Messrs. I. W. Johnson and Jack Mc-

Next Sunday is Easter, and it will do
more for Christianity if you would wear
your old hat to church and give $lO to the
heathens, than it would for you prance

heathen gets is your wishes for a happy

stop, the opportunities for the world to
live would be cut off.
“Say, brother, give me a few dollars
for the Lord, you will never miss it.”
“What do you mean, sir—that the Lord
owes you and can’t pay you, and you
want me to pay for him; or that yo want
to give the money to the Lord?” “My
brother, I want to give the money to the
Lord.” “Yes, I see now. Well, I expect
I will see him before you do, aud I will
hand it to him in person.”
Mr. Joe Wright is having a room fin
ished up at his residence in a style that

Star store and raise your hat to every
one you meet, for you can’t tell wh ch
one it is, and you may get into trouble.

LEADERS.
Thompson Bros, decorated their show
window with a real live “coon” of the
“Aferkin persuasion” one day last week,
aud it served as a source ®f great amuse
ment to the onlookers. His lips were
painted a gaudy vermilion hue, aud he
was otherwise decorated in a most be
coming style, impressing the public with
the fact that the hosiery surrounding
his “coonship” was of a “fast black”
order in the truest sense of the word.
Rev. T. J. Taylor, of Warrenton, N.
C , will preach a series of sermons at the
Baptist church, commencing Sunday.
The pastor, Dr. Gardner, believes the
church will be greatly benefited by this
distinguished divine’s visit to our town.
We hope all our people will go out and
hear him. The good people of Jackson
of g.ll denominations are looking forward
to a revival in all the churches, and it is
to be hoped-their prayers will be lealized
and much good accomplished.
Mr. J. A. Fouche, editor of the Henry
County Weekly, accompanied by bis
charming wife and son, were the guests
of Mr. *ifnd Mrs. George Thompson, on
Tuesday of this week. Mr. Fouche is a
gifted newspaper man, and is earning an
enyiable reputation as a fluent writer,
among us poor, jaded editors of rural
istic proclivities. The only thing which
puzzles our mind is endeavoring to solve
the question: “How on earth he ever
succeeded in getting such au admirable
lady for a wife;” but such is the case,
and as we said before, they were both
down here on Tuesday of this week.
Tbe opening of the Star Store was a
grand success in every sense of the word.
The store rooms were arrayed in such a
manner as to present a most lovely pic
ture, and reflected great credit upon the
employees who designed the work.
The Star Store can be found in the front
rank of mercantile establishments and
is drawing trade from adjoining counties
to this point. Their milliner has arrived
and taken charge of this department, and
to say that they will do the millinery bus
iness of this section is only half the sen
tence. Mr. Daughtry is thoroughly
versed in the needs of the people and
will see to it that only the best of goods
are kept at this establishment.
Third Street hot for Sale.
We have one acre of laud fronting on
Thiid street for sale. On the lot is a
