THE CLOStMi CENTURY.

The --itury mow drawing to an end has Witnessed many changes. The world has made wonderful progress. Will the next century. be marked by even greater, progress? Probably, but the Nineteenth Century has brought many improvements upon the past: The railroad, the steamboat, the telegraph, the cotton gin, the sewing machine, the uses of electricity, and a million other things of every use and ii-i-fi ly, which to man's comfort and convenience, immunity from disease and prolongation of life. Surely these things make fT man's betterment.

Who therefore will gainsay that the world is growing better as civilization advances? TiiKoyal Baking Powder t'ompany is reputed to be a very rich concern. That does not make it above beating this oflice. out of an advertising account, however. But of course there is no connection between accumulating wealth and repudiating advertis for plaids, sheetings, drills, domestics, ball cotton, spool thread, and cau deliver goods as cheaply as they can be bought anywhere. Also dealers iu lime, hay, grain, bran, shipstuffs, cotton seed meal and hulls.

Tbey are home people and ask home support. JOHN D. STALLINGS. Naturally when we talk about Christmas we think of good things to eat, as well as tin horns, popcrackers and the like. And the suggestion of good things to eat brings John D.

Stallings' fancy grocery into mind. But it is not alone at Christmas time that you will find the choicest and best in the eating line there. He keeps at all times a well assorted and select line of fancy groceries, canned goods, bottled goods, cakes, crackers, cheese, cereal foods, coffees, teas, syrups, molasses, pickles, olives, spices, flavorings and condiments of all kinds, confectioneries, foreign aud domestic fruits, nuts, raisins, currants, citron, evaporated fruits, In fact almost anything you can name under this beading Mr. Stallings can furnish. And bis stock is fresh aud first-class in every particular, and his prices reasonable.

Special effort bas been made to meet the demands of the Christmas trade. EDWIN STEPHENS. It looks like Santa Claus has made bis headquarters at the Henderson Book Store. There' is almost everything that is pretty and unique, seasonable and serviceable suitable gifts for old and young. Each season's effort seems to surpass the previous oue, and this year's eclipses them all.

The stock is larger, the assortment more varied, the quality better, the prices lower. Indeed, Mr. Stephens is doiug the next thing to giving away goods this Christmas. We are afraid to quote prices on any article for fear you will undervalue the quality. Go aud see for yourself and you'll be surprised at bow much you can buy for little money.

And the selections this year are ahead of anything heretofore undertaken, if anything.

They have one the most modern and complete hard ware stores in the country. And we doubt if there is oue as well kept aud as conveniently arranged anywhere. The systematic order in which everything is kept greatly facilitates things. Thus much larger volume of business can be done with less clerical help and a great deal quicker than the general run of stores. Daniel Co.

are sola agents for the celebrated Buck's Stoves and Ranges "the peace makers" lhari which no better cooking apparatus was ever made. They are all that conld be required in point of perfection in heating aud baking qualities, ease of opera tion and economy in fuel. And when it comes to keeping warm tbere is noth ing better than the genuine Trilby and Hagey's King Heaters. Mr. Danie tells us that he has sold 140 Kiug Heat ers iu the last CO days.

That shows what some people think of them. Nice line of suns and sporting goods of all kinds. DAVIS ROSE In all the years that Messrs. Davis Hose have been engaged in business the present one has been the most sat iafactory'. Their business iu this slosing year of the Nineteenth Century, bus been the largest in the history of the firm.

They have sold more goods to more people throughout a larger terri lory, and not only iu the increased volume of business done but the pleasant relations existing between them' aud their customers do they find cause for special satisfaction. Atid this means something a great deal in fact. It sneaks eloquently for the hisih charac ter of the firm, its well known reputation for fair dealiugs, handling the class of goods the people want and selling same at a reasonable margin or profit. With a view to meeting the demands of their patrons at this season as well as all others Davis Rose have' a splendid stock among which may be fouud many pretty and useful articles suitable for holiday gifts. They extend a cordial invitation to their ricuds and the public generally to call and inspect their goods whether you wish-to buy or not.

OSCAR S. FALKNER. There are whiskies ot various brands but for a pure article competent judges say Harvest" corn whiskey has no superior. This is guaranteed absolute ly pure, Tree from adulteration, and has age to give it that rich and mellow flavor and harmless effect (when taken iu moderation or used medicinally) which connoisseurs so delight in. "Old Haryest" is sold in Henderson ouly by Oscar Falkner, Montgomery street Another famous brand he has is "Old Heury," a pure rye whiskey which stands equally as high as "Old Har vest" each iu its particular class "Pride of Anderson" is also a superior make of pure rye goods.

"If you get it of Hight, it is all right," has come to be an axiom among those who have dealiugs with this reliable Suggestive of holiday gifts is the very pretty and attractive hue of goods displayed by Hight jewelers.

HOWARD. "A merciful man is merciful to his beast." Aud while you may not be bowing any great consideration of your nurse wneu you put a new set or har ness ou him, there is after all a kkid- uess done him. A good collar. harness that is not patched, traces that scar not, a soft saddle that does not rub Ihe back, this is showing mercy to the faithful beast of burden. And then there are blankets with which to cover him when it is cold.

All these things L. T.

