THE VANCE GUARDS
Have an Oyster Superb Very En-
joyable Occasion.

The Vance Guards had a Thanks
giving oyster supper Thursday night.
10 say 1t was one of the most pleas
ant and successful of the many de-
lightful events of like nature which
the Company has participated in is
but mildly expressing it. The tables,
laid in regular banquet style, extend
ell from one side to the other of the
spacious armory hall, and were laden
with bountiful supply of good
things to eat-breads, meats, pickles,
olives, sandwiches, celery, oysters,
crackers, coffee, ETC., and never was
a meal more heartily enjoyed.
The cooking was we'll done. The
oysters were fine and served in ex-
cellent style. Better coffee was never
brewed, and if anything was lacking
in quantity or quality it has not been
suggested at the present writing. 1t
was an informal affair, gotten up for
the especial benefit of the members
themselves and there were but few
outside guests. The "boys'' thor
oughly enjoyed the occasion and their
only regret was that they could not
have all their friends with them.
Those who had the supper in
charge-the managers, caterers and
cooks-deserve much credit for the
success they made of it and but for
the fact that where all performed
their part so well and cheerfully that

LEAF would like to individualize.
But the task is too great-we'd have
to publish nearly the entire roster of
the Company.
Previous to the supper there was
business meeting of the Guards for
the purpose of electing officers. All
the old officers were unanimously re-
elected, as follows: Captain, Pryce
L. Jones; First Lieutenant, Charles j.
Smith; Second Lieutenant, James S.
Poythress; Secretary, Henry Buchan;
Treasurer, Geo. E. Perry. All good
men and true-capable and efficient
officers-who will serve the best in
terests of the Company in future as
they have in the past.
The Vance Guards is an organiza-
ton of which the people of Hender-
son and Vance county have cause to
feel special pride in. 1t is composed
OF some of our best young men, from
both town and country, and did the
public know the personal sacrifices
the members are frequently called
upon to make their efforts would be
appreciated more highly.
Long life and success to the Vance

Personal.
Our former young tOWnsman and
popular citizen Sergeant John S. Z.
Young, of the 18th United States In
fantry, Irregular army, gave his
friends an agreeable surprise Thurs
day night by visiting Henderson. He
was off on ten days furlough and
as he had other points to make and
important business to attend to dur
ing that time, his stay here was nee
essariiy short. Sergeant Young has
but recently returned with his regi-
ment from Cuba. He is now station
ed at Jefferson Barracks, near St.
Louis, Mo, having gone from Fort
Niobrara, Nebraska, at the outbreak
of the war with Spain.
Sergeant Young gives some inter
esting accounts of his experiences in
Cuba, and incidents connected with
the war, and the GOLD LEAF has it
from other sources that he himself
did good service in the part played
in that little drama by Uncle Sans
brave boys. There is talk of promo
ton for him and the friends and ad-
mirers of the gallant and capable
young soldier sincerely hope he may
get it. He is ranking non-commis-
stoned officer of his regiment, and
his commission as lieutenant would
be fit recognition of soldierly worth
and merit.

Farming That Pays.

We hear it said frequently that
farming does not pay. That depends
upon the way farming is carried on.
nor does the policy of cultivating
two or three acres of land to get
what one acre should be made to pro-
duce. But farming such as that re-
ported by j. w. Beck pays even at
the prevailing low prices of cotton.
He tells us that on acres of land
this year he made 10 bales of cotton
averaging $50 pounds each. Mr..
Beck is not a practical farmer either.
That is to say, farming is not his bus
mess, but man who makes a pro-
nounced success at any business
must be practical man in that line
whether he be ''professional'' or
not.
The GOLD LEAF would like to have
reports from other farmers of the
county as to successful yields they
may have had of cotton, corn, tobac-
co, wheat, potatoes-anything, in
fact, that would be of interest to
others. Also the method of cultiva-
ton, quantity and kind of fertilizer
used, &c.
