Whittier. the very gentle manly press agent of Hunting's circus, w ritten from Doylestown, Fa., he in- tormed us that they are now moving their way South. They will cross the Chesapeake from Cape Charles Sept. loth, and make their lirst stand in Fasteru North Carolina Sept. I7lh. He says he is not pasted as yet whether thev will play Henderson or not. but hopes to do so. A wish which will tiud many a hearty second on the part of our people who so pleasantly re remember l5ob Hunting's Circus. Mr Whittier savs in passing that this has been a hard season on shows but hi; has lived and paid its bills, salaries .ic. which is saving more than many businesses can boast doing. The South llethlehem .Vac, speaking of a reccn t performance of Hunting's shows m that city, says: "The street parade this forenoon was a tine display and from the hundreds that lined the route was heard nothing but favorable com ment. The show has none of the cheap, catch-penny appearance about it, but impresses one as being a substantial organization for entertainment pur poses. All the wagons, cages, paraph ernalia, etc, are in good condition and the costumes of performers shone re splendent in the sunshine. The show is having splendid success playing to tilled tents everywhere: the perform ances being titst-class and strictly menitorious. II. II. Whittier.Jihe press agent, was formerly on the llostou Post. He has been with Mr. Hunting for two years and his capability as a business man, no less than his geniality has made him successful and popular." -TolKieco Flues.

Cater i: Hester's min strels at IJiirwull Hall last night. Con sidering the meritorious nature of the entertainment given this was to be re gretted. They deserved better pat ronage. The troupe consists of about 10 members, all genuine negroes, who belong in Raleigh. Considering that they are all working men and not pro fessionals they are well drilled and give a very creditable performance. The singing especially Hue, there being some splendid voices, notably among which is that of Charlie Duuston. Walter Jones is an actor, comedian and dancer of real gifts. His work in many respects would do credit to auy burnt cork artist. One of the richest things was the old Virginia cake walk. This would be hard to beat by any company. Take the performance all through it was very meritorious and highly en joyable. The entertainment was strictly refined and such as any audience may witness with perfect impunity. Hy request of mauy persons who stayed away last night under a misap prehension as to tlie character and merits of the entertainment, as well as some who were present, the company has consented to remain and give another show to-night.

Gilmer, principal of Gilmer High School, has concluded to open a "school for girls in connection with his school for boys. They will not be together. lowever, but will be conducted sepa rately in dillereut buildings. With this object in view he has engaged the services of a competent and experi enced lady principal and rented the building formerly occupied by Mrs. I'arhaiu and Mrs. Hornets School. Miss Elizabeth Colton, of Burkes- ville, Ky., will be lady principal. She is a graduate of Mt. Ilolyoke College, ami has made special preparation for teaching, bes'irles having taught for two years since graduation. She is highly endorsed as a lady of rare cul ture and eminent litness for the work to be undertaken, and with the assist ance she will have the school should commend itself to the favorable con sideration and patronage of our people. I rot. Gilmer will have supervision of both schools while doing big work at the Academy as usual. He will be as sisted by Mrs. Gilmer, she dividing her time between the two. Frof. Gilmer expects to have other help also, as re quireinents may demand and patronage justily. The Gold Leak trusts this is but the beginning in the building up of a llouishing and successful school for iris in our town. There is need of such an institution and it is promised if proper encouragement and support are given the school. Kolicl'iii Six Hours.

That one in the old I'.eaufort cemetery which marks the resting place of a Captain in the Itoyal Danish Navy forms the text of a beautiful and most sad story of a sister s love and lasting devotion to an onlv brother. The inscription on it reads !is follows: "To the Blessed Memory of Christian Wulff, Captain in the Koyal Danish Navv. Born in ( openhagen in Denmark. July :U, lSoO. Heis not here but is risen" From a note just to hand we learn the following pathetic story Christian Wulft and his deformed sister who was also an invalid, being the only members left of their immediate family, alwavs traveled together. A favorite CMiitiiie in the Uoval Danish Navy, he was "-ranted a vear't furlough. With his invalid sister he came to I'.eaufort on the baroue Shultz in search of health While at sea. Captain Wulff was taken ill with what at tirst was thought to be vellow fever but afterwards believed to be iaumlice. Soon after disembarking he.lieilnt t he old Atlantic hotel. Hi sister sorrowful and alone in the world turned back to her native land. From York she sent the simple: beautiful stone which now marks her brother's grave. Returning home, she ordered a monument of great si.e and beauty and costliness as a more titt ing mark of de votion to her brother's blessed memory. It was a year or moreiu building. With this treasure on which she had bestowed so much of care and after whose building she had watched with such sacred sis terly affection, she boarded the ocean steamer Prrxi.Unt for I'.eaufort, intending thereto erect it over the grave of her dead. She wished to spend her remain ing days near her sleeping brother's side ami to' keep fresh the Mowers and green the grass that waved and nodded o'er him. even as in his life and at his death she had not lni'it sepcrated from min istering unto him. and then, having slept li.rs.ilf to be laid to rest beside llilil. Sooner than she had hoped or dreamed but shall one say she had not hoped or dreamed it? she was with her brother tin another shore. The IWiiJ'nt. after being sighted far out at sea, went down with her precious freight, no one knows how or when or where. Whether caused by tire or explosion or otherwise, her disappearance was sudden, unse'ii, and mysterious. The vessel never reached anv shore.

