Methodist Protestant church in Hen
derson, has been sent by his Con-
ference to Pinnacle, near Pilot
Mountain, and he leaves this week

his going away. He is a man OF
deep piety and consistency, of genial
nature and broad human sympathy
and makes his impress for good in
any community where he is thrown.

Mr.. Kennett's passionate. More than
one-eighth of the present member
ship has been received into the church
during this time and there has been
a financial as we'll rs spiritual growth,
The salary OF the pastor has been in
creased and larger contributions

deep and general regret here. His church
has prospered under his pastoral care,
more members being added than in any
other pastorate. He has won the con-
fidence and regard of the entire town by
his high Christian character, his broad
and fraternal spirit and his devotion to
the best standards of ministerial con-
duet

ITO Whom it May Concern: OF late
there has been great deal of discussion
in regard to advertised medicines, their
value and power to cure
Il want to say to the people of Hen
derson than believe the most valuable
cod liver oil preparation. the best body
builder, health restorer and strength
creator known to medicine today is
Vinol.
sWhile Vinol does not contain the sys-
tem-clogging oil OF old-fashioned cod
liver oil and emulsions, it actually does
contain all the curative medical princi-
pies of the Gods liver in highly concen-
trated form, with tonic iron added, and
it is delicious to take.
II advise Vinol in my practice, and
find it has 20 equal for healing coughs,
colds, bronchial troubles and sore lungs
81 have used Vinol in many cases of
Indigestion, mal-assimilatiOn, and for
patients who were anaemic and run
down with splendid results. l have also
found Vinol to be a boon to the aged.
81 believe Vinol to be we'll worthy of
any honest physicians endorsement
We sell VinOl to the people of Hender-
son on an offer to refund money if it fails
to benefit. ". W. Parker, Druggist.
Worthwhile we are~sole agents for
Vinol in Henderson. it is now for sale at

reason they will not consider any
cause whatever for delay in delivery

1t was the writer's privilege to attend
the exercises OF the first grade children,
under the capable management of the
teacher, Miss Birdie Watson, on Nov.
18th. Neat little invitations had been
issued, and promptly at the appointed
hour, a number OF the parents and friends
of the little folks assembled i'm the pri-
mary room.
First there was an exhibit of pencil
and tablet work, drawing, etc, which
showed that careful training had accom-
plished well-nigh wonderful results in a
few weeks. One drawing deserves spe-
cial mention, this was battleship with
mounted cannon, and the artist was
emily six years old. Hiawatha was then
recited followed by several other recita-
tiOns and songs, all OF which delighted
the audience. One little girl OF six told
i'll her own language the story OF Little
Golden Locks" in a charming manner.
Miss Watson then explained her meth
cd OF teaching phonics, after which fol-
lowed the most interesting feature of
the occasion, the exercises in physical
culture, accompanied by selections on
the piano by the teacher
Each one present went away with the
assurance that the first grade children
are intrusted to one who is giving the
best training to the minds and hearts OF
the little ones, whose sweet faces were
al inspiration to those present on that
occasion.
