Editor HAYDN, the brilliant wit of
the Charlotte Chronicle, who made
such a profound impression upon a
portion of the fair sex of our town last
week, says this:
The Gold Leaf Belt makes the ladies
of Henderson very attractive.
The GOLD LEAF appreciates the
compliment paid our town in the cleo
ton of Mr.. James r. Young president
of the State Young Mems Christian
Association, at its meeting in Colds
boro last week. The convention will
meet next year in Durham.
Mrs. James \. Kelley held the luck y
number that drew the six-stOne dia-
mond ring at Dorsey's drug store
The ring was given as prize by Prof.
Bell, not so much as an inducement tc
buy his preparation for the scalp, but
as an evidence of his appreciation o
the liberal patronage accorded him
Original matter is greatly CurtaileC
this week, but we are quite sure the
excellent articles which We give in
stead will prove more interesting
reading 1t will be gratifying to on
people we know to see the kind ano
complimentary things said of the tow
through the columns of their paper
by Capt. Ashe, Mr.. Daniels and Mr.
Haydn.
4 Owing to the unusual demand 70
extra copies of the GOLD LEAF las
s. week, a fact not anticipated until tn
outside pages of the paper were printed
We had to print several hundred hal
sheets, containing only the inside O
8 local and editorial matter. This ex
plains why some Of our readers re
ceived only half of the paper.
Mr. w r. Henry who is perhar
the equal, physically, of any of tn

now and the young gentleman
81 growing and Growing as if he had bee
here all the time. Our congratulatior
s to Mr.. and Mrs. Henry.
At an early hour Tuesday night tt
old Baptist church, wooden structul
in the rear of the new one, was di
"a covered to be on fire. An alarm w,
given and the flames were soon extir
q guished, the damage not amounting
over $50 probably. At first it W:
g supposed that lightning struck th
building and set it on fire as sever
thunder storm was raging at the tim,
but examination next day did NJ
bear this opinion out. No fire ha
"a been in the stove since Sunday and
is not known how the burning orr!
mated.
