Frivolous Forty.
Much of the dizziness WHICH afflicts
us in society just now is due to the
extreme seriousness of the younger
generation. 1t is only the women
over 40 who seem able to frivol. The
others are interested in politics, phi

Not MIR. Sam T. Green.

The sad accident in Petersburg re-
suIting in the death of Capt. Sidney
+. Green, as stated in these columns
last week, seems to have confused
him in the minds OF many Henderson
people with Mr.. Sam T. Green, and
we have been asked by several If it
was "our" Mr.. Green who was killed.
The similarity of names and the fact
that both men had lived in Henderson
accounts for it. Mr. Sam Green was
the better known of the two he hav-
ing lived here much longer. They
were not related. Mr.. Sam Green
lived in Henderson about nine
years previous to being transferred
to the Atlanta and Birmingham divis-
ion of the Seaboard residing now at
Cedartown, Ga. 1t has been several
years since Mr.. Sidney Green was To-
Gated here as yard master. position
which he held about Is months. and
he had married since and was living
in Raleigh at the time of his death

Not as Bad as First Reported.

The accident recently sustained by
Mr.. Charlie Loughlin turns out to be
not SO bad us first reported. 1t was
his thigh and not his hip that was
broken, the trouble being of less
serious nature, although had enough
as it was. Our account was that Mr..
Loughln fell from the trapeze while
performing TO this the Young man
somewhat objects a. tending to
create the impression that he WAS
less expert and proficient asanartist
than his standing gives him among
the profession. He did not fall from
the trapeze while performing. and the
accident was due to no clumsiness or
carelessness on his part. After he
had finished his act he was descending
from the trapeze by means of the
webbing by which he had assembled
climbin" overland, when it broke
and precipitated him to the ground.
The accident was due to the assistant
pulling too hard on the webbing
causing it to break At last ac-
counts Mr. Loughlin was getting
along very wei! and hopes soon to be
himself again.

Keeping Up With the Times.

they are ready to give it IA trial and
adopt it If it is found to be an i'm
provement upon what they already
have The latest and best thing to
offer their customers Is the Tungsten

that has Vet been made i'll electric

lamp has all the brilliancy of acety

against 16, the ordinary standard

Is candle power lamps-while the
amount ofelectricity consumed is but
little greater. The initial cost OF tue
new lamp is more but its lasting
quality is SO much greater, TO say
uothing of the higher efficiency, that
it is vastly cheaper in the end. The
Tungsten lamp will last from
500 to 800 hours-an average OF
1000 hours, say-as against 400
hours for the standard l6 candle
power lamp. And it will retain the
same clear white light to rhe end
does not blacken and get dull like
tue other lamps.
. The Tungsten lamp is II German
product and it is only within com
parativelv recent tim" that it has
been perfected and put upon the mar
ket in this country. But they are be-
coming more generally adopted wller
ever introduced. The Henderson
Light and Power Company was
among the first to introduce them

follow The postoffice is the latest
place to adopt them the beautiful
light so much commented on there

which took the place of the same

very little additional cost to the

We predict that as soon as per-

to know about this wonderful new
lamp Messrs. Bridgers and Wood
