Here Inspecting the Work.

Mr.. Robert Lowe Peters, of Knox
vile, Tenn, who has the contract for
macadamizing the streets, is here this
week inspecting the work. He finds
it progressing satisfactorily and the
character of it conforming to con-
tract specifications. The contract
calls for eight inches OF crushed stone
put down in thorough and approved
manner. Some persons say the
work as done is nearer ten inches,
but of this we are not certain. This
much may be said, however, the
work is being done in tirst-class man
ner. Mr.. Peters has had long expert
ence in the business and has the repu-
tation of complying strictly with bis
contracts.
The work here is under the super
vision of Mr.. J. R. Gibson. He has
had Is years experience and thor
ouchly understands his business.
He knows how and having instruc-
lions from his "boss' to do his best,
Henderson can boast OF as good
streets as any town of its size whea
the work is finished.

He was hurt about the head and did
not recognize those about him only at
intervals. Mr.. Jones was we'll known

his faults he did not have any enemies.

4 Country Home Attractive to Young
PEOPLE,

f. p. Powell, whose New York farm
has become famous, writes in the
Country Calendar for August:
perhaps best of all, from every
stand point, has been my experience
with plant-breeding-that is, Great
ing new things and improving the
old. Calling the bees into alliance,
to thoroughly pollenize my flowers
and cross varieties in the garden and
orchard, l soon found that it was
possible not only to be a grower OF
what others had originated, but to
be plant-creator myself. And now
it has come about that my nine
acres are conspicuous for new fruits,
new vegetables and new flowers,
originated by hybridizing Hun
dreds OF new crosses have been
thrown away as not eminently ahead
of old sorts; but we have one cur
rant that stands in the bush third
larger than Fay, while the fruit is OF
the largest. OF four hundred varie-
ties OF beans originated, a half-dozen
crosses are of value to the world.
Seeding grapes include some ofgreat
promise; and the story is the same
with the berries of all sorts. How
ever, you will note that the chief ad-
vantage of this kind of work is that
it makes country home exceedingly
attractive to young people. 1t lifts
land tillage above every other sort of
occupation-unless it be direct inven-
ton in mechanics"

George A: Rose Company will be ad-
vised of the arrival of their new goods
and cordial invitation is extended
in advance to call and inspect them
and compare values and prices.
Mrs. Rose accompanied Mr.. Rose

fraternaI Week At State Fair.
Raleigh Evening Times.

halelgn Evening Times.
An event which should meet with
great favor and prove a great sue
cess is the idea Of Secretary Joseph
E. Pogue, to set aside Wednesday of
the fair week as Fraternal Day.
The idea is to get all the various
benevolent orders of the State TOGO
operate and make the day IL men,
orable one in the State of North
Corolina. 1t would bring together
hundreds OF Masons, Odd Fellows,
Pythians, Junior Order, Royal
Arcanum, and Maccabees from every
part OF the State who have never
had the pleasure of meeting each
other before.
On this day it is also proposed to
have as many orphans in the various
institutions to come to Raleigh and
visit the fair free of charge.
The idea of coure, is as yet in an
embryo state, but it is meeting with
such favor that it will no doubt be
worked out in detail and made the
biggest event OF the coming State
fair.
Secretary Pogue is already engaged
in the preliminary work of the fair
which is being mapped out on a lar
ger scale than ever. A great effort
will be made this year to make the
exhibits especially agricultural and
manufacturers products, surpass
anything in it's history.
Special attention will be given to
having a clean but large and attract
i've midway.
There will be free attractions and
the social features will not be neg
lected.

Increasing Sales of Buckhorn Lithia
Water.

