some slight bruises about the head.
Last Monday, as well as the day
before and day after, was one of the
most sweltering days that has been
experienced in this community in a
long time. And yet we wonder how
many of the older people will recall
that just 20 years previous to that
date, to the day, freezing weather
prevailed all over this section." On
the 22nd day of May, 1885, folks
were either huddled up by blazing
fires or going about in overcoats
and wraps.
As soon as the necessary building
materials can be secured and placed
on the grounds the Carolina Bagging
and Tie Company will begin rebuild
ing its large storage warehouse that
was destroyed by lire a little more
than two weeks ago. The new struct
ure will be much larger and more
substantial than the old one and as
near tire-proof as it will be possible
to make it. Thus it is that in grow
ing cities like Henderson greater and
better things ever rise out of the
ashes of the past.
Little Arthur Norvell, the two and a
half year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh
L. Norvell, of this city, died Monday

Funeral services were conducted at
the residence Tuesday afternoon at
3 o'clock, by Revs. W. R. Royall and
J. W. Morgan, and the interment
took place at Cokesbnry church, six
miles out in the country. Four little
girls acted as pall bearers. The
floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful. The sympathy of the
community goes out to them in their
bereavement.
Lewis Ac Jovner is the style of a
new mercantile nrm tnac is jusmiow
opening for business in Henderson.
The two clever gentlemen composing
the new linn come to this city from
Ijttleton, where they have been suc
cessfully engaged in business for some
time, and in common with all new
comers among us they will receive
a most cordial welcome to our hust
ling and growing city. They are
wholesale and retail dealers in feed
and heavy groceries, aud are located

the school have a cordial invitation
to attend these exercises.
"The easiest money in the world
can be made right here in Vance
county today," said a well known
farmer of the county last Saturday
to a representative of the Gold Leaf.
In comparing present conditions
with those that prevailed several
years ago, he said that he and a
team worked two days then for $2.
50. The returns from the same work
today would be quite different. Mr.
J. J. Hill and other capitalists have
frequently called attention to the
South of late as the land of opportu
nity. Vance county is the garden
spot of the South, and it is refreshing
to know that our own people have
at last begun to so recognize it.

Church News of the Week.
Rev. W.G.Clements, of Chapel Hill,
preached an able and impressive ser
mon to a large congregation at the
Christian church Sunday morning.
The pulpit was filled by the pastor
Sunday night.
At the Baptist church Sunday
morning the pastor gave the first of
the last three lectures on Baptist
church history: "The church in the
New Testament period. Character
istics of the church at this period,
and the process of its corruption till
it disappeared about 200, A. D."
Next Sunday morning the subject
will be "The Re-appearance of the
church atthejtime of the Reforma
tion." Sunday night Rev. Morgan
began a series of brief discourses on
the parable of the lost son. The
anthem at the morning service was
by Mr. Asa Parham.
Rev. 1. W. Hughes held the three
usual services at Holy Innocents
church Sunday. At the morning ser
vice he briefly surveyed the import
ant matters that had come up be
fore the annual convention at licky
Mount last week, which was one of
the most important and successful
of all the ninety-five since the crea
tion of the Diocese of North Carolina.
All of the happenings were of a mis
sionary character, Christian educa
tion, the Church's duty in the mill
districts, and to the colored race, and
the Endowment Fund (that a pen
sion may be had in old age or when
incapacitated so that practical, self
respecting men, many of whom the
Church never hears, may enter the
Christian ministry). These subjects
were combined into a splendid mis
sionary sermon. Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday were Rogation days
and twice each day prayers were of
fered for the fruits of the earth.
Today, Ascension Day, one of the
live great feasts, there was a special
service at 11 o'clock.
The Henry L. Wyatt Camp of Con
federate Veterans heard an inspiring
sermon at the Methodist church Sun
day morning. The Camp in the
Confederate uniforms, led by the
"Stars and Stripes," the "Stars and
Bars" and the State Hag, marched
down the aisle of the church a few
minutes before 11 o'clock and took
their places in a body. After a talk
directly to the soldiers in regard to
their heroism, in which Rev. Royall
said he often wondered if the young
men of today could successfully cope
with the difficulties that faced the
men of 18GI, he told them that
though they had fought and won the
battles of i8Gl-'G5, there were bat
tles today that had not been won;
that the Civil War was over and Lee
and Jackson were dead, but that
Jesus Christ, ''the Captain of our
Salvation," was alive. He then
enumerated several of the bloodless
battles to be won, and while dwelling
on crime, said that 100,000 of our
fellow men are said to be imprfeoned
all the time. Poverty was another
bloodless battle to be fought, and all
of the forms of vice which strive
against the health and morals of
citizens. And evils which threaten
the home, the school and flag. 1G,
000,000 boys and girls attend our
public schools, he said, at an annual
expense to the nation of more than
$250,000,000 and there must be a
ceaseless, bloodless struggle for the
inculcation of manhood. Not mon
ey but men is the unit of value, char
acter not commerce is the basic
principle of national prosperity. And
in conclusion, no nation has ever
been conquered when its men were
brave and honorable, and its women
chaste and domestic.
There were the two regular ser
vices at the Protestant church Sun
day. Both sermons were by the pas
tor, Rev. R. M. Andrews.
Rev. J. A. McClure filled his pulpit
at the Presbyterian church twice on
last Sunday. Miss Bertha Bunn
was organist on account of the ab
sence of the regular organist, Mrs.
C. A. Lewis.
Rev. Dr. Alexander Sprunt, pastor
of the First Presbpterian church of
Charleston, S. C, preached a strong
sermon to a good congregation in
the Presbyterian church of this city
last evening at 8:30. Dr. Sprunt is
a former pastor of the Henderson
church and is very popular here, not
only with the members of the Pres
byterian congregation, but with
other denominations as well. Last
Sunday morning Dr. Sprunt preach
ed the commencement sermon for
Peace Institute, at Raleigh, in-the
First Presbyterian church of that
city, and the Raleigh papers speak in
the highest terms of his able effort.
He also preached the commencement
sermon at Littleton Female College
this week.
Bogus Cloth
What is Paint? Some people think
anything labelled "paint" is paint, but
there's a difference, just as much as be
tween one kind of cloth and another.
Cloth, nine-tentha cotton and one-tenth
wool, is bogus cloth. Cloth all wool
wears to the limit.- Paint at a price be
tween 75 Cents and $ 1.50 is like bogus
cloth. The L. & M. Paint is all wool and
wears to the limit. There's a reason.

