DEATH OF II. I. KIM HALL.
A press dispatch from Boston, Mass.,
announces the death of Mr. Hannibal
I. Kimball, which will be deeply
regretted throughout the South, anil
especially in Atlanta, (la., his home.
He died at the residence of his brother,
K. N. Kimball, in Ilrookline, near
lloston, late Sunday night. Mr.
Kimball had been living in Atlanta
twenty-five years subsequent to the
war. He was one of the moving
spirits in the development of several
railroad enterprises of the South, not
only in investing a large part of his
own fortune, but bringing a large
amount of Northern and foreign
capital into the country.
Almost the last enterprise with
which he was identified was the open
ing of a new railroad line in Oregon.
He was a banker and dealer in high
class securities, having offices in
Atlanta, New York and London. He
considered Atlanta as his home,
although he has resided for the past
few years in New York city. He was
a close friend of the late Henry W.
(Irady, of the Atlanta Constitution.
Mr. Kimball gave munificently to
the city of Atlanta and donated the
capital building to the State of
Georgia. He was the proprietor of
the Kimball House, in Atlanta, and
was the organizer of the Pullman
Palace Car Company.
Mr. Kimball was the director
general of the Atlanta Cotton Exposi
tion last year, and during the World's
Fair he was president of the board of
judges and took an active part in
promoting the welfare of the exposition.
There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
togother, aiid until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. Fo'r a great
many years doctors pronouueed it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
iScience has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. It is taken in
ternally in doss from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and tes

before there came a letter from Polly's
'nele Johh. down here in the Old
North State, who wrote ellueivelv ot
his delight at her exhibition of what
ie called "grit," aud he proposed that
F the voung people would come to
Iender.son and leeate, he would start
them un in life as a weddiug gift, and
nt the same time trive them a lot of
good practical advice. Of course they
accented, and were soon bidding their
friends adiea.
i -
A few weeks &ub e(;uent to the above
conversation a tn vel-stamed party
arrived at Henderson. Our friend,
Uncle Josh, was in charge and he led
them straightway to Massenburg's
Hotel. Depositing their baggage aud
.t 11 il
securing rooms, me oiu genuemau
began to grow talkative. "This,"
said he, " is a typical Southern hotel
of the best class. 1 have known Jim
Masseuburg, the proprietor, for years
mil he is mine host after mine own
heart. A thorough business man,
endowed with that delightful intuition
that makes a guest feel at home, com
fortable, contented, and in mighty good
luck. Why, he treats his guests so
friendly that you'd be sure he was a
candidate for constable, or something.
There is only one Jim Massenburg,
uid he runs the best hotel in North
Carolina. The house is one of con
venience; the apartments are well
furnished; and the cuisiue Well, if
any body thinks they can feed better
than friend Masseuburg they'll have to
.ret out of this market. You can make
yourselves at home here till the house
I have deeded to you is m readiness."
After breakfast they were ready to
make the rounds of the town to get the
outfit for house keepiug.
' As I have already provided you
with a cage for your bird," said Uncle
Josh, the first thing we'll look after
furnishings for it." Hereupon Polly
energetically declared that she had
heard so much about Alex. T. Barnes'
fin 11 i lure establishment that she had
decided to go there. The result was
that they were ushered into such a
bewildering display that the girl was
at first at a loss how to select. But
she soon yielded to the seductiveness
of a magnificent parlor suite, a bed
room set in oak, antique finish, fiat
would have done credit to old Antiquity
herself. To this she added a diuing-
rinmi set with all accessories, together
with carpets, mattings, &c, and didn't
forget a most convenient and orna
mental writing desk for "Hubby"
Charles.