A fire would not stand a ghot of a show should it break out in Henderson this week. The town is full of firemen, from all parts of the State. This is the annual tournameut of the State Volunteer Fire Association (colored) anI the "brave fire laddies"' are here in full force. Sixteen companies are represented, some of them by full com plements of men and apparatus, steam engine, hose reels, hook and ladder trucks, A;c.. others bv delegates only. The firemen assembled in Uurwell Hall yesterday morning to listen to an iddress of welcome on the part of the authorities and citizens of the town. This feature of the programme was in order for the day before but was de terred on account of the late arrival of some of the companies and apparatus. I he firemen having been called to order and seated by Chief Marshal James II. Jones, of ltaleigh. Foreman Moses M. Peace, of LOuterprise Hose Co., Henderson, introduced Mr. James R. Youug as representative of the Mayor, who delivered the welcome address. He spoke with earnestness and enthusiasm and warmly praises the men for the self-sacrificing work they are engaged in. Mr. Young's re marks were well received and highly appreciated. He was generously ap plauded and the sentiments expressed were tuch as to call for the suggestion that three cheers be given him, which was done with'enthusiastic acclaim. James Y. Iv.iton, the colored law yer of Henderson, was then introduced to speak on behalt ot his race and in their name to welcome the brave firemen to our town aud to the hearts and homes of his people. lie spoke with deliberation, his remarks being well timed and appropriate. Emphasis was placed upon the words of welcome aud praise so fitly spoken by the gentle man who preceded . himjaud his speech was warmly applauded. Rev. It. H. W. Leak, of Raleigh, Chaplain of the ssociation, responded to the addresses of welcome. He expressed his cordial Appreciation and hearty thanks for all that had been said, and on the part of himself and his associates present he accepted the welcome so graciously ex tended by the people of Henderson and would accept and enjoy the hospitality in the same spirit in which it was given. lie pant a high tribute to James H. Jones, saying that when the per sonal history ot North Carolina shall he written it will be incomplete if his name the man who was instrumental in organ.iing the State Volunteer Fire Association is omitted. The exercises in the hall being over the audience dispersed and the firemen re-formed the parade. Then an exhi bition was given by the Cape Fear Fire Co., of Wilmington, with their handsome steamer. It threw water in single, double and four streams at a time. This attracted a large crowd aud everybody enjoyed the sight. From a 1 J inch nozzh; the steamer threw a stream straight up to a height of over 3i feet, so the foreman informed us. The firemen are a sober, well be haved set of men and have made a fa vorable impression upon our citizens. They have come for a good time as well as a profitable one and to all appear ances they are having it. If they shall demean themselves during the balance of their slay as they have so far, we can say that Henderson will have no cause to regret that it was selected as the place of meeting. The contest will come off this after noon, beginuiug at 2 o'clock. As we can not give the full program of the exercises incident to the tournament, a more detailed report will be published next week.

Tliere was a big reunion of old sol diers at Siler City, Chatham county Thursday before last, when our towns man Col. Rurgwvn was the orator of the day. The Pittsboro Record says this of his address: Mr. 11. A. London, the adjutant of Leonidas J. Merrit t Ca nip, introduced as Hie orator of the day Col. W. II. S. Bui invvn of Henderson. The selection of this o-entleiiian as the orator for this grand occasion was peculiarly appropri ate mid proper. Asa gallant Confeder ate officer he had served in thesameeoin maud with two of our hat ham compa nies, to the surviving members of which who were present he was personally known and who wer- much pleased unci more to meet him. To others of his audience who had not known him per sonally, he was well known by reputa tion, and especially desirous of meeting him wen; the survivors of Companies H. and (i. of the o;th regiment, for he was a brother of their gallant and beloved Colonel, Harry K. Burgwyn, whoseyoung life was extinguished when so bravely leading his regiment at Gettysburg's fateful field. We shall not do Col. Burgwyn the in justice of attempting a synopsis of his magnificent address, for to be fully ap preciated it should have been heard. It was delivered in his peculiarly graceful manner, and was heard with rapt atten tion. While eulogizing all North Caro lina soldiers he was especially compli mentary to our Chatham soldiers, stat ing individual instances of their valor and recalling scenes and incidents famil iar to many of his hearers. His descrip tion of the gallant charge of the Uit h regiment at Gettysburg (in which it lost more men killed and wounded, than any ot her regiment in any battle during the war) was a magnificent word-painting, so vivid, so graphic and realistic that its survivors, who heard him. almost imag ined themselves again dashing through the fierce blaze of fire, that storm of shot ami shell which swept through their ranks with Mich terrible fatality.

