Resolutions of Regrets.

Inc following paper was unanimously
adopted at meeting of the Pastors
Association of Henderson. held on July
Elst, 1907:
lnasmuch as the news has come to us
that Rev. J. Fl. Henderlite, of the Hen
derson Presby terrain church, has been
called to d new field of labor, and that
he is SO soon to leave Henderson for
fredericksburg, Va, we therefore express
to him our sincere regrets that he is so
soon to leave us.
We assure him that our association
with him has always been the most
pleasant. We appreciate most keenly
his cheerful disposition. his high moral
stand and his Christ-like character as
manifested in his daily life and conversa-
ton among u.s. We shall miss him on
the streets and in our meetings and in
our efforts to advance Christ's cause in
our town.
While we shall miss him here we pledge
him our prayers that God may richly
bless him and his in their new field, and
do most earnestly ask his prayers in our
behalf as We still try to labor in this
field. We trust that it may still be our
pleasant privilege to meet with him oc-
casionally while on these mundane
shores; but if that pleasure is not
granted us we confidently expect to meet
with him in the bright beyond to spend
a happy eternity in the presence of Him
whose we are and whom we serve.

THE ARLINGTON,
Virginia Beach, Va.

Situated directly on the Atlantic ocean,
200 feet from the surf, 45 minutes from
the Exposition grounds, with electric
cars passing the house at short intervals,
offers most delightful headquarters to
exposition visitors. The exposition dur
ing the day offers opportunities for in
formation and pleasure never again to
be found at any exposition, while the
Arlington at night affords complete rest
to the tired traveller amongst a combi-
nation of attractions found nowhere else
on the Atlantic coast.
Standing on the broad piazza, watch
ing the sun rise at sea, or looking west
over the great pine forest, one expert
ences great sensation never to be for
gotten. The balsamic odor Of the pines,
together with the tonic of the sea, pro-
duces health and vigor not found at any
other resort in the United States.
The management makes no secret OF
the fact that it regards the gratifying
success enjoyed by the Arlington as due
to the enviable reputation it has SO con-
sistently built up. 1t takes a pardon
able pride in the refinement and distinc-
ton of it's clientele, and in it's established
reputation for catering only to persons
of discrimination and breeding. Home
like accommodation. First class service.
Reasonable rates. American and Eu-
ropean plan No extra charge for bath
ing privileges. W. j. Wright, Manager.

sharp curve the rear trucks OF one of

seated short distance in the rear of
her husband and little eight year old
daughter, and when she realized that
something was wrong she got up and
attempted to reach the side of her
husband and little daughter. As she
did SO the coach made a sudden lurch
and she was thrown violently
through the window and caught
under the car as it rolled over None
OF the other passengers were serious
ly hurt. The other Pullman was de-
rallied but did not turn over.

making this his headquarters for
awhile. The little girl was put in
school here and after Mr.. Harris
work took him further South Mrs.

until school closed, when she again
Joined her husband, then making
Aberdeen his headquarters. Mrs.

and made many warm friends during
her stay in Henderson.
They were returning from a trip to
the jamestown Exposition to their
temporary home in Aberdeen when
the shocking accident occurred. 1t
was known to anumber of her friends
that Mrs. Harris was to pass through
Sunday and they came out and
waved her friendly greetings as she
stood on the rear platform of the
coach, while others met her at the
station and passed a few words of
pleasant conversation with her.
Imagine the shock when the mes
sage came Of the distressing accident
so soon afterwards
