velopment throughout nearly quarter
of a century, from a little country
store in Vance county to the splendid
proportions in stock-equipment and
patronage and wide reputation charac-

toners whose investments have proved
highly satisfactory. A. w. Gholson &
co. do constantly a nice business in
the optical department, carrying in
stock large stock of gold and silver
eyeglasses and spectacle frames and
a complete line of lenses. This de-
partment is in charge of H. w. Nixon,
graduate optician of the South Bend
College of Optics, and who is licensed
under the North Carolina laws to prac-
tice his profession. In this department
eyes are examined free and lenses ad-
justed to correct and alleviate any
malady arising from weak or defective
vision. Being an expert matchmaker
and jeweler, Mr.. Mixon's services are
in constant demand by the owners of
valuable watches. for his skill in the

mechanism has been thoroughly es-
tablished and Is generously recognized.
In jewelry repair work his mechanical
skill is always in evidence and for this
reason work Is constantly arriving
from all directions. A. w. GholsOn
and w. H. Pettus compose the firm
which began business in Henderson
three years ago, and during the inter-
vening period the most gratifying re-
suits have been secured in building
up a select and a constantly growing
patronage and reputation which has
become a synonym for reliability. AS
Mr.. Pettus' time is taken up by his
duties as cashier of hte Bank of
brakes Branch, Va, the management
since the inception of the business has
been in the hands of Mr.. Gholson, who
is certainly to be commended for his
alertness and enterprise in giving to
Henderson an establishment in the
jewelry line SO complete in stock
equipment and SO progressive in
methods that there is no longer any
excuse to go away from home tosbuy
watch, diamond or anything in jew
elry, and the discriminating and OBJ

is also watch inspector for the Sea-
board Air Line and Southern Railways,
having been connected with the first

since his boyhood days.
