Henderson Visited by Fire.

HENDERSON f1Sltou Dy fire.
For some time Henderson has been
blessed in that it has not been visited
by any serious fires. The spell was
broken Monday night. however, when
the residence Off. B. Hayes was burned.
The fire originated in the kitchen and
was discovered about 10 O'Clock when
the alarm was given. This and one
or two other small outhouses together
with several cords of wood were soon
ablaze and the flames readily communi-
Gated to the dwelling. A large crowd
was soon on the scene and as much of
the furniture and other HOUSEHOLD goods
as possible were removed. The hose
company arrived late but in time to
prevent the house from burning entirely
down. All of the dining room and
kitchen furniture was lost, together
with a part of that in one or two of
the chambers. Mr.. Hayes had $1,000
insurance on the house and $3.50 on the
furniture, the bulk of which was saved.
He was insured in the Liverpool &
London Globe and Continental compa-
MES, represented by Mr.. J. R. Young.
The losses were promptly adjusted,
and Mr.. Hayes will at once rebuild,
putting up small four-room cottage.
The house burned cost him about ST.
600. The origin of the fire is not
known. There had been no fire in
the kitchen. the stove having been
taken out and put in the dining room
several weeks ago,

About That Hog Again.

Week before last the GOLD LEAF
had something to say about no"
being sold here after it had died a
natural death. Tuesday we had a
pleasant conversation in our office
with Mr.. Joseph S. Jones. who knew
all the particulars. and from him
learned the facts in the case. They
are these as related by him: Mr..
Evans Johnson had hog upon which
an operation had been performed from
which he afterwards died. Mr.. John
son was asked by neighbor, John
Huff, what he was going to do with
the animal, and to a reply that he
would either have him dried up for
soap grease or throw him out to the buzz
yards, was told not to do this that he
Huff would give dollar for him.
Not knowing what disposition the
purchaser proposed to make of the hog
the proposition was accepted and HUH
took the dead animal away. Mr.. john
son says that neither he nor his wife
had anything to do with the hog being
brought to town and sold, if such a
thing was done, nor did they know
what Huff did with him.
Soon after this Mr.. Johnson killed
a hog which Mr.. Jones says he saw
dressed himself, and brought it to Hen
derson and sold it. This hog was
perfectly sound and the transaction
was entirely legitimate. The GOLD
LEAF did not associate Mr.. Johnson's
name with the case first mentioned.
which for the mutual protection of the
citizens of the town and the honest,
we'll meaning people of the country, it
felt called upon to report. But others
did, from the facts above stated, and
as we do not wish injustice to be done
to any one we take pleasure i'll pub
fishing this. We do not know Mr..
Johnson, but his ueighbors speak of
him as an honest, hard working citizen,
who would not practice fraud upon
any one or be party to such a thing.

In Memory of r. E. Young.


Last Friday Mr.. p. Bourke placed
in position in Elmwood cemetery a
beautiful monument to the memory of
the late R. E. Young. 1t is quite
unlike anything Of the kind seen here.
The foundation is a large block of gran
lite upon which rests the marble work.
This consists of base with four round
columns on each corner surmounted
by capstone of appropriate design
with a beautiful top piece running up
two or three feet high. On the Gen.
trail piece between the upright columns
sits marble vase for flowers. The
inscriptions are simple and in good
taste. On the face of the marble
block are these words: "Robert E.
Young, born May l, 1912. Died
March IA, 1892" Just beneath are
these lines:
''In Thee, o Lord, do 1 hope;
Thou wilt hear, o Lord, my Cod
On the left side is: "A Faithful
Friend,'' and on the right, "a Devoted
Husband.'' No truer words were
ever written on the grave-stone Of
any man. Altogether it is a fitting
monument, fittingly inscribed. The
work reflects credit upon Mr.. Bourke,
and it is gratifying that we have a
man here at home who as an artist in
his line can not be surpassed.

