Mr.. o. Z. Shell has moved his
family to Raleigh to live. They have
contemplated this for some time and
Mrs. Shell and the children took their
departure last week. Mr.. Shell is
travelling for a Raleigh firm and
making that place his headquarters
he could be with his family more by
having them live there tn an if they
stayed in Henderson.
Stop some time and run over in
your mind the many advantages
possessed by Henderson, it's public
utilities, business enterprise and in
dustry. quiet, lawabiding citizens,
good climate and health conditions,
its freedom from floods and dastruct-
i've winds, and then congratulat to
yourself that you live in such ia
vored community, among such a
goodly people.
A look through the furniture stores
OF Henderson will convince you that
one does not need to go away from
home to buy furniture and house
furnishings goods of as high quality
and reasonable price az can be bought
anywhere. We doubt if any city
much larger than Henderson can
boast rs extensive and handsome
lines of furniture as are carried by
our dealers.
Put your money in the bank. 1t is
unsafe at home-liable to be stolen
or lost by fire Money deposited in

county would build enterprises, fur
nish employment for many and bring

District Meeting Knights Of Pythias

The district meeting for the Fifth
district Knights OF Pythias, domain
of North Carolina, was held in Hen
derson last Thursday night There
was u good attendance and the oc-
caslon was one TO be long remember
ed by those present. After the adj
iournment of the convention which
was held in the lodge room a banquet
was served to the visiting brethren,
the local members and few invited
friends which was greatly enjoyed.
Tables were set in the armory of the
Vance Guards told Burwell Hall from
which the stage and proscenium have
been removed) the spread being
provided by the Helping Hand Circle
OF the Kings Daughters. The menu
consisted OF chicken salad, olives,
pickles, celery, ham sandwiches, to-
matoes, lettuce, mayOnaise, cream,
cake, coffee, cigars, cigarettes. Every
thing was nicely prepared, the tables
arranged in good taste and with
pretty young ladies to wait on them
the banqueters found nothing lack
ing.
Rev. r. NJ. Andrews was toast
master. An address of welcome was
delivered by Mr.. J. l.. III. Missillier,
and this was responded by Mr.. T..
II. Lindsey of Durham. Toasts re-
sponded to were: Needs and Posi-
bilities of an Orphanage," by Mr.
T. II. Lindsey; 1.-The Little Ameni-
ties of Life and Character" by DR.. j.
E. Malone, of Louisburg; 1.-The
Ladies'" by Mayor Henry T. Powell
OF Henderson; Friendship" by Past
Grand Chancellor William W. Wilson
of Raleigh.
1t was very delightful event all
the way through and those who were
fortunate enough to be present hope
they will "do SO again" A vote
of thanks was rendered the ladies
for the part they had performed in
making the affair such an enjoyable
success-and they deserved it.

Building and Loan Associations

charlotte News.
The Raleigh Evening Times repro
duces story telling of the work be-
ing accomplished by the four building
and loan associations of Charlotte
comments thus:
"Anyone can readily see from the
story the immense value of these as
soolations to a city. By the aid of
these associations in Charlotte $780,
900 a year are being saved and in
vested in homes in the city, and it is
safe to say that without the aid of
the building and loan at least half OF
this money would not be saved at all.
While the savings banks are doing a
great work and would get large
part of this amount if there were no
building and loan associations, a
great part of it would be wasted
without them. We count Raleigh's
building and loan one of her best in
situations, and the man who puts his
money in it is not only helping him
self, but helping his town beyond
measure"
All of which is very true The build
ing and loan associations of Char
lotte have done much towards the
upbuilding of the city, as the Times
observes, and other cities could not
do better than follow Charlotte's ex-
ample in this matter.

Closing Hours to be Observed

The Retail Merchants Association OF
Henderson has passed resolutions max
ing the closing hour for all stores $50
P. M. excepting Saturday night which
shall be, beginning June LIST, 1000
O'Clock P. NJ.
1t has been suggested from the pulpit
that the Merchants Association should
adopt Saturday night closing hours that
would enable the store employees to go
home early and make preparations Tor
attending the Sunday morning church
services. The above conforms to this
recommendation, and eliminates the
cause for non attendance at sacred wor-
ship.
Merchants who are not members OF the
Association have been invited to coop
crate with us in this arrangement, and
it is hoped that they will do so.

son, N. H., and this spring a doctor
healed it up. l felt fine for about a
month but had to be on my feet a good
deal and above my knee came swelling
as big as MY fst. 1t hung down and
was as red as if it had been blistered
and so sore that | could hardly get
around. The cords of my leg seemed to
be stiff and the pain was so bad at times
that it made me faint.
lone of the neighbors told me about
Sloan's Liniment so | got bottle and
put some right on. Next morning could
walk ever so much better and | kept
right on using the Liniment night and
morning. 1t took down all the swelling
and the redness and soreness have gone

Vandalism that Should be Stopped

Complaint is made of the practice
OF making some Of the monuments in
the cemetery targets for bean shoot
ers or small rifles. Marks or pits
have been made in these costly me-
MORALS and stop should be put to
it. This is a species of vandalism
that merits severe punishment and
the guilty persons ought to be ap-
pretended and brought to account.
1t is up to the cemetery management
to interest themselves in the matter
and to see to it that the graves and
monuments in the City OF the Dead
are properly protected and pre-
served

poetry about it until the thing is

The meeting Monday to determine |
upon a location for the proposed
monument to the memory of the
Confederate dead of Vance county,
was interfered with by the rain But
dispite this quite number were pres
ent and much interest and enthusiasm
was expressed. Mr.. Andrew ]. Har-
ris was called to the chair end the
question OF where to place the monu-
ment was freely discussed several of
the ladies giving their preference and
opinion. Some favored putting it on
Main street at the intersection Of
Breckenridge, but there was objection
to this on account OF the limited
space and the possibility of danger
to the monument in case OF fire. Hen
derson will some day have street cars
and We must plan for the future while
building for the present. There is not
room on Main street for the .monu-
ment, street car lines and vehicles.
Many favored the court house square
AS the proper place, and the number
holding to this opinion was in the
majority, while others thought the
railroad square would be most suit
able il enough ground could be had
for this purpose. A committee was
| appointed to take the matter up
with the railroad authorities and re-
port at future meeting.
The town has appropriated 81 900
toward the erection of the monument
and the county 81, 900. The Daugh-
tiers OF the Confederacy have in hand
$500. Something being said about
the character and cost of the mon
ument, Mrs. Sidney P. Cooper, Presi-
| dent OF Vance County Chapter, Uni
ted Daughters of the Confederacy,
and the leading spirit in the move
ment, was quick to announce that
they wanted it understood that they
would not limit themselves to So, 900,
and will gladly receive contributions
from any person who is disposed to
aid them.
Notable among those present was
Capt. 0. R. Smith, veteran of three
wars, and with courage and patriot
ism enough to fight in three more if
occasion required notwithstanding
his advanced years and less elastic
step. 1t was Capt. Smith who de-
signed the Stars and Bars, the orig
inal Confederate - "Secesh'' - flag,
and his name is imperishably linked
with the Southern cause. Capt
Smith is loyal to the spirit and tradi-
tions of the past whether of peace or
war time, true to the responsibilities
and opportunities OF the present, with
a firm faith in the promise and pos
sibilities of a still, more glorious
future. Veteran of Veterans, no
gathering of old soldiers hereabouts
seems to be complete without him.
