Interesting Ceremonies.
Flag Raising and Bible Presentation
at Henderson Graded School Last
Friday-Patriohc and Inspiring
Occasion.

The flag raising and Bible presenta-
ton by Gold Leaf Council, No. 116,
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics, at the Henderson Graded
School last Friday afternoon, was
an interesting and inspiring occasion.
Ii there had been any misapprehen-
sion of what the Junior Order stands
for all who heard Mr.. z. P. Smiths
patriotic address and witnessed the
ceremonies incident to the occasion
have a better understanding now.
Following was the program:
Address-The Junior Order, Mr.. j C. Kittrell
Song School Chorus
Presentation of Bible. Mr.. j. T. B. Hoover
Acception of Bible. Prof J. 7. Alderman
Presentation OF Flag. z. P. Smith
Acceptlon OF Flag. L. I. Hicks
Raising of Flag
In the absence of DR.. +. X. Harris,
who as member of the Board was
to have accepted the flag on behalf OF
the School Trustees, Mr.. T. 7. Hicks
kindly consented to take his place
and we'll and worthily did he per-
form this pleasing duty.
The speeches were all very good,
breathing the spirit OF patriotism
and admonishing to civic pride and
virtue. Mr.. Smiths address was q
splendid effort. Nothing finer of the
kind has been heard in Henderson.
He is q vigorous and entertaining
speaker, his manner forceful, his Ian
guage ornate, his diction elegant.
Patriotic in sentiment, uplifting in
thought, inspiring in spirit, Mr..
Smiths speech measured up to the
occasion and delighted his hearers.
1t was red letter day for the Juniors
and fitting finale of the closing ex-
ercises of the Henderson Graded
Schools.
The Junior Order, about 30 strong,
attended in a body and occupied
seats on the rostrum. Miss Norma
Britt and Mr.:C. E. Pope again fur
nished music, their playing contrib
uting greatly to the enjoyment OF the
| exercises.

Sudden Death of w. J. Powell.

Mr.. Walter j. Powell died suddenly
at his place of business about half past
eleven o'clock Monday morning. He
had entered his store but a short
while before and was in the act of
taking a dose OF medicine when he
fell. A colored man was standing in
the door at the time and seeing Mr..
Powell fall he gave the alarm. When
persons ran in he was unconscious
and died a few minutes after he was
stricken. Acute Bright's disease is
given as the cause of death. He had
been sick for some time and during
the past few months his condition
was such that he was scarcely able to
attend to his business. 1t was ap-
parent to his friends that he was fail
ing rapidly but no one thought the
end SO near or that it would come as
suddenly as it did.
Walter j. Powell was a son of the
late B. |. Powell OF Henderson, and
was about 81 years of age. He con-
Quoted a jewelry store and repair
business, coming here from Warren
ton, where he was similarly engaged,
several years ago. He leaves wife
and one child. Mr.. and Mrs. Powell
had packed up preparatory to leaving
that night to spend some time at the
home of her father in Bladenboro.
But instead OF the joyous home going
with her husband as anticipated
she accompanied his remains to be
buried.
Funeral services were held at the
home Monday night previous to
sending the body off OH the South
bound train, Rev DR.. Nash conduct
ing the service.
Mr.. Powell was Mason, and an
Odd Fellow, and Mr.. Owen Davis,
who is himself a member Of both
these orders, accompanied the body
to Bladenboro.

The Wisdom of Animals.

You cannot induce q lower animal to eat
heartily when not feeling well. A sick dog
starves himself, and gets well. The stomach
once overworked, must have rest the same
as your feet or eyes. You don't have to
starve to rest your stomach. KODOL FOR
DYSPEPSIA takes up the work for your
stomach, digests what you eat and gives it
a rest Puts it back in condition again.
You..can't feel good with disordered stom-
ach. Try Kodol, at Parker's Two Drug
Stores
