THEODORE B. kINGSBURY.

Mr.. Edward Gillian, editor of the
Reidsville Re0iezy, pays the following
neat and deserved compliment to our
friend DR.. Kingsbury. When Mr..
Gillian says thing it is usually we'll
said, and in the following he does
credit to both his heart and head:
DR.. kingsbury is not only the ablest
and best equipped, but the most care
full and conscientious, writer in the
State. We behave it was once said of
him by a celebrated Northern editor
that his range Of general information
surpassed in extent that of any man in
the country within his knowledge.
More than any other man of the
century DR.. Kingsbury, resembles DR..
Talmage in the versatility and un
versatility of his genius and in the
inexhaustble source of mind and
memory upon which he is ever able to
draw. AS DR.. Johnson once said of
his friend and contemporary, DR..
Goldsmith, "Poet, naturalist and
historian, who left scarcely any style
of writing untouched, and touched
nothing that he did not adorn,' SO
also might be said of DR.. Kingsbury.
1t is no spirit of mere courtesy, or idle
reciprocity Of compliments that these
words are written. What we have
said goes without saying and is known
| Of all men. His transcendent gifts,
however, where they have been recog-
nzed at home, have been too lightly
appreciated, and, beyond the common
place homage which mediocrity is
wont to pay to intellect, our people
have failed to arrive at a just and
proper comprehension of the worth of
the really great man IN our midst.
This is not as it should be, when we
SO often see our best brains and blood
leaving old North Carolina in search
of congenial atmosphere and remu-
nerative fields Of labor abroad.

ATTY. M. C. A. SUNDAY.
A Fine Address---Rev. w. L.
Cuninggim Next Sunday.

The day was pleasant, so there were
not so many present at the Y NJ. C.. A.,
Sunday, as usual. Seldom, however, has
a more thoughtful address been given
than that delivered by the president, DR..
Fletcher R. Harris, at 3 O'Clock. 1t is to
be regretted that every aspiring, self
respecting young man in Henderson did
not hear it. The logic, philosophy and
thought was inspiring and exhilirating.
One said after the meeting, cit contained
more rich thought than ever heard be-
fore from single address,
The doctors theme was, "Let no man
despise YOU" He endeavored to show
that there were latent possibilities in
each which if seen and appreciated would
stir one to activity and the diligent use Of
means whereby the highest development
would be reached. "There is but one like
you in the whole UNIVERSE" said the
speaker. "You have place and a mis-
sion in the world. Be an example to the
world, in love, in disposition, in faith, in
purity. tits not limitations but reproduc-
tions of Christ the world needs. Make
all men respect you. You can do it. You
can make brain. Did you know that? By
study and application you may increase
the power of the brain. Growth of the
higher eliminates the lower propensities. :"
The solo of Miss Mary Lou Thomas
and the quartette selection were we'll re-
ceived. Rev. Mr.. Cuninggim will speak
next Sunday at 3 p. IN. Subject: 'The
Young Mans Pleasures"

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Laura A. Finch, wife of Henry A.
Finch and daughter of James E. and Sallie
Hedgpeth, died January 6. 1894, at the age
of 81 years months and Is days.
She was born August "a, 1856, protested
religion and joined the Methodist Prot
estant church at Union Chapel at the age
OF IA years. She was married October 20,
1873. Was kind and faithful wife and
one of the best mothers ever knew.
She leaves husband and eight children,
and large number of friends to mourn
her loss.
The writer was her pastor and teacher
before and after her conversion, and al
ways found her faithful in her religious
duties. She delighted in the songs of the
sanctuary in the years when Union Chapel
was famous for its uneXcelled church
music.
But she has laid aside the earthly song
and joined the Heavenly choir.
She lived a true and faithful Christian
life and her death was triumphant in hope
of an immortal crown.
May her children follow her earthly ex-
ample and meet her in the land of endless
life. May this sad bereavement be sancti-
fed to the spiritual gain of all her friends.

ABOUT GARDENING.
Some Timely Hints to Farmers
and Others.

AS the gardening season is at hand the
following is published for the benefit OF
our readers who are interested in the
subject of raising vegetables. The article
was written by the agricultural editor of
the Petersburg (ya) Inder-Appeal, from
which paper it is taken:
Gardening should begin now. First
clear the ground OF litter and rubbish,
which burn to destroy insects, then
manure well, and spade or pillow deep,
throwing the soil into long straight
ridges for the frost to pulverize. You
can then plant seed almost any day you
wish, as the tops of the ridges will be
comparatively dry, even in rainy weather,
and you will only have to chop the tops
little with a hoe, to get mellow soil.
When ready to plant seed loosen the top
OF the ridge, open a small trench, in
which SOW your fertilizer, and then push
the soil back over the manure, fatten
the ridge, and SOW your seed.
DO not attempt to plant many seed
before about the end of the month or
later. But put in at once few OF the
following, in order to have your family
garden Oh the way:
Garden peas, one or two rows extra
early. Cabbage one or two papers of
earliest. Collards, some for early, but
April is early enough for the main crop.
Lettuce, half now and balance later
the curled is the best. Radish, one half
now, but you will have to shelter the
young plants from frost. Tomatoes, in
boxes. Mustard, but this should have
been sowed in October Onion seed, but
18th March is early enough for this,
Put out the main crop of onion sets now,
| if not done last fall. Plant Irish potatoes,
q few for early crop if you like bat first
of March is time enough. Make a few
| hills for gourds, and put the seed in the
| ground now. They do much better
planted early. Also hill or two Of
balsam pear, as it takes long time for
the seed to grow. Plant out horse
radish, artichokes, asparagus plants,
hop roots, and all herbs of woody
nature. Work the ground between the
onions, kale, mustard, lettuce, ETC., that
were planted last fall. Prune the shrub
berry and vines. Prepare sticks and trelli'
for peas and tomato.