" A pretty good start," said the old
man, " and now we'll go to Daniel &
Co's hardware store for something in
his line." Here Polly's hojsewifely
instincts had full play in marvels of
kitchen apparatus. There is not an
establishment in the country that
carries a more comprehensive stock of
household furnishings. Every possible
piece of kitchen furniture, from a. tin
dipper to a cooking stove is here in all
6tyles and variety. If Polly fads to
accomplish wonders in the culinary
art, it will not be for want of superior
cooking utensils, for she purchased a
" Parmer Girl"' cook stove with all
equipments needed in a well regulated
kitchen, and oue of the celebrated
" King Heaters," of which she declared
Mie had heard so much.
Let's see I promised you a gold
watch, didn't I ?" queried Uncle Josh
of Polly, "and E. E. Hight & Co's is
the very place to get one cheap."
Thereupon the old man gallantly
acquitted himself of the promise and
then directed Polly's attention to the
superior stock of silverware carried by
this firm. " There is no other such
house in town," said he, " and I wil
guarantee tue quality to be me very
best. Pick out your family clock while
here, he added. " Hight & Co. carry
a magmncent line, as you will see
jou t iorgei another tact," he con
tinued, "if ever you unfortunately
need optical goods, this is the place to
come. They have everything required
to improve affected eyes, and say.
Charley, when that old ' turnip' of
yours breaks down, remember Mr
Hight can fix her up in ship shape."
"Oh!" ejaculated Polly, as they
halted before a window, what a perfect
ly lovely slipper." "les,"said Uncle
Josh, "Davis & Rose's stock cau't be
equalled in style and extent in this
section. Go iu, look it over aud get
acquainted." It might have been pol
icy not to have extended that iuvita
tiou, had not L nele Josh known what
wise economy it is to trade with Davis
& Hose, for Polly found goods and
prices so seductive that she purchased
an outfit from a comfortable house
slipper to a handsome walking boot
Charley invested iu gents' hue shoes
winie L nele Josh indulged m a stout
pair tor his own use. No one needing
footwear cau resist the styles and
prices offered by Davis & Rose.
"Now I must have an album, Uncle
Josh, exclaimed Polly, "aud
"les, and a Bible with a bis family
register,' religiously observed the old
man, "so now we'll go to Edwin Ste
phens book store. You'll find many
articles iudispensable for the parlor as
well as the library there, and as for
variety Mr. Stephens has an uuequalled
biock. 5.0 nere roily s purchases in
Liuueu miscellaneous books, fancy ta
tiouery, all the latest agonies, brica
brac of all manner for the centre-table,
heuse decorations, wall paper, pictures,
picture frames, hammocks aud such.
Polly remarked to the generous old
uncle, "Why, I don't know when to
quit buying. Mr. Stephens sells such
nice goods and so cheap, too."
" While I think ofit," remarked Uncle
Josh, as they reached the street, "I
must run over to the Citizens Bank
and get another check book. Come
with me and get acquainted with Mr.
J. IL' Owen, the President, and Mr.
W. A. Hunt, the Casnier, tor, 01
course, you will do business with them
and it is always mort pleasant to be
personally acquainted with the people
vou have dealings of this kind with.
The bank is as solid as the base of the
universe, and has a strong working
capital. You will find the officials
clever and courteous gentleman, ever
ready to extend any accommodations
compatible with business principles."
"I would like tomakeyouacquainieu
with Dr. Francis A. Macon, my den
tist friend, also," said theoldman. "If
yon ever nave 10 Hupuiemeui jwm
natural teeth" "Ugn: uon i you
mention false teeth to me," cried Polly.
"I'll never carry 'pearly lies' in my
mouth if I go toothless," "Oh, as for
that." laughed Uncle Josh, "if you'll
only consult a good dentist in time you
can save the catastrophe. Dr. Macon,
for instance, is wonderfully expert in
saving natural teeth, and he has the
skill and every mechanical appliance
neceesary to do his work with the
least discomfort to his patrons."