JONES. Merit cannot be hid, however modestly it may appear, and although the space occupied in our Christmas cut by Pryce T. Jones, Henderson's artistic and up-to-date job printer, is not at large as some others, it tells its story no less effectually for all that. But however loud or eloquently the advertisement may speak it is not so forcible as Mr. Jones' work speaks for itself! An experienced workman, with taste and skill to properly employ the facilities at his command his work is equal to the best and his prices as low as is consistent with good stock and first-class service.

See Jones when you want good printing done, A new concern in local mercantile circles is the Henderson Grocery Okey Goodrich, manager.

desired. J. II. LASSITER CO. Hendersou has many business houses of which she is proud.

There is perhaps no town of its size where larger or better stocks of are to be fouud. Aud one of the biggest as well as one of the best concerns we have is that of J. H. Lassiter Co. Everything in general merchandise and farmers1 supplies can be found here.

They carry an immense stock of goods and it is as select in quality, as varied iu character and tempting in price as it is mammoth in proportions. Messrs. Lassiter Co. occupy five large store rooms in which are to be found, iu their respective departments, dry goods and notions, ladies fine shoes, dress goods, trimmings, capes, cloaks and men's furnishings, clothing, hats, shoes, groceries, provisions, feed- stuffs, wagons, buggies, all of which are sold at reasonable prices. The proprietors are active, energetic business men, and carry a strictly first-class, well selected stock to which they take pride in calling public atten tion.

NUTRIZIO'S NEW SHOE STORE. As Henderson increases size and importance and her industries multiply and flourish her mercantile interests become more classified. One of the most recent instances of this fact is H. Nutrizio's New Shoe Store the only exclusive shoe store in town. Mr.

Nutrizto occupies one of the store rooms in the Owen Davis brick build iug next to the O'Neil Block. He has a first-class line of goods, all styles and qualities, for men, women and chit dren and sells at very low prices. Every pair marked in plain figures, at a very slight advance on original cost, and every pair represents solid shoe valde. Mr. Nutrizio has but one price and that the lowest.

He claims this is the best policy and he has always adopted it in the conduct of his business. Look for the Bign of the Big Shoe when you want bargains in footwear. GEORGE E. PERRY. While there are many things suit able for the holiday trade it is rather the substantial things of life articles of every day need and consumption that are mostly to be found here.

And of good quality and low price are the goods that Mr. Perry handles. Atten tion is called to a desirable line of dry goods and notions, shoes, bats, with which to adorn the outer man; and staple and fancy groceries, canned goods, confectioneries, fruits, nuts, vegetables, meats, and other things pleasing to the palate and necessary to the comfort and staying qualities of the inner man. Shoes a specialty. Mr.

Perry also buys hides and furs, paying the highest cash prices for the same. Persous having such will find in him a ready buyer. i D. L. PARKER.

"You pays yer money and you takes yer choice," and when it costs the same most people usually want the best. Iu buying, whiskey one generally has to rely upon the brand of the goods or what the dealer tells him. D. L. Parker, at bis place on Montgomery street, handles several makes, bis leaders being "Golden Crowu" aud "Old Oscar Pepper." In the estimation of many no better goods are made.

Be sides these Mr. Parker makes special- tu of Bailey's Pure Corn Whiskey, an article that is guaranteed to be absolutely what is claimed for it, together with several other popular brauds. When you want anything of the kiud at all at Christmas or any other time you want something good and this Mr. Parker promises to give you. Pure old rye whiskey, peach aud apple brandies, wines, rum, draught aud bottle beers, ales, Also fine cigars and tobacco.

ROBERT B. POWELL. A strictly first-class, city like, fancy and family grocery store is Robert B. Powell's. He bas a large and well assorted stock everything in his line and his goods are always fresh and pure.

There is scarcely au article you can call for in canned and bottled goods, fancy and heavy groceries, that Mr. Powell cannot supply. Extensive aa is his business he rarely ever has a call but what can be supplied. In the line of canoed oods he is making a special ty ot tomatoes, corn and peaches, a large stock of which he bought before the advance in prices, and which he is sell ing today cheaper than he can buy the goods. Mince meats and soups, some thing nice, canned pine apples, salmon.

pickles, olives, preserves, jellies, sauces. catsups, etc. Agency for the famous White Star Coffee, "the best on the market." Try it once and you will ase it al way s. Cheese, crackers, cakes. foreign and domestic fruits, nnts, etc.

I visited the Soldier's Home in Raleigh at the meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy on October lGtb, and Mr. W. C. Stronach, the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Home, told us that the Home was in great need of bed clothes, sheet, pillow cases, blankets, eouuterpttDCH and comforts for single bods. Now understand clearly, no matter what you see iu the iieirspiipern or hear people say about it, nobody has given these needful things to the Home, and nobody supports the Home; nor even make liberal donations for its support.

It is in need of everything, and it needs it now. The above is copied from a letter in the Messenger of Hope, published at the Thompson Orphanage, at Charlotte. The letter was ritten by Miss Rebecca Cameron, of. Hilbjboro. Seeing the above someone, went directly to Mr.

Stronach and asked if such a state of affairs did actually exist. His reply was published in the News and Observer. In his letter he said that only had been given the Home within the last year. Of this $050.00 had been given by Gen. Julian S.

Carr to furuish the Hospital, and the State of North. Carolina had given only the remaining $150.03 to support the men who risked life, wealth and health for their country. Since Mr. Stronach's letter. Thanksgiving has come and gone, and some people have rernemberel4he "Old Confeds." Kin-ston's Daughters of the Confederacy had $60.00 in -the bank ami dialled with the Home, sending the old -soldiers $:50.000.
