Mr.. A. A. WOODS,

Dear Sr:-In February, 1879. was in
duced to apply to the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States, for
81, 900 of insurance and being DESTROYS of
being covered for 10 years at the very low
tine Savings Funds Policy at ordinary life
rates, TOntine period 10 years.
The TOntine period of this policy has eX-
PRED, and having made a settlement of
same, take pleasure in stating that the
results have not only been equal to the es-

The Henderson PostOfIice Again.
! EDITOR GOLD LEAF In the last issue
Of your paper notice short cOmmunica-
ton signed Republican" in which he
says, speaking of the Henderson postoffice,
Hon Ii. P. Cheatham l know endorsed
I the petition of a cOlOred man with strong
home endorsements and personal recon-
lnlendations of four or five attorneys. the
Mayor and several business men of len.
derson. My authority is personal knOwl-
edge of the above while in Washington,
D. C." Now if the above statement be
true-and l presume it is. as l take il
for granted that the author is man of toe
much intelligence to make such fragrant
assertions without sufficient foundation tC
Iprove the same-I must say that any mar
or set of men who would back up a black
Republican for the important and honor
able Office of postmaster of Henderson, tt
the detriment of two worthy white widow
ladies, and also to the detriment Of thu
lpresent worthy incumbent, merits thu
severest censure to say the least of it.
. / think it would have been in bad tast
for any good Democrat to "enderse" will
personal recommendations the coloret
man alluded to under any circumstances
much less when it was known that tw
worthy and deserving ladies were aspirant
for the Office. 1t is passing strange tina
men who have heretofore been regarded a
good Democrats and proved their faith b.
, their works, should with all the light
before them Gas it seems to me the
must have had) "endOrse' Satterwhit
! with personal recommendations 10
what? TO run his dray business mere Ell
fectually? Oh, no he was already doin
we'll. What then, to aid him in establish
ing himself elsewhere? By no means h
e had no idea of leaving Henderson. H
: wants to be postmaster, and L have II
Il doubt the names of some of the person
5 who gave him such strong home endorse
!, ments and personal recommendations
: stand out in bold relief on the petitions {
the ladies above alluded to. True DemOt
racy at this time should be regarded as
common cause in which we are all intel
~ ested in which we should all be engaged
>, but deem it of little use to point OF
what may eventually be the result of il
j. judicious acts.
|. BY the way, there are also charges thu
have been made against some other prt
> Tossing Democrats, such as voting for Sin
mons and working for Chatham, Will
e others still went a step further and vote
e for him. If these charges are true VIII
II has the light not been turned on befOl
e now?
v In conclusion, will say that Republ
il cans" remarks about Mrs. Col. Ike Y Oun
is were in bad taste and uncalled for, an
l. further he blows Tom Harris horn to
e loud. TOmmy'S grapes are sour. That
e think from what he says that the Hon.
,r Z. Cheatham is not more than one degfe
If below the President, and all that is ne
If essary is for the Congressman tOSpeak an
y the thing is done. A DEMOCRAT.
