ought to be in the pen.
The man appeared to be about so
years old, dark complexion, square
built, height about 5 feet 10 inches,
weight probably $50 pounds Black
hair and mustache. Be on the look
for him. He may undertake to ''work'
thus in other communities.
