Special Sernoa to Old Soldiers.
Contributed.

Under the auspices Of Vance County
Chapter, Daughters of the Confederaey.
Henry L. Wyatt Camp No. 9S4. eonied-
crate Veterans, met OF the court house
Sunday morning. the 18th, at 1890 and
marched to the Methodist Protestant
church, which had been Handsomely
decorated with flowers and flags for the
occasion, to hear q special sermon
preached by the pastor, Rev. r. II. An
srews.
Mr.. Andrews took for his subject, the
closing period In the life OF Moses. when
be was taken up on Mt Pisgah to view
the land OF promise, which land he was
not aliosyed to enter. The sermon was
able, appropriate and elegant, and
showed that the preacher had studied
deeply his subject. His thoughts were
beautiful and beautifully expressed and
highly appreciated. There were over
forty Veterans, every one OF whom had
seen active service. Some OF them had
been with Lee, Jackson, Stewart and
Johnson, had fought at Gettysburg, the
Wilderness, Anteitam, Bentonsville-in
TACT, most OF them went through the en-
tire struggle, and one. at least, had
fought through the war with Mexico.
1t was q strange sight, the old men
sitting together, while behind them was
seated the Daughters of the Confederacy
The music was fine, the day was ideal,
the whole service pleasant and delight
ful. After the service the hospitality OF
our Henderson people was freely shown
by the many kind invitations extended
to the Veterans to dine with them-an
enjoyable occasion for all. Now let each
OF the churches invite US and we will be
glad to accept and worship with them
some time in the future.

Human Hearts Friday Night.

The coming of that captivating
play, "Human Heart<."fo the Grand
Thtatre tomorrow, Friday. night.
September oath, will no donbt b+
warmly welcomed by lovers of all
that Is good in melodrama. .Hu-
man Hearts, is beyond question one
OF the strongest and most interest
ing OF plays that has ever visited our
city. The author belongs to that
too small group OF dramatists, who
understand how to reach the hearts
and hold the attention OF the audi
ence. In "Human Hearts" he has
constructed a play that will n"ver
grow old. The principal theme OF
the play is Hope" and has not
some author written "Hope springs
eternal in the human breast?'-
Hope" the one bright ray Of sun
shine that breaks through and illu-
mines the clouds of despair that
almost overwhelms poor ''Tom
Logan;'-tbe "Hope" OF a good,
pure woman's love:-tbe slope" OF
brighter days;-the Hope" of an
honest man unjustly accused OF
crime, that the criminal will be de-
tected and his good name restored.
The love interest is all as absorbing.
The comedy element is introduced in
such Al way that it becomes relevant
to the story, and the climaxes are
worked out naturally and logically.

''Strongheart'' Was Good.

Same pretty strong endorsements
came ahead of "Strongheart," Will
liam c. DeMille's fine college play
which was the attraction at the
Grand Theatre last night, but in the
excellent performance presented ex-
pectation was fully realized. The
companyis a good one with some ca
pable actors, giving a faithful inter-
probation of their respective roles
Among the ladies Miss Bessie Wilkes
AS Dorohthy Nelson, and Miss Mae
Beban, as Molly Livingston, were ex-
ceptionally good, while the work of
Mr.. Burton l.. King as Strongheart,
Mr.. Fred S. Shepherd as "Billy' Saun-
ders, Mr. Walter Connolly as Dick
Livingston, Mr.. Richard Stoneleigh
as Frank Nelson, Mr.. William Stat
ford as Thorne, and Mr.. Charles
Henderson as Buckley, head coach,
was altogether pleasing.
"Strongheart" is a play that is
worth while, and as presented last
evening by the company SO ably
headed by Mr.. King and Miss Wilkes
it is play which every amusement
seeker cannot but enjoy.
The audience was not what the
play deserved. But what it lacked in
numbers was made up in intelligent
appreciation.
Manager Poythress is trying to
give the amusement lovers of Hen
derson a good class of attractions,
and they ought to show their appre-
citation by their patronage.

SPECIAL REMARKS.

