The Hillsboro Becorder, (by Mrs
NJ. II. Fairbrother), itself as neat ty-
geographically as it is spicy and inter-
esting editorially, speaks thus kindly
and complimentary of our neighbor
over in Granville, to all of which the
GOLD LEAF heartily agrees: "We
have been thinking it for several weeks,
and so we will say now that the Ok
ford Public Ledger is as neat paper,
geographically as is turned through
any press in North Carolina, and it is
always full of Interest,"

Mayor Switzerland had the misfor-

jured Monday afternoon as to necessi-
tate killing the animal. His wagon,
driven by colored man, was at Mid

the train and ran. Turning suddenly
the driver was thrown out and the
team ran violently against a pile of
cord wood near by striking one of the
horses full in the breast breaking his
shoulder blade. Mr.. Switzerland went
down in response to telegram and
seeing the injured and helpless condi-
ton of the horse it was shot. The
other one escaped without serious dam

Death of Mrs. J. p. HAYDEN.

Mrs. Fannie Switzerland Hayden,
wife of Mr.. j. z. Hayden. Of Hender-
son, passed peacefully away about
O'Clock last Thursday evening. She
had been in feeble health for some time
and her decline had been rapid during
the past month or two. As a result of
her broken down physical condition
| causing nervous prostration Mrs. Hay
den's mind became impaired and she
was taken to Raleigh where it was
hoped that under the care and treat
ment ofexperts she would soon recover.
But alas, the fondest hopes and antici-
pations of friends and loved ones were
doomed to disappointment as the sad
sequel shows. Just two weeks from
the time she left homo death re-
lieyed her of her earthly sufferings.
Naturally of frail constitution Mrs.
Hayden had been great sufferer. But
| with sublime fortitude and Christian
resignation she bore her affections
| with patience and meekness of spirit
becoming one who entertains lively
hope of blissful Immortality beyond the
present life. Mrs. Hayden was a con-
sistent member of the Baptist church
and those who knew her best esteemed
her most highly.
The funeral was held from the Bap-
fist church at 5 O'Clock Friday after
noon, the pastor. Rev. }. w. Willard,
| conducting the service. The minister's
remarks upon the exemplary life and
character of the deceased, and the les
son taught by the presence Of death
| and the Christians faith and hope were
touching and eloquent.
The music was particularly beautiful
and seldom have voices blended more
perfectly than on this occasion. Flow
ers in profusion were sent by loving
friends and arranged in exquisite de-
signs and clusters about the casket,
sending forth their silent tribute of
sweet perfume, which with the fearful
eyes of assembled friends and relatives,
made the scene most impressive one.
The interment was at the cemetery.
The grave appeared bower of flowers
and as the last act of loving hands
was concluded, amidst budding leaves
and blossoms and song birds all that
was mortal of the lamented dead was
left to await the resurrection morn.

LOVERS LANE.

Eyes of blue the glance that thrills.
Whisperings of the old, old tale,
Moonlight silv'ring distant hills
With Its dreamy, filmy veil;
Down the path our slow feet trend,
Our shadows with the naples blend
In our hearts the same refrain
AS We roam through Lovers Lane
Lovers Lane is lined with trees
Stately naples, elm and oak,
And the network of their leaves
Ger the pathway spreads a cloak;
But now and then truant ray
OF saucy moonlight finds its way
into the bower of Cupid's gain,
And sees strange things in Lovers Lane.
In a quaint old town a maid knew,
An artless. fair-haired maid was she:
BY those coral lips and those eyes of blue,
Sweet was the spell she cast DER me;
In the dreamy nights of summer weather
Roamed we through the lane together,
Hearts throbbing fondly the old refrain
To the song of the thrushes in Lovers
Lane.
Sweet those days of the long ago,
When we strayed through the leafy aisle.
Our hearts as light as the wanton flow
OF the music of brds-withOut guile.
Twas long ago; but the eyes of blue,
And the silken hair soft as the dew,
Are as sweet today when We twain
Roamed together Ia Lovers Lane.

SHE'S A TENDERLOIN BELLE
Tragic Career of the Once Fa-
nous Evelyn Granville
OFTEN IN THE POLICE COURT
Drink Has Made an Awful Wreck of the Beauty
Who Caused the Goodwin
Murder.

New York, April IA few days ago
one of the morning papers printed two
line paragraph which briefly stated that
Evelyn Granville had been discharged
from the alcoholic ward of Bellevue hos
pital as cured. 1t did not mean that she
had been cured of the alcoholic habit,
but that she had recovered from the eff
fects of a recent debauch. No one gave
the paragraph a second thought, and no
one paid any attention to the woman
who passed through the big iron gate
leading from the hospital grounds to
Twenty-sixth street. That particular
spot is not inviting, for the city's dead
lie in the morgue a few yards away, ana
there is always a steady stream of the
sick and the manned passing between
the street and the hospital
Evelyn Granville did not feel out of
place there. She probably did not have
cent to her name when she walked into
the dreary street yet ten years ago, even
five years ago, she spent hundreds where
other women spent dollars. She had
more diamonds than have most daugh-
tiers of millionaires She rode in her own
carriage in the park. She wore gowns
made in Paris, dined at Delmonico's and
drank champagne trapped to order She
was one of the sights in the afternoon
parades on Broadway. Many men or
fashion knew her and nodded pleasantly
to her as she swept along. Women Of
fashion knew of her, but they turned
their heads the other way when they
saw her in the park or o1 Broadway.
Now, if she appeared in her old haunts
with her bedraggled clothes, her rum
wrecked face and her broken down figure
the same men would curse her if she
spoke TO them, but the same women
might, in compassion, give her money.
The woman Granville knows this better
than any one else, SO she keeps away
from the scenes of her prosperity She

mother Is an outeast, living among the
negroes of the black belt In Thompson
street She is arrested on an average Of
every three months for intoxication.
To begin with, she was not a country
girl, unfamiliar with the dangerous brill
lianey of life in a great city. She was of
Irish birth, and was brought to New York
when a baby few months old. She is
40 now, and looks almost go. Six years
ago she could have passed for %. Her
real maiden name was Evelyn Post. I'm
til her 18th year she lived with her aunt,
Mrs Shaw, on West Forty-fifth street, in

Was Carefully Reared.
Her people were all strict Catholics.
and she was reared with great care. She
was educated in the parochial school, and
later was sent to the Convent of the Sa-
cred Heart in Mania ttanville, where, UNI
der the guidance of the good sisters, she
was given q careful education which
would have well fitted her to earn an hon
est living in later days.
But she had rare beauty of a doll-like
kind. Everyone who met her had some
thing to say about her pretty face, the
richness of her coloring, the brightness
of her eyes and the trimness of her figure.
So much adulatlon forced her to be vain,
and before she reached her 18th year she
almost lived on the pretty sayings of her
friends. She wanted fine clothes to show
off her beauty, and her aunt could not
afford them Then they disagreed and the
girl ran away.
She began as a book canvasser, and
the shrewd manager sent her into the
business district, where he knew her
great beauty would sell many books
But she occasionally met with rebuffs.
and that made her tired of the life. So
she determined to go on the stage, and
easily procured place in the Casino
chorus. She had nothing to do but to
look pretty and exhibit herself in tights.
This she did for time, but she wanted
to have as much attention from the au-
dience as the star. She had plenty of
admirers and sometimes she appeared
a lmost smothered in violets, her favorite
flower The star objected, the manager
warned her and she left the Casino in
q huff. She was then known as Evelyn
Green, butslater assumed the more pre-
tentious-name of Granville.