Vance County Superior Court.
The May term of Vance county Su
perior court, for the trial of both
criminal and civil cases, convened
Monday morning with Judge G. W.
Ward presiding. Owing to the good
work of the Recorder's court, which
was established for this county by
the last Legislature, there was a very
light criminal docket to begin with.
The grand jury got through with its
work and was dismissed Tuesday,
and court will probably adjourn for
the term today. Not agreat many
cases of importance have come up at
this term.
Fred Crudup, colored, charged with
the murder of James Hunt, another
colored man, was found guilty of
murder in the second degree and
sent to the penitentiary for a term

A few other cases of minor impor
tance were disposed of.

Mr. R. H. Spruill, cashier of the Mer
chants' and Farmers' Bank of Colombia.
Tvrell county, and superintendent on
public instruction of that county, com

Presbyterian Assembly in Session.
The fifty-first .General Assembly of
the Southern Presbyterian Church
convened in Louisville, Ky., May 18,
to continue in session for eight days.
Representative Presbyterians from
all the Southern States are in at
tendance. This Assembly marks the semi-centennial
of the separate organization
of the Presbyterian Church in the
South, which was effected at the be
ginning of the Civil war.
One of the chief matters to come
before the Assembly is a change of
the amendment concerning infant
damnation. A change is wanted
that will make plain the Church's bej
lief that all dying infants are saved.
The Man Who Does Things.
The man who actually conceived
the idea of the automobile, didn't
carry out his idea. Some other fel
low caught on to the idea, made a
machine and went down the pike
hailed as an inventor. Men who
think and don't act had just as well
not bother about thinking. The
man who gets the simoleon is the
one who has an idea, takes the Ini
tiative to carry it out and is the con
structive genius who makes some
thing make something. Wilmington

When the state text book commis
sion finally agrees - on the books to
be used in the public scnoois, it is to
be hooed that the agreement will
stand for at least a Im terms. Text
books are expensive. There is an
immense profit made on them and
the frequent changes have been quite
a drain on the pocket books of par
ents of school children! To the end
that the matter may be settled for
some time, at least, the commission
ers Bhould have a care to select
books against which there may be
no protest. Charlotte Chronicle.

Velvet Slippers, the latest style, at J

An exceeding drank man, on a very
rainy day, stood weaving back and
forth beneath a belching wate-spout.
A passing policeman took him away,
but the drunk resisted weakly and
mumbled:
"Shave the wimmen an' children 1
1 c'n swim." Everybody's
Pa I greatly disapprove of that
young Smithson, and one particular
reason is his lack of industry in his
calling.
Daughter II is calling? Why be
calls seven evenings in the week.
