The GOLD LEAF will be pardoned
for celebrating the great Democratic
victory in the manner itdoes this week.
We didn't have time and space in our
last issue to manifest our good feeling
Lalf as much as the occasion demanded.
Don't talk about corruption and
doodle and force and bribery. Because
you are not lucky is no reason you
should be foolish. Men who wear their
hearts in their mouth and cry like
babies and get mad and foam and fret,
are not in place in political campaigns.
The marriage of Mr.. Whit w. Swain
@nd Miss Hattie, eldest daughter of
hlr. and Mrs. James A. O'Neil, is an
nounced to take place Tuesday evening,
November 22nd. A reception will
be given them at the home Of the
brides parents from 9 until IL O'Clock.
Henderson seems to be more enthu-
slastlc over the victory than most
places. 1t has had three torchlight
professions. but the grand parade
Tuesday night when the town was
''painted' all over, was the biggest
event Of all. The band played'' and
the boys hurrahed.
Owing to the fact that there will be
another entertainment at that time,
the one for the benefit of the Con-
Tolerate monument will not take place
next Thursday night, as previously
announced. 1t has been postponed to
a later date the exact time not having
been decided upon yet.

also, a few rooms which will be rented

Post office Inspector Cowee, of Iowa,
was here last Tuesday making an
inspection Of the Henderson office.
These fellows drop in at any time and
the post masters never know when to
look for them. He made a careful and
thorough investigation Of matters con-
nccted with the business of the office.
outside as we'll as in it, and in reply to
q question as to how he found things,
he said that if every other Office in
his territory was in as perfect and
satisfactory condition financially as
this one his reports would be quite
different from what he some times has
TO send in to headquarters. Further
thln this he would not say anything.
