Y. M. T.. A. Notes.

The reception at the Young Mems
Christian Association last Tuesday
night was intended to be public affair
to which all were invited and was so
announced in the papers, publicly on
Sunday, and by public bulletin. To
more thoroughly advertise the affair,
however, the Secretary sent out 100
announcement cards, mostly to young
men who are not members, though
few members got them, also. a few
who saw the cards that did not receive
them took them to be invitations and SO
staid away and missed very pleasant
affair. The officers regret that any
such misunderstanding should occur.
No slight was intended to any one. In
fact, the cards themselves plainly
stated 'all invited.'
Rev. T. J. Ogburn will give Gospel
address at the rooms of the Young
Mems Christian Association next Sun
day at $3.50. It is expected that some
special music will be prepared for the
occasion, These meetings hrve been
very well attended for the last few
weeks. All men invited.

Letter from RingwOOd.

Especial Correspondence Of the Gold Leaf. |
RINGwooD, n. c., Aug. 3, 81.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-It was my
pleasure to be present at Sunday
school picnic given by the patrons and
friends Of the Sunday-school at Bat F.
Arrington's school house, near here,
last Friday. It was an enjoyable af-
fair. The managers did all they could
to make it a success, and we'll did they
succeed. The children and young
folks enjoyed themselves playing GRO
quet, and other games and singing, and
the old in conversation and reminis-
cences of the past. At p. M, DR..
Geo. E. Matthews was invited to de-
liver an address to the school, and for
about 40 minutes he held his audience
spell bound by a forcible and appro-
pirate address which was much ap-
plauded. At the conclusion of his
speech, he was presented with two
beautiful bouquets-one by Miss Mary
Arlington, pink Of loneliness, and
the other by Mrs. J. F. Moore, than
whom no better woman can be found.
The Doctors allusion to woman and
her work was the most touching and elo-
quent to which we have ever listened.
After the speech dinner was announced,
and such dinner. barbecue, beef,
chicken and lake fish, cake, garden
vegetables-in fact, everything the
most fastidious could desire. It was,
according to my notion, the most en-
iny-o h1o nooaSiny, hold ~, &hic
munity. Not only your correspondent.
but those who were there will testify
to it. Late in the evening the large
crowd dispersed, hoping to have many
such in the future.
DR.. Matthews and two sons left yes
terday for few days visit to Wrights-
vile and other places on the seashore.
He feels that he needs rest from his
arduous labors.
The picnic at Medoc on Thursday
was most enjoyable one, learn.
Walter Herbert, the excellent editor
of the kinston Free Press, with his
mother and little brother, is visiting
his uncle John Weller, near here.
Walter is bright young man and is
welding a great influence for good
through his paper.
Miss Fannie, the accomplished
daughter of JOS NJ Weller. of Little
ton, died of malarial fever last Friday.
and was brought to Ringwood and
buried in the Episcopal cemetery be-
side her mother. 4 pure and lovely
Christian lady has passed from this
life to the life beyond where she will
live forever.
The rains continue to come and the
farmers are filled with dismay and the
fields with grass. Tobacco and pea
nuts are the best crops we have.
Corn and cotton are sorry. l fear we
will not get half crop Of the latter.

She's boil on her neck as big as a bell,
But in other respects she is doing quite

And pa has dyspepsia and govt,
His hands with salt-rheum are all broken

He is prone to rheumaties that make his
legs swell,
But in other respects he is doing quite we'll
And ma has night-sweats and trouble
some cough,
That all of our doctors can't seem to drive
off;
She wakes every night and coughs quite a
But in other respects she is doing quite

There is nothing like philosophy to help
one bear the ills Of life, butin the case OF
this family what is most needed rs good
supply of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It would cleanse Amelia S
bad blood, cure pas ailments. and check
mas cough. The Golden Medical Dis

FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED.
r. A. NOEL Makes an Assignment
for the Benefit OF His
Creditors.

