Death Of Mr.. Thos. N. Beacon.

Mention was made in these columns
last week of the serious illness Of
Mr.. Thos. n. Beacon, who was on
his way home from Southern California
where he had been hoping the mild
climate would prove beneficial to him.
About the time the paper was out
news Of his death reached u.s.. He died
on the train between Sierra Blanc and
San Antonio, Texas, about O'Clock
on the night of February 2sth. His
brother Mr.. John E. Beacon was with
him and the body was taken to San
Antonio where it was embalmed and
prepared for shipment home. 1t
reached Henderson on the Durham
train Monday. The funeral was held
from the Episcopal church at 4:3O
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, the rector
Rev. Julian E. Ingle conducting the
service A large number of the friends
of the family and of the deceased young
gentleman, from town and country,
were present to pay the last sad tribute
Of respect to his memory. The service
though brief and simple was a solemn
and impressive one, and after the
exercises at the church were concluded
the procession moved to the cemetery
where the body was consigned to the
grave. The floral offerings, emblem
attic of the pure and upright life of
the lamented dead, were beautiful and
appropriate.
Mr.. Beacon was about q years of
age. Naturally of delicate constitu-
ton he fell an easy victim of con-
sumption. In company with his brother
he went to Los Angeles, CAL, in
November last, leaving home on the
18th, and reaching there on the 2lst.
For awhile he seemed to improve, but
after few months stay and growing
worse he started to return here to spend
the remaining days of his life, which
he realized could be but few, with his
aged and devoted parents and loved
ones at home. His weak condition
and the fatigue of travel caused him
to begin to sink rapidly soon after the
return trip was begun and the sad
sequel is told above. The deceased
was son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Beacon, of Henderson,. He was
young man Of exemplary habits and
fine character and was held in high
esteem by all who knew him. Quiet,
modest and unassuming though he was,
his sterling worth and superior bust
ness qualities were recognized and APP
preciated, and his future appeared to
be full of promise and usefulness. In
his sad and early death the aged pa
rents, upon whom the hand of affection
has been heavily laid within the past
few years, have the sympathy Of the
community.

An Unfortunat Case OF Acct
dental Killing.

Last Sunday night about o'clock
Isaac Curtis, a well known and respected
cOlOred man of the town, was shot and
fatally wounded under circumsta noes
which are very sad and unfortunate
The particulars are about as follows:
William Bullock, a friend of Curtis, was
on his way to church in company with
Dora Hester, and while passing along
the path in the skirt OF woods across the
branch beyond Allen & Ginter's factories,
between the white and colored cemeteries,
near the edge OF town, were talking about
burglars, &c. The woman remarked to
her escort not to be talking that way or
he would scare her, the lonely nature
of the place and the proximity to grave
yards, doubtless contributing to the
fright of both. At any rate it appears
that they were wrought up to q pretty
high state of excitement at the time, or
the fatal results that followed would
hardly have occurred. Isaac who was
ahead of them, but unknown to either,
had stepped out into the edge of the
woods few feet from the path. Upon
hearing the noise Bullock drew his pistol,
and detecting the outline of some object
raised the weapon and fired, the ball TAX
ing effect in Curtis abdomen The ter
rible mistake was detected and the
wounded man removed to a house near
by, Bullock assisting in doing all he
could for the friend and associate lie had
unfortunately and fatally shot. A ply
stefan was summoned but the ball could
not be located. 1t was apparent from
the first that the wound was fatal and
about $50 O'Clock Monday night Curtis
died
Bullock could not be found during
Monday, but early Tuesday morning, as
soon as he found that the wounded man
was dead, he went to Sheriff Powell and
surrendered himself He was arraigned
before Justice S. II. Allen, and after hear
ing the evidence in the case Bullock was
held in a bond of $3.50 for his appear
ance at the next term OF court. Failing
to give bail he was then committed to
Jail. The statement of Curtis cOrrob-
crates that of Bullock and the woman
Dora Hester. The men were good friends
| and belonged to the same secret orders.
Isaac was on his way after a sister OF
Dora Hester, who accompanied Bullock,
| to take her to the same church they were
| going to. The whole occurrence is u very
| sad and unfortunate affair, and the sole
cause may be summed up ip the single
fact that Bullock carried pistol. From
| the evidence and all the surrounding cir
cumstances this appears to be about all
| the blame that attaches to him.
Isaac Curtis was polite, respectful
Industrious and we'll behaved colored
man and was liked by both whites and
blacks. He was peaceable by nature, Of
| jovial friendly disposition, full of life and
frolic, and his death under such pecu
liarly unfortunate conditionsis generally
regretted. The body was buried Tues
day afternoon with Mesonic honors
There was large turnout OF his friend!
and many expressions of sympathy ant
regret and words of commeudation wer
uttered in his behalf. The funeral wa
held from the colored Methodist church
the services being conducted by Rev
! William Sutton.

