Educational Entertainments at North
and South Henderson.

The Educational Committee OF the
Woman's Tuesday Club recently gave
very enjoyable entertainments at
South Henderson and North Hender-
son.
Beautiful songs were rendered by
Mrs. Corbitt and Misses Gilmore, Kelly
and Beveridge, accompanied on the
organ by Misses Dollje Smoot and
Florence Curren, and on the violin by
Miss Libbie Cooper. There were reci-
tations by Misses Gilmore and Cup
ton, and readings by Mrs. Horner.
On each evening the program was
followed by a talk by Prof. }. I;
Alderman of the Henderson Graded
Schools. These were listened to with
great attention and without doubt
will strengthen interest in the subject
of Education. Prof. Alderman is al
ways at home when Education is the
theme. On these occasions he spoke

other entertainments during the

Handsome Grocery Store.

R. B. Powell has long had the rep
utation of conducting one OF the
handsomest and most city like fancy
grocery stores to be found anywhere.
He has lately rearranged the stock
SO as to keep it in more uniform and
systematic manner, the effect OF
which has been to enhance the gener-
al appearance OF things as we'll as
display the goods to better advan-
tage. A very decided Improvement
has also been made in the lighting OF
the store. Mr.. Powell has just had
put in two clusters OF arcburst
lights, the best things the experience
and genius ofSuperintend'nt Bridgers
and Electrician Wordsworth could
devise for the purpose, and the most
brilliantly lighted place in town as
we'll as the prettiest store is also a
boast of the proprietor. Mr.. Powell
will not have anything but the best
He believes his customers are entitled
| to the best and he spares neither ef
fort nor money to give it to them.

Whose Horse :?

Mr.. RIP. Cunningham tells us OF
finding a dead horse in his pasture
and he is at loss to know where the
animal, an iron grey. apparently
We'll kept, came from. He was haul,
ed there, wagon tracks being found
coming from one direction and leav-
mo by another. The bars were let
down. the wagon crossed a branch,
left the path and went some distance
off and deposited the burden. No
one in the neighborhood owned such
a horse and Mr.. Cunningham thinks
the animal must have been brought
from a distance, but why, he does
not understand.

WORD TO PARENTS.
Send Your Children to SchnOEAad
Having Done This Assist Them With
Their Lessons-Don't Leave the
Teacher to do It All.

Elizabeth City Tar Heel.
Parents, this is for you. We do
not know whether YOU are accus-
toned to reading the editorials of
this newspaper or not. Ii you have
not made it practice to read our
editorials We want you to read this
one.
The month ofSeptemberi is q school
month, the month that children, in
this city blessed with nine months
school terms, get their books togeth-
er and go to school. Are your chill
dren among the number who will
enter one OF the several good schools
in Elizabeth City this fall? If they
are not whose fault is it?
This newspaper wants to impress
upon those few of it's readers who
may not too seriously consider the
matter of education the necessity of
keeping their children in school and
at their studies just as many months
IN the year as they can.
The time is when the world de-
mands educated workers in every
branch of industry. Without educa-
ton man is handicapped worse than
be who has no legs or no arms. You
who in an advanced age, hair white,
shoulders stopped, working at hard
labor for dollar day may appre-
ciate this fact. Send your children
to school.
When you have had them enrolled
in some good school see to it that
they study. Don't trust to their
teachers to see that they learn their
lessons. Lessons must be learned
out OF school hours. A teacher has
no control over the pupil out o.
school, See that your children pre-
pare their lessons nights. Help them
take an interest in them and try eacl
night to impress upon them how
much the little things they learn eacl
day will count in after years whel
they must get out from under thu
parental roof and work for their owl
bread each day. Send your children

Opening Of Henderson Graded School:
Monday, September nth, 1905.

1t is very important that all pupils be
present at the opening OF the term. Lost
time at the beginning will affect the
progress and thoroughness of the pupils
recitations and examinations during the
whole year. The pupil will be discour,
aged and the teacher will be hampered
from the disjointed conditions which will
necessarily exist if part OF the lessons and
teaching have been passed over before
the pupil enters the classes. Pupils can
not as a rule do the work of nine
months term in five or six months:
Promotions depend upon efficiency and
not upon the closing of a school year
The schools will be opened in the old
buildings We will move into the new
buildings as soon as they are completed.