SO great has been the demand for
BuckhOrn Lithia Water that it was
difficult to fill orders promptly the
past week or two owing to a lack of
empty bottles and cases. The COM
pany had 10000 bottles out which
emphasizes the necessity of custom
ers promptly returning all empties.
However, it is hoped that this diff
ficulty will not arise again. Another
car load of bottles and cases has just
been received and all orders will be
filled more promptly hereafter.
Wherever Buckhorn Lithia Water
is used it's reputation increases and
the demand grows. Its greatest field
is in Eastern North Carolina and
Tidewater Virginia, but shipments
are made to distant States and every
where it's use is accompanied by the
most satisfactory results.

Cheap and Durable Paint.

A correspondent of the Lexington
dispatch gives the following formula
OF a cheap and valuable paint which
he says will last for years. He has
tried it and knows whereof he speaks.
1t is superior to whitewash and al
most as good as ordinary "store''
paint. This preparation is said to be
the same as used by the government
in painting all its lighthouses and
similar buildings, the supposition be-
ing that it withstands the effects of
dampness better than regular paint.
The recipe is as follows:
Take half a bushel of fresh lime, put in
a barrel, add enough water to Just cover
it, cover with an old sack and let it slack
for few days. Then strain through a
coarse sack. Dissolve a peck of salt in
boiling water, strain it and add to the
lime water. Grind three pounds of rice
in coffee mill, boil it until it becomes a
paste and put that in the lime barrel.
Also dissolve two pounds of glue in water
and add to the contents OF the barrel.
Then add two pounds of Spanish Whit
ing and stir till the whole mass becomes
well mixed and it is ready for use Apply
with an ordinary whitewash brush. This
preparation should not be put on cold
but should be warmed-and old wash
pan full at time-and applied warm.
Continuing the Dispatch cores
pendent says:
Try this and the writer guarantees
q perfect white finish which will last
for seven or eight years-which is
longer than the usual store paint will
last. 1t will preserve the buildings
from decay and above all else will add
great beauty to homes which how
ever we'll built look badly because of
lack of paint. The writer has used
this paint and speaks from expert
ence.
The whole thing will not cost over
60 or Is cents and you can put it on
in short time and have a pretty
home where now perhaps you have a
weather beaten house with no out
side attraction at all. The prepara-
ton does as we'll on an old house as
a new one.
Any desired color may be obtained
by adding from one-half to one gal
Ion OF ordinary store paint.

HENDERSON SETS THE PACE.

Under the above heading the News
and Observer of the 9th editorially
said this OF the laying of
the new Graded School building in
Henderson:
Yesterday in Henderson the corner
stone of the new Graded School build
ing was laid with impressive ceremo-
MES, the Grafton being delivered 10y
Hon. Francis D. Winston, who spoke
on Mutual Helpfulness.' 1t is no.
where exhibited in so useful manner
as in providing adequate opportuni-
ties for securing education for all the
children of a community.
At a recent election upon the prop
osition to issue bonds to build a suit
able building upon the large central
ly located lot, only six votes were cast
against it, Under the wise supervis-
ion of Prof. J. T. Alderman, superin-
tendent, and the practical direction
OF board of trustees embracing some
of the first business men in Hender-
son, the Graded School has become
the pride of the town and it's most
useful Institution. Properly housed
it will do more good than ever.
In the news columns OF the same
paper giving an account of the exer
cises this appeared also:
The strong feeling for education in
Henderson for the best ofeducational
facilities is ably shown by the vote by
which the bonds for the school were
carried. The vote for these was an
overwhelming one, only six votes be-
ing cast against the proposition.
Henderson proposes to have a
graded school that will rank with the
best in the State. In charge Of it as
superintendent is Prof. j. T. Alder
man, one of the ablest of North Caro-
lima educators, and with him is a
Board of Trustees composed of the
best citizens, behind these being a
citizenry united in behalf of education.
Today can we'll be said to be one of
the best in the history of this city, for
it marks the realization ofthe wishes
Gifts people who have cheerfully voted
the funds to make today's events pos
sible. Henderson goes forward in all
good things, and it's new school build
ing will be its pride.
