The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1896-05-14

We have been asked to ''call names"
IN speaking about the conduct of some
young men at Burwell Hall last Thurs
day night. But the G OLD LEAF does
not do things that way We are quite
sure they are ashamed of it and if they
Will not tell Oh themselves certainly we

The pulpits of the thirty-eight
churches, Of all denominations, in
Chattanooga, Tenn, were filled last
Sunday by dvines attending the
Southern Baptist convention in that
city. Among the list of assignments
we notice the name Of Rev. j. w. Mil
lard, of Henderson, who preached in
the Second Presbyterian church.
Mr.. G. w. Williams, at Thomson 8
store, got his arm caught in the eleva-
tor Saturday afternoon and came very
near meeting with serious accident.
AS 1T was he escaped with few bruises
and slight flesh wound, but it was a
close shaves To see the place he got
into it seems impossible that he should
have escaped without his arm being
badly crushed and mangled.
Miss Lizzie Lewis left yesterday for
Carthage, which place she will make
her home. She went in response to
urgent solicitations from her brother
Mr.. Charles Lewis, whose extensive
interests in the lumber business keep
him away from home so much that he
wanted Miss Lizzie to be companion
TO his wife. The young lady's friends
regret her departure from Henderson.
The instrument for our legal friend
Andrew J. Harris has not been made
yet. He says a telephone may do very
well some times when there is new
baby in the house, but if it's boy,
nothing is quite so satisfactory as see
ing for ones self how much the young
stcr ''grOws like" his papa. And now
we understand why Andrew has been
at home so much since Monday morn
ing.
Due sanitary precautions should be
taken before hot weather if the public
health is to be preserved. DR.. Judd,
Public Health Officer, calls upon all
persons IN town to clean up their
premises and use lime, copperas and
other disinfectants plentifully. This
is matter Of such grave Importance
that attention cannot be called to it
too often. And yet, it would seem
that it should not be necessary to do so
at all. Eut some people need to be
reminded repeatedly even Of duty be-
fore performing it.

Mr.. J. A. Thomas, of the Louisburg
Times, shed the beaming rays of his
genial countenance upon us Tuesday
morning dispelling the gloom of our
dismal den like vanishing nickels from
the editors pocket when pay day
comes. BY the way, friend Thomas
has added power press to the equip
ment of his office, which serves the
double purpose of facilitating the print
ing OF his paper and enhancing the
neat appearance Of the same. The
next move he tells us will be to increase
the size of his sheet to s columns. Ev-
licences of prosperity on the part of our
contemporary of which no one is more
pleased to note than ourself.
