Dunkley was shot in the corner of the eye, close to the nose, with an air rifle car.elessly handled by another boy. There the shot (turkey size) has re mained imbedded an inch or two back from the point of entrance. Doctors examined it and as it diduH cause any particular trouble they thought it best to let it alone. Recently, how ever, the desire to have the shot re moved possessed George anew. He consulted Dr. Bass and was told that it could be removed without danger to ! the eve or other organ. The opera tion was undertaken and successfully performed by the Doctor, delicate and difficult "as it was. Instead of carrying the leaden pellet around in his "head George now has it in his pocket, whereof he is proud. . . .

A Bdquet for the Cold Leaf. The Henderson Gold Leaf of last week began its nineteenth volume. Eighteen years ago Thad R. Manning flung his banner to the breeze, and gave our sister town a bright, clean, newsy weekly and the growth and improvement of his enterprise has been constant ever since. It is a source of gratification and pride to any town to have such a journal. llis work has been laborious and much of the way has not been strewn with flowers. His brethren will re joice in his success and hope that when he sits down to his Christmas dinner, he mav have all his heart desires, and the coming year be full of blessings and prosperity, despite the paper trust, and their constant rising to remark on prices.

Witt Shoe Company, Lynchburg, Va., one of the largest wholesale shoe houses in the South, has 22 traveling salesmen. Recently they offered a prize of $25 in gold to the man doing the biggest business in a sr'iven time 16 days. Our townsman, Mr. W. O. Shannon, was the winner, his house just notifying him of the fact and congratulating him thereon. Mr.4 Shannon is a hustler and the Gold Leaf banked on him. The total amount of orders sent in during the time the contest was in force amounted to $188,192. Pretty big business that, and yet it is not an exceptional half month's business for the George D. Witt Shoe Company. We congratulate Mr- Shannon upon his success and the house upon hav ing such a capable and successful man in its service.

Mr. Wyckoff has had the sympathy of his friends during his sickness and they congratulate him upon coming out of the trouble all right. Beler Wortham is getting on all right his sickness being so slight as to cause little concern to himself or others. He has not been sick enough to take his bed, nor has he stopped work even. Mr. Wortham it will be recalled has a mild case of varioloid. He lives about three miles from town. AUGUST FLOWER. "It is a surprising fact, says Prof. Hou ton. "that in my travels in all parts of the world, for the last tea years, I have met more people having used Green's August i lower than anv other remedy, for dyspep sias, deranged liver and stomach, and for constipation. I find for tourists and sales men, or for persons falling orbce positions, where headaches and general bad feelings from irregular habits exist, that Green's August Flower is a grand remedy.

Bought Out His Associates In the Hardware Business An Up-to-date Establishment of its Kind. As will be seen by advertisement published elsewhere Mr. Samuel Wat kins has purchased the entire capital stock of the Watkins Hardware Corn pay, also the stock of hardware, goods, merchandise and other property of same. He will continue the business at the same place, under the name of the Watkins Hardware Company, Samuel Watkins, proprietor, and solicits a continuance of the same liberal patronage accorded them heretofore. The sjtock of goods, already large and varied, will be greatly added to at once and it will be the aim of the proprietor to have in Henderson one of the most com plete and up-to-date hardware stores to be found outside the large city wholesale houses. Everything in hardware and every thing of the very best quality for the money asked is the motto. In a stock so extensive, in a line so varied it would t be impossible to enumerate even if it were necessary, but special attention is called to the line of Garland stoves and ranges, "the worlds1 best," and the celebrated Majestic steel ranges, the leaders in their class. There are no better goods made. They are the pride and satisfaction of the housewife, the joy and comfort of the cook. Garland Juniors are quick bakers, simple in operation and the best of their class on earth. That's the claim of the manufacturers and they are sold with a written guarantee. The oven door is lined with Garland allu minum plate, and is opened by a tap of the foot on the "kicker." The oven top is extra thick and is ce mented, and the oven is more nearly square than in most goods. The res ervoirs are porcelian-lined cast iron, and can be lifted out for cleaning. They can be detached or added at any time. Grates can be replaced with out interfering with the water con nection.

Dr. William Fklwin Hall, of New York, one of the foremost platform lecturers in this country, has again gladdened Henderson (those who heard him)by his matohless eloquence. Dr.IIall had been here before and those who had heard him knew what was in store for them when a lecture was an nounced. He delivered a free re ligious lecture at Cooper Opera House Sunday afternoon, his subject being "Yesterday, To-day and Forever." Sunday night he preached in the Methodist Episcopal church on "The Resurrection." Both were very fine efforts and greatly enjoyed by those who were fortunate enough to hear him. Monday night at the Opera House Dr. Hall delivered his popular humor ous lecture "How to Get Married and Stay So," to which admission was charged. There was a combination of fact and fancy, pathos and poetry, wit and wisdom, satire and senti ment, humor, logic, eloquence rarely equaled. Dr. Hall is a master of pure English and it is a rich treat to near him. Overcoats!

