The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1889-06-27

beneficial to growing crops: and it is a
matter OF qualification to be able to state
that the latter are doing we'll and are in
every way promising. Tobacco, corn,
cotton, peas, potatoes, will yield well if
nothing happens from now ON.
All will admit that the churches of the
country have done and are doing great
work iu behalf of the sufferers at Johns
town. The stream of charity that has
flowed like river has not been bounded
by creed, but has touched every spot
marked by sorrow and suffering
Our devil is trying to solve a knotty
problem. He says he can account for
the fact that pair of his garments
should draw up to half their usual length,
but he cannot understand how they
come to have frills around the bottom.
His washcrwOman is called upon to ex-
plain.
The Indications are that there will be a
good crowd to go down on the excursion
to Norfolk next Wednesday. There will
be ample room for all. Messrs. Chavasse,
Ward 4 Macy do nothing of the kind i'll
half way style. Good order will be pre-
served and pleasant time is promised
all. Fare for the round trip $500.
Every well in town should be made
thoroughly clean, and the premises kept
in such condition as there will be no dan
ger of polluting and poisoning the water.
Pure water is very potent factor in the
preservation of the health of the cOmmu-
nifty. Much of the sickness we have may
be traced directly to the water we drink.
This year will be one of the most pros
porous in the growth of Henderson. On
every hand improvements are going on,
and many of these improvements will be
worth thousands of dollars to the town.
In point of manufacturing enterprises at
no time has there been greater interest
and activity than at present. And Others
are to follow.
Mr.. X. E. Young is home again from
Washington City where he has been look
ing after the matter OF district collector
ship. The President appears to be taking
his time about making an appointment,
and in the mean time Messrs. Young,
White and Hawkins, the three most
prominent aspirants for the place, are
kept in ii state OF almost breathless sus-
pense.
, Our people should not grow luke-warm
and careless. Keep the town OH boom
that has b3en commenced. Work to-
gether for good to yourself and the com
munity DO your part in furthering every
enterprise calculated to benefit the town
at large whether you are materially Ell
riched by it or not. Let us look beyond
self now and then. We will lose nothing
by so doing.
Schools are now having their summer
vacation. The festive small boy, with his
+ naked. tender feet, will be conspicuous
, object The cracked cane pole will have
: its resurrectiOn-the fond father beseige(
for pennies for fish hOOks-the indulgen
mamma for lunch and the irrepressibl
physician for lacerated hands and ston
bruises Truly the season of the small
: boy is at hand.
