Storm Cuts Down Dakota Crop Half
Million Bushels.

o
Million Bushels,
Thirty thousand acres of crops were de-
stroyed or greatly damaged by hail
storm in Codington County, S. D. The
scope of the storm was six miles wide
and about twenty-five long. Many farm
ers lost every acre Of grain. The list of
farmers will reach at least $50 in that
county. The same storm reached CLARK
and Grant Counties. The storm is the
worst in the history of the county, pass
ing through or touching eight townships

Ten days more and the farmers would
have been cutting the finest crop ever har-
vested in that section. Now the yield will
be nearly 100000 bushels less.

DR.. Byers, Eye Specials t.

The GOLD LEAF takes pleasure in
noting the presence in our town of
DR.. Byers, of Charlotte, who visits
Henderson professionally. DR.. Bvers
is specialist in the treatment of
diseases of the eye. and has the rep
utation of being one of the most
scientific men in his line that can be
found in this country. He comes
highly endorsed by leading ply
sicians, clergymen. lawyers and bus
mess men generally and is abundant
ly provided with voluntary testi-
monials and letters of introduction
to show that he is just what he
claims to be-master of his profess
sion.
While DR.. Byers is we'll known and
highly esteemed in the more central
portion of the State as an eminent
specialist in the treatment of eve
troubles and the correction of it's
errors Of refraction by the adjust
ment Of lenses. this is his first visit
to Henderson professionally. But
he is not an entire stranger to many
of our citizens and the GOLD LEAF
hopes his present engagement may
be the means of his establishing
professional relations which will
bring him among us permanently.
DIR. Byers will remain in Henderson
for short while only and those who
are suffering from impaired eyesight
will find it to their interest to call on
him. PerhaDS the most aim sad orOan
Of the body is that most delicate and
useful organ the eye. We abuse it
ourselves in thousand WAYS and
then when nature fails and cries out
for assistance we are not always as
particular about whom we consult in
the hope of obtaining relief as we
should be. But in this case we feel
sure no mistake would be made.
And in common with the most dis
tinguished among our professional
men who have examined DR.. Byers'
letters and endorsements and indi-
vidually and collectively endorse his
introductions, we commend the Doctor
as skilled and reliable specialist in
his line of profession.

AN IMPORTANT EVENT.
The Chapel at the County Home Dedi-
Gated.

Miss Emma Freedom kindly fur
nishes the GOLD LEAF with the fol-
lowing report of the dedication exer-
cises of the Chapel at the Home for
the Aged and Intirm Sunday after
noon:
Those that took advantage of the
opportunity to be present at the
County Home" Sunday afternoon
must have been surprised when DR..
Huffman began by saying: I'VE are
now going to do for the first time in
North Carolina that which has never
been done before-dedicate a chapel
to our aged and intirm.' He spoke
of the great and grand privilege it
| was, for us to carry on the work
among the needy that was begun by
our Saviour nineteen hundred years
ago, and the standing monuments of
the same we have here in our own
State in Orphan Asylums-the grand
est istitution, in this line of work.
To show the people the progress
attained he went back 10 the time
when Christ in preaching the true
doctrine preached in boats and on
the mountains with nothing but the
heavens above him. Later, in our
our own county where there was no
church, men have builded arbors as
protection from the sun thereby
preaching the gospel, saving souls,
and building churches for worship
of God; and now one of the grandest
pieces of Christ's work is being COM
pleted this afternoon.
After most interesting sermon
he said, 1T is now my privilege to
dedicate this house, the platform on
which / stand, the desk from which l
read, the benches on which you are
seated all being the gift to God
from Gods own people. 1t is my
privilege andpleasure to dedicate this
house to God for the many grand
blessings we have received.'
The dedication prayer was offered
by Rev. j. S. Williams. Rev. A. X.
Shaw, who conducted the services,
then said he regretted very much
the absence of the County Com
missioners to whom they were so
much indebted for their assistance
and as a matter of form turned the
building over to the County with the
| conditions
lst. That it be kept in good re-
pair.
End. That the building is used
expressly for purposes such as stated
this aftarooon Go hba bCchoo1 opd
for the worship of God.
Il am sure they will do this>" he
said, land with these conditions we
| now turn over this building to them.
[ regret that every one who con-
| tributed to this building and struct-
ure is not present this afternoon"
A nice oak desk was presented by
Miss Hattie Grow, to which attention
was called bV Mr. Shaw The chanel
