my.
East had reasoned that, if he
were to win the first club and re-
turn spade, declarer might hold
up for one round in this suit and
take the third trick. Then South
could concede another club trick
and, by using the ace of diamonds
for re-entry. cash the rest of
the clubs.
When East refused. to win the
first club trick, South was de-
,prived of the additional re-entry
necessary and so could not make
his contract. This is an unusual
type of holdup play employed by
the defense in a no trump con-
tract.

A complete new fall stock of mer-

EVANS GROCERY IS
LOCAL FOOD STORE
Free Delivery and Prompt
and Efficient Service
With Quality

M. G. Evans operates one Of Hen
dersonis leading home-Owned indepen-
dent grocery establishments He has
been at it for these many years, and
saw his first modest venture expand
until today he has one of the largest
local food stores.
Every need of the farmer can be
supplied as to food and feed. Every
thing in the way of heavy and fancy
groceries may be found at Evans
store. And not only that, but Evans
will buy the surplus chickens, eggs
and meats, either on a trade basis or
FOR cash.
Mr.. Evans is a booster of the Hen
derson tobacco and cotton markets,
and has so much faith in them as to
assure farmers that Henderson will
pay you higher prices this year."
Customers of the Evans store have
long since become acquainted with
the high type of service given, the
courtesy extended for large and small
orders, and prompt deliveries made to
all parts Of the city. A capable and
efficient organization is available at
all times to wait on the trade, with
the first principle of that relation
ship the doctrine of courtesy. There
is something about the Evans store
that makes the customer feel like go
ing back. And most of Evans Gus
toners have been with him a long
time and stay there because they have
come to know the store as a place
where quality foods can be had at
reasonable. prices, with promptness

flee is in its temporary quarters and

For the past few years the Hender-
son post office has shown remarkable
growth in the volume of mail handled
and gross receipts. Last year the re-
ceipts for the calendar year 1885 were
s45.273.65. the largest in the history
of the office up to that time. Through
August this year, a period of eight
months, the receipts were $29,64I.5o,
a gain of more than $1,000 over the
corresponding period a year ago. In
dications today are that 1896 will see
anotaer new all-time record set for
postal business here, and Postmaster
j. r. league would not be much sur
prised if the aggregate reaches $780,
900 or whereabouts.
Last years gross receipts restored
the office to first class rating, posi-
ton it occupied for several years until
the depression set in to trim its
volume. It is now thought that when
the new building is completed and
occupied increased facilities and ser
vices will be provided to the public