" Halt !" commanded Uncle Josh as
the party came in front of Melville
Dorsey's handsome drugstore. " Walk
ri"ht in." " Why, Uncle, we're not
sick, and" " Guess I know that, but
I suspect it won't be long before this
young man begins to take an interest
in matters ot paregoric aua
" U-n-c-l-o !" " Well go in anyway,
Pollv mav find some toilet articles she
wants." Sun enouzh before leaving
she was loaded down with combs,
hrushes. face powders, and ounces
unon ounces of due imported perfumes
" Don't forget," added Uncle Josh,
" to come here with your prescriptions
as Mr. Dorsey and his clerks are com
petent pharmacists and use only pure
and wholesome drugs." The old man
then invited his wards to take a treat
nt. Dorsev'9 soda fount and ordered it
to " sizz" till thev had all they could
drink.
" You may want something m the
ine of fine printing," said Uncle Josh
to Charles, " aud likely as not roily
must have some nice visiting cards.
Right across the street there is th
place to get such as that. Mr. Pryce
T. Jones conducts a first-class job
printing establishment and you will be
pleased with both his work ana prices
Every merchant and business man
should use good, neat stationery
something that will 'catch the eye,' so
to speak, of his customers. It is nec
essary. in order to get good printing,
to co to those who are prepared to do
it in the best manner, with a touch of
beauty and in a style that is up-to-date
in every particular. It requires mate
rial and experience to do thes things,
aud Mr. Jones has both."
At this lioint. somewhat to the con
fusion of Charles, the old man indulged
in a half serious criticism of his per
sonal appearance. " Now, young man,
let me give you a pointer," remarked
the ireuerous old uncle. "Do not
understand me to say that clothes make
the man, but I do affirm that they
make the nice appearing man. You
are decidedly oil' style for a townsman,"
said he, " and we'd better so to Barnes'
Clothins Store." After Charles had
fitted himself in a neat late style suit,
from the piles of garments that cover
the tables of this extensively stocked
establishment, Uncle Josh declared
" Now vou look like a newly married
man and city chap sure enough
Before leaving, having found goods
and prices irresistible, Charles also
invested in a complete outfit of gents'
furnishings, from the latest style hat
to a dozen shirts, collars, cuffs, hosiery,
handkerchiefs, ties, &c. Barnes' Cloth
ing Store is not to be undersold by
any similar house in the State.
Just here Uncle Josh suggested
a resort to some place of refreshment.
At the refreshment table the old
man waxed philosophical. "Never
neglect your larder, that important
adjunct to housekeeping control mas
culine temper. To that end you must
patronize a grocer on whom you can
depend tor honest goods. Through a
long term of dealing I have found
Covington & Stewart perfectly relia
ble. You will find them careful deal
ers, always full stocked with every
possible thing in the line of staple aud
fancy groceries, fresh and first-class,
no shelf-worn goods there while the
prices are down to brass tacks"
"I declare, Uncle," exclaimed Char
ley, "there goes a handsome phseton;
I must have one like it for the girl
"Jiaiougli said, you shall nave one
just like that if you wish," remarked
the old man. "You see my friends

They carry surreys, carriages, buggies
and pluetons of leading makes and
styles, besides single and two-horse
wagons of the best make and are
satisfied with a moderate profit. Polly
was soon the possessor of a handsome
carriage.
"And if you ever take a notion logo
to farming and make bright tobacco
for the sale of which this market stands
in the front, Harris' Warehouse is the
place to sell it. There you will always
get highest prices tor your product aud
be assured of fair dealing and clever
treatment," said Uncle Josh by way of
a little side remark to nephew Charley
"As you are going to keep a horse,"
remarked Uncle Josh, "you'll need
harness. The boss horse milliner in
this town is L. T. Howard. He uses
only first-class material and gives per
sonal supervision to the minutest detail
of manufacture. There is nothing in
this hue that cau not be had of him
heavy and light, single and double,
plain and fancy, work and buggy bar
ness. He has them all in stock, be
sides every other kind of turf goods
imaginable." After a visit to the har
ness establishment of Mr. Howard,
Charley said he thought "if a man
couian 1 get sausnea it was nis own
fault," and he expressed himself
pleased with Mr. Howard's candor and
fairness.
