Stephen A. Burroughs.

Rev. VIM. Porter writes for Our
Church Record the following sketch of
Mr.. Stephen A. Burroughs, whose
last week:
In his social life, Bro burroughs was
kind and affable, and We have heard Of
no one who ever visited him and his kind
family, who did not want to go again.
The kindly manner in which his doors
were flung open to his friends could but
make one feel that he was in the home of
large hearted man. Although Bro.
Burroughs was not a very great talker
yet there was something in his manners
and in the few words he said that made
one feel quite at ease, and at home.
In his business he was honest and gen.
erous. The writer has shared his gen
crosby in good many ways during his
acquaintance with him.
In his religion, after he had joined the
church, he was simple and trustful, striv-
ing to be right. Bro. Burroughs spent
most of his time out of the thurch, only
joining about the middle of October last
But the writer will remember with pleas
ure the October day, when, with muddy
roads and the rain falling in a thick
| mist, he met Bev. I. NJ. johnson and
Bro. Geo. B. Harris, of Henderson, ut
the home of Bro. Burroughs, when Bro.
johnson baptized him. Bro. Burroughs
| talked very encouragingy about his re.
| ligion, and informed us that he had been
| trying to live Christian for about three
| years. Later conversations with hin
showed that he was still hopefully trust
ing in Jesus. He frequently spoke Of
death, and said he was willing to die, il
| it was the Lords will. The funeral serv
ices were conducted at Harris Chapel on
| Sunday afternoon by the writer, aftel
which the Masonic Fraternity laid his
remains in the cemetery beside his wifi
who preceded him about three years.

Explanatory.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Will you kindly
insert in one OF the cteanest papers pub
lished in North Carolina, the following
explanation?
Some weeks ago number OF our resi-
dent ministers made application to the
Board of County Commissioners for an
appropriation of $500 to be supple
mented by private subscriptions for the
purpose OF erecting a chapel at the
Home for the Aged and Intirm." The
appropriation was granted. While can
vassing the town for subscriptions, a
wide-awake business man stated that he
would cheerfully contribute to the cause,
and also stated that, in his Judgment,
the county ought to build the chapel.
He sgnified his Willingness to appear be-
fore the Board Of County Commissioners
and ask for an additional appropriation
of 5000. On the first Monday, inst, a
number of business men with some of the
pastors of the town appeared before the
Board and secured the additional ap-
preparation of 5000. The following
proposition was made to the Board:
That if the county would erect the
chapel, the amounts raised by private
subscriptions would be used in ceiling,
seating and painting the building. Mr..
Robert BUM, OF Henderson. has the
contract, and the chapel is now in pro-
cess of erection.
AS acting treasurer appointed by our
Pastors Union, | desireFto express our
grateful appreciation IF the prompt,
generous response made to this cause
by the Board of County Commissioners
and friends in the town and vicinity.
SO far as my information extends
Vance is the first county in the State to
erect Il house of worship for its poor.
Should not this movement commend
Itself to the other counties in the State!
Perhaps it should be added, that the
small building donated by the NJ. E
church, South, has been sold and the pro-
ceeds cIassed with the private subscrip
ton fund.

RULES FOR CANDY MAKING.
Mrs. Rorer's Receipt for Home Made
Christmas CONNECTIONS.

Christmas CONNECTIONS.
Mrs S. T. Rorer tells how to make
candies at home for the holidays in the
Christmas Ladies' Home Journal, and
gives the following rules, which insure
the success Of the work: Never stir
the sugar after dissolved. Wipe down
constantly The granules forming on the
side Of the saucepan. Do not shake
nor move the saucepan while the syrup
is boiling. AS soon as the sugar be-
gins to boil watch it carefully, having
in your hand a bowl of ice water, so
that you may try the syrup almost
constantly. ave everyth ing 10 readi-
ness before beginning. If the sugar
grains use for old fashioned cream
candy or sugar for taffy. 1t cannot be
used for fondant. Use only the best
granulated sugar for boiling, and con-
! fectioners' XXX for kneading If your
fondant grains without apparent cause
you may have boiled it little too
long. A few drops of lemon juice or a
little cream of tartar will prevent this.
| Foudant is the soft mixture which
forms both the inside of the French
| candies and the material in which they
| are dipped, aud it is to obtain this that
the sugar is boiled.
After the sugar has reached the
soft ball. semi-hard condition. it
must be poured carefully into large
meat plate or on marble slab. Do
not scrape the sBuce or you will granu-
late the syrup. Make your tondant
| one day and make it up in candy the
| next. Never melt fondant by pfac-
ing the saucepan Immediately on the
stove. Prevent the danger of scorch-
ing by standing the pan containing it
III basin of water. If the melted
fondant is too thick add water most
cautiously, drop at time. \ half
teaspoontul more than necessary will
ruin the whole. To cool candy place
it in a dry cool place. TO keep candy
put it between layers of waXed paper
in tin boxes. If the day is bright and
clear the sugar loses its sickness
quickly, therefore select fine day for
candy making.
Improper aud deficient care of the scalp
will cause graynesS OF the hair and bald
ness. Escape both by the use Of that reli-
able specific, Halls Hair Remover.

left Tuesday for Asheville to partici-

Vance monument, the Ger emory being
under the auspices Of the Grand Lodge.
1t is fitting that the county which has
the honor to bear the name of the great
Tribune of his people should be repre-

one or truer Mason could not have
been selected than Jack Currin. He
will return Friday.
