Burglary Last Night.

Burglars are operating in this town.
j. W. Beck's meat market was raided
last night and the iron safe broken
open and robbed. An entrance was
effected into the building through the
front window. The safe was closed
but not locked but the burglars did
not know this and broke it open with
a cold chisel and crow bar They got
about $50 Mr. Beck made deposit
in the bank during the day and the
haul was not large in consequence.
They went into Ham Falkner's
store, next door, also. A pane of
glass was broken out of the back
window, the fastening released and
the window raised. Here they did
not get anything of value. About
forty pennies, some cheroots, sar-
dimes and few other articles,
amounting to probably two dollars
worth, were all that the proprietor
missed in summing up his loss.

Offers Elected,

The formation of a new company
TO manufacture carriages and sur
reys has been mentioned in these col
umns. A site has been selected and
the following named officers elected:
President,-A. c. Zollicoffer.
ENTHUSIASTICALLY. A. Hunt.
Treasurer, J. B. Owen.
Secretary and General Manager,-
r. J. Corbitt.
Directors,-R. J. Corbitt, w. w.
Rowland, w. A. Hunt, S. S. Parham,
j. T. Taylor, A. C. Zollicoffer, ]. B..
owen, l.. K. Gooch, C. H. Turner.
The company has been Incorporate
ed under the laws of North Carolina.
Capital stock $4,000. with privilege
of increasing to 100000. The bust
ness OF the corporation is to manu-
facture high-grade carriages, surreys,
traps and phntons.
The new factory will be located on
the Seaboard Air Line Railway. below
the coal chute, within $50 yards of
the Corbitt Buggy Company's plant,
on a lot purchased from j. H. Brodie.
They will commence to erect the
buildings at once. Size of the main
building will be 6Ox2OO feet, another
4Ox1OO and third 2Ox5O.
Speaking with Mr.. Corbitt abont
the business Of the Corbitt Buggy
Company he tells us the outlook is
encouraging every way. They are
getting plenty orders and opening
up new territory all the time. They
expect to get out 5000 open and top
buggies this year. An automatic
sprinkler system has just been in
stalled throughout the factory for
protection from fire. Rock is being
hauled and the foundations dug for
the new addition, 6Ox2OO feet which
will give the plant much greater
capacity.
The Corbitt Buggy Company is
really a much bigger concern than
most persons realize who have not
been through it. They are paying
out $4,000 a year in salaries and
wages, which goes into the channels
OF trade here at home.

Runaway Marriage.

Henderson is getting to be quite a
resort for runaway couples who wish
to get married despite parental OBJ
jections. The latest to HE themselves
hither to have the nuptial knot tied
were Mr.. Richard F. Shanks, of Peters
burg, and Miss Bertha B. Eastwood,
of Warfeld, Va. Monday they came
to Henderson, accompanied by
Messrs. t. NJ. and R. NJ. Young,
friends of the groom, and after pro-
curing necessary license the young
lovers were united in marriage by
Justice of the Peace T. L. Jones. The
ceremony was performed in the office
OF Register OF Deeds X. W. Edwards,
in the presence OF a small company
of interested spectators, after which
kilograms were sent to the folks at
home and the newly married pair
went their way rejoicing. Mr.. and
Mrs. Shanks spent the afternoon and
evening in town and left on the night
train for Petersburg their future
home.

A Cool Suggestion.

Ever progressive and catering to
the wishes of it's patrons the Hender-
son Electric Light and Power Com
pany make an announcement in our
advertising columns which will be OF
interest to the public. They offer to
operate a day current and furnish
electric fans during the summer, pro-
vided as many as fifty customers can
be secured on fat rate contract of
T12 per season of four months. The
best type oftwelve inch desk fan with
cord and attaching plug will be sup
Piled at $13 each-tO either meter or
fat rate customers.
1t is to be hoped that sufficient
number OF patrons may be secured
to justify the company in supplying
a day current. Such a thing would
prove a great convenience and no
doubt many small motors would be
employed to furnish power for vari-
GUS purposes.

ing to two excellent papers, one by
Rev. |. N. Loftin on "The Moral
Status of Mill Settlements, and one
by Prof. j. T. Alderman on "The
Character and Wit ofFalstaff. Both
papers were worthy of the authors
and that of Mr.. Loftin evoked con-
siderable discussion. The evening
spent in the hospitable home of Mr..
Ioepleman was greatly enjoyed and
the occasion was both edifying and
instructive to the members.

Painfully Injured.

Mrs. James Finch, an aged lady
who lives in the country, sustained a
serious accident Saturday as she was
leaving town in a buggy. The horse
became frightened and ran into a
ditch. Two other occupants jumped
out while Mrs. Finch was thrown for
ward over the spatterboard. The
horse kicked and struck her in the
face two or three times, breaking the
jaw badly. At first it was though t
that she was fatally hurt. The in
jured lady was taken to the home OF
MIR. D. W. Hardee and given the neces-
sary surgical attention. She has sui
fered much in consequence of her in
iuries but at this writing she is get
ting along very we'll and her final re.
covery seems to be only aquestion OF
time.

Letter to Dr.. f. A. Macon.
Henderson, n. {.

DEAR SIR: But few of the men who sell
the hundred different paints in the mar
ket know much about them. All Devoe
agents have a state chemists certificate
telling just what it 8 made of; they know
a good deal, not only about Devoe, but
the rest; we see that they do. We buy
every paint that has any sale and analyze
it. Our agent finds out all about'it.
When we know what paint is made
of we know how it will act; we know
how far it goes and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100. The
best of the rest is about rs; the worst
about %; the rest are between.
But the men who sell them don't know
any better. They know what the maker
tells them. That is, they know that he
tells them. They don't know whether he
tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on knOw[
edge; the less they know the more COM
Portable they are.
Yours truly.
