A Word TO BUSINESS MEN.-The
GOLD LEAF wants to impress it upon
the business men of Henderson that
they are losing good opportunity by
not advertising in this paper. If times
are dull, it is no sign that our readers
are. If you have good bargain to
offer them you should let them know
it. If you offer them a bargain, they
will take you up, hard times or nc hard
times. If you keep silent, they may
rightfully conclude that you do not care
whether you sell them anything or not
at this season. Take the only sensible
and business like course-advertisc and
let the money start OH it's mission of
good. The GOLD LEAF has a good
circulation among appreciative readers,
and there is no reason why an adver-
tisement should not do as much good
at this season as at any other time.

works

REMARKs.-The above quotations refer
to new tobacco. The old crop is about ex-
hausted. Never in the history Of Hender.
son as a tobacco market have the receipts
of new tobacco been SO large in the month
of August. Nor have we ever known
it to cure so white and bright as it has
thus far this season. Last Friday the town
was literally overlooking with tobacco,
people and wagons: Many wagons were
unable to unload and returned home with
their loads. Our houses were crammed
and damned with tobacco. Sales eOm-
menced at twenty minutes to ten o'clock
a. m. and lasted until darkness put an end
10 them ana with our rapid selling and
lively bidding we were onlv able to sell
through one house and about three-fOurths
of another, leaving two houses not touched.
Saturday morning at Q o'clock the sales
were again called. The buying and bid
ding by our corps OF plucky buyers was
never more spirited and lively, and Hen
dersons biggest sale was only concluded
at O'Clock p. m. Saturday. Be it said to
the credit of our plucky warehousemen
that they uniOaded i'm one day as much to-
bacco as they could sell i'm two. Farmers
were here by every road. and from every
section. far and near, with tobacco. Hun
dreds OF new customers were here with to-
bacco for the first time; old customers
were here who had never seen such a
sight of tobacco before, and notwitlI-
standing this immense crowd Of people
they went home delighted with the sales
of their tobacco and loud i'm their praises
of the Henderson market and the clever
treatment they had received from ware
housemen and buyers.

The USELESS SHIRT TAB.-The
Charlotte Chronicle has discovered that
the shirt tab-that little appendage at
the lower part of the bosom-is useless,
and ought to be abolished. We have
often thought the same thing. 1t is
there, but few men ever use it. The
Chronicle says:
Every man who wears a useless shirt
tab, is taking bread out of an orphan s
mouth.
Tobacco and whisky, evils that they
are, bring solace as we'll as misery, but
the unused shirt tab, is woeful waste of
woman's labor, without any iustifying
compensation.
The unused shirt tab is a blot on Chris
tan civilization. 1t is not an ornament,
nor is the righteousness of an unused
shirt tab sufficiently amusing to compen-
safe for an annual outlay for it of nearly
a million and half dollars.
Thirty thousand helpless orphans
could be clothed, fed and educated, every
year, for the money wasted on the I'M
used shirt tab.
"The poor We have always with you"
Abolish the unused shirt tab and pro-
vide for the orphans

HENDERSON MALE ACADEMY
The fall term of Henderson Male Acade-
my, Prof. w. V. Savage. principal,
will open next Monday, September End.
The GOLD LEAF commends this school
to the people Of the town and surround
ing country who have boys to educate
and every person who has son or
ward ought to educate him. An edu-
cation is better thing to give a boy
than riches in ignorance. Every young
man ought to be sent out in the world
with a fair knowledge of English and
mathematics at least, land if he can get
more, so much the better will he be
prepared to fight the battle of life sue
cessfully. 1t is important that parents
should educate their children. Send
your boy to school; stop him from
in idleness and meanness-if he has al
ready started in that direction. The
GOLD LEAF wants to see the boys
going to school. Too much importance
cannot be placed upon this. 1t is a
necessity.
And there is no need of sending them
away when there is a good school right
here OF home. Prof. Savage is a COM
petent instructor and is working to
build up flourishing high school for
boys and young men. He is fine
scholar, a careful, painstaking and ex-
perienced teacher, a Christian gentle
man who teaches by example as well
precept. Send your boys to him, and
be sure to enter them at the beginning
of the term.
A word in season is often productive O
much good. If you meet friend ask hin
if he is a reader of the GOLD LEAF. If ht
is not, speak a good word for the paper
and urge him to subscribe The bigger
the circulation the more good the paper
can do the town and county.

