After the snow is over
And the sun again runs high,
There will be happy rover,
When the streets once more are dry
From the high character of the testi-
| nlOnials produced, it is safe to say the
Dewey Haywood Concert to be given

most artistic and delightful event of
the kind Henderson audience has vet
mad the opportunity of enjoying.

1t is a noticeable fact that notwitE-
standing the bad weather and muddy
condition of the roads, the crowds
attending court this week are unusually
large. This may be due in part to the
fact that all outdoor work is suspended
and the love of most people for the
novelty Of the court room and natural
inclination to flock together.

and customers wherever he goes and
always meets with cordial welcome.

who has been visiting Misses Cinda
and Pansy Cheek and other friends in
| Henderson. returned home last week

source Of delight in any company.
Every time fire occurs we realize
more and more the blessing of our
water works. Henderson could better
afford to grope in darkness, submit to
higher rates of observation-disclosures any
thing-in preference to going back to
the days when we had no water supply
again Come to think of it, we hardly
| know how the town was able to get
along without water as long as it did.

city, but that is what friend Williams
has recently done. The morals of his
town are SO good that the duties of the

The excessively cold weather has
bothered us greatly in getting out our
paper. 1t is impossible to do good
press work when the ink is cold and
stiff, the rollers hard and the color
refuses to distribute evenly over the
type. Ordinarily the GOLD LEAF has
the merit of neatness at least, and we
are sure our patrons will overlook any
short comings in this respect during
the past two or three weeks.

and encouragement. Good order viii

make each performance as agreeable
and satisfactory as possible to hi
patrons.
