Will Come Back to Henderson.

last week we announced that Mr..
Augustus Bradley, who for some time
past has been with w. I. Cheatham,
druggist. in this place, had gone TO
Tarboro, his Old home, for the purpose
of engaging in business. Since leaving
here he has had more flat.ering offer
made him. and a letter received from
Mr.. Bradley conveys to Us the pleasing
intelligence that he will'return to Hen
derson about the 18th and take posi-
ton with Mr.. Melville Dorsey. We
shall welcome friend Bradley back with
as much sincerely as We deplored his
departure, and congratulate both gen.
tlemen upon such happy business as
social ton. There is no better or more
agreeable man to work for or do bust
ness with than Mr.. Dorsey, while a
more competent, accurate and expert
enced young pharmacist than Mr..
Bradley would be difficult to find. Car
rying a very large stock and doing an
extensive business as he does, with
such a capable and efficient clerical
force as he will have, doctor" Dor
sey's trade bids fair to assume such
proportions as it has not heretofore at
tanned.

More Than a Babywaker.

Some young men bent upon having
a little fun Friday night exploded a
babywaker' on the vacant lot nearly
opposite the O'Neil building. 1t was
made Of powder, the package being
wrapped in an old sack tightly bound
with cotton rope. Then it was put in
an empty tar barrel and dirt packed
around it. a fuse was attached and
the thing was touched off. Such an ex-
plosion has not been known in these
parts before, the report being heard
miles in the country. 1t Jared houses,
ratified windows and played the mis-
chief with small panes and plate glass
fronts in the vicinity. The damage
done was considerable, this part of the
program being little calculated upon
by those who had hand in the frolic.
There was no intention to do injury
to anything or anybody. and we under
stand the young men will make good
the loss by restoring to its former con-
dition all property damaged. This is
the proper and manly thing to do. The
GOLD LEAF does not believe one OF
them would have put match to the
fuse if he had known it would have re-
suited in any damage however slight.
1t was thoughtless act but was done
purely in a spirit Of fun and with no
malicious intent. 1t is needless to say
this experience is enough for the boys
and they will not repeat it-at least
not near any buildings with glass in
them

Deafness Can't Be Cured

By local applications, for they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you
have rum5ling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition hearing will be de-
strOyed for ever. Nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that can not be cured by taking Halls Ca
tarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Look Out for an Invitation.

Keep your eye on the newspaper and
see which Of the merchants want your
custom and are sufficiently courteous
to invite you to call. There is much
more in advertising than you may
think. 1t is not only to tell of his
goods that man advertises, but it is
to invite the people who read-the
thinking, the intelligent-to pay him
a visit, and judge for themselves as to
quality and price of what he offers for
sale. People read the advertisements.
Don't make any mistake about that.
They are just as much interested in
knowing where to buy to an advantage
as the merchant is in selling his goods.

The Bread Prize.

The GOLD LEAF announced last week
that prize of $500 would be given for
the best loaf OF bread made with Sugar
Coated Yeast. There were a number OF
contestants and some very fine samples
were presented. While an were of excel
lent quality the contest narrowed down
to two, the judges finding it difficult to
decide between the products OF Mrs. S: S.
Written and Mrs. Claude Hunter. The
decision was made in favor of the first
named lady, her bread having a little
more sugar in it and being more grateful
to the taste. The awarding committee
were Mrs. Henry Hart, Mrs. 7. l.. Jones
and Mrs T. J., Horner.
Sugar Coated Yeast is now for sale by

Some unknown person exploded a

night. and broke large number of
window glasses. The damage is put
at about $l,000.-Oxtord Day, 9Th.
Our contemporary has been imposed
upon by its informant. No dynamite
bomb has been exploded in Henderson.
We have no anarchists or midnight
assassins. Some young men touched
off a = baby waker' Friday night, but
with no malice aforethought," and it
did damage in the way of breaking
out number Of window panes, and
cracking plate glass fronts, but nothing
like to the extent of $1,000. They
were as much surprised as any one
that their little frolic of fun should
have resulted in anything more than a
loud noise and the awakening Of people
in the immediate vicinity. But they
will know better next time.

season, but he does claim to have as
choice and as elegant stock of goods
in his line as anybody. and can and

M. P. Conference.

The General Conference of the Meth
odist Protestant church met at Randle-
man last week. The attendance was
large and the session was an enjoyable
and edifying one.
It will be matter of genuine salts
faction to the friends of Rev. T. j. o.
burn, outside of his church as well as in
it. to know that he was returned to this
charge. For three years he has served
his congregation with fidelity, ability
and great acceptance, and his return is
gratifying alike to us all. There is no
more earnest, faithful and conscientious
laborer in the Masters cause than Rev.
T. J. Ogburn. and the impress of his
work In our midst has been stamped
indelibly upon the community.
Henderson is peculiarly blessed in
the personnel and ability of her minis
try. Their temperament, manner and
methods. cordiality and brotherly love
and Christian fellowship, are subjects
of favorable comment. There is perfect
harmony, broad spirit of charity and
a working ,',rether among the several
religious denominations such as is sell
dom witnessed in any community. And
for this we give the praise to our excel
lent pastors. OF course this is as it
should be, but it is not always so in
some places, hence we remark upon it
here. All honor then to such good and
Cody men as the Revs. Julian E. In
gle. Robert Van Deventer, T. J. Og-
burn, W. L. Cuninggim and w. D.
Morton-all men of loyable character,
excellent preaching ability and personal
popularity. May they long be spared
to teach the people by precept and ex-
ample and to build up and forward the
great work of Gods kingdom in our
midst
