Fine Field of CLOVER.

HENDERSON, n. C., May 7th, '95.
EDITOR GOLD Leaf send with this
note q few heads of annual clover which
was cut from field of IL acres belong
ing to Messrs. Hardee & Marston, livery
men of this place. Said heads OF clover
will measure in length 16 and IL inches.
This clover was grown upon poor piece
of land with a moderate quantity OF
manure. This field is indeed place OF
beauty and should be seen by every far
mer in the county. 1t is an object lesson
from which they could learn much. W.
S. Parker, Esq, who is an authority in
such matters, says this clover will yield
from 2 to tons per acre.
Messrs. Hardee & Marston tell me that
this lot of clover az acres) will cost them
only $50. 90, including cultivation, seed (,
manure, cutting and storing in barn,
and will feed ten horses in their stables
from now until Christmas. This clover
will be cut next week, the land broken
| ND and seeded in millet about the first OF
June, and if seasons are good the miliet
| crop will be worth more than the clover.
Our farmer friends should take notice
OF this and go to work to raise their long
| food. Three to four acres seeded In
annual clover would make more rough
feed than all the stock on the average
farm would USE When this is done you
will see no Northern hay for sale in town

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Speaking Of the performance given
by Frank f. Grswold's Uncle Toms
Cabin Co., the Clinton, {Mo) Echo,
says:
Griswold's Uncle Toms Cabin Co,
gave the best performance last night
ever seen in the city The tent was
crowded and a better pleased audience
never assembled in Clinton. Mr.. Girls
void was here about year ago but the
company could not do justice to the play
on account of the stage being too small
and no scenery. This time, however, it is
different. They have a large tent with
the finest stage and best set of scenery
ever seen outside the large cities, and to
say the players did well is putting it
mildly. All we can say is that We hope
to see them back again.
Remember the date at Henderson,
Friday evening, May 10th. Admis-
sion 25 cents; children Is cents.

Got His Client Off.

Our readers will doubtless recall the
case Of J. B. Wilson, colored, known
as the s.hair tonic man. who was
tried at last term Of court and SEN
fenced to six mouths in jail for false
pretense. He sold the negroes prep
aration which he said would make their
hair grow straight like white folks,
aud with every fifty cent bottle he
gave an order on some store Tor dress
of such material as the purchaser saw
fit to select from samples shown,
whether the choice was silk or calico.
Wilson claimed that the goods would
be here at certain date. by which
time of course he expected to be Tar
away; but one of his customers being
in hurry to get the promised dress
presented the order at the store deslg-
mated while he was yet ''operatlng' IN
town. It was not honored of course,
and this together with the fact that the
magic working hair tonic had not
wrought the miracle OF making the
long silken locks Of the Caucasian take
the place of the short klnky curls OF
the African in the mean time, gave rise
to suspicious and demand for the re-
turn of the money paid.
Here trouble came to Wilson. tie
was arrested on the charge OF obtain
ing money under false pretense and
was bound over to court. He employed
Mr.. r. T. Hicks to defend him, and
like he does in every case he under
takes his counsel went in to win. He
made strong and able plea for his
client, presented a powerful array of
facts and cited authorities without num-
Der to show why he was not guilty,
but notwithstanding all this the jury
convicted Wilson and he was sentenced
to-six months in Jail as above stated.
But the case did not stop here. MIR.
Hicks took it to the Supreme Court and
last week the matter was finally dis
posee of and Wilson goes free. He
was already out on bail. However
guilty and deserving of punishment
technically the man may have been,
we car but admire the pluck and per-
severance of his counsel. There IS
no more industrious and indefatigable
worker in behalf of those whose causes
he undertakes than Mr.. Hicks. He is
painstaking in the preparation OF his
cases, thorough in their presentation
and persistent in prosecuting them 10
the last resort A we'll furnished law
yer, tactful and full of resources, his
success has been as gratifying to his
friends as it is deserved.

k1TTRELL, N. c., May 9Th, 1895.
The graves of the Confederate dead at
kittrell will be decorated Saturday, May
18th, at p. M.
Fifty or more of these honored men
died at the kittrell Springs Hospital and
we're buried on the place. Many years
ago the good women of the county, led
by Mrs. Elliott, of Oxford, had their
remains moved to knoll near the
station and planted cedar hedge
around the square OF graves. This hedge
has long since grown into trees which
shelter and mark the spot.
All to whom those days are a living
and glorious memory are invited to
attend and bring flowers. Those who
can not attend but wish to give flowers,
can send them to the Rev. j. B. Avirett
or to me.
Capt. b. A. Capehart has been requested
to deliver an address and all the minis
tiers of the place have been invited to
participate in the simple ceremonies.
