Fine Play Produced by Home Talent

"The Union Station" the admira-
BILE entertainment given at the Grand
Theatre Thursday night, was one of
the best things that has been present.
ed i'll Henderson by local talent In
program SO varied where so many
took part it is impossible to particu-
larize and bestow praise where praise
is due. The parts were we'll taken
and all did well. The ladies under
whose auspices the entertainment
was gotten up and the young peo-
pie who took part in it deserve great
credit for the very pleasing success
they made of it and the rare enjoy
ment afforded those who witnessed
the performance.

Letter to R. H. Switzerland.
Henderson, n. c.

Dear Sir: We asked City Drug Co.,
Crystal Springs, Miss. to sell Devoe. They
wanted to know, OF their own knowl-
edge, how it compared with another
paint they knew all about-it was sold
right there, and considered good.
They painted the house OF w. b. Nc
Cluney two coats on purpose to test the
two paints against one-another: one
coat Devoe 6 gallons; the other coat
that other paint 10 gallons. Difference
500, 81 for paint, $13 for labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an excel
lent paint, and has a good deal OF local
good will.
But the standard of paint has been low
all through the southwest. That paint
is thin: it is, you see, six-tenths OF a
paint. Devoe saves $50 over it en- hall
small job. -,
1t is a case of local best compared with
actual best.
Yours truly.

Reading Aloud.
Medical Talk

Medical Talk
There is one form of entertainment
and instruction which is within the
reach of every home-reading aloud
from some good book, magazine and
newspaper. 1t may be funny story
or an interesting romance, a good
sermon Or a bit of news,-anything,
everything, just so the hearers are
edited, instructed or amused.
The one who can read best at first
had better do the reading, the rest
sit around and listen. After dinner,
in the evening or at any. other time
tits convenient. But sooner or later
every one should take turn at the
reading.
The world is full OF excellent read
inAmagazines. Books are very cheap.
The father or mother who has quit
reading such things can do no better
than to join this reading circle. A
dash of romance won't hurt anyone.
No more beautiful or inspiring
sight can be imagined than family
gathered around in circle, one mem
her reading 1t is instructive to the
ones who listen and an excellent de-
velopment to the one who reads. To
read we'll and fuently is the highest
form of accomplishment. 1t can only
be acquired by constant practice
of reading aloud just IA little every
day.
Where father and mother, daugh-
ter and son, laugh together at the
same amusing anecdote or are touch.
ed with sympathy by some pathetic
story-where such things occur hap
piness and prosperity are certain to
be found.
Better than the theatre, more con.
ducive to home fraternity and har
mony than the most brilliant lecture
"a home reading circle. Read some
thing that is interesting to all con
cerned. 1t is a habit very easily
formed, the value (which can scarce
| ly be overestimated.

No wonder scores of Henderson
citizens grow enthusiastic. 1t is
enough to make anyone happy to
find relief after years of suffering.
Public statements like the following
are but truthful representations OF
the daily work done in Henderson
by Doan's Kidney Pills.
J. P. Hayden, Garnett ST., Hender-
son, N. c., says: 81 am pleased to
give testimonial in behalf of Doan's
Kidney Pills as from personal ex-
perience, l know them to be worthy
of it. For a long time my kidneys
we're disordered and I was caused
much annoyance by frequent de-
sire to void the secretions. also had
severe pains through my back and
loins and often after sitting in one
position for some time | would be
hardly able to arise. l used plast-
ers and liniments but they only af-
forded me slight relief and when |
read about Doan's Kidney Pills, l
concluded to try them, procuring a
box at Kerner- MacNair Co.'S drug
store They banished the lameness
from my back, regulated the action
of the kidneys and restored the kid
ney secretions to their normal con-
dition. Doan's Kidney Pills proved
of more benefit to me than any RENE
dy had previously taken"

er, and like many of the craft, the
vicissitudes through which he passed
would make an interesting volume.
His death was due to paralysis,

ment in his speech.
But, poor fellow, he has reached
the end of his last line, his matter
with this world has been adjusted
and his form is now locked in the
silent embrace of Deaths Enbroken

have three OF my teeth pulled, when
a friend recommended me to buy
twenty-fve-cent bottle of Sloan's
Liniment. l did SO and experienced

it until the neuralgia was entirely
cured. I will never be without bot

The trouble with most public
speakers is that they see things only
through their own glasses. We may
talk about principle, but a mans
business is his politics; when he gets

his business is politics and he jumps

The town election Monday was a
very quiet affair-altogether lacking
in the elements OF interest and excite
ment. There was no opposition and
the incentive to get out and whoop
it up for ones favorite candidate
was absent. As stated last week
would doubtless be the case the old
commissioners were renominated at
the primaries held in their respective
wards, and at a mass meeting held
Friday night MayorSoutherland was
unanimously nominated to succeed
himself. This will make 16years that
he has served continuously in that
ofice-a fact that carries it's own
comment as to how we'll he has served
and the estimation in which the peo-
pie hold him who have elected him
year after year. 1t is tribute in
deed OF which any man would have
cause to be proud and Mayor South
erland appreciates very deeply the
respect and confidence shown in the
continuous honors paid him.
