IL was getting terribly dry and dusty. To-
bacco plants needed setting out and farm
efs We're anxious for season. II cam.
IN good time and they have made the most
of the opportunity
Hoffah Tor the enterprising, public spir-
lied men who are doing so much for the
advancement of Henderson's growth and
material prosperity. While others may
sneer and speak disparagingly of the eff
forts OF more progressive citizens, the
GOLD LEAF. upholds and applauds. On
with the good work and let others follow.
We have heard a number of persons
speak in terms of praise Of the tribute paid
to the worth and character of the late
Richard J. Workman in the article that
appeared in the GOLD LEAF last week.
The author, Mr.. W. Il. Henry, has written
many beautiful and touching things of the
KIND, but in no instance, perhaps has his
eulogiums been more worthily bestowed.
Mr.. George NJ Newell who has been
making Baltimore his home for several
months returned here with his family last
week. There is no place like Henderson
to those who have once lived here Mr.
Newell will probably return to the Monu-
mental City in the fall for the purpose of
! pushing some new mechanical inventions
on which he has received letters patent.
| The mineral springs adjacent to Iiender-
son add much to its claims as Il resort
for seekers after health. Analyses prove
that these waters possess rare health-giv-
ing properties, and they are much sought
after by invalids and others Oh this
account. They have proven beneficial in
many Cases and instances are cited where
some remarkable cures have been traced
to the use of the waters from WOrtllam's
Marston's and other springs.
! Attention is called to the filthy condition
of some of the back lots and hog pens
about town. This matter should be looked
after at once. The health of our people
depends upon cleanliness, and it will be
too late to remove the cause after disease
has been engeniered. DR.. Arch Cheat
ham, Health officer, is taking the proper
steps to see that the sanitary rules and reg
ulations are enforced. Don't wait to have
notice served on you to clean up
When person cannot say anything t.

fraternal feeling and brotherly love among
protesting followers of the meek ana
lowly Jesus especially when he presume:
to speak on such 9ubjrctr, it were b"ttfl

S,inc times is No reason why we s!l1il,
hold others accountable. 1t frequently
happens that those of their own faith an;

of one of their fellows.

: This is curious world and there ar
t some curious people in it. And no one ha
