A "Spring Pome."
When all the rain has fell,
When winters went away,
When buds begins to swell.
And spring has came to stay
A spell,
Wen hump along quite well,
When all the rain has fell.
When all the rain has fell,
And these cold winds has gone,
And folks has eggs to sell,
And flowers grows on the lawn,
l tell
You we'll get up and yell,
When all the rain has fell.

Our friend, John Chink,

And now and then obliquely wink
And think. and think
With Fate he's struggling.
He wonders now
With wrinkled brow
If circumstances will allow
(And if so, how?)
A chance for smuggling.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Argus
is in peck of trouble because the ieg1s-
lature is likely Ito administer a killing
blow to the nice little scheme cooked up
by Alderman Gallagher assisted by City
Marshal SWEET for the purpose of entrench-
ing the Democracy in power in four
wards in this city. There was nothing
but politics in the gerrymander of Mr..
Gallagher, and pretty low politics at that.
The claim that the new division was in
the interest of straighter lines and equali-
ty of voters was all sham pretense.
The inequalities are as great in the new
wards as in the old. The present adj
ministration was placed in power largely
through Republican votes. It was under
obligation to abjure politics and admin
lister the affairs of the city ON behalf of
all the people. Instead of that it set to
work devising scheme by which it
might fasten its grip upon the city for
decade. The scheme is certain to- be
thwarted and now the Argus and the
whole Democratic party have set up
cry of unfairness.

When the Argus talks about the next
administration having something to do
with the fixing of water rates it is pre-
Stunning upon the ignorance of it's con-
stituency. The Argus knows that the
question of water rates is before COM
mission agreed upon by the city of Port
land and the water company, and that
the decision of this commission will be
final. The next municipal administra-
ton will have no more to do with fixing
water rates than the administration of
President Cleveland. The Argus knows
this perfectly well, yet it dishonesty in
sinuates to The contrary in the hope that
it may impose upon some of its con-

Away Your Napkin.

away 4OOI NoPAAAs
Another year is upon us and the
time for planning for the future is at
hand. What have you done during the
year just closed for the advancement
of your town and section? What do
you propose to do along this line in
1898? Certainly we can and should do
more in the way of pushing Henderson
forward and securing needed industrial
enterprises than we have done. The
GOLD LEAF is ready to follow if you
will lead the way. Or it will blaze the
path if you will obligate to back it up
by coming on behind and clearing the
road for action in the race for new and
better thugs to follow. It is to-day
devoted to the interests Of Henderson
and Vance county as it has always
been for more than eleven years, and
stands pledged to the promotion of
whatever looks to their advancement
and prosperity. There are many things
that we need-more manufacturing en-
terprises-small industries that require
limited capital to start and operate but
which would use up various articles of
our ready and abundant raw materials
and give employment to greater num-
bcrs of our people. In short, We should
look to the Inauguration of new era
of progress and prosperity Of the COM
munity. by whatever means this may
be accomplished. Do yOn want Hen
derson to grow? Do you want to see
the citizens already here steadily en-
ployed at good living wages? Do you
want TO see new corners move in and
put their shoulders and their means to
the wheel and work side by side in this
direction How can these things be
done without your help? Do you want
it? Do you think it will do us any
good? Do you expect to prejudice the
effort and then reap the benefits
Shake off your lethargy or laziness,
turn out and 90 to work. Contemplate
every serious movement in the line of
our advancement. Devise new plans
for progress. Launch out and drop
your net into the deep if you want sue

Some Record of the Weather.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Why is it
that everybody remembers the snow of
1857, and no one seems to reco!!ect
anything about the preceding winter ?
The year 1855 closed with the most
destructive September freshets ever
known in this section, not only here
but elsewhere. remember hearing a
gentleman we'll known in this county
say that the amount of corn swept
away by Dan river, in sight of the
town of Milton, his old home, was esti-
mated at four thousand barrels. In
our immediate section the waters OF
Nutbush creek reached points hereto
fore supposed to be entirely out of
reach of the watery element floating of
stacks of fodder, oats. ETC., but here is
the record: September Goth, 1886
Nutbush higher than ever known.
1856, January 5th, hail 4 inches deep.
January 9Th, 1856. snow 6 inches deep.
January 18th, 1856, snow inches deep.
January Goth, 1856, snow still on the
ground. January Goth, hail, snow and
rain to-day. January 9th, 1856, snow
fell all the morning. February LIST and
End, thawing on the roads and South
hill sides, but almost as deep as ever
on North sides. February 3rd, snow
fell two inches deep. February 4th, sun
bright and clear, but the snow has not
melted-a very, very cold day. Now
will some one let us have the record
for 1857? Respectfully,
r. A. BULLOCK.

The Reflector extends its congratu-
lations to the Henderson GOLD LEAF

some support they will stand in their
own light Reflector.