lone of the Finest"

Travelling men who come this way
are generous in their praises Of Massen-
burg's Hotel. 1t is $ one ofthe finest'
and no mistake. A well known gentle
mann, native of this State, but now
living in New York, passed through
Henderson a few days ago and got
dinner here. As he left the dining
room he remarked that he had been
travelling good deal lately and had
stopped at hotels paying from $3.50
to 800 day, but nowhere had he
found such an excellent meal, variety,
cooking, table service and everything
considered, as he had just partaken of.
This was high compliment to the ex-
cellent management of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. 2. Massenburg, but the GOLD LEAF
is quite sure it was deserved. There
are no better judges of good hotel
than travelling men, and their verdict
is that in Massenburg's Hotel Hender-
son still maintains its supremacy for
the best kept roadside inn "in forty
States The proprietor is ever on
the alert to give his guests the best
| that can be had and to make them feel
at home. The food is tirst-ciass,
abundant and of good variety, the
cooking unsurpassed, and the table
service attentive and polite. Added
+ to this the beds are soft and comfort
! able. the linen as immaculate as the
/ best laundrying can make them. the
rooms neat and tidy, warm and cozy.
/ What more can a weary and hungry
traveller desire? And this is what
makes Massenburg's Hotel the popular
place it is

Fair Warning.

The following is a verbatim copy of
a notice stuck up in a wheat field near
town. It is written in plain, legible
hand, and the only variation from the
rules Of grammar and photography, is
in tho spelling, wording and punctua-
ton Of the advertisement. But for all
this the writer makes himself under
stood and it can not be denied that the
proprietor of said wheat field gives as
fair warning to owners of stock tres
passing upon his property rights as if
the most eminent scholar and lawyer
had been employed to do the work.
The notice reads as follows:

HOW'S This?

Each chop chips a chip, each ad
adds trade. The sharper the axe, the
larger the chip. The more effective the
ad, the better results. It's the last
chop that fells the tree. To its effect
ivcness is added that of all that have
gone before So also it is the last
ad that is most effective. Had it
not been for the first chip the last could
not have been cut. If it could the
effect would have been nil. So, too,
with the last ad. 1t was smaller than
the first and cost less, but it felled the
tree of success, scattering branches of
prosperity over ground that was bare
before. Printers Ink.

We have the word of Alfred Tennyson
for it that in the spring the young man s
fancies lightly turn to thoughts of love. 1t
is singular that the great laureate omitted
to mention the fact that it is in the spring
race turn to taking Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Probably nothing but the difficulty Of find
ing a good rhyme for that invaluable
remedy deferred him. Certain it is that
the old time domestic remedies are gener-
ally discarded in favor of the standard
blood purifier, Hood s Sarsaparilla, which
has attained the greatest popularity all
over the country as the favorite spring
medicine. 1t purifes the blood and gives

This Speaks Well.

If our people continue to pursue the
plan of raising more of their own sup
plies at home, it will not be many years
before they will be entirely independent
of the North and West for many of
the products they now have to look to
those sections for. So far as raising
hogs and beef cattle is concerned they
are fast getting there in tina: respect.
MIR Hartmaier tells us that he has not
had to send away to buy pound Of
pork this year to supply his customers
with-and he sells great deal ofmeat,
it must be remembered. His market
has been supplied altogether with home
raised pork. And he gets much of
his beef in the same way, although he
is obliged now and then to handle Rich
mond or Chicago meat. This should
not be so. Let our people give more
attention to raising fat cattle for
market.
