of this place. Mrs. Green will lecture
at $50 p. M, using black board to
illustrate her talk, and Miss Clothier
will speak at 7:45 p. m. We take the
following from The Issue, published at
Greensboro:
Miss Clothier enters North Carolina
on the 10th in company with Mrs.
Green. the Chalk Talker. There is no
Old North State again. We know
they will have that, but we print be-
low two of the many testimonials sent
to the Corresponding Secretary. They
speak for themselves
Miss ClOthier is one Of our leading
and most eminent workers in the whole
cause of temperance and humanity.
She is sincerely Christian; cultured,
yet practical; modest, yet brave; and
grandly true to her mission. Eloquent
on platform, cOnsecrated in tone, glow
ing, cheerful and resolute, she has
wrought gloriously for God and Home
and Native Land
H. A. DELANO,
Pastor First Baptist Church, Nor.
pak, Conn.
Miss Clothier has twice spoken in
this place to interested audiences. and
encourages the workers by her warm
and earnest words. The salt Of tenn.
perance truth cast into the fountain
head of our future, the youth of oul
land. is our hope. When that stream
is pure we shall be sober as we'll as g
godly people. Miss Clothier's worl
and words are therefore most impor
tant and promising.

The Graded School.

More properly speaking we should
say the proposed graded school.
Would that we could write it the grad
ed school that now is. The charter
passed both branches of the Legisla-
ture, which gives us the authority to
do certain things looking toward the
establishment of a graded school in
Henderson. With something tangible
to take hold of and work upon the
GOLD LEAF feels very hopeful that our
citizens will go earnestly to work to
secure such public school as we have
long felt the need of. Without under
taking to explain the provisions of the
charter we will publish the act in full
as soon as We can procure copy of
the bill, together with such comments
and suggestions as may be deemed
pertinent. No act has passed the Leg
islature which we consider more direct
ly concerns the future welfare of our
town than the law authorizing the
establishment of graded school in
Henderson. And the GOLD LEAF
accords all praise to those gentlemen
who so zealously interested themselv es
in the matter of securing the charter.
And to the Senators and Representa-
tives who kindly 'championed the
bill' for US and secured its passage,
we also desire to return thanks.

The Town Council last night or
-dered curbing to be set for a side
walk on the east side of South Samuel
street to South alley. The Council
received and spread upon its minutes
for future action the following report
of Enginees McEIroy in regard to
the extension of West street:
To he Mayor and Council Of 0e Corporation Of
CtdrlestOten:
GENTLEMEN :-In compliance with your in
Btructt0ns passed ut your meeting on The LIST OF
June, 1891. have made survey with refer
ence to the proposed extension of West street
and submit the following report and accom-
panying map and profile:
To present you q clear and compar Ative view
of the extension, observations were taken on
West street at Washington and norteerly.
The ground to be passed over on the pro
posed extension has been found favorable and,
| as shown on the profile, is mostly side cutting.
As will be seen on the map. the extension is
on the line of West street, to the angle and de-
| Election to the right hand. No advantage is to
be gained by breaking this line to avoid cut.
ting into the Simpson lot, since whatever might
be saved there must necessarily be less than
the cost of the required filling up on the other
| side of the street by such change of line.
To get better approach of North street on
the west side of West street. for passing both
ways on West street, a change isproposed and
marked on the map
The amount of land required of Mr.. John
Burns Is nearly three-fourths of an acre, and
that OF Mr.. VIM. Simpson is about one-twenty-
fifth of an acre.
There win be about 1850 yards of excavation
required to put the street in fairly passable
condition, and about $50 yards of this borrow
material. which latter is recommended to be
obtained by cutting two feet in depth off oil
Dorsey's hill on North street. North street at
this point, considering the travel on it, is in
worse condition than any other street in the
/ town.
| North of the railroad and beyond the cor.
porate limits 150'yards must be excavated.
The opening of this extension would afford
o long frontage to the land of Mr.. Burns and
q considerable amount TO the rear part of Mr.
| Simpsons lot, the enhancement and value Of
which would greatly exceed any damages.
| May be added $50 Jds. North of r. r.