"Oh, say, Uncle," exclaimed Polly,
"where can I go for some dry g-ds?
inn uress is hardly suitable, I must
admit." "Well, my girl, if you want
to select from oue of the most exten
sively stocked establishments in the
city, we will go back to Davis & Rose's
where we went this morning to buy
shoes. They carry a stock of dress
goods that for variety and real value is
seldom seen outside the large metro
politan cities. They have all the la
test weaves in fashionable dress goods
and you are sure to be guided right in
your selections. You have already
tound Davis ac Rose pleasant to deal
with and their employees polite and
expert, while the prices cannot be du
plicated. "Law, Sakes!" suddenly exclaimed
Uncle Josh, "all this trading and shop
ping round town has caused me to for
get one of the greatest essentials to fu
ture existence. I have heard it said
that newly married folks could live on
love and scenery, but au old man of
experience knows better . Your table
would look slim without bread, it's the
staff of life, you know. Polly, you
THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF
must come with me to Whitmore's
bakery. His bread, pies, cakes and
nick-nacks are couceded by all to be the
finest on earth. Remember, Charley,
there is no use of your 'ootsy tootsy'
bothering herself much about cooking,
so long as there is a good baker in town
like Mr. Whitmore." At the bakery
Polly satisfied her sweet tooth by get
ting several pounds of fine confections,
of which Whitmore keeps the largest
and choicest stock in town.
While the old gentleman was pon
dering where to go next, Polly suddenly
asked: "Uncle, where cau I find a
millinery establishment?" "Goodness
me," exclaimed Uncle Josh, "I had
almost forgot that women wore hats
aud bonuets with flower gardens and
birds' wings on them. Why, right
across there iu that big building of S.
& C. Watkins' you'll find everything
you are looking for in millienry. Miss
Thomas will take pleasure iu waiting
on you and she has ou haud this season
one of the nicest stocks to be lounu in
the city. You can get what you want
there, the latest styles aud lowest
prices being her motto. She has the ex
perience which guarantees your work
will be done by a competent artist.
And by the way she will show you a
choice lot of summer goods, sailors.
new shapes in white and colors, &c."
"Those house fixings remind me,"
said the old man, "that you haven't
got your dishes yet. The most famous
stock in extent, quality and complete
ness can be found right here at Y at-
kins' and while we are about it we
might as well make a complete job and
save time and trouble. No use to go
elsewhere to do better." But the av
erage reader need not be told what an
array of table-ware Polly had to select
from, for there isn't positively, a thin
in the line of China, crockery, glass or
porcelain needed for use or ornament
in any part of the house that cannot be
found at S. & C. Wtkins' in indefinite
variety and at wonderfully low prices
Thev also have a splendid stock of
lamps ot every description, and cutlery
in abundance. Polly's order suggested
her thorough appreciation.
LBy the way," exclaimed Uncle
Josh, with a parental air, "the next
thing to look after is the material tor
those improvements which are abso
lutely necessary. Come with me and
I'll introduce you to D. W. Hardee,
who is the principal dealer in that line
here. He carries the most complete
stock of building materials iu the coun
trv everything from the sills for the
foundation to the 6hingles for the roof,
including doors, windows, sash, blinds,
mouldings, etc., also lime and cement.
It is a pleasure to deal with Mr. Har
dee, for his greatest aim is to give sat
isfaction to every customer. Charley
found what he wanted and remarked to
Uncle Josh that he was convinced that
Hardee is a pretty good man to tie
to."
" Now," cried the old gentleman,
the next thing we must have a picture
of this crowd, in good old fashioned
style. We'll go to the photograph
gallery, and Ilouff Bros, have a first
class one. Their pictures are wonder
ful in fidelity and finish. I want oue
full-sized photo for my study and some
small ones for my friends. Ilouff Bros.
are famous for successful enlarging,
and I want to give you a life-size rep
resentation of ' yours truly.' They
have the souls of true artists, and their
work is a labor of love in which they
will not stop short of perfection."
