EDITdR GOLD LEAF:-Crops in this

somewhat damaged by recent rains and

dispute the truth of the assertion. Miss

The Davis Brothers Tobacco Co,

One of the biggest business euter-
prises that has been organized in Hen
derson lately in the form of corporate
association is the Davis Brothers
Tobacco Company. AS set forth in
the advertisement which appears else
where in this paper the object of the
new concern Is to conduct a warehouse
or warehouses for the sale of tobacco,
the purchase, sale, export and storage
of tobacco, and, in fact. to do a
general tobacco business whether as
handlers and dealers in leaf Or manufac-
turers. The corporation is to exist for
a period OF thirty years, unless dis
solved as provided by law sooner, the
capital stock to be 100000, divided
into $4,000 shares of $4,000 each. The
company is authorized to commence
business when 100000 Of its capital
stock shall have been paid in or Sc
cured. This amount has already been
subscribed by the incorporators Messrs.
Thomas A., Buckner and Owen Davis.
and books are now open to receive
further subscriptions. AS safe invest
ment the concern offers unusual induce
ments. The bylaws provide for the
issue Of preferred stock, upon which
an annual dividend of not exceeding
eight per cent. may be guaranteed.
and which shall have preference over
the common stock in the distribution
Of assets upon dissolution Of the

If farmers and others wish to iden-
tify themselves with an enterprise that
promises a safe investment and good
profit on the amount of capital stock
owned in it rare opportunity is here
offered. The incorporators are well
known and successful busiD ess men
and their past career is a guarantee OF
future success. With an aggre gated
capital and united energies the Davis
Brothers will make themselves even
greater factors in the business and
tobacco world than heretofore.

Tarrapins Too.

1t appears that even the terrapins-
or one of the tribe at least-are in the
swim of politics prophesying the cleo
ton of your Uncle Grover, according
to the following paragraph taken from
an exchange and copied into our little
contemporary The Hustler. It says:
A citizen of the Midway neighbor-
hood showed in town the other day a
terrapin caught by his wife few days
ago. The terrapin had ON the center
of his back as plain as anything could
be, the letter Co., and the figures
"33." Around the edge of the shell
were characters which did not require
much Imagination to read as eclectic"
Knowing ones interpret the writing
on the terrapin's back to mean that
''Grover will get a majority of 50
electoral votes.''

SACRED RELICS.
Letters That Never Came---Accident.
ally Found After the Lapse of Many
Years.

Our townsman S. H. Allen has shown
us package of old letters somewhat
sacred in character, because OF the cir
cumstances surrounding them and the
| memories which they awaken. They
were written during the war. and bear
the Confederate States postage stamps
The manner OF their resurrection or dis
cOvery was purely accidental. His little
daughter Miss Katie is making a collec-
ton of stamps and few days ago asked
her aunt, Miss Bette Reavis, if she
did not have any old letters she could
give her to get the stamps off of. This
lady was postmaster at Henderson dur
ing the war and for the first time in years
recalled the fact that up stairs in pack
room WIS box in which there were some
old letters, not remembering when or
why they were put there. Little Miss
Katie was notlong in making thorough
investigation and was rewarded by quite
an unexpected find.' The contents of
the box proved to be letters that had
become dim and musty with age and the
| stamps were not like those now in use.
lnstinctively the little girl took them to
her father and told how she came by them.
Mr.. Allen saw what they were and told
her they must not be destroyed or multi
ated in any way-they were sacred things
almOst-and as he recognized the names
OF a number of persons some of the let
ters were addressed to he would deliver
them into the hands of those for whom
they were originally intended.
The existence of these letters and their
being packed away in the place they were
found, in short is this: As already stated
Miss Bette Reavis was postmaster at
Henderson during the war, or the latter
part OF it, and these letters came by the
last mail from Oxford just about the
time OF Lees surrender, when the "Con-
federacy went up" The mails were
blocked and everything was at a stand
still. All letters and papers in the post
office here, as elsewhere, died as it were
then and there. There was no longer
any such government as the Confederate
States of America and there was COL
lapse and suspension of the postal service
together with every thing else. All letters
and papers in the post Office here at the
time were laid aside and finally thrown
into a box and packed away. When
Miss Bette Reavis went out of Office she
took these articles along with her and
they were put up stairs in q garnet and
finally forgotten. This is why they
happened to be in the place where little
Miss Katie Allen found them few days
ago.
There are quite a number of these let
tiers and we had intended giving a full
list OF them this week, but lack of space
at our service, and type running short
we have to defer this until next week.
