Pelted or "pounded,' not with
fists or canes, but with things fit for
the inner man, were Rev. r. c. Cra-
ven, pastor of the Methodist Episco-
pal church and his good wife Monday

descended in force upon the Metho-
dist parsonage and left various and
sundry packages suitable to n we'll
stocked larder, and givers and re-
ceivers were better for the spirit of
brotherly love and friendship thus
manifested
By concerted action a goOdly com

and young members of Mr.. Craven's
congregation, met in body, made a
raid on the the home of the pastor,

by surprise But the nature of the

Last Thursday Nights Attraction

"The House of Thousand Can
dies, that weird, mysterious play as
dramatized from the novel of the
same name by Meredith Nicholson,
was presented at the Grand Theatre
last Thursday night bv Nathan APP
pelPs company, headed by William
Webb. Those who had read the book
had some idea of the character of
the play; those who had not were
totally in the dark, as was much of
the performance. With darkened
stage, at times dimly lighted with
candles. the scenery of sombre kind
in keeping with the character of the
play, there was a weird and mysteri-
Gus atmosphere about the whole
thing almost bordering on gruesome-
ness, and it was only by good acting
that the play was made good. Will
liam Webb who essayed the role of
show. Robert Richie as John Mar
shall Glenarm, nephew and heir of
old John Glenarm. owner of the house
of mystery and master of Bates, the
man OF mystery, was very good, and
Lorne Elwyn as Arthur Pickering
played his part fairly we'll. The fa-
male roles were weak and the preach
err was not up to the standard re-
quirement of the character essayed.
The sheriff was entirely overdone-or
underdone-in make up and portray
al of the part, a weakling that was
positively ludirrous. and ought to be
improved or cut out entirely.
1.-The House of a Thousand Can
dies" came we'll recommended but
some of the bright lights of the com
pany must have been extinguished
before the performance was presented
in Henderson.

Private Car Burned.

The private car of the William Todd
Vaudeville Company was burned at
Timmonsville, S. c., Tuesday night
of last week, together with most OF
the effects belonging to the company.
The canvas standing on a side track
when it was backed into and upset
by freight train. overturning the
stove and lamps and setting it on
fire. Members of the company lost
their clothing and other personal
effects. The show being in progress
at the time, no one was at the car
when the fire occurred, hence the ina
bility to save anything. Young Har-
nv Harper is with the show, having
engaged with them as ticket agent
when they played Henderson last
July. He was a loser by the fire in

Pay the Grocery Man.

1t looks like no appeal should have
to be made to any one to pay gro
Gerry bill. When q person has been
INDUCED for the necessities of life
that which sustains life itself-he
ought to pay and pay promptly and
ungrudgingly the man who has
given him credit. if it is possible to
to do so. But they do not all do it,
or this would not be printed. Ac-
cording to the American Grocer, the
following was run by the Grocers'
Association of Montague, Mich, as
a display advertisement in the local
paper:
PAY YOUR GROCER PROMPTLY.
Pay your grocer cash when you
can.
You little know the terrible burden
he has to carry on account of the
carelessness and Indifference of his
customers
Everything in the world he has is
at stake and more failures among
grocers are caused by the neglect or
refusal OF people to pay him than
from any other cause.
The grocer is never a rich man. He
works hard from morning until night
and his profits are small. Many n
day laborer is better off than he at
the end OF the year.
Often when he needs money to pay
pressing bills and customers owe him
money long past due, he is afraid to
ask for it for fear they will get mad.
Think of it! After he has trusted
them, favored them, handed out his
goods freely and then needs the money
when it belongs to him, he's afraid to
ask for it.
GERS who have been forced to the
wall, hankrupted, ruined completely,
with all their hopes blasted because
they could not collect money that
was due them.
Reader, if you have been one of the
careless Ones-if you have never
thought of these things-give it some
attention now
If you have influence, use it foI
your friend, the grocer.
Buy what you will, get trusted fol
any thing else you will, but for the
love OF Justice
Pay your grocer promptly.
