Did Right.

+ We are glad to see that the editor of
this paper was not the only one who
spurned the insulting offer of the Ala
bama Nursery Company, by returning
the dollar that they wanted to pay for
an inch advertisement two months
with. The editor of the State Chronicle
did the same thing. In the last issue
of that paper we find this:
To the Henderson GOLD LEAF: We
sent that dollar back. too, without cere.
mony. This way of advertisers Offering
North Carolina editors next to nothing
ought to be stopped, and the editors car
put stop to it if they will.
That was right; but we knew Joe
Daniels to be just that kind of a man

JANUARY 2, 1890.
christmas In Henderson.

Christmas was observed in the usu-
al manner in Henderson. Merchants
had a good trade and everybody ap-
,peared cheerful and happy. The little
folks were in their element, and the
grown people, "children of a larger
growth seemed to imbibe the spirit
of the occasion no less. Most of the
places Of business were closed Wednes-
day. There was very little drinking
and good order was observed. We
doubt if any town its size can show a
better record for Christmas day.
Special religious services were held
in the Methodist Episcopal church.
The pastor Rev. Frank A. Bishop
preached an appropriate sermon from
the text: Luke, End chapter and 10th
verse, 81 For, behold, I bring you good
tidinss Of great joy, which shall be to
all people," A collection was taken
up for the benefit of the Oxford Or
phan Asylum.
In the afternoon there was at the
Church of the Holy InnOcents a service
| of song for the benefit of the Sunday
school scholars. A number of carols
/ We're beautifully rendered by the boys
| and girls. led by the choir, special
practice having been made therefor.
Miss Bette Blacknall presided at the
| organ and under the magic touch OF
her skillful fingers that splendid instru-
ment never responded in more exquis-
tie tones than it did on this hallowed
Christmas afternoon. The rector Rev.
Julian E. Ingle preached short but
appropriate sermon to the children,
and at the conclusion of the services
they retired to the parish school house
where a Christmas tree laden with
presents, useful and ornamental in
character, had been prepared for the edi.
fication and enjoyment of the members
of the Sunday-school. This was done
through the kind heartedness and gen
crosby of Mr.. Thos. A. Davis, he hav
ing donated the purse for that object
Thursday night the Methodist Epis
copal Sunday-school had party, ant
Friday night the Methodist Protestant
had Christmas tree and special ser
vice consisting of singing and recita
tions and an address by the paste

An Artistic Piece Of Work.

some watch guard made of human hair.
1t is the work of the Professor himself

It shows the skill of the maker and re-

fidence and patronage given him.

Local Papers.

The public have little appreciation
of the value of well-conducted local
newspapers. Their offices of benefi-
cence to the community are SO COM
mon that they are unnoted, but none
the less no town or city can advance
without its news papers are in the fore
front of advancement. They are the
life of the community. They must
lead in every effort to invite capital,
enlarge in dustries and enthuse the peO-
Die in the use of their advantages.
The local newspaper is the one news
paper that should command the pat
ronage of the community. If only one
journal can be taken in a family. it
should be the one published at home.
There is now little excuse for any per
son of ordinary intelligence not taking
city daily with the local newspapers:
since the best can be had for a nOmi-
nal cost; but there should ever be the
heartiest accord and sympathy be-
tween the local newspapers and the
cemmunity.-Danrille Register.

treats Henderson has yet had the ben

disagreeable and many persons no

artists of rare skill and merit in their
respective roles and the entertainment
was of the highest order of excellence
The violin playing of NJ. Divide Musin

The beautiful and eloquent tribute
paid to Jefferson Davis by Mr.. w. T..
Henry, as published in the last issue OF
the GOLD LEAF, has been very highly
complimented. A distinguished North
Carolinian writes that the perofation Is
one of the finest bursts of eloquence he
has read. and says the ideas embodied
in the relieros are bold and dramatic,
| and adds that the eulogium ought to be
printed in nice form for more extensive
reading and for preservation. A talented
and learned Virginian also speaks OF
it in terms of high praise saying it is
one of the finest of the many SPLENDID
and eloquent eulogiums on Jefferson
Davis that he has read.

A Sad Christmas 20 Them.

This was sad Christmas to Mr.. and
Mrs. Enoch Powell. They lost their
infant son, remarkably fine child,
aged about nine months, on Christmas
eve, and laid the precious form of their
little darling away in the cold damp
earth on Christmas day. While other
hearts were cheerful and happy on this
blessed day that we celebrate in COM
memoration of the birth of a little child
away back yonder in Bethlehem OF Ju-
dea eighteen hundred and eighty-nine
years ago, theirs were burdened with
sadness aud sorrow at the death Of
their little one. A Christmas birth
and Christmas death! Two things
that should draw the parent hearts
nearer to Him who said @'sutfer little
children to come unto me and forblt
them rot.''
