They are said to give a clean and creditable performance, presenting standard and popular plays, and please their audience wherever they go. At Burwell Hall next Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Col. Burgwyn has been here for a few days during the past week. It is always a pleasure to his friends to see and sqake hands with the Colonel.

By the way, the address to be delivered by him in Raleigh on Memorial Day (May 10th) is looked forward to with pleasure. His subject as heretofore announced, will be the life and military achievements of Gen. Thos. L. Clingman.

The engagement of the Charles King Company at Burwell Hall next Tuesday and Wednesday evenings will prove an event of more than usual interest and merit. Mr. King will be recalled as leading man in the Alice. Byno Company, pleasantly remembered by many Henderson play-goers, and will doubtless meet with a cordial reception on his return at the head of a company of his own. We had a call Tuesday from Mr.

W. Seton Kent, the successful and clever young representative of Barn-hard Bros. Spindler, type founders and dealers in printers' supplies of all kinds, Chicago. 111. He represents a good and reliable house and one that deserves the confidence and patronage of printers and publishers who want the best material to be had at prices not fixed by "the trust." See notice of W.

DAVIS ROSE. An Important and Interesting Event for Henderson. May the llth will be the inauguration of an event of more than usual interest. in Henderson. It will be thel meeting of the Episcopal Convention.

to which reference has already been made. Such an occasion cannot fail to awaken a lively interest on the part of all our people without regard to denominational lines, and Henderson folks, proverbial for hospitality to the "stranger within their gates' will vie with each other in entertaining the' visitors. A large attendance is expected, some of the most distinguished members of the clergy and prominent laymen being among the number. As to the ladies they need no qualifying terms. To say there will be many pf them present is assurance that the Convention will be looked forward to all the more eagerly and the pleasure of entertaining our guests greatly heightened thereby.

In addition to the Convention the Brotherhood of St. Andrew and the Woman's Auxiliary will meet at the same time. This may give some idea of the number of delegates and other visitors that will be here. They mnst all be entertained. And they will be entertained, for Henderson has never failed to meet any demand made upon her.

Let us surpass our efforts of nine years ago, when the Episcopal Convention met here, at which time the visitors went away singing the praises of Henderson and expressing themselves as delighted with the hospitality of Henderson people. Thirty five years make a generation. That is how long Adolph Fisher, of Zanes-Ville, suffered from piles. He was cured by using three boxes of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. Phil H.

T. L. Jones, of Henderson, died at the residence of Mrs. J. J.

Harris, corner of Lane street and Boylan avenue. Miss Jones had been an intense sufferer from ear trouble. She came to Raleigh six weeks ago and submitted to a surgical operation. Miss Jones was a popular young lady of Henderson, and was dearly loved by a large circle of acquaintances: The above is taken from the Raleigh Post of the 20th. The body was brought to Henderson on the 1 o'clock train Tuesday and at 5 the funeral was held-from the Epicopal church, the rector Rev.

Julian Ingle conducting the service. The deceased young lady was about 19 years of age. She possessed a sweet and lovely disposition, and was greatly loved by those who were intimately acquainted with her. To the bereaved family the sympathy of the community is sincerely offered. SO CURE- MO PAY.

Tne Wadesboro correspondent of the Charlotte Observer, under date of Nov. 20th, said this of the Charles King Company which will appear at Burwell Hall next Tuesday an Wed-desday evenings: Last night the Charles King Com-pany which has been entertaining us for the past five nights gave us' Rip Van Winkle. The opera house was crowded to overflowing and the unanimous decision of the vast audience was that the play was superb.

At times the prowd was hysterical with laughter and the next minute tears would flow from aged eyes as they would sympathize with the actors so real would they make the scenes. One of the bnest lectures ever heard in -Henderson on any subject was that delivered at Methodist Episcopal church last night by Col. J. E. Mowbray, of Philadelphia.

His subject was "Shackles Stricken from Human Limbs and Fangs "Extracted from Human Souls' and it was treat ed in a masterly and entertaing manner. In conception and delivery it was simply grand at times, and at no point was there a dull sentiment or expression. Col. Mowbray has been justly styled the later John B. Gough, and is one of the most gifted and enter taining speakers in the country.

He is a thorough master of his subject, his powers of description great. At times he had the audience almost melted to tears, while in another moment they would be enchanted by his vivid and realistic word portraiture. The lecture was a rare treat indeed, and the regret is the audience was not larger. It was not generally known it seems, and those who did attend were repaid beyond their highest expectation. We cannot undertake to speak of the lecture as it deserves in the short time and brief space at our command, but commend Col.

Mowbray to the kindly consideration of North Carolinians and others urging them to avail themselves of the opportunity to hear him whenever it is presented. Col. Mowbray spoke about one hour and a half and his audience. would gladly have heard him longer. Mrs.

