Banquet to Consul. General Waller,

Ex-Governor Thomas NJ. Waller, the retiring
consul-general of the United States at London,
was rendered testimonial banquet at the
Hotel Metropole last evening. There were 200
persons present A toast to the health of Pres
ident Harrison was received with enthusiasm,
and was responded to by Mr.. Henry White, the
American charge d'affaires. Col. F. d. Grant,
the new American minister to Austria was en-

Then and Now,

When Washington was President,
As cold as any icicle,
He never on a railroad went.
And never rode q bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp,
Nor heard about the Yellowstone;
he never licked a postage STAN,
And never saw telephone
His trousers ended at the knees:
by wire ne could not send dispatch:
he nlled his lamp with whale-oil grease,
And never had q match 70 scratch.
But in these days it's come 10 pass,
81 work IL with such dashing dome
We've all those things; but then, alas
We seem 10 have no Washington.

Gone with Church Funds.

Mr.. Samuel Fessenden, treasurer of the Cape
Cod canal company, left Sandwich, Mass, about
two weeks ago, since which time nothing is
known concerning his whereabouts. He was
also treasurer of the Unitarian church, and at
the time he went away had in his possession
the funds belonging to the Episcopal church.
The money Of the Cape Cod canal company is
all gone, and Fessenden has left behind him a
large number of unpaid bills and notes which
are not provided for.

A SOLID TRUTH-ThOs. p MOntfOrt, ed
itor of the Excelsior Springs (MO.) Banner
and one of the brightest humorous writers
in the West, speaks solid truth when he
says this in his paper:
Don't defer taking step in advance of
your surroundings and associates, for fear
of being laughed at. No one ever amounted
to ANYTHING vet who hesitated to go onward
because of what others might say. Make
up your mind to do as you please, so long
as You do not abridge the rights of others
and the sooner you determine to depend on
your own efforts to rise the better it will
be for you. But after you are successful,
everybody will stretch out helping hand.

stroke of enterprise both Editor Daniels

admires such pluck and public spirit and
applauds it wherever found. They are a
gO-ahead people at Oxford and are eminent

and Il seeking after greater and grandel
things be fruitful of much good to them

NEW PRESS AND IMPROVED APPEARANCE.
The Henderson GOLD LEAF has Just
got a new cylinder printing press. of

and is Justly proud of it. Already the
GOLD LEAF has an improved appearance,
and when the impression comes to be
properly adjusted the work will show to
fuller advantage. We congratulate the

hoped-for contamination, and the people
of Henderson on increased facilities for

PROF. BURK's EDUCATED HoRsEs.-The

worth the price of admission and those who
love beautiful horses and appreciate highly
developed intelligence in animals missed
! a treat in not seeing them. Nothing like
the degree of knowledge and the readiness
and accuracy with which the horses did

good also, as was the work Of the veteran

new auspices. A club consisting of quite a
number Of gentlemen has been formed and
this once popular place of resort and past
time will be conducted for the benefit of
the members and visiting friends. Under
the new organization members may with
draw at the end of the month if they do
not care to remain in longer or they may
continue by the payment of small month
ly due. Jim POythress will be in charge
and will be as attentive to his duties as
possible. The hall will be furnished with
pool and billiard tables, CHESS, backgam-
mon besides being supplied with magazines
and other choice literature. The idea is to
afford place Of innocent amusement for
those who wish to make it a place of resort.
No betting or drinking allowed. The doors

until late hour at night. Persons who
may wish to become members will consult

KIND WORDS FROM AN OLD FRIEND
we used to set type and pull all old hand
press in the Roanoke Neaos Office at Weldon
in our boyhood days, writes to congratu-
late the GOLD LEAF upon the requirement
of a new cylinder press. Mr.. Kerr is now
foreman and business manager of the
Asheville daily Citizen composing rooms
and is also one of the stockholders of the
concern. After leaving Weldon he went
to Harrisonburg, Va, and located, becom-
ing one of the editors and proprietors of the
Register OF that place, the leading paper in
the Valley. A few years ago he married
an excellent lady of that town and latterly
returned to his native heath in the noun
tains of his beloved Carolina and engaged
in the newspaper and job printing business.
The GOLD LEAF is pleased to hear of his
we'll doing and Graves the pardon of John
Philetus'' for making the following ex-
! tract from his letter:

SELDOM ESCAPES THE SCISSORS There
is seldom copy of the Henderson GOLD
LEAF that escapes our scissors. 1t is a
paper we very much admire-Green0slle
Reflector.
This is gratifying. Whenever an extract
is made from the paper and proper credit
given Gas the Reflector always does) Hen
derson thereby gains greater publicity
Every time the name of town is published
abroad its fame is extended just that much.
This is one of the many ways a newspaper
benefits the town i'm which it is published
Its service is not ended when its columns
contain something worthy of note or repro
duction. After its force is spent then other
papers take up the item, the name of the
publication and the town and carry them
on we know not where. AS a pebble drop
ped in the quiet bosom of a lake makes a
circle on the water that increases in size
as it nears the shore, so the influence of the
newspaper becomes broader and broader
and,is so far reaching in it's effect that il
goes beyond reach or knowledge breaking
upon the shores of distant parts where per
haps it was never before heard Of