HENDERSON, N. c., March Z, 1894
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-It is an old time
saying that "there is nothing new under
the sum-" and 1 am inclined to believe
such is true. In company with a friend
a few days since l met noted and sue
cessful hog raiser and farmer, and after
a short chat in regard to the most eff
Gent way to raise hogs, he informed US
that he had invented something that he
called ''hog stretcher," and invited us
over to his pig stye to see it. We found
his style to have partition SO the pigs
could have ingress and egress. Other
particulars will not give as l think he
has notion to take out letters patent
on it. We also found in his hennery the
finest lot of "britches Leg hens l have
seen in many days, which he designs
crossing on the turkey buzzard. Every
thing our friend starts seems to prosper
in his hands; hence have no doubt he
will succeed in both these enterprises. If
so fortune for him is in the near fu-
ture. Boys, set you traps and catch
some turkey buzzards. They will bring

DONATION OF CHINESE AND JAPAN

| THE UNIVERSITY AND THE COLLEGE s.
/ beg to say in conclusion that /
have observed with much sorrow effort:
making to arouse UNCONVENTIONAL oppo-
sition against the University. The
University is conducted neither against
the interest nor for the interest of any
particular denomination. 1t is State
institution, whose benefits and privi-
leoes are freely offered to the youth o
all denominations. Were it otherwise
it would not desire to exist.
Its influence and its positive teach
ing are distinctly religious but it car
no more be UNCONVENTIONAL than the
legislative, executive or judicial depart
ments of the State. The University
desires the prosperity Of every college
and school in North Carolina. Il
recognizes the fact that the State ha:
urgent need for them all and tina
their halls would be filled to overflow
ing if they could attract even fraction
Of the young men in North Caroline
who sadly need college culture an(
training. 1t is the earnest desire o
the University to work harmonious,
and alphabetically with all TIT
colleges, for it recognizes them as self
sacrificing, earnest and most valua bl'
co-laborers in the field Of highe
education. There is abundant worl
for all. Let the State properly endov
the University, and the denomination!
will quickly endow the colleges. Wha
we need is not opposition and obstruc
ton, but construction and cooperation
This is matter that deserves thu
serious and active attention of tn
Board of Trustees, and in dealing witt
it l shall most gladly follow their guild
ance.

TIE REVIEW HAS IT'S SAY.


While the ReUie7o's admiration for
Senator Vance scarcely knows bounds,
he being almost beyond criticism with
us, yet we are frank to say that we
never did take any stock in his fight
on Hope Elias. And we have still
less sympathy with the opposition to
Simmons coming from the same source.
1t is so gratuitous, SO uncalled for and
ta--~- e~...uU..... S~AI...Iy
ought to condemn it.
There are familiar dictums to the
effect that republics are ungrateful,
that corporations have no souls, that
public sentiment is tickle and capri
cious, but we have yet to believe that
the organized self respect of North
Carolina Democracy endorses the fight
being made on Simmons, thus con-
victing itself Of base ingratitude. AS
we have said before, the Democratic
party is under lasting obligations to
Simmons for his services in the past
campaign. AS chairman his leader
ship was an ms piration, and from first
to last the Dem ocratc forces never
wavered in their onward course to
victory. The mastery manner in
which he controlled the party
organization should not count tor
nothing in this crisis. He exhibited
genius in directing the fortunes OF
Democracy. He restored order out
of chaos. With him as our leader we
plucked the chaplet of victory from
the jaws of defeat and from the nettle
danger secured the flower safety. Are
these all benefits forgot?"
The opposition to Simmons is
reflection on the Democratic party and
should be treated as such. The choice
of the party's leader is challenged,
and no matter how high in authority
his opponents stand their crusade
ought not to be tolerated. We have
nothing to say against his enemies or
their motives, but they ought to be
made to feel that they are carrying
this matter too far. What good they
expect to accomplish for the party or
themselves by persisting in such a
course is more than we can under
stand. Some of their objections to
Simmons are possibly we'll taken. But
are they not willing to forego their
specious charge and captious criticisms9
Are they not willing to let the good
outweigh the bad? Will they not
concede something for the party's sake
in the interest of harmony?
If Democrats have any dirty linen
to wash let it be done in the backward
and not under the public gaze with
Republicans 70 assist in the operation.
That is what the Review has to say
about t.-Reidsville Reuiezg.