LIGHT ON THE LIGHT QUESTION.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Feeling that it is due to our friends and
the tax payers of Wichita, we wish to
make an explanation in this paper con-
corning the lighting business that has
lately been before the council. Our OBJ
ject in doing this is to retain the good will
and confidence of the citizens of Wichita
to enable Us to enjoy for long time the
strong support we always received from
them, believing that they realize the good
we have done IN reducing the price of
light to the commercial interests, as well
as the interests of the home, We make the
following explanation:
We have been laboring with the city
council for the past two years to straight
en- out the light business. Believing it
their intention TO assist us when the time
came, we made extensive improvements
in our business and gave to the
commercial interests an incandescent
light plant, light much used IN this city
and one we think is very much appreciated.
The propositions we have brought before
the city from time to time have at no time
been exhorbitant. In fact the history Of
our business relations with all has been
that we have endeavoTed at all times to
give the citizens a cheap aud good
light, and at the same Jlme
looking after our own Interests, as a mat
OF course. The proposition we have just
got through the council has been before
them since April %. In June the gas
COMPANY obtained the information that
the proposition would never be passed. Ii
has always been the policy of the gas COM
pany to sacrifice their electric light busi-
ness FOR the good of their gas interest,
therefore it was matter of business with
them TO try and Kill our proposition, and
to do this they offered light for s., al
though they had been repeatedly told that
50 was cheap enough and that the city
would allow them the same privileges as
the Citizens company II they put
IN q similar proposition This
seemed not to suit them and they
Insisted on a passage Of their proposition
this OF course makes it hard for the coun-
Gil to decide what TO do under the circum-
stances, but realizing the position OF the
gas company toward US and our willing
ness at all times to improve, when I'M
provements were required, and more I'M
portant factor that we were wiling TO turn
over TO the city a back claim OF nearly
- go which could have been collected at
the end of a law salt. taxing TINS to
cerber with some other claims would
about make I'D the difference in the price
offered by the gas company in the five
wears to come before the term Of the con-
tract-they therefore considering ali these
points well concluded 70 give Us the con-
ract, as we had asked them 70 Go.
Trusting this explanation viii satisfy
such taxuayers as have not heretofore
thoroughly understood the situation,

intimate friends OF Messrs. Lewis Ward

dence, 210 North Fourth avenue. The
evening was pleasantly spent with games
and other amusements on the lawn. As

ties were continued. At reasonable
hour an elegant lunch. consisting Of all
the delicacles of the season, was served

CITY SCHOOL. MATTERS.

Member of the school board Mr.. Fegt-
" stated yesterday that many seem to
have the opinion that the city schools will
open tomorrow, and wishes it stated and
restated in the interest of the slow TO catch
on that the doors will not fly open until
tomorrow one week, or on the 9th inst.
Nearly all the school buildings are being
renovated and made presentable and
ready for the beginning of the school year.
Some of them demand considerable re
pairs.
DR.. Stevenson stated yesterday that he
was much pleased with Wichita and he
was getting acquainted with the work as
rapidly as circumstances would permit.
When the work commenced he hoped to
be able to spend over half the time visit
ing the schools and looking after the bat
tie field in person. Possibly he would
spend the forenoon visiting schools and
regular Office hours in the afternoon.
The school board as yet has not been
able to make the assignment Of teachers.
Some OF the principals have been selected,
but nothing done ia the line of making
out the corps of teachers. This year that
feature of the work has a difficult feature
about it which has not been present Tor
some time. The superintendent not being
acquainted with the teachers IS wholly at
sea, and will be compelled 70 rely on the
board and assistants for the first assign
ment. and as he becomes acquainted with
the corps of teachers he might be able TO
make changes provided any were found
necessary. 1t is thought the board al It's
meeting tomorrow evening may consider
the question. or should the bond question
consume the time. special meeting viii
likely be held over the matter before the
day for work to commence.
In the meantime the committee on
buildings and grounds have been at Work
renting buildings, trying to get
suitable ones. very much like they had
year ago. With this comes up the talk
about the new buildings and some OF the
members wanted TO SO ahead with the
work on the two eighr-room buildings. one
IN the Eighth ward and the other N the
Third ward and let this suffice until the
other localities get settled down, and there
is less side forces brought TO influence an
effort to 90 direct TO the right.
The teachers who have been away on
vacations are commencing 10 return
Among the recent arrivals are MISS Lizzie