1t is anything but pleasant to chron-
icle the fact that Mr.. Z. A. NOEL, ieaf
tobacco dealer of this place, has been
forced to make an assignment for the
benefit of his creditors. We understand
the liabilities are about $4,000, and
that the assets are about $4,000 or
s15, 900. The assignment deed is a
very lengthy and elaborate paper,
naming the following preferences
among others: J. S. Carr, Durham,
about $4,000; Bank of Henderson,
81, 800; Citizens Bank, $4,000; W. II.
Rowland, Durham, 81, 300; E. J. Par
rish, Durham, $500; DR.. w. T. Cheat
ham, $500; Old Dominion Building
and Loan Association, $500; Harris,
Gooch & Co., 81 900, less credits; j. S.
Poythress, $4,000; J. & T. Baecom,
1898; D. Y. Cooper, $1,000, less cred
its. Some of the above creditors hold
securities. The remainder of the cred
itors are to be paid out of any fund
remaining, pro rata.
We understand that Mr.. NOEL says
he will yet pay every cent he owes;
j that when he came here two or three
years ago, he had but few dollars in
his pocket and owed a debt of $1,000
in Durham, and he has paid every
dollar Of it. In this connection we
may state that one of his largest cred
itors was heard to say that he was sat-
isfied Mr.. NOEL would pay every cent
he owes and that as far as he was con-
| cerned he was not troubled about it.
Mr.. NOEL has made an assignment
| Of everything he has in the world,
| even to his watch and gun, for the ben
eft Of his creditors, reserving only his
homestead and personal property ex-
emption for his wife and child.
Mr.. Noell's trouble is attributed to
inability to dispose of large quantities
of tobacco on hand, and losses sustained
during his serious and protracted sick
ness few months ago. We regret to
| learn that Mr.. NOEL has been and is
still quite sick. He had not fully re-
covered from the severe attack of fever
he had and this financial blow has
added to it.
| The GOLD LEAF has faith in Tom No
ell's honesty and integrity and believes
he will come out of his present fnan-
cial troubles unscathed. He has pluck
and perseverance, capacity and intel
| ligence and time will set him right and
his creditors be none the worse off for
the financial breakers that have tenn
porarily engulfed his business.
| Mr.. T. M. Pittman is assignee and
Mr.. w. r. Henry attorney for Mr..
| NOEL.

County Commissioners Elected.


The Magistrates of the county met
Monday to take action upon the resig-
nation of Messrs. E. G.. Brodie, r. w.
kearney, Walter Bullock and Paul
jenkins, as members Of the Board OF
County commissioners, and to elect
their successors. The designations
were accepted and Messrs. Junius H.
Dunn, John A. Fleming, John w. Pu-
refoy and Samuel E. Rogers were
elected in their stead. -Four excellent
men and their selection we believe will
meet with general approval aud the
wisdom of the Magistrates in choosing
them will be shown by the manner in
which the affairs of the county will be
administered.
Mr.. Dunn is from Henderson town
ship. He has served as a Commits
sioner before. He is we'll posted on
county and financial affairs, is a care
full, painstaking, conservative man in
the discharge of his public duties and
will be safe leader.
Mr.. Fleming is from Middlebure
township. And there is no better
man in the county. He is thoughtful
and intelligent, substantial and sound,
and will make a number one Commits
sioner.
Mr.. Puretoy is from this town. He
is man of fine business sense and
discriminating Judgment, and the sue
cess and ability with which he conducts
his individual affairs marks him as a
man eminently qualified to perform the
duties Of conservator Of the peoples in-
terest.
Mr.. Rogers is from hittrell township.
He is also we'll qualified for the posi-
ton to which he has been elected. A
young man of good judgment and intel
igence, an excellent citizen and success
full farmer he will guard well the trust
which has been conlided to him.
The other member is Mr.. Thomas
Taylor, of Townsville township. He
is one of the best and most highly
esteemed lens of the county. and as
a member OF the old Board has made a
faithful and efficient Commissioner.
Altogether we are well pleased wi tn
the personnel of the new Board of Com
miss toner's. In their hands we believe
the affairs of the county will be judi
cially administered. with prudence,
economy and fairness.
And to the retiring members. Messrs.
Brodie, kearney, Bullock and jenkins.
the people of the county owe debt OF
gratitude and thanks. Well and faith
fully have they served the public and tc
their careful. thoughtful and safe guild
ance is due the excellent condition of the
county's finances. And to them. indi.
vidually and collectively. the COLL
LEAF makes this public acknowledg-
ment of their services and the credit due
them.

Among The Veterans.

The ex-Confederate veterans-princi-
pally the State pensioners-had a grand
time of it during their encampment at
Wrightsville last week. The railroads
gave them free transportation and the
citizens OF Wilmington did the proper
and clever thing by the old soldiers after
they went into camp. Vance county's
representatives were W. R. Green and
w. B. Huntley. They left Tuesday and
got back Saturday. There were between
400 and 500 old soldiers in camp and
from all accounts they had a royal time.
The people of Wilmington were exceed
ingly kind and generous in their treat
ment and did erything in their power
for the pleasure and enjoyment OF their
guests-for such the old "vets'' were
Mr.. Green came to see us as soon as he
got home to tell us about his trip. He
says "the boys" had great time and
his only regret is that he could not stay
down there all the time-or a little longer
than he did. The people, he says, and
especially the ladies, We'd with each other
in their kind treatment of the old soldiers
They furnished an abundance of every
thing to eat and Friday the biggest pic
mic dinner he ever saw was spread for
their enjoyment. Friend Green says he
has always thought there were no people
like North Carolinians and now he is
prepared to believe there are no North
Carolinians like Wilmington people. He
was completely carried away and has
not ceased to talk about his trip and
sound the praises of those who manifest
ed SO much interest in the eX- Confederates
He also mentions the kindness of Mr..
John W. Edwards, of Goldsboro, who
set out a key of beer for them as they
passed through, going and coming ; and
Mr.. J. NJ. Denning, OF the Goldsboro
police force who donated a cart load OF
watermelons for the enjoyment of the
old soldiers as they were on their re-
turn homo.
