General Wheeler.
New York Commercial.


A great soldier and an altogether
lOvable man passed into history when
General Joseph Wheeler died last
Thursday night. AS things civil and
military move in this day and gener-
alton it seems almost incredible that
he should have come out of the Con-
federate service q lieutenant general
at only tWenty-nine years of age.
But he was Il born fighter, II natural
leader, and trained tactician al
ready when Fort Sumter was fired on
i'll 1861; to his intense loyalty to the
cause of the South he added an ar
dent love for military achievement
so that the game of war was to him
Joy, n sort OF delightful recreation,
apart from it's serious side that he
never lost sight Of; his restless spirit
chafed under inaction-he must be
up and out and cat EN- and thus
it is easy to understand how he rose
rapidly in rank among officers of
longer service and OF supposedly high
er order of ability than his own. AS
Il cavalry commander his fame was
worldwide. 1t has been said of him,
too, that with the close of his last
campaign i'll the Philippines he had
participated in more pitched battles
during his career than any other mil
itary leader of modern times-some-
thing that is easily believable and,
if true, it is more than probable that
he was himself responsible for most
OF the pitching" History records
few Incidents better calculated to stir
the patriotic blood of whole people
and to compel universal admiration
than the spectacle OF this grizzled old
soldier of the gray modestlv Offer
ing his services to President Mckin-
ley in 1898, donning the "blue" that
he had fought so doggedly for four
years, buckling on his sword anew.
leaping into the saddle with all the
eagerness and ardOr of boy and
pressing forward impatiently to face
the enemy of his reunited country.
After that, no section of the country
could claim Joe Weller as it's own.
He was only an American and a pa
triOt-and great in both. His cOun-
try was proud and appreciative Of
him living, and sincerely mourns him
dead.

Atlanta, Ga. Physician Addresses the
People of Henderson on a Matter of
Health.

To Whom 1t May Concern:-Of late
there has been good deal of discussion
in regard to advertised medicines. their
value and power to cure
Il want to say to the people of Hen
derson that believe the most valuable
cod liver oil preparation. the best body
builder, health restorer. and strength
creator, known to medicine today is
Ninol.
while Einol does not contain the sys-
tem-ciogging Gil OF old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions, it actually does
contain all the curative, medicinal princi-
pies OF the Gods liver in highly cOncen-
trated form. and it is delicious to take.
Il advise Finolin my practice, and find
it has no equal for healing coughs, colds.
bronchial troubles and sore lungs
Il have used Ninol in many cases Of in
digestion, mal-assimilation, and for pa.
tients no were anaemic and run down,
with splendid results. have found Vinoi
to be a boon to the aged, as it aids the
enfeebled system to sustain life; it in
duces appetite. and restful sleep, it is q
real body builder, and thus prolongs life.
Il believe EinOl to be we'll worthy oil
any honest physicians endorsement"
Our local druggist, W. W. Parker, sells
Ninol to the people Of Henderson on a
positive guarantee; if it fails to give
satisfaction the entire purchase money
will be refunded.

1t is a shame and disgrace for the peo-
pie to treat telephone operators as they
do. For the last ten years l have been
in and around central telephone offices,
and know what the operators have to
contend with. / know that it is very
trying indeed to O subscriber to etand at
a phone and wait for Central to answer
it. But you must remember that the
operators are human, and cannot an
swer all at once They have thousands
OF people to accommodate daily. As q
general thing they have several to call at
once, and then have to answer one at q
time the operator being merely human,
az | aave said.
The ma Ority OF operators are ladies OF
the highest character, ladies whom our
country should be proud OF. And you
must remember that they are just as
good as your mothers and sisters, and
should be treated with the greatest re-
spect. They come to the Central Office
early in the morning and sit at the
switch board and work hard all day to
discharge their duty to the best OF their
ability. 1t is {: pleasure to them to &C.
commodate you and it should be appre-
ciated. They are polite to everybody
under all circumstances, and you should
be polite and courteous to them. But
there are some fools, (if you good readers
will excuse the expressiOn) who want
the operator to wait on them and only
them all the time. They think the opera
tor can answer all at once. They take
the operators to be fools, thieves. liars,
and every thing but ladies. And people
who do this are neither human nor
beast. When they want some one to
show them a favor, these same people
call on the operator, and the kind and
good operator will grant it, no matter
how hard it is, ii it is in her power to do
it.
In regard to long distance messages
some people think that an operator can
get New York, San Francisco and New
Orleans all at the same time, and in less
than a minute, whereas each message
has to go through a dozen Offices, each
one making a ticket OF each message. A
visit to the Central Office would prove
what have said. 1t is not just nor is 1t
humane for people to find fault with the
operator unless they know what they
are talking about.
Now when you call Central take into
consideration that the operator is an
swering people just as fast as she can
and that she will answer you as soon as
she can. And for our cOuntry's sake do
not ring the second time until you have
given her time to answer you. 1t is use
less and very annoying to the operator
for you to ring again before she has had
time to answer you.
Whose loveth instructions loveth knowl-
edge, but he that hateth reproof is british. y
am sure that you will get better ser
vice if you will heed the above.
A FRIEND TO THE OPERATORS.

EITHER BAD ENOUGH.

1t sounds a little strange that a
