FRANK PAUL, an alleged newspaper
advertising agent, Of Louisville, KY,
who succeeded in getting some news
papers in this State to publish the
trance medium advertisement recently
sent out, is said to have skipped for
parts unknown, leaving various and
sundry unpaid bills behind. We have
no sympathy TO waste on publishers
who are gumps enough to accept
business(?) Of this character offered in
the way it was by man of whom
they know absolutely nothing. The
advertising contract itself, and the copy
of the advertisement were sufficient to
convince any reasoning person that
the whole thing smelled of fraud, it

ALL HONOR TO HIM.

All honor TO John E. Woodland,
solicitor for this district, in declining
TO receive the certificate Of election
over c. NJ. Bernard, his late political
opponent, which was awarded him on
a mere technically. Bernard was
clearly elected, upon the face OF the
returns, and Mr.. Woodard is too
honest and honorable man to accept
office and enjoy the emoluments
thereof by any quirk or quirP not in
accordance with strict fairness and
justice.
The GOLD LEAF knows OF no man
in the district that it would not prefer
seeing occupy this or any other posi-
ton of trust and responsibility than
this fellow Bernardo man who de-
scended to the lowest level Of the dirty
demagogue and deliberate stlrrer up
of discord and bitter animosltles
between the races in his political
speeches during the last campaign
and yet it would rather endure him
than have its friend hold the Office
under the surrounding circumstances.
And this is the view that Mr. Wood
ard very correctly takes of The matter.
In declining to receive the certificate
awarded him by the State canyassers,
Mr.. Woodard says:
| have had office under clear title
for four years and could not consent
to hold it longer under a commission
issued on a mere technicality or even
tainted with suspicion Of technical
invalidity, but prefer to surrender the
comm isslon.
All honor to the heart and head of
the man who penned the above.
There is no more honorable and high
toned gentleman in the State than
John E. Woodland, and his course is
exactly what might have been ex-
pected of him. Still, in these de-
generate times of scrambling for Office
such action is refreshing and his deci-
sion will be applauded as the proper
one under the circumstances. Mr..
Woodland has made an able, pains
taking and conscientious solicitor, and
in his retirement the district loses the
services of valuable officer.

AN important decision made by the
Supreme Court of North Carolina was
that of w. H. Rowland, OF Durham,
VS.. the Old Dominion Building and
Loan Association that has been in
litigation for some years. 1t is held
that when a mortgage is foreclosed a
stockholder does not forfeit his stock,
and that in a forcloseure credits
should be given for payments upon
stocks, or, if this is not done and the
mortgage is satisfied from the proceeds
OF a sale, the stock remains the
property Of the borrower.-Charlotte

A CHRISTMAS SERMON.

The following timely and practical
article we take from the editorial
columns Of the last issue Of that ad
mirable. farm and household publica-
ton N0me anu Eaym, of Louisville,
Ky. Read it and then profit by the
practice Of its precep,s:
Reason and religion unite, in the
celebration of Christmas. A year S
toll lies behind US and before beginning
again the work Of the world, it is we'll
10 stop for a little while and, with the
family about us, with the children
happy might Of Christmas morning,
to rest from care and toll and count
over our blessings.
1t is difficult under existing condi-
tions to be happy, with real happiness;
to put aside, to thrust away, the cares
which have followed us the whole year
round, but the truth is that, though we
give up the best part Of life 10 L" better
ing our condition" materially, the
best things of life are not gained by
taking " thought of Tomorrow.
1t is these "best things that
Christmas comes to tell of again. 1t
is "the things OF the spirit" which are
worth most, whether We know it or
not. Happiness is not dependent on
the things that perish, but on love, on
obedience, on sympathy. 1t matters
not much what our worldly goods are,
but it matters greatly what our wives
and mothers, our children and grand
children think of us.
We do not get happiness by fore
thought. Peace and contentmenu
sympathy for others in joy as; well rs
sorrow an unexpected pleasure; an
unintentional kindness aid given
where it was not looked Tor some one
day passed with frend-it.is lnese
experiences which enrich life and
make for godliness.
Christmas stands for all this The
first Christmas morning in Gaililee
called the shepherds from their locks
to listen to the songs of the angels.
That anthem was "glory to God i'll
the highest and on earth peace good
will to men," The wise men of the
East followed the star to Bethlehem
and left there their costly gifts OF
franklincense and myrrh.
That Christmas called the world
away from the merely material things
Of life into higher atmosphere OF
faith, of hope, of courage, Of peace
and good will. That child, when he
reached manhood, taught men to pray,
not for abundance, not for wealth, but
simply for the days bread. If Christ
should come to earth again this Christ
mas His grief would not be SO great
over the sin Of the world as over the
joyless condition of his own followers.
The children, at least, have a claim
to this holiday, and it should be made
SO full of happiness that it will cast
over all the coming year light of its
own. The very best thing you can
give your children is the memory Of a
happy childhood, and child's happi-
ness depends very little on riches.
Surrounded with love and care, he
knows no difference between much
and little, and we should not embitter
privations, by cheerlessness, by morose-
nessby indifference to childish pleasure
and childish hopes.

AS foreshadowed at the meeting in
Asbury Park last summer when it was
decided to 60 to Florida next time,
there will be no convention of the
National Editorial Association in 1905.
A circular letter just received from the
corresponding secretary, Hon. Joseph
M. Page, editor of the Jerseyville II.) }
Democrat, says:
At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the National Editorial
Association, held at the Auditorium
Hotel, Chicago, Dec. 9th, after dis
tusson of two hours, it was decided to
hold the next annual meeting in
Florida, January 21-24, 1896. The
city was not designated, as Jackson
vile and St. Augustine are both
anxious for US, and the selection was
left to the president, corresponding
secretary, and treasurer, who will
receive propositions from the several
Florida cities and report in ample time
to arrange for transportation, etc.
