NOW FOR THE SHOW.
The Great Rhoda Royal to Exhibit in
Henderson Next Tuesday, Said to be
One of the Best of its Kind Now on
the Road.

One of the happiest holidays in the
life OF the little folks is show day.
And no matter how old one may live
to be he never entirely outgrows the
early impressions Of youth and the
love OF the performance in the saw
dust ring. How the annual comings
OF the circus are looked forward to.
They may all be built on the same
plan but there is ever newness and
a novelty about them, just as there is
about the railway train, no matter
how often we have seen the same
thing before. And so when the walls,
fences and sides Of houses and news
papers announce the coming of the
show we all begin to look forward to
the day with pleasurable anticipations
and save up our dimes and quarters
for the necessary ticket or tickets.
From all we can learn Henderson is
to have one of the best shows next
Tuesday, our people have yet had the
pleasure of witnessing. 1t has many
new and novel features unknown to
other shows and must be seen to be
properly appreciated. Don't forget
the daV and date.

KINDNESS REMEMBERED.
"UncIe Scrap" Green Sends General
Bennett II. Young Couple of Beau
tiful Canes in Appreciation of Cour-
tesieS Extended.


At the late reunion of the United
Confederate Veterans in Louisville,
Ky, Gen. Bennett H. Young, among
others, was especially active and
alert in looking after the comfort and
pleasure of visitors, the North Caro-
lima veterans being especial objects of
his courtesy and kindness. One of
these latter was Sergeant w. r. Green,
of Henderson. In token of his per-
sonal esteem and appreciation of Gen.
Young's kindness he made couple of
beautiful walking canes which he sent
the General with his compliments.
The following letter which has been
received in reply explains itself:
LAW OFFICES BENNETT H. YoUNG,(
LOUISVILLE, KY, Oct. 16. 1900. I
COL. W. X. GREEN,
Henderson. \. {.
My DEAR COLONEL:-I received yours OF
Oct. 18th, and the beautiful canes have
also been received; beg to offer you my
sincere thanks for your great kindness in
this matter
The consciousness that | could do any
thing to serve my old Confederate friends,
anu particularly UIle COUleueTGCeS Vi
North Carolina, who won on the battle
field such imperishable renown, is a
source of profound qualification.
l shall give one of the canes to one OF
the Confederates who was kind to the
North Carolinians when here, with your
compliments.
With renewed assurances of my great
regard and undying admiration for the
Confederates of your State, am.
Yours truly,

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized world.
Your mothers and grandmothers' never
thought of using anything else for 1ndi-
gestiOn or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
failure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
ton OF undigested food, regulate the &C.
ton OF the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need a few doses of Green s
August Flower, in liquid form, to make
matter with you. For sale by the Dorsey
Drug Co.

Another Teacher Employed.

The growth of the Graded School
that is to say the increased attend
ance-has made it necessary to en-
ploy another teacher. The two pri-
mary grades have been divided and
third grade established. For want
of room to accommodate this extra
grade the Episcopal Sunday-school
building has been rented and an adj
ditional teacher employed. Miss Jessie
Page, sister of Mrs. F. r. Harris, is
the new teacher. She comes of a
talented family and is herself a young
lady of rare accomplishment and skill
in the school room and will doubtless
be strong addition to an already
singularly strong faculty. Miss Page
entered upon her duties this week.
Mrs. w. D. Horner remains as sub
stitute and has been put upon stat
ed salary instead of being paid only
for the actual time occupied as here
tofore-a better and more satisfactory
arrangement all around it is thought.

Death of an Infant,

The infant child, a little boy, of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. T. Green died about
eight O'Clock Sunday night, aged a
little more than three weeks. Not
strong from the first it had suffered
greatly for several days and it was
apparent to all that it could not live.
The little life had spanned but a
brief space Of earthly existence and
yet in that time the hearts of the hope
full young parents had been drawn
closely about this frail human flower
and 1t was with sorrow and anguish
That they saw it fade and pass away.
The little white casket, covered
with beautiful flowers, was borne to
the train Monday where it was taken
to Margarettsville and tenderly laid
away in the traditional burying
ground of the mothers family, near
that place.

was riding along the road near Amos
Mill when he saw the dog run across
the road ahead of him apparently hav-

Smith called him and recognizing his
voice the dog stopped and ran to him.
1t was clear case of accidental good
luck and which was the gladder to see
the other would be hard to tell. Sher-
if Smith valued the dog very highly
would not have taken 1925 for him in

clown Topics"

Henderson theatre-goers remember
with pleasure the presentation OF
that, bright, breezy comedy, Town
Topics" here last season. And they
will hail with delight its coming
again. 1t is said for this premier OF
merry-makers that it is different in
general, and in one respect IN partlcu-
Tar. from other farce comedies, in that
it furnishes much merriment OF
wholesome. genuinely funny charac-
ter, without single vulgar or sugges-
tive song or dance. So nobody how
ever morally strict they may be, can
be shocked in any way. The scenes
and incidents are crowded with anus
ing mistakes. witty sayings, tuneful
songs, picturesque dances by young
and pretty women, and other features
that catch the popular fancy. ms
is the secret of its success with all
classes of theatre-goers who prefer
farce comedy to any other KIND OF
amusement at the theatre, where they
rather laugh all the time than THINK
ont plots. Town Topics" don't re-
onire mental labor. All its patrons
need to do is to watch and listen
closely to the riotous fun making
and laugh.