Copyrighted by Charles Austin Bates. J People used to say, "Oh, I never pay any attention to advertisements: they never tell the truth." Xow it's different; people do read advertisements, and they believe them. Advertisers are becoming more careful and more scrupulously truthful every day. I know- a linn of advertising agents who also own a med icated soap. 1 said: "Is it really such a wonderful tiling, and do vou take the care you say you do in making it?" The answer was: : 'Of coursed is a good thing. W e have seen too much of advertising to be fools enough to spend money pushing a poor article." Most all ad vertisers understand tins nowadays. and that is why it pays better than it used to. The best place to put an advertisement is in the pupcr that enjoys the confi dence of the community. 1 believe that the standing of the paper rellects on the advertisements it carries. There is an other thought which never occurred to me but which was conveyed in a remark recently made to me by Mr. M. M.Gilliam, the advertising manager ut Wmi- amaker's. He said: "A sleepy paper gathers a sleepy constituency. An alert, wideawake, progressive sheet gets readers who like that sort of thing or lifts them to its level." Wideawake people are the ones most influenced by advertising progressive people, who are not afraid of a new thing or a new idea; people who believe m the paper they read because they have learn ed to rely on it. Depend upon this. If the editorials carry weight, the ads. will pay. 1 at your trust and your money in that sort of a paper. Occasion ly an advertisement will fall flat. The wise man looks for the reason. He doesn't say blindly- "Advertising doesn't pay."' H- looks at the condi tion of general trade, at the weather, at the goods and the price and the way the ad. was worded. This is certain: A readable ad. in a readable paper will be read. Probahly not by all of the readers of the paper, but by a sufficient number to make the ad. pay if the goods are right. Xo doubt about it whatever. It's as sure as sun shine. A cloudy day comes sometimes, but it doesn't stay long. - -4 . The attention of the ladies is called to a nice lot ot heantitiii new prints just received. II. TIIOMASOX. Modern Newspaper Adyert ising. It is not too much to say that the development of modern civilization has been assisted by no agent so powerful as the newspaper; and the progress of all trade, enterprise, and invention, which has distinguished this century, and more especially the lastgeneratiou, has been accelerated by no means more ell'ecUial than newspaper advertis ing. The benefit that conies to a great newspaper from its advertising is infin itesimal as compared with that received by the advertisers themselves and by the public. The opportunity to pur chase the publicity it affords is a priv ilege which is one ot the most impor tant conferred on society by the growth and development of the newspaper. Whatever tends to increase the cir culation aud deepen the respect and confidence in a newspaper, inures directly to the advantage of the adver tiser. KVKIiV PKI'AKTMKNT OF T It A 1 1 K A F FF.CTF.P I1Y IT. Practically every department of trade in New York which has grown lo great activity has been fostered, lirst of all, by advertising. Merchants, not many years ago unknown beyond a narrow neighborhood, have by this means pushed their names and their business into a distinction which extends through the Cuion and even throughout the world. Little shops with a petty trade have developed rapidly into great bazaars under the stimulus of advertis ing. New methods of business, which have inured to the public profit, have been made possible by its means. As the dealer's market has been thus ex tended, he has been able to reduce pr.ces and yet make a far larger gain, because of vastly increased sales. The use of the advertising advantages of a great uewspaper is really only in tlve beginuiug of its development. So far, it has barely touched trade as coni pared with the extent to which it will be carried as business sagacity learns to appreciate its advantages, uuequalled by any and all other methods of invit ing patronage for nearly every depart ment of business.

The art of preparing advertisements so that they shall attract attention and provoke interest is also greatly improv ing at thisltime. They are beginning to be constructed with really admirable literary skill. Their typographical appearance in the newspapers is much better than formerly, especially for the advertiser. The advertisements have become more than ever a principal feature of interesting and important information. Their yalue to the ad vertisers is greater than ever while more than ever the public are looking to them as guides in making their pur chases and Indications of business enter prise by which they can profit. As a rule, in the retail trade more especially, but also to a wide extent in wholesale production, the larger the advertisers the larger is the volume of trade, and the greater the sum of the profits.
