The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1893-07-06

The events that actually transpire
are not the ones that worry us so much
as those that we fear will happen and
those we wish had happened.
Thos. 5. Eaton, clerk. announces
that the Board of County Commits
sioners will meet Monday, July 10th,
Tor the purpose of revising and correct
ing the tax list, &c.
Now that the warm weather is here
1t is necessary to put the milk, butter
and meats in the cellar to keep them.
The cellar should be cleaned, all de-
cayed vegetable matter removed, the
walls whitewashed and lime sprinkled
over the floor.
AS the time for sowing turnips is
now at hand it be well for those inter-
ested to remember that there can be
no mistake made by planting large
quantities of them. 1t is crop that
requires but little work to produce,
after preparing the land as it should
be. They make fine food for cattle
and sheep.
From all that can be learned the
finest crops seen in this section for a
long time are now upon the fields. The
seasons have been very favorable up
to the present. and the Respondent
heart should feel thankful for the God
given abundance. Better times are
coming to those who work and wait
yet little while longer.
The GOLD LEAF would like to have
each week a postal card correspondence
from all over this section. An item,
or items, from here and there, of in
terest, and briefly told, would prove a
welcome feature. If anything special
occurs in your neighborhood, kind
reader, send it along upon postal.
Don't wait for some one else to do it.
There is a rich treat in store for
lovers OF fine music, vocal and instru-
mental, recitations, &C., to be held
in Burwell Hall Tuesday, July 18th.
The concert under the auspices, of
the Woman's Aid Society of the Bap-
list church, will be assisted by several
visiting young ladies together with
some of our most popular home talent.
Take the word enough trans
pose the letters in such way as to
make two words signifying "not
enough" This is how it is done {:
Take the third, second and first letters
for the first word, and the sixth, fourth
and fifth for the second, and you have
something that is not enough for the
average girl. But of course this does
not apply to Henderson girls.
Mr.. L. r. Croker, Superintendent
of Public Instruction for Vance county,
will hold an examination on next
Thursday, July 18th, for the purpose
of examining young men as to their
qualifications for admission to the
North Carolina College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. A course in this
excellent school will prove very valu-
able to any young man, and all who
desire to do so should not fail to attend
this examination.
"If the yoke of Christ is not easy you
are wearing it with stiff neck "The
angels are Gods servants, but redeemed
men are His sons" These are samples

ing published by that unique and orig

At the pic mic Tuesday at Satter-
whites mill while Mr.. w. E. Moss,
of the post office. was giving an eXhi-
bition of expert bicycling to the delight
of happy children and other spectators,
very amusing accident happened to
him, by which he was forced to take
bath before the proper time. He
was riding on the dam, and cOlllded
with George Barnes. precipitating him
into the water where for time moth
ing could be seen but his hat. But
being of an accommodating disposition
he seemed willing to contribute to the
pleasure of others even at the expense
of an unexpected plunge beneath the
surface.
The Presbyterian Sunday-school
went on their annual pic mic outing
last Tuesday. Satterwhite's mill was
the scene of the pleasantries and il
was an occasion that will long be re.
membered by the young people who
attended. The day was most pleas
antly spent by every one present, ole
and young, and especially the children
who passed away the time strolling III
and down the stream, fishing, talking
etc., and perhaps counting some az
well (pic MICS furnish fine opbortunitie:
for this pleasant pastime), and seemed
to enjoy themselves to the fullest ex
tent. A most enticing and sumptuous
repast was spread upon the ground t.
which all repaired, feeling very read.
to partake of the tempting delicacle'
laid before them in such abundance.
