oath. She had been in feeble health
a long time and was confined to her
bed about two months before she
died. although she did not suffer pain
Death wasFdue to a general break
down of the system eDcident to adj

way and she sank to rest as lii tie
child falls asleep. Mrs. Rowland WAS
one of the Oldest persons in town
having celebrated the S9th anniver-

was one of the best>women that ever

to know her was to love her for her
nobility of character and Christian

Should be Stopped.

Complaint is made of the crowds
that flock around and follow the po-
licemen whenever a person is arrested
and taken to the city Jail. This is a
menace, whether intentional or not,
to the peace and dignity of the town
and the officers in the discharge of
their duty, and ought to be stopped.
If there is no ordinance against it we
suggest that one, should be adopted
making the person SO offending liable
to arrest and Imprisonment, upon
failure to obey orders when warned
by the officers to dispense and cease
following them when they take pris-
oner under arrest.
So Besides attracting unnecessary at
tention, and sometimes creating ex-
element liable to bring on further
trouble, the police officers do not
know whether it is a demonstration
and threat or mere idle curiosity
actunting those who swarm around
and follow them, white and black,
little and big, being alike guilty OF
this sort of thing.
Let's have an end of such things or
jail every person who falls in behind
and folloWs the officers when they
make an arrest and take an offender
to the lookup.

Death of Mrs. w. D. Burwell.

In the midst OF the pleasures enci-
dent to Christmas the hearts of those
who knew her were profoundly sad
dened at the announcement of the
almost sudden death of Mrs. Walter
d. Burwell, which occurred at her
home in this place at half past two
O'Clock Wednesday afternoon, De-
cember 25th. Death resulted from
an acute attack of pneumonia her
illness being very brief She COM
planned somewhat of not feeling well
the day before and spent a portion
of the time in bed. But expecting
company that night she got up and
appeared bright and cheerful as
usual. About ten O'Clock she began
TO grow worse and later i'm the
night Il doctor was summoned.
Next morning her condition seemed
to be satisfactory and no serious APP
preheasion was felt although she was
quite sick. Both lungs became in
valued and the symptoms rapidly
grew worse until the end came within
a few hours after she was first taken
sick.
The death of Il good woman is to
be lamented at all times, but when
it comes at such Il time to one so
Joyous and full of life, it is doubly
sad. Mrs. Burwell was good wo-
man and will be greatly missed by
those who knew her. She loved her
home and her friends and delighted
to have them with her Of a cheer
ful and happy disposition herself she
did much to make those about her
bright and happy. Her home life
was ideal and from its portals there
radiated the spirit of neighborly
kindness, friendship and hospitality
for which her memory will long be
cherished by those who were priv
LEGGED to share it.
Mrs. Burwell was before her mar
riage Miss Lucy Sneed, daughter of
the late Mai. William Sneed, of Will
| liamsboro. She leavss one brother,
Mr.. r. q. Sneed, of Vance county.
and two sisters, Mrs. H. NJ. Nicely, of
Memphis, Tenn, and Mrs. Crawford
Hill, of Denver, Col.
| The funeral was held at 10 O'Clock
Thursday morning from the Episco-
pal church, Rev. j. E. lngle conduct
ing the service The body was taken
to WILLIAMSBURG and inferred in the
family burial plot at old st. Johns
| church.

Great Attraction Coming.

Buster Bcown, the successful must
cal comedy built around Outcault's
well known cartoon of that name,
will be seen at the Grand Theatre on
Friday, Jan. 18th, for the first time
in this city. This is an attraction
the merit and magnitude OF which is
not often seen in a place the size of
Henderson. and it was only by extra
ordinary effort that Manager Aron-
son was able to land it. For the
current season this play has been
equipped with an entirely new scenic
dress, new and elaborate costumes
together with popular songs that
are the latest and new music through
out. The cast, which is headed by
Jimmie Rosen as Buster, is said to
be by far the best of any one of the
many seen in the comedy Buster
needs no introduction, his face is too
we'll known and the mirth provoking
elements oil. the play have been too
thoroughly tried in other parts of
the country at least.

No town will become a good bust
ness center so long as it's business
men rely on few1nerchants to make

Too often the men in few lines Of
trade are about the only ones that
reach out after custom. Other mer-
chants wait until these men induce
the peOple4to come to town and con-
tent themselves with trade that nat
urally drift to their place. A public
