departure from the conventional rules
which govern the conduct of decent

in persons who, by persistently and
methodically ignoring the obligations
OF courtesy and delicacy, have obtained
a reputation for eccentriclty. We have
no good word for nuisances OF this

contempt for those who defer TO aud

Tho Educational Value Of Outdoor
Games and Sports.
Organized play produces a most use-
full effect 1t trains the boy to do cor
rectly Just what he is told to do, and,
whilo his spontaneous action is en-
couraged. he is kept ever ready TO act
according To circumstances. Play Is
healthful; so is the alienation OF
mental work and active play. In
mental action the brain centers proba-
bly, net much in stimulating one an
other; in play the muscles are stimu-
lated by the brain centers, and tho
purely mental action is diminished.
Thus play is not merely muscular ex-
ercise but change In tho kind OF
brain action. and probably Of the 90

HERE is another sad case Of wo-
mans too confiding nature and mans
per6dy. Miss Sallie Moore, a young
lady about Fl years Of age, committed
suicide in Person county, about FIVE
miles from Roxboro, at the home of
a friend whittier she had gone on a
visit, week before last. 1t is the same
old story: She had a love affair and
too far she trusted the man whose soft
words and false VOWS and heartless
promises she believed. After her ruin
was accomplished she was cast off and
to hide her shame and disgrace from
her family and friends the poor girl
sought concealment in the cloak of
death. Going to the barn she fastened
a rope to one of the cross timbers and
adjusting the end about her neck she
hung herself. The base and heartless
villain who is responsible for her death
ought to be made to share the same
fate-and worse. Hanging is too good
for such wretch.

"One was whether the debt settlement

issue he was with the Democrats in

THE "GOLD LEAF" WILL NOT
CHANGE HANDS.

AS our readers know for the past
two months the GOLD LEAF has been
advertised for sale. We wanted to
sell because we desired to engage IN
other business in a distant State. This
step was deemed advisable because we
believed we could better our condi-
ton financially, and in justice to those
dependent upon us, if not in defer
ence to our own wishes, we felt that it
was our duty do SO. But up to the
present writing we have not found a
purchaser. Of the dozen and half
applications we have had unfortunately
for all parties concerned not one
of the would-be purchasers had the
money to buy with.
We could not afford to. sell on time
The accumulations of years of hard
work and close economy are invested
in our business, and necessity would
not permit it even if we had been dis
posed to do SO. And in the next
place the proposition we had made 10
us in Alabama will not hold open
longer than the first of October. This
then settles the matter so far as our
leaving Henderson is concerned, and
while we had by no means tired OF
the place or people, we shall settle
down more contentedly to the duties
before us and strive to make the most
of the opportunity that presents itself
1t was purely upon business grounds
that we proposed to go, and now it is
upon the same that we will stay.
No one realizes more fully than
does the editor that the GOLD LEAF is
not the newspaper it ought to be-in-
deed, it is not such as a town like
Henderson should have-but we have
done the best we could under the cir
Cumstances. Handicapped as we have
been, we have not been able to print
a bigger or better paper, but the
chances are now more in our favor.
With our improved press and plenty
of good new material, an enlargement
in size, and we trust an increase in
business also, is admitted of. 1t is
Our intention to make the paper
larger, increasing it to 81 columns,
beginning with the new volume.
In addition to this we expect soon
to add a complete job printing de-
partment to our business and will be
prepared to do first class work in that
line also. The two naturally go to-
gether and with our present splendid
assortment of types and the advan-
tages of our fine cylinder press in our
favor, we will have such facilities for
doing a general printing and publish
ing business as will not only supply
every demand, but be credit to the
business interests OF the growing town
of Henderson as we'll.
