evening for the benefit of the Soldiers
Home. and we are pleased to know
their efforts were quite successful.
There was An abundance of good things
to eat aud the ladies were as attentive
and gracious in serving their guests

clothier, has been having some altera-
tons and improvements made in the
general plan and arrangement of his

partments for different goods more
than formerly. but the main object is
for the purpose of increasing his stock
by carrying larger and more COM
plete line of dress goods and trimmings.
and adding a millinery department.
This. in addition to his already large
stock of clothing. hats. shoes. turni-
ture, &C.. will make Lehman S store a
place where you can find almost any
and everything in the line ofwearing APP
parel and house furnishing goods.
Mr.. Lehman is preparing for more
business, and he says if handling the
best class of goods, selling at the low
est possible prices and dealing square
with his .ustomers will win, he is 90
ing to surpass all former efforts.
Mr.. w. E. Meador, a most cour teous
and afable gentleman and splendid
salesman, is with him and will be
pleased to see and serve his friends.

Thousands of sad and desolate homes
have been made happy BY :" Rose Buds"
which have proven an absolute cure for
the following diseases and their distressing

of the womb, suppressed menstruatlon,
rupture at childbirth, or any complaint
originating in diseases Of the reproductive
organs. whether from contagious diseases,
heredity. tight-lacing, over-work, excuses
or miscarriages. One lady writes US that

or Whites. that one application entirely
cured her. and, furthermore. she suffers no
more pain during the menstrual period. IL

Leg Amputated.

For several months Frank Green,
colored, a well known house painter
of the town, has heen suffering with
what he supposed was rheumatism in
one of his legs. The trouble was a
ruptured blood vessel, causing an en-
larged artery from which the limb had
become much swollen and diseased.
This necessitated an amputation and
yesterday the operation was success
fully performed by Drs. A. Cheatham
and F. r. Harris. The leg was taken
off at the thigh just below the hip, and
Mr.. Augustus Bradley, who was pres
ent and administered the chloroform,
tells us it was very neat and skilltul
piece of surgery. The patient isrcsting

The Country Publisher

The public should ever bear in mind,
says an exchange, that it is a constant
struggle with many country publishers
to keep their paper going financially.
The business is made up of such small
accounts that many people think that
the trifing amount due from them does
not matter much whether paid promptly
or not, forgetting that there may be
thousands entertaining the same idea,
and thus Withholding from the publisher
his hard earned dollars, while not par
ticularly meaning to work hardship.
The better plan is always to promptly
pay in advance for a newspaper the
moment the subscription expires. The
paper will be all the better for prompt
ness in this matter. for no man can get
up a spicy, interesting journal if his
mind is harassed by bills coming due,
and which, from the negligence of
patrons. he is unable to meet.

Misses Fannie and Lula Harper, of
Warrenton, are visiting the family of
their brother Mr.. II. H. Harper, in
Henderson.
Messrs. Thomas Gooch and W. 0.
Shannon, two popular and successful
travelling statesmen, are home for a
short while. Mr.. J. S. Harper was in
few days ago.
Miss Laura Mitchell, Of Memphis,

tives in Henderson. has taken her de-
parture much to the regret of host
of friends and admirers.
We were pleased to sec County Com
missioner John A. Fleming in town
Monday, he having about recovered
his usual health after severe wrestlc
of some weeks with the gripp.
Mr.. Geo. Manning, of the Whining
ton Messenger, is here completing the
quartette of Manning brothers who
have met for the fist time after sep
aration of about thirteen years.
The many friends of Mr.. Fred Hun

after taking a thorough course in book

Mr.. Stewart is bright young man
and the G OLD LEAF is not surprised
at the rapid progress he is making.
Rev. Sam Jones has been invited to
remain over in Henderson and preach
Sunday. but owing to his engagements
can not do so. Much as he would like
to preach before congregation of our
citizens he is compelled to decline as
he has lecture engagements elsewhere
which he must hurry on to fill. So our
people can not have the pleasure of
listening to a sermon by the great
evangelist.
Mr.. Harvey Gelbach. of Gettys-
burg. Pa, an expert in the manipula-
ton of the Beseler Stereopticon, has
arrived in Henderson, and will assist

young gentleman of intelligence and
good address. genial in manner and
sociable in disposition. and will make

How the Loafer Originated.

In the beginning God created heaven
and earth and all things therein. He
then created man aud woman and left
tho loafers on the corners, and in due
time they multiplied and spread into
the depot, post office and stores. In
the latter place they sit and explain
State and national problems that have
existed partially by sampling goods.
While he is thus engaged his wife is
out washing for her neighbors. and the
poor, helpless children are left at home
to care for themselves as best they
can. There is nothing more noticeable
than the loafer.-Erchange.

About Advertising.

With Acknowledgements to Messrs.
n. w. Aver & Son, the well known
newspaper advertising agents of Phil
adelphia, we adapt the following to
- exigencies Of the occasion and
,,ropriate it to our own use. There
are various ways of advertising.
There is, for instance, the hand bill,
that littereth the vestibule, but the
newspaper talketh with every member
of the family.
The circular if sealed, deceiveth for
a moment, but the newspaper is read
and hearkened unto.
The way-side sign tempteth the
small boy, and the robin hunter, but
the newspaper rideth in the pocket
Of the passer-by.
The sign fence stretcheth far across
the meadowy wastes, but the railway
traveller is engrossed in his newspaper.
Wherefore the use of the newspaper
is the beginning of advertising wisdom.
When interested as to what use? What
paper? Why the GOLD LEAF Of
