enforced. The law is not enforced as it
should be. Its frisnds-if it has any-are

There ought to be humane society in Hen
derson, for the better protection of the
poor dumb beasts, add alo to look after and
administer to the needy and suffering of
our own fellow creatures.

representing Tippett & Wood, builders of
water towers, water works, &c, Phil
lIpsburg. New Jersey, have been in lien
derson for past few days comforting with
j our town authorities and citizens with re-
gard to establishing water works in Hen
derson. The gentlemen represent strong
syndicate and make very reasonable prop
ositio;.s, and the GOLD LEAF hopes to See
the scheme ON Tbot put through. Hender-
son needs a system of wafer works and a
first-class hotel more than anything else,
perhaps.
