| There was fall Of about four inches of
snow Thursday night. Again Friday more
fell and altogether it was six inches deep
on level. Saturday was cold and dis
agreeable and the thermometer began to
fall rapidly toward night. Sunday was
the coolest day we have had this winter the
mercury registering 100 above zero. Not
having experienced anything like such Sc
| we're weather so far made it more sensibly
felt and we have heard many people ex-
press themselves as almost suffering even
in doors with good fire. This being true
| of them, what must have been the bitter ex-
perience of those poor creatures not SO for
tunate as to be as we'll provided for?

ever get. He edits one of the sweetest and
purcSt papers in the State and he is always
blowing for Henderson. 1t is not spas
mOdc business with him. 1t is every week
We hope he will live to see Henderson a
large city.-Saa?tord Eapress.
Thank you, Brother st. Clair, it is graft
flying to know that ones efforts are appreci-
ated by his brother publishers-a class who
are better qualified to Judge of such things
than any one else-for they know the good
that the newspapers can and are accom-
plishing. The GOLD LEAF has tried to
serve its town and section-how we'll 9th
ers must say. 1t has struck many hard
licks for Henderson (even when it was not
popular to do SOY but it always strikes
square from the shoulder and hits above
the belt. Yes we work for Henderson
and Vance county; not that we love other
sections less but our own more. We Join
you in the hope that we may live long
enough to see Henderson great city and
we are doing what we can to make it SUCH
Not that we would be contented to hear Ga
briel blow his horn then, but that we may
see the town enjoying the business and
prosperity that it is SO admirably fitted
for.