L am sure my Remedy will give perfect
satisfaction in every case where TONIC,
Alternative, PURIFIER OF THE
BLOOD, or NERVINE, lie needed. The
merit of the Remedy cannot be excelled in
building up the system when one is ''run
down. In that way it has cured a great
many cases Of Nervous PrortratiOn and
Insomnia, and while it contains no OPT
ate or narcotic of any kind, no Iodide OF
Potassium or other mineral, and each
vegetable ingredient is perfectly harm
less. by soothing and quieting the nerves,
it will give good natural sleep to those
who are restless.
1t is well for everyone who cOntem-
plates using the Remedy to build up
rundown system, to recognize the fact
that recuperation of this kind cannot be
effected in a week or a month, and In
chronic conditions OF this nature, it
would be useless to start on the Remedy
unless one has made up their mind to
take q dozen bottles, and it generally
requires from one to three dozen bottles
to effect a cure OF a chronic case OF Ner
vous Prostitution; but when the cure is
effected, it is absolute and permanent.
The same rule applies to chronic condi-
tiOns OF every nature-indigestiOn, dys-
pCpold, oloihdNh VioupiC, hCA ououCccs
eczema, rheumatism, catarrh, and all
troubles that come from impure, impov-
erished, or poisoned blood, and for a
rundown condition of the system.
In these CHRONIC cases, it is but
bottle, and if it does any good will try
more" but if nay Remedy is used as d.
rect, am not afraid of the result.
II Vpill ohnn1,,folxy blood vnscnn
In such cases, give freely, say a wine glass
full every fifteen or twenty minutes,
until the effect is felt in the head. One,
and even two, bottled day can be thus
taken, always giving the best results.
In chronic cases of long standing,
where any of my Remedy is needed at
all, the use OF dozen bottles is neces-
sary, and in many cases more. Some
take a half-dozen bottles and more be-
fore feeling any benefit; q great many
tell me they have felt better from the
first dose; most report benefit on second
or third bottle
Where one only needs a little Tonic, OF
course one or two bottles will be suffi-
Gent, and it very seldom ever requires
more than one or two bottles to cure
a child. One-half dozen bottles have
cured numberless cases OF Indigestion,
Eczema, and other serions troubles, but
they were of recent standing, and had
not become chronic
most urgently recommend my Rem
edy to everyone suffering from any
trouble that comes from impure, inpov-
erished, or poison blood, and for run
down system.
The using of the Wash is Of the utmost
Importance, to be used in connection
with the remedy, in cases where there is
any external trouble, Inflammation, ul-
ceration, or itching humor.

Good Prices for Tobacco.

When tobacco gets up around the
5000 mark - and the Offering
amounts to good sized pile. several
pounds in weight-it puts a smile on
the farmers faces. We saw u lot
bring $3.50 Saturday, and from
that on down - $4,000, $500,
$4,000, $500, $4,000, $3.50
$15. 100, etc. The commoner grades,
such as nobody wants, bring very
low prices OF course, but that is
the fault of the tobacco and not OF
the buyers or the market. Good to-
bacco commands good prices, but
sorry tobacco-stuff that is scarcely
fit to make litter in horse stables of
is not desirable at any price and
most of it is bought by the ware
houses to take care of the sellers.

do not want 1t.

Henderson, ~ t.
Dear Sir: Paint goes by gallons. There
are useful and useless gallons. Useful
paint is lead-zinc-and oil with dryer and
color; useless paint whiting, china-clay,
ground stone, barytes, benzine, or water.
This stuff is putin, because it is cheap,
to stuff-out the paint to make more gal
Ions to sell; of course, the buyer doesn't
suspect, or he wouldn't buy it.
1t cost as much to brush-On this use.
less stuff as lead-zinc- and oil; but it looks
like that and feels like that in the brush;
the painter doesn't suspect it. Besides,
if the owner is willing, why should the
painter object to painting two gallons
for one? He is paid by the day; more
gallons, more days, more money.
Average paint at full price is about
one-third this useless stuff; and average
paint at 1925 or $3.50 or $1.75 q gal
lon is two-thirds trash. Fool paint is
the proper name for all but pure paint; it
is made to fool people with. Knave
paint is another good name; it is made,
OF course, by knaves. Sick paint is a
name for an honest weak paint. They
are all weak and all extravaganza; too
many gallons to buy and too many gal
Ions to brush-on. Devoe is the standard.
Yours truly.
