Lawyers are frequently made the

be gone if they had such an exemplary
set to deal with as the gentlemen com

a Washington correspondent writes:
" Mr.. Walter II. Henry has given up
all hopes Of securing Il consular APP
pointment, but | understand the Presi-
dent has promised Senator Ransom to
ilud place for him in another depart
| ment." The GOLD LEAF does not know
how much truth there is in this state
ment. When last we saw Mr.. Henry
he was confident of securing Il foreign
| appointment, which had been virtually
promised him, and his friends hope
he may not be disappointed.
Tuesday evening an enjoyable ice
cream party was held at the residence
OF Mr.. and Mrs. a. 6. Daniel, on Fair
Ground street, where a number of young
! people spent a pleasant evening. The
| party was given i'll honor to Miss
Annie Baird. sister Of the hostess.
| Music and rcfres hments were Il very
| pleasing feature OF the happy event.
| Ice cream, cakes fruits and candies
| were served at a seasOnabie hour, and
| those who attended were glad tlIey
were there and sorry when the hour of
| departure came.
We are pleased to learn that the
| prospects are good for a large enroll
ment Of students at the Gilmer High
| School next session. Prof. Gilmer is
a thoroughly competent teacher and
| his efforts to build up good school for
| boys and young men in our midst
should meet with the highest success
He should be literally sustained both
| by patronage and moral support. While
an institution Of this kind is a private
enterprise it is one the public should
feel deep interest and pride in and
It's success and welfare should concern
them no less than the principal.
Alex Cooper fell from his bicycle
Friday afternoon and had the mis-
fortune to break his thigh just below
the hip Joint. The accident is all the
more deplOrablc from the fact that it
was his cripple leg from which he has
suffered greatly from time to time for
several years, although it has given
him but little trouble for some time
and he was able to ride horse back or
take Il spin on his wheel as easily and
cXpertly as any Of the boys. The
little fellow has experienced much pain
a> Il result OF the accident but is doing
rs we'll as could be expected under the
circumstances.

While at Asbury Park, \. j., We
attended the night performance Of the
great FOrepaugh Shows. Not that We
were anxious to see the circus, O
course, but for the purpose OF seeing
our townsman Mr.. Will +. Wallet
who is the star jockey and bareback
hurdle rider with that famous amuse-
ment attraction and combination O
wonders But we failed to see him hi
having hurt his knee few days before
and gone to Long Branch to rest q
week or ten days. as we learned from
the Director. We heard indirectly
from Mr.. Wallet afterward and he
was getting on all ri light and expected
to reioin the show and resume worl
again in a few days.
