when she inquired, "Who was dead,
papa:' NO one" papa replied. 'only

In MemOriam.

Mrs. Leila Whitaker Harris, wife of
Rev. W. l.. Harris, after Il prOtracted ILL
ness and at times great suffering, passed
peacefully away at Enfield, y. e.. Tues
day night, April 9th, 1897. For some
time she had been in feeble health, but
for the last year or so the decline had
been more rapid When the best posi-
BILE treatment and nursing at home had
failed to cure, her husband carried
her to the hospital at Richmond. 1t
was soon found that nothing more
than temporary relief could be expected.
An effort was made to carry her to her
mothers home; but, being unable to
make the Journey out from the station
a distance of six miles, she fingered a
few days in Enfield and then the end
came. The interment was at Whitaker S
Chapel
1t would be impossible to tell all OF her
noble traits and good deeds. We're the
writer to express one half OF what he
feels and knows of her Christian hOspi-
tality and kindness. the cold hearted,
unsympathizing world would think it
too much praise of one who has gone.
The Christ that was in her showed Him.
self in her devotion to and self-sacrificing
for the work to which her husband is
called, urging him at times, when he
would have remained with her, to to go
fill his appointments, while she remained
at home and suffered and prayed for
him in the work. The Christ-Iife was
also manifest in her patient endurance
in afliction; in resigning herself, her two
little girls, and her husband to the will
of the Most High; in fearless composnre
as she met the last enemy; in her peace
full, hopeful, even joyful end.
They having at one time lived in Hen
derson, also in kittrcll and Dabney,
there is in this community host OF
sympathizing friends. The mOtherless
children are too young to realize their
loss. The bereaved husband sorrows,
but not as one who has no hope. HIS
hope is in the fact that CHOW is Christ
risen from the dead, and become the
first fruits OF them that slept" He also
realizes that behind the dark, almost
black, cloud that now hangs about him,
the Father hides a smiling face.

Accident to a Young Lady.

fracture of one of her limbs and her
back was hurt also. The young lady
was brought home and at last accounts

Commentator that We Appreciate.

The GOLD LEAF acknow edges the
very high compliment publicly paid il,
by Pastor McCullen during the course
OF his sermon at the Methodist Episco-
pal church Sunday morning. and makes
Its profound obeisance for the same.
In speaking Of the sensational and
banetul literature too frequently met
with not only in ''yellow back" novels,
but IN many Of the newspapers Of the
present day, he said that Henderson
was to be congratulated upon the char
acter OF It's local paper-that he had
never seen its pages marred by the
publication Of anything that could be
objected to on the score Of impurity.
As contrasted with many papers, he
said, the clean character Of the GOLD
LEAF was really refreshing, and it was
to be commended for its purity and
sound morals.
This and more of like nature Mr..
McCullen gave expression to because
at seemed to fit in, and we make no
attempt to conceal our high apprecia-
ton of his kind and partial reference.
II 1t be true that''we cannot keep our
minds pure if we allow them to be sui
lied by detailed accounts of crime and
sln,' we hold that it is as important
that newspapers be clean and decent
as the books we read. Therefore, the
GOLD LEAF does not elect to lay this
kind Of news before its readers, pre-
terrlng to be worthy Of such common
datlOn as its friend saw fit to bestOw
upon it even if it is less lively and up
to-date-as such things 90.

and an earnest, cOnsecrated Christian
AS Miss Leila Whitaker, of Halifax,
she was widely known and greatly
loved for her modest virtues and wom-
anly worth, and besides large family
connection there are many sincere
friends who will mourn her untimely
death. \ truly good woman has passed
to her reward. One who knew her
well pays a brief but merited tribute to

The Bishop's Answer.

The Atlanta orstitution says
that Methodist bishop was preach
ing sermon en- the vanity of dress
and incidentally alluded to people
who wore velvet and gold orna-
ments. After the sermon a distin-
guished member of his conference
approached him and said:
Now, bishop, know you were
striking at me, for I have velvet
vest and heavy watch chainl"
The bishop smiled, passed his
hand over the vest, touched the
chain and then said, with a merry
twinkle in his eye:
No, really, Brother B., for the
vest you wear is only cotton velvet,
and am half persuaded that your
watch chain is brass!,.'

Simplicity Brings Life's Best Pleasures.


For poor and rich alike the high
est pleasure and utility in life will
come from simplifying it," writes
Droch in The Ladies' Home Jour-
nal 1.-The contentment that can
only be had from nerves that are
not overstrained is to be found by
reducing your daily life to it's sim
plest terms. This applies with equal
force to the hard working man or
woman with small income, or to the
rich who are numbered with many
cares. Poverty has been made just
as complex as riches by the many
things that ill advised teachers have
taught poverty to expect that it
ought to accomplish. What both
must learn, for the best results in
their own lives, is not how little can
be had for great deal of money,
but how much of real and perma-
nent value can be secured for little
money. That is the highest econ
omy, and it cannot be taught. 1t
must be learned by experience, and
you cannot begin it at better time
than when seeking a vacation.

Effect of Injuries to Plants.

According to an English author

which exactly corresponds to what
we term fever. The rate Of respira-

of the parts affected is considerably
raised. The disturbance has its pc
Rod of increase, reaches a climax
and subsidies as does ordinary fever.
Indeed the increase in temperature
is quite as great as if not greater
than in animals. This opens wide

sion, and one which will be followed