The annual supper of the Vance Guards came off rriday night. About 50 members of the Company were present and besides these there were a number of invited guests, prepara tions having been made to entertain one hundred persons. Ihe menu consisted of oysters, turkey, ham. breads, pickles, olives, celery, etc The oooking was of the highest order everything being perfectly prepared Never vere oysters finer stewed nor better coffee brewed. And everything else was equally well served. It was an elegant affair and was sumptuously enjoyed by every person present. Where so many had a part in making the supper a success and con tributing to the enjoyment of their guests we cannot particularize, much as they may merit individual praise. Suffice it to say it was a successful affair in every particular, characteris tic of the Vance Guards on occasions of this kind. Short and appropriate speeches were made by Col. Burgwyn, Rev. A. McCullen, Chaplain Third" Regiment, Maj. Jones, Third Regiment, Col. Macon, Quartermaster General, J. H. Bridgers, Esq., Capt. Smith, Capt. Povthress, and others.

Ten years ago the fountain pea was looked upon as a luxury. But it power of utility grew, and every year added to the thousands who found it a necessity, until to-day in counting room, on the merchant's desk, the clergyman's study, in the scholar's "den," in newspaper offices, in colleges and schools, aud also in the pockets of the multitude, you will find the fountain pen. And nine times out of ten it's a Waterman Ideal. The credit for this revolution is due mainly to the Waterman Ideal Fountain Pen, which stands unrivaled, the foun tain of perfection. The Waterman pen never disappoints. It mechanism is per fect. It writes better than any steel pen. You don't have to shake" it, be cause the ink is always ready and flows evenly and smoothly. If any one is in doubt as to the utility of the Waterman Fountain Pen, let him use one for a week and then try to give it up. Then see what cruelty t nereis in the old style ink pot and corroded pen. The - Waterman Fountain Pens are made in many styles to tit many purses. Some are mounted in ornate gold and silver designs; others in a variety of styles to please any fancy.

McCullen and they are by no means confined to his own congregation that he is to leave Henderson. For three years he has been in and out among us and during that time we have learned his worth and come to love him. He has served the Methodist Episcopal church as pastor well and faithfully. The town is better for his having lived in it. While we regret to see him leave it is gratifying to know that the lines have fallen to him in pleasant places for the ensuing year. He goes to Oxford and to the (rood people of that towa we most cordially com mand him and his excellent wife. The cheerful and faithful manner in which Mr. McCullen has met the duties and responsibilities devolving upon him and the able and accept able manner in which he has served his people, has bound him with peculiar ties of appreciation to not only the Methodists of Henderson but to those of other denominations and members of no church as well. His work has been successful and he eaves it in gcod condition. Again we sav Henderson regrets the removal of Mr. McCullen and he has the sincere wishes of every one for the fullest measure of success in his labors and health and happiness in aounuance lor himself and his family. Proud of His Son. Mr. Thos. Coppinger, Dayton, Tenn., says: i nave used Kamon s L.iver .Tills and Tonic Pellets for years, and cannot say enough of them for the good they have done in my family. 1 wish to tell you specially what they did for my youngest son. AVe thought he was too little to take pills, but when he saw the rest of us taking our usual Tonic Pellet at night, he would cry for one also. So we commenced giving them to him regularly, and from a pale, delicate child he improved immediately, and lately he is as robust a lad as ever breathed mountain air, rosy-cheeked, and he looks as healthy as any big fat Irishman you ever saw. For sale by The Dorsey Drug Co. Prof. Alderman's Lecture. On Friday evening, December 16th, the chapel of the Henderson Female College was filled with an audience eager to hear the lecture of Mr. Alderman. The room was beautifully decorated with holly, and the paintings and crayon pictures adorning the walls drew forth many admiring comments. Ihe pupils rendered a choice selection of music and recitations in a charming manner. Mr. Alderman chose as his subject Ihe Opportunities of Woman," handling it in an exceedingly original and striking man ner. He stated many callings open to the ambitious woman besides the one pre-eminently her own, the home maker. After urging upon the young ladies the importance of being well qualified for any position they might wish to occupy, he related, from his own experience, many very ludicrous answers given by appli cants for teachers certificates, showing their utter unfitness. Ke presented to them jn glowing terms as examples worthy of emulation Queens Elizabeth, Victoria, Florence Nighten gale, Clara Barton, and from our own State's history the noble woman who, by her entreaties and persistence, prevailed upon the Legislature to establish an asy lum for our unfortunate insane. The lecture was highly, calculated to impress one with a longing for all that is elevating and useful in life and must give to the young a lofty impetus winch will result m nobler aspirations.

HERE IS NO MORE beautiful custom than the time-honored one of Christ mas giving, when it is observed in the i true spirit; that is, when the gifts are those of love, not of imagined obliga tion. Present giving at Christmas time is of heathen origin. During the yuletide season our heathen ancestors were wont to make conciliatory offerings to their deities, whose per sonal movements and direct inter ferences on earth were supposed to be traceable at that period. Later, when the church Christianized the custom, the giving of reciprocal gifts so beautifully symbolical of God's great love gift of a Saviour to a lost world was substituted for the heathen observance. Make the season one of joy su preme. Let the Christmas spirit permeate everything, from the vine wreathed windows, the yule log on the hearth, the tree laden with love offerings, down to the specially pre pared dishes. But count not your day a success if the Christmas cheer is confined to your own fireside. Forget not those homes upon whose hearths no yule log is burning. Alas! they are all too numerous. Seek out such an one, and transfer to it at least one ray of the sunshine which gladdens your own heart and home. Katharine E. Mcgee, in Ladies' World. Elko Vinegar for Pickling-.

The Festival of Motherhood. Christmas is the festival of mother hood. It calls our thoughts back to our own beginning to her who gave us birth to her to whom above every other human being we owe all that we are for erood all that we might have been and are not.
