Barnum & Bailey Show Coming.

The town has been billed announc-

Bailey Greatest Show on Earth"
AS is well known this show does not
make the smaller towns and it is only
by mere force of circumstances that
Henderson gets it. The Jump from
Portsmouth to Raleigh being SO
great it was necessary to break the
run, hence this greatest of all amuse-
ment aggregations will pitch its tents
for the first, and possibly the last,
time in Henderson. The show will be
here in November, about the 18th or
10th.

Mrs. J.W. Coodson Dead
The End Came Unexpectedly at Her
Home in Kinston Sunday Morn

The sad tidings of the death of
Mrs. j. W. Goodson, at her home. in
Kinston, ut 10 O'Clock Sunday morn
ing, carried sorrow TO the hearts of
many persons in Henderson who
knew and loved her well. Mr.. Good
sonliveG in Henderson several years
ago, being engaged in the tobacco
business, and his wife and children
spent one summer here with him.
Both had many friends among our
people who feel a sense of personal
bereavement at the sad visitation
that has taken the beloved wife and
mother from this happy home. Their
Oldest daughter, Miss Mamie Good
son, visited friends in Henderson only
few weeks ago and shortened her
stay to go home and be with her
mother who had just returned from
a hospital in Baltimore. Mrs. Good
son had been operated on for appen-
dicitis and was apparently getting
on very well when hemorrhagic fever
complicated with other diseases de-
velOped and this terminated her life.
The body was taken to Durham
and buried Monday afternoon. The
funeral was held from Trinity Metho-
dist church, Dr. R. c. Beaman con-
Quoting the service, assisted by Dr. j.
&. KilgO and DR.. E. A. Yates.
We take the following from the
Durha M Sun:
Mrs. Anna Walker Goodson was a good
and lovable Christian woman, and was
40 years OF age. She was the youngest
daughter OF the late Rev. and Mrs. Alex
Walker, and for number of years was
a most efficient member of the Durham
Graded School faculty and also did school
work in Kinston.
On the 18th of December, 1882, she
was united in marriage to Mr.. j. W.
son, OF Caswell county, who at that
time had come to Durham to reside. and
lived here until about three years ago,
when the family moved to Kinston. OF
this union there are three children, Will
Lex, Mamie and Margaret, who mourn
her loss with a devoted husband. Be-
sides these she leaves four brothers and
three sisters, who apRfagain called upon
to feel the heavy ham Of affection.
Mrs. Goodson was one of our most
fOndly loved ladies. With bright smile
and cheering words for all with whom
she came in contact, she had tenderly
and firmly entwined the tendrils of love
and affection around their hearts-both
in Kinston, and in this city, where she
lived many years and was so long en-
gagged in graded school work, for which
she was SO eminently fitted. In her de-
mise the Death Angel removes one for
whom life apparently held SO much. The
whole of Durham mourns her death, and
it's great sympathetic heart goes out to
the bereaved husband, children and rela
tives
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are Ger,
On the border land we left her.
Soon to meet and part no more.
Far beyond the world of changes
Far beyond this world OF care,
We shall find our missing loved one.
