suitors for Mrs. smith.
No woman is arousing more interest here
at the moment than Mrs. James Henry
Smith. She has discarded her widows
weeds and is looking festive and comely.
II her own words are to be believed she
never intends to remsrry. Nevertheless
people who know her best say when the
right man comes she will accept him so
quickly that It will take his breath away.
suitors by the dozen are hanging around

Of Lord Londonderry and a great friend OF

in love with Margsretta Drexel, Mrs.

Mrs. Smith has lately expressed II that

To add to my lady's difficulties she must
also cultivate a new walk. The worst OF

Mr.. Lassiter Goes to Charlotte.

Mr.. Robert Lassiter has located in
Charlotte where he has associated
himself with important interests in
the cotton manufacturing business.
From the Charlotte Observer ofrecent
date we take the following:
Mr.. Robert Lassiter, a former resident
OF Winston Salem, has located in Char
lOtte and will be connected with the
Cheswell Cotton Mill Company, of West
minister, S. c., the office of which will
be in the Observation-Disclosures office build
ing on Church street. The acquisition
OF Mr.. Lassiter as a citizen not only
Nemphasizes the fact that Charlotte is
looked upon by the younger business
men OF the State as city of great op-
portunity, but his coming brings also
the business headquarters Of very sue
cessfll and we'll known South Carolina
cotton mill, Of which Mr.. Lassiter will
be secretary and treasurer. The manu-
featuring plant of the Cheswell Cotton
Mill is located at Westminster, S. C., but
q number of it's largest stockholders re-
side in Charlotte.
Charlotte already claims large num-
Der OF the younger business men of the
State who have located here in recent
years and the coming of Mr.. Lassiter
will be valued addition to the numb
Mr.. Lassiter is temporarily located at
the Southern Manufacturers Club where
he will be until the LIST of May at which
time his family will come to the city.
Both he and his wife, who was Miss
Hanes, of Winston-Salem, have a large
acquaintance in Charlotte and will be
cordially received in social circles.

Letter to ]. A. Kelly.
Henderson, ". G.

Dear Sir: lie is a great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale Gin
his region, of course) ofany thing wanted
by everybody. -
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One Isl put the price up and make
big profit. The other way is: be fair an
make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least gal
Ions and costs least money house, a job,
year, lifetime-nO matter how YOU
reckon your costs, except by the gallon
-DevOe is the best care-taker and costs
least money.
Don't forget that the principal part OF
the cost of paint is putting it on. Less
gallons. less cost. Don't forget that
another principal part OF economy is
long wear; less gallons, less cost and long
wear.
1t is a great thing to have the exclusive
sale of popular goods, ofgoods that make
friends, of goods that enrich both buyer
and seller. Devoe is perhaps only ten
per cent. better than one Or two others:
but ten is plenty-it's 200 and 800 bet
ter than many.
There's man a merchant who hasn't
found out his goods. 1t doesn't take a
man long to find out that Devoe is the
least money paint and why, no matter
which side he is on.
Yours truly
Il F. W. DEVOE & CO.

Popular Young Couple Plight
Their Marriage Vows in
Presence of a Large Com
pany Of Interested Friends
and Spectators.
A large crowd was attracted to
the Episcopal church Wednesday
afternoon to witness the marriage of
two of Henderson's popular young
people, Mr.. Philip Hungerford
Thomas and Miss Sue Andrews Rob
ards. The ceremony occurred at
quarter past one O'Clock and was one
OF the prettiest day marriages wit
messed here
The ushers were Messrs. James H.
Brodie and j. A. Moore; Frank Rob
ards and DR.. f. B. Tucker; S. S. Par
ham and Thomas Bullock. At the ap-
pointed hour they moved down the
center aisle in the order named and
grouped themselves around the
altar, followed by the bridal party.
Mrs. A. S. Davis, sister of the
bride. was dame of honor. The
bride was attended by her brother,
Mr.. w. W. Richards, of Raleigh, who
gave her away.
The groom and his best man, Mr..
John Thomas, a brother. entered
from the vestry room.
Rev. Julian E. lngie performed the
ceremony in a beautiful and impress
sive manner after the ritual of the
church, a ring being used in the ser
vice. Mrs. J. s. E. Young was organ
list and rendered number of appro-
pirate selections both before and dur
ing the ceremony.
There is no more popular young
man in Henderson than Phil Thomas.
He is member of the firm of Thomas
Brothers, druggists, and is success
full in business.
The bri1e is equally popular and
highly esteemed. She is a lovable
young woman whose beautiful char
acter and pleasing personality endear
her to all who know her. She is q
daughter of Mrs. W. J. Robards and
niece of Col. a. B. Andrews.
The gifts to the bride were numer-
GUS and pretty, some of them very
valuable
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas left on a trip
embracing Washington,P Philadelphia.
and New York. The clever manner in
which they gave their friends the slip
after the marriage was the Joke of the
occasion. OF course there was the
usual crowd who intended to go to
the station to see them off with the
customary throwing of rice and old
shoes. But instead of going to the
depot they drove to the brides home
where Mr.. c. H. Turner awaited them
in his automobile stationed in the
back street
Getting into the car they were soon
speeding toward Norlina where they
boarded No. &c, the Northbound
train, instead of taking it in Hender-
son as had been expected Their
baggage was sent on ahead and there
was no writing in chalk and bride
ribbon or COW bells fastened thereon.
Among the out of town persons
who attended the marriage were Mr..
Phil H. Andrews, Mr.. John Andrews
and Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Richards OF
Raleigh. Mr.. and Mrs. Clifton Rob
ards of Oxford, Mrs. James H. Bull
lock, Miss Mary Bullock, Dr. F. b.
Perkins of Warren county, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. A. Bullock, Mr.. John Bull
lock, Williamsboro, Mr.. N. D. Boyd,
Townsville, Mr.. Thomas Carroll,

Attended Coal Dealers Convention,

Capt. J. S. Poythress attended the
Joint convention of the Kentucky
Tennessee and Southern Retail Coal
Merchants Association in Knoxville,
Tennessee, April 14th-16th, and re-
ports pleasant and profitable occa-
sion OF it There were many promi-
nent men present among the coal
operators and dealers of the territory
embraced by these associations.
Among other things for the enter
tainment of the visitors was q trip
to one of the big coal mines contigu-
Gus to Knoxville and an underground
excursion of two and one-halt miles
into it to see how the business is car
ried on at the "other end" 1t was a
novel experience to the. tfhinitiated
and our friend says that while he
liked it he would have enjoyed life
more for the time being ifhe had been
back in Henderson instead OF "down
in coal mine" miles underground.
Capt. POythress combined business
with pleasure and made contracts
with some of the largest mine opera
tors for future supplies. Buying first
hand, shipments being made direct
from the mines in large quantities he
will be in better position to take
care of his trade than ever before
handling the very best grades of coal
at lowest prices.