At last the day's work was finished ;
so they repaired to the hotel, some
what wearied, but a bottle of wine
Uncle Josh had ordered up from S. S.
Whitten's soou revived them into a
cheery mood. While enjoying the
sparkling beverage, Uncle Josh warned
the young folks against the evils of
over-indulgence in drink of any kiud,
but vouchsafed this information, how
ever, that on certain occasions, wines
would doubtless be necessary also to
have something strictly pure about the
house for medicinal purposes; that Mr.
Whitten was the proper person to
apply to for these extras, aud he con
tinued, in addition to keeping a full
stock of the best in his line, Mr.
Whitten also bottles all kinds of soft
drinks and can supply the trade with
ginger ale, soda, sarsaparilla, and the
like.
Upon summing up the wonderful
events of the day, Polly begau to
volubly express her thanks. "You
have bought us everything," she
exclaimed.
" Only one thing," replied Uncle
Josh, reflectively, " but I can remedy
that. Alex T. Barnes, the furniture
man, always has a nice line of them
and you can get one whenever you
want it; I'll pay for the best."
" W-h-y," exclaimed Polly with
great surprise, "Uncle, what can it be?"
" Yes, Barnes has a large stock, all
styles and prices, beautifully uphol
stered, with canopy top, open and "

WHY MR. BUNN TOOK TIIE PLACE.
The Washington correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer says the expla
nation of ex-Congressman Bunn's being
appointed post master at Rocky Mount
is that finding opposition to his nomi
nation of Mr. Wilcox, who resides in
the Nash county portion of the town,
he resolved, after discovering that the
opposition would not be withdrawn,
to take the appointment himself and
let Mr. Wilcox be assistant. Of course
Mr. Bunn will not abandon his impor
tant law practice to be post master of
a small town. He simply retains the
post mastership for Nash county and
the fourth district and keeps it in the
family.

MR. HUSKY'S OtES LETTER.
The North Carolinian Says the Con
striictiou Pat Upon It Is Unfair.
f Washington Post, April 27th. I
Kditok Post: I noticed the following
paragraph in a recent Lssue of your
paper :
Mr. W. K. Henry, of North Carolina,
has written a five-column letter m which
he lays bare tiie inconsistency
incapacity of the Democratic party
Henrv failed to capture the cousulate
Rio. but all along stood ready to take
"something equally as good."
Said oarasrranh a not a full ami fair
construction of the open letter which I
recently rjublished throughout North
Carolina, addressed to ex-Senator M. W
Ransom, and which has been heartily
indorsed hv at least three-fourths the
people of the State.
I have been a Democrat thirty-seven
vears. and have labored for the party
fifteen. I have repeatedly canvassed the
State. I was indorsed by three btates,
at the beginning of this administration,
for a consul treueralship. home cowardly
Democratic journals in North Carolina
have attempted to shield Ransom from
my letter, being unable to deny the facts
and conclusions stated therein. I demand
fair treatment.
Your naoer is one of the Greatest of
the country. I do not think you would
intentionally misconstrue my letter
addressed to ex-Senator Ransom, but
the above construction is not fair.
While I incidentally touched upon the
trlarine: inconsistencies of this adminis
tration and the last Congress, and shall
condemn them unqualifiedly, it must be
patent to every one that the main object
of my letter was to expose and denounce
Minister M. V . Kansom : and 1 hope you
will not do me the injustice of letting
your statement stand, to the effect that
the only object of my letter was to either
directly or indirectly attack the adminis
tratioii, and the Democratic party
I have said nothhig whatever against
the Democratic party. My remarks have
been in regard to incompetent, treacher
ous, aud corrupt aaeucies at the head ot
the party.
I regard an attempt to shield them as
a blow at the party. 1 stand lor Demo
cratic principles, but I despise and shall
denounce those who disguise their laise
