Our contemporary is mistaken when it
says Cheatham is a lawyer by profession.

THE ENTERTAINMENT AT BURwEEL
HALL THURSDAY NIGHT.-The entertain
r,ent given by the ladies at Burwell Hall
last Thursday night was one of the most
pleasant and creditable things of the kind
we have yet witnessed. The first part
was creditably rendered, Mrs. Henry
Perry, Miss. Sallie Young, Mrs. Thos
ChavaSSc, Miss Willie Smoot, and Mrs
&. \. Lewis performing their parts
with marked success, winning for them
hearty applause. The other members Of
the chorus did we'll, and but for time and
space the GOLD LEAF would mention all
10y name as they deserve. The singing of
Misses Arnold and Hester was much en-
joyed. The broom drill was perhaps the
best feature of the evenings entertainment.
The young ladies went through the manual
Of "arms" with precision that put the
Vance Guards to shame-almost. The COM
pany was Differed by Lieut.. Lewis, acting
commander, Mrs. Thos. ChavasSe 1st Lieu
tenant Mrs. Z. q. Davis 2nd Lieutenant.
Miss Sallie Young Orderly Sergeant. Capt
spected the company, Lieut.. Field acting
Adiutant The ''Order" Of Lieut.. Field was
a unique document and ELECTED laughter
and applause.
The shaker dance ''broUght down the
house" while the cake walk proved a
pleasing feature also. Miss Sallie Young
and Nj. Ed. Young were the winners.
The supper was well. served and bountiful-
ly furnished. The ladies who had the af
fair in charge deserve credit for the success
they made of it, and on behalf Of the citi-
zenS of the town who were present the
GOLD LEAF tenders them thanks for the
enjoyment afforded. The receipts were
very satisfactory, something like 500 being
realized.

HELPS THE ORPHANs.-It~ is great
privilege that the people Of North Carroll
ma possess of contributing to this and other
institutions like it. We confer no favor
upon them by helping them, but every
cent we give them is placed TO our credit
upon the debt that we owe to the Giver of
Ill good and which we can never pay by
our own cXertions. We are sure that the
2oQd people OF North Carolina Will never
allow the little children at the Oxford

suffer Let us see to it that Caldwell helps
them out on the 29th.-L6n0r 1opjc.
