A WORTHY OBJECT.-The object for
which the concert is to be given at Burwell
Hall next Thursday evening is most
worthy one. The proceeds are to 90 to-
ward finishing the handsome new Methodist
church. There is not great deal to be
done it is true, but the treasury is with
out funds to complete the work just now.
1t has cost considerable money to carry the
work forward to where it now is, and our
Methodist friends really deserve great
credit for having SO beautiful and commo-

they lave. They are anxious soon to COM
plete their new church and come to the
''IIappy Feast Of Dedication, and in this
the GOLD LEAF wishes them God-speed

worthy of the cause Of Christ, of the de-
nomination and Of the growing town of
Henderson, and how we'll they have sue
ceeded is shown in the handsome edifce
erected, the outside and Il larger part of
the inside work Of which is now finished

has been untiring. He has laborei ear
nestly and faithfully to build the new
church and when the finishing touch shall
have been put upon it and the structure is
dedicated to the worship of Almighty God,
he Will be entitled to the thanks Of the en-
tire community, no less than of his conere-
CATION.

Our THANKS, SIR.-A few weeks ago Mr.
D. Y. Cooper told the writer that he wished
us to have our measure taken for a fine
tailor-made suit of clothes. which mutual
friend desired to present us with his COM
pliments and good wishes. We asked Mr..
Cooper who the gentleman was, saying
that there might be some persons from
whom we would not accept such gift
His reply was that there would be no
| trouble on that point, that we could have
no objection if we knew the high character
of the gentleman, his friendship for US and
the motives prompting him. And that was
all he would tell us.
Of course we could not do otherwise than
| as requested, and straightway we went and
| had Mr.. l.. d. Stainback, of Barnes, Stain
| back & Co., to take our measure having
first made a selectioa of the goods. The
order was placed in the hands of Strouse
Bros, of Baltimore, one Of the largest and
most reliable merchant tailoring establish
ments in t he country. In due course thu
suit came and to say that such present i
highly and duly appreciated by us does no
adequately express it. 1t is not every da!
! that North Carolina country editor has
fine tailor-made suit of clothes 'set APP t,
him.
After the goods had been delivered to u
we again asked the name Of our kind an(
generous friend. MI Cooper's reply wa
that he need not say more than that it wa
''the Peabody of the South, North Carroll
mas most foremost citizen, and the State
greatest philanthropist." That was suffi
cient we all know him we'll. The Mo
tiyes that prompted such action are hes
known to the gentleman himself, bu
whatever they are the GOLD LEAF appre
ciateS them at their true value and esteem
the gift high above its intrinsic worth, ant
tenders its sincere and grateful thank
therefor.
