MCFARLAND FAvORITE IN
COMING BOUT WITH BRITT

San Francisco, April 7.-Packie Nc
Farland has been made a favorite in
the official betting on his go with Britt
next Saturday. Tom Corbett hung up
to 10 against the Chicago man and
even money against Britt, and the
same prices were laid in the pool
rooms near Colma.
1t is believed that these odds will
Huctuate somewhat, as the percentage
in favor of the books is usually much
greater on the coast. 1t is chiefly the
fact that conditions are regarded as
greatly favoring Mcfarland that he
has been made the choice. as Britt is
said to be in good trim.

NOTICE TO PATRONS
Henderson Lightning PowerC Co.
Henderson Water Co.

Henderson. N. c., May 20, 1908.
Notice is hereby given that ON and af-
ter June 1, 1908, water and lighting bills
will be presented by mail or in person,
only one time, and if not paid within ten
days thereafter, the service will be dis
continued.
Water bills are due and pay able in ad-
vance on the first days of January, April,
July and October OF each year and pay
ment must be made for the service OF that
quarter within the first ten days of the
quarter.
This rule is made because of the time
which it takes to collect the bills and
not on account OF any fear of loss, but in
order that our time may be devoted to
numerous other duties, the performance
OF which will improve and benefit the
service which we render to our custom
ers. It takes a very small part OF the
customers time to pay the bills, but fire.
quently takes one half day of two men
to see the party that pays the bill.
We thank you for your patronage and
trust that we may have your co-opera-
ton in this matter, and to assure you
that the rule is not made for any
arbitrary reason or because there is
only one water company or one lighting
company in the community. We supply
only small proportion of the lighting
and water consumed by the people. It
is in the interest of time and because of
the fact that every item of expense con-
nected with the service has to be paid for
before we present the bill to the custom
er. A charge of $1.OO will be made
whenever the service is disconnected for
non-payment of the bill before the SER
vice is resumed, and must be paid in
advance
Very Respectfully,
J.H. BRiDGERS,
Treasurer

Mr.. D. H. Gill Victim Of Unfort-
unate Accident.

Mr.. d. H. Gill was the victim of an
unfortunate accident Saturday morn
ing, as Il result of which he is in a,
hospital in Richmond with a bullet
in his body and his life in jeopardy.
1t appears that he had been ANNOYED
by IL dog eating his young chickens.
When he started to the field to pillow
Saturday morning, he put his pistol
in the 'front.' pocket of his overalls,
handle downward. The supposition
is that the pillow struck an obstruc-
ton throwing the handles violently
up, that the crossbar struck the
hammer of the pistol and caused it
to fire. The bullet struck Mr.. Gill
in the right side OF the abdomen and
ranged upward. (The injured man
does not know himself just how the
accident Occurred) He started to
the house short distance away and
called to his wife who reached him
Just as he got to the yard. He fell
to the ground and lost conscious
ness but rallied from the shock some
hours later. Physicians were sum-
moned and he received such treatment
as could be given him. 1t was de-
cided to take him to the hospital to
be operated on, and he was carried
to Richmond Sunday morning. The
operation was successfully performed
but the ball was not extracted. The
bullet in it's course upward cut
through a small point of the liver
but this is regarded as OF little con-
sequence. There was no perforation
OF the bowels, and the doctors say
they see no reason why any serious
complications should arise or blood
poison develop.
At last accounts the patient was
doing nicely and the doctors are
hopeful OF his recovery. The odds are
against him they admit but his
strong constitution is much in his
favor. Mr.. Gill says he is going to
get well-and those who know "Dave''
Gill know that he has the will power
and force, of character to do pretty
near what he says he is going to do.
His friends sincerely hope for his re-
covery and sympathize with him in
his suffering and misfortune. A good
and useful citizen the death of such d
man would be a great loss to the
community.

Business.

Watkins Hardware Company has
been moved to the Lassiter Building,
the transfer OF stock, Offices and
clerical force having just been made
No better place could be found for
the business. The building is large
and commodious (they occupy all
the stores and the entire upper floors)
and affords ample storage room.
Unloading direct from the ears at the
back doors is a great convenience
and a big saving in the handling of
stuff The location and construc-
ton of the building admirably adapt
it to the business of a wholesale
hardware establishment, and with
the intelligent, progressive manage
ment and capital behind it. the Wat
kins Hardware Company is destined
to rank with the leading concerns in
this section of the State.
Mr. Will T. Watkins will have i'm

Move Out.

This from an exchange is respect
fully submitted to the Pathfinder,
the chronic grumbler, the dissatisfied
with the place and people-if such
there be hereabOuts:
There is no reasonable excuse for
any man to live in a town if he
doesn't like it. If you have no word
OF commentator to say for your
town, its institutions Or people, en-
igrate. You won't stop the town
clock by going away. The church
bells will have the same musical ring,
the little dogs will play just the same
and the pure air, bright sunshine and
sparkling water will have the same
health-giving properties. Speak a
good word for your neighbors, if you
can; if you cannot, don't everlast-
ingly enlarge on their faults. If you
have become thoroughly disgruntled
move away; go somewhere where
things will suit you.
