WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

As a citizen of Henderson. YOU nat
urally want to see the town grow and
prosper As a business man you
wish to enlarge your trade and in
crease your income. What are you
doing to further either object?
1t is not the question OF having a
superior stock of merchandise, or
having an attractive geographical
location. which brings a merchant
plenty of customers, or brings in
those who will build up city.
There must be well defined, intel
ligent and determined policy in either
case to bring success.
And the success is not won through
doing nothing, but in reaching after
everything of profit, and that in a
most energetic manner.
No merchant, no community can
stand idly by itself.
The question for us to consider IS
not so much whether Henderson pos
sesses every natural advantage, hence
outside men and outside capital
must come here. but it is whether we
have business sense and wit enough
to secure the trade to which the posi-
ticn OF the town, in it's location and
its importance as q commercial and
manufacturing centre, is Justly en-
titled.

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and Better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with. can be
prevented by the use OF Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always re-
suits from a cold or from an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been OBJ
served that this remedy counteracts any
tendency OF these diseases toward pneu-
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence OF colds and grip in recent
Years. and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
BE on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold
is contracted. 1t always cures. For

which the Greensboro Record, says is
his latest and best invention. 1t is Il
surgeons aseptic knife, made by
Geo. Tiemann & Co.. of New York.
The Record says:
This knife prevents blood poison
of a wound AS the cut is made III
the flesh, an antiseptic fluid flows
down from the handleOver the blade,
and annOints both sides Of the cut
This antiscptic fluid is anfesthetic,
hemostatic and styptic; it relieves
all pain, stops the flow OF blood and
when the edges of the wound are
brought together they adhere firmly
together. The fluid used in this
knife has been used in thousands of
cases and is acknowledged to be
without an equal. Eminent sur
geOns in New York and here at home
in North Carolina pronounce this
