Capt. d. E. Young, the venerable father
of the late Col. l. J. Young, and of our
townsman Mr.. X. E. Young, is nearing
his end. He has been confined to his bed
some time too feeble to help himself and
it is apparent to his friends that he is
gradually wearing away. A general
giving away, the result of old age, is his
ailment. Capt. Young has many warm
friends throughout this section who watch
with tender sympathy the slow but sure
going down OF the sun of his life.
The editor of the GOLD LEAF will be
away next week attending the Press con-
vention at Lenoir. After the sittings of
the convention he will spend short time
in the mountains breathing the pure
oxygen of that latitude and living high
generally. He needs rest and recreation
and season of relaxation, leaving off
of business cares and labOrs for awhile,
will be of great benefit to him. The GOLD
LEAF will be left in good hands and our
readers will no doubt be given better
paper than usual as long as the editor
stays away.