Marriage of Mr.. Norwood Thomas and

Marriage of Mr.. Norwood Thomas and
Miss Lizzie Stallings.
There was a large and fashionable
audience assembled in the Methodist
Episcopal church Wednesday night to
witness the marriage of two of our pop
ular and well known young people, Mr..
Norwood B. Thomas and Miss Lizzie C.
Stallings. The church was brilliantly
illuminated and a profusion of ported
plants and flowers decked the altar and
chancel rail, which together with the
large number of lovely, fashionably
dressed ladies and gallant gentlemen
presented picture OF beauty and lowell
ness unsurpassed. The ceremony was
performed at S:35, the pastor Rev. w.
l.. Cuninggim officiating. Miss Emma
Averett presided at the organ with her
usual grace and skill. The ushers were
Messrs. Rom P. Watson, Geo. NJ. Man.
ming, VIM. R. McNair and Sam. D. Young.
The attendants were: Mr.. Joseph L.
Richard J. Corbett and Miss Mary Lou
Thomas. These entered first followed
by the contracting parties and in ashort
but beautiful and impressive manner the
words were pronounced that made them
husband and wife. The bride was beau
tifully and becomingly attired in white
with long veil and appeared radiant in
her loneliness. The groom never looked
nlanlier or happier and it was the verdict
of all that a more strikingly handsome
or congenial couple had not stood before
the marriage altar.
Immediately after the marriage the
bridal party repaired to the home OF
Mrs. Joel Thomas, mother of the groom,
where an elegant reception was rendered
them. The supper was a sumptuous and
elaborate affair and was greatly enjoyed
by those pres !, :. Only the members of
the immediate family, the ushers and
walters were invited.
The groom is a popular and highly
esteemed young gentleman, who has for
some time held the responsible position
of head clerk in the dry goods and no
lions department of S. & c. Watkins
store. The bride is the second daughter
of Mr.. Theophilus Stallings and is a
young lady of fine character, lOvable
disposition and rare qualities of mind
and heart. Both are held in high regard
by a wide circle of admiring friends and
acquaintance and no two young people
ever started upon the journey of welded
life with more sincere good wishes for a
long and happy and prosperous voyage.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas were the recipi-
ents OF many beautiful and costly bridal
presents, embracing the useful as we'll as
ornamental, tokens OF love and esteem
from friends at home and abroad.

Extends His Thanks.
Mr.. r. B. Hayes asks US to publicly

LEAF all, white and colored, who
rendered assistance in saving his
household effects and endeavoring to
check the flames when his house was
burned Monday night. He says he is
deeply sensible of the obligation he is
under to those who did for him on this
occasion what he could not do for him
self and the burden of loss sustained by
this unforeseen and unavoidable catas-

to help him in such time of need, as
well as the expressions of sympathy he
has received since the disaster.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disc ,se and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and. therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j.. Cheney &
Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to tea
spoonful. 1t acts directly upon the blood

offer one hundred dollars for any case it

Good Sized POrkers.

Mr.. VIM. S. Fuller reports the
finest hogs of the season so far. We'd
nesday of last week he killed three hogs
whose aggregate weight was 1880
pounds. One 13 months old weighed
500 pounds, one 2 years old 444 pounds
and another the same age 434 pounds.
Who can beat that? This shows what
can be done in the way of raising meat
in this country. Mr.. Fuller is not only
one of the largest men in the county
himself, but a raiser of big hogs as
well. And he is more than that: A
successful and prosperous farmer, a

Johnsou's Refined Minstrels

Another treat is in store for our
fun loving people. Johnson's Refined
Minstrels will appear at Burwell Hall
next Saturday evening. This is fine
company and comes highly recon-
mended. The Danville Daily Register,
a paper which does not indulge in
indiscriminate puffery, says this Of the
troupe:
Johnson's Ministries appeared at the
Academy of Music last evening before
a fairly good audience.
In the opening act the company
delighted the audience with their ell
egant costumes and the original fun
the men produced.
The work following was good and
the audience was we'll pleased with the
performance. Johnson does not pro-
TESS to have the biggest or greatest
show on earth, but he does claim to
have refined minstrel company COM
posed of twenty first-elass minstrel
artists and the performance last night
proved the accuracy of the claim.

Beware Of Cunning Accidents.
The cunning season is now in full
blast, and the usual number Of acct
dents caused by the careless handling
of firearms. The skilled sportsman
never risks his own life or that of others
by holding or carrying his gun in such
a position as to endanger anyone by
its discharge. He appreciates the
dangerous character of his weapon,
and is, therefore, careful in handling
it. Now that breech-loading arms are
so generally used, there is no excuse for
keeping them loaded-whether loaded
or not, the muzzle should at all times
be kept away from the body. 1t is
just as easy to acquire careful habits
in handling guns, as to get into habits
that place one in constant danger of
being self-wounded and perhaps killed.
The Crokery is so pretty
and Cheap at WATKINS.
