''The humane man is considerate
OF his beast" Every person who
owns horse and every person who
drives or has anything to do with
the care of one would do we'll to read
and think upon the following article
entitled as above. 1t is a transla-
tion from the Swedish, reprinted
from that excellent little publication,
Our Dumb Animals, Boston, Mass,
which is doing such a good work
throughout the country in the pro-
motion of Humane Societies and the
spread OF the humane spirit for the
prevention of cruelty to animals.
The GOLD LEAF passes the prayer
OF the Horse" along in the hope that
it may be answered by every person
to whom it is offered:
''To thee, my master, | offer my prayer
Feed me and take care of me. Be kind
to me. Do not jerk the reins; do not
whip me when going up hill.
Never strike, beat or kick me when |
fail to understand what you want OF
me, but give me o. chance to understand
you. Watch me, and if l refuse to do
your bidding, see if there is not some
thing wrong with my harness
"Do not give me too heavy loads.
Never hitch me where water will drip on
me. Keep me well shod. Examine my
teeth when fail to eat; may have an
liberated tooth. That, you know, is
very painful. | am unable to tell you in
words when am sick, so watch me and
| will try to tell you by signs.
"Pet me sometimes; enjoy it and |
will learn to love you.
Protect me in summer from the hot
sun. Keep a blanket on me in winter
weather, and never put a frosty bit in
my mouth, but hold it in your hands a
moment first.
81 carry you, pull you, wait patiently
for you long hours. day or night. | can
not tell you when | am thirsty; give me
clean, cool water often in hot weather.
Finally, when my strength is gone,
instead of turning me over to human
brute. to be tortured and starved, take
my life in the easiest and quickest way,
and your God will reward you in this
life and in heaven. Amen"

MIR. AL Vinson Improving.

MIR. Al Vinson of Littleton, who
was thought to be fatally injured as
the result of being accidentally shot
in the head by his little son, as pub
lished last week, is still living and
the Indications are that he will get
we'll The shot took effect in the
forehead and penetrated the brain,
half a teaspoonful of brains oozing
out through the wound. Notwith-
standing this the patient has been
conscious since soon after the injury
was inflicted and sees and con7erses
with his friends daily. The ball is
supposed to have lodged in the back
Of the head at the side below the base
of the brain and had not been e3-
trhcted at last accounts, the doctors
being afraid to probe for it. Friends
of Mr.. Vinson hope for his early and
complete recovery, which would be

Death of MIR. w. w. Reavis.

One OF Henderson's oldest and best
known citizens passed away when
Mr.. W. W. Reavis answered the sum-
mons that comes to all things earthly
at half past eleven O'Clock Tuesday
night. He had been in declining
health long time but was confined
to the bed only about ten days.
Catarrhal pneumonia was the imme-
date cause of death. Mr. Reavis had
suffered two or three slight strokes
OF paralysis within recent years and
while he was able to keep going and
look after his business affairs his
failing strength was perceptible to
his family and friends.
When Mr.. Reavis was first taken
his indisposition was not considered
serious but he gradually grew worse
and Friday night it was thought
that he could not live through the
night. and since that time although
conscious for the most part he had
been in a condition of collapse until
the spark OF life vanished like the
feeble fame OF a candle bunt out. In
his passing a good citizen and q
man who will be missed bymany has
gone out from among US. He did
much in a quiet way to befriend the
needy and if all who have shared his
bounty should testify to the kindness
of heart and generosity of nature of
"Wes'' Reavis there would be null
titude to pronounce benediction upon
his head.
Mr.. Reavis was about 7S years of
age and was born at Chalk Level,
near Henderson. In early manhood
he moved to Oxford where he lived
for number of years. He had been
a resident of Henderson between
forty-five and fifty years and no man
In the community was better known
or more highly esteemed. Mr. Reavis
was quiet and unassuming, honest
and upright in all his dealings and
had the confidence and respect OF all
who knew him. He was frugal and
Industrious, successfulin business and
acquired a good estate, but of late
years it is doubtful he made any
money.
Mr.. Reavis never married. He
leaves one sister, Miss Sallle ReaV1S.
who made her home with him, as did
an older sister, Miss Bette, up to the
time of her death some years ago,
between whom there was a tender de-
votion and affection that was beauti-
full even among brothers and sisters.
One brother, Mr.. Thomas H. Reavis,
Of Lampasas, Texas, also survives
him, beside a large number of more
distant relatives. among these Mrs.
S. H. Allen, OF Henderson, niece,
daughter of the late Mr.. George
Reavis, of Oxford.
The funeral will be held from the
home on Breckenridge street this
Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Rev. r. C. Craven will conduct the
service and the pall-bearers will be
R. r. Pinkston, W. W. Rowland, E.
G. Davis, George A. Rose. S. T. Peace,
Alpheus Cooke, Thad R. Manning.

A Newspaper is a Business and

Rockingham News.


Now is the time when the country
newspaper men are receiving letters
from men they do not know, and pos
sibly never heard OF. stating that the
writer is a candidate for some State
office and any aid the editor can be-
stow will be greatly appreciated. Yes,
no doubt it would. On the other
hand, any aid these politicians can be-
stow on the editor to reconlperfse him
for space used in his paper, would be
appreciated. Ii politicians want to
advertise their business, why in the
dickens don't they include check as
evidence of good faith, 1or the
amount of advertising they desire
and send along copy properly signed,
for advertising? Talk about busi-
ness. If there is any business in a
newspaper man giving away his
space any more than a merchant
giving away his goods, we are unable
to see where it comes in.

never put forth a helping hand to-