A. Inyeen, residing at 720 Hepry St Alton, 111., suffered with sciatic rheumatism for oyer eight months. She doctored for it nearly the who'e of this time using various remedies recommended by friends, and was treated by the physicians, but received no relief. She then used one and a half bottles of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which effected a complete cure. This is published at her request, as she wants others similarly afflicted to know what cured her.

The farmers are about through planting corn in this section. We have a very flourishing school at In- gleside taught by Miss Sallie Macon.

The publio school that was taught by Miss Mamie Dean, of Henderson, has closed to the regret of several young men around irughs. Miss Laura Macon has returned from Louisburg where she has been spending some time with her brother Mr. Henry Macon. There is a very good Sunday school at Trinity church with 'Squire Dick Foster as Superintendent.

You will find in St. Luke the 13th and 18th these words: "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars be ye not troubled for such things shall needs be but the end shall not jie yet for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be earth- in divers places and there shall be amines and troubles. These are the be ginnings of sorrows." There is a great deal of talk of war lust now and we suppose that war is right upon us.

well, papa says he is not as anxious to go as some of our friends. He says he is net so very uneasy yet as to miss a meal or lose an hour's sleep. We have confidence in the Henderson Military boys and hone and trust that when they get there that Spain will be whipped and Cuba will be freed and that the Henderson Military boys will come back home rejoicing. We have a right good.loke on one of our neighbors Mr. A.

He heard some heavy blasting in one oi the neighbor wens and thought It was Spain and the United States at war with each other, so he called to one of his colored hands to come and tote him to the bouse, that he bad the rheumatism in his right side, also in his left leg. and that he couldn't walk. His col ored hand (Bill) said, "Mr. I can't tote you, for 1 have the tisms too." A LITTLE UIKL. Americans are the most inventive people on earth.

The reports submitted were com prehensive, and revealed a year of lull and 'successful labors, about four thousand dollars beinsr raised bv the Conference Society during the Thursday night the address of wel come was delivered by Mrs.

Dr. G. Carr, of Durham. It was a gem of its Kind, the welcome breathing the spirit of a warm cordiality, and it would have been hard to have had it extended with more grace, or in a more" appropriate manner. The 'ad dress was responded to by Mrs.

S. H. Cross, Sunsbury, in a graceful and i vj expression 01 our apprecia tion. After the exercises were concluded an informal reception was held in the parlors of the church, given the soci ety Dy tne lady members of Trinity's society. There was some very line music, refreshments were served, and every one seemed to enjoy the reception very mucn.

Sunday came us clear and bright, a feeling of quiet sweet rest- Iulness possessed us, for this day was to ns one of true enjoyment. At 11 o'clock, Rev. G. A. Oglesby preached a forcible and highly spiritual sermon to a large audience.

The condition of womanhood in heathen lands was' vividly brought out and the duty of Christain women to send the gospel to them, which is the only source of their being saved. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock another large congregation assembled to enjoy the concert given by the efficient lady manager Mrs. Whitmore and her Bright Jewel Band, and alOud did we all feel like exclaiming, well done, well done. The Bright Jewel was addressed by the talented and gifted Rev. N.

H. D. Wilson of Chapel Hill. It was very pleas ing to children as well as instructive to the grown people. At eight p.

m. a communion and missionary experience service was held, conducted by pastor Rev. John Cole. It was a sweet and solemn hour; as we knelt at the altar and partook of the emblems of the broken body and shed blood of our dear Savior we felt his presence with us. he experiences related were soul- cheering and our hearts turned within us, as one by one the children of our Father told of their interest in the work of missions.

The lengthened services did not weary, so precious was it there. The best of all our annual meetings closed with the benediction by Rev. N. H. D.

Wilson. In conclusion our hearts would go out in sincere thanks to the good people of Durham for the manner in which they so royally entertained us. Mrs. 1. C.

R. IT IS EASY TO TELL. People who fail to look after their health are like the carpenter who neglects to sharpen his tools. People are not ant to get anions about their health soon enough. If you are "not quite well" or "half sick" have you ever thought that your kidneys may be the eause of your sickness? It is easy to tell by setting aside your urine for twenty-four hours: a sediment of settling iudicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.

When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre quent desire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or dull ache in the back Is also con vincing prooi that the Rindneys and blad der are out of order.

Sometimes my hands would become perfectly raw from the scratching or breaking of Ihe pimples. When I was in this condition I tried one-half dozen bot tles of Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy and some Wash in 1884, and by the time 1 took it my hands were and I am now well of the trouble. It has since broken out a little at times, but not enough to inconvenience me or make me try more medicine. Iam now well.
