Woods Fall Catalogue.

With the compliments of L. w.
Wood 4 Sons, seedsmen, Richmond,
Va, we have a copy of their valuable
fall catalogue of seeds and flowers.
Like others of the publications of
this we'll known and successful house,
the work in question is of especial
value to florists, truck growers,
farmers and flower and market gar
deners. 1t gives full descriptions
and prices of all Towering bulbs for
fall planting, with directions for their
culture; also a selected list of season
able vegetable and field seeds, in
Guiding grass, clover, seed grain and
forage plants, which have proven
especially desirable for the South.
Special attention is called to the list
of their grass and clover seed mix
lures for all soils and purposes, which
have given such wide satisfaction
throughout the Southern States.
The Messrs. Wood are seed grow
ers of long established reputation
and the concern is one of the largest
in this country. To speak in detail
of their catalogue as its merits sug-
gest would draw too heavily upon
our space. and we advise our readers
to get it and see for themselves. 1t
will be sent free to any reader Of the
GOLD LEAF upon application to I.

THE GRADED SCHOOL.
Report of the Committee and Sub
sequent Action of the Citizens
Meeting Thursday Afternoon.

As stated in the GOLD LEAF last
week the Graded School is an assured
fact
the character of the men to whose
care the enterprise has been commit
ted is sufficient guarantee.
The committee appointed at n
previous meeting to solicit subscrip-
tions, etc, reported s., 121.5o pledged.
There are vet large number of
persons who have not been seen and
from whom ii is expected that a
liberal donation will be secured.
The committee recommended the
purchase of lot and the erection of
suitable building or the purchase of
one that would serve the purpose
temporarily, in preference to renting
and fixing up house. This was
adopted.
The election of trustees from each
of the wards, the three school COM
mitteemen to be included in this
number, and one from the country
was recommended. The word ward"
being stricken out this clause of the
committees report was adopted.
A committee of 5. DR.. J. ID. Huf-
ham, chairman. DR.. +. r. Harris, d.
Y. Cooper, S. Watkins and W. W.
Rowland, was appointed to name a
board of trustees and report back to
the meeting at once. The committee
retired and after brief conference
reported as follows: DR.. Hufham,
chairman, d. Y. Cooper, J. b. Owen,
DR.. F. X. Harris, Capt. T. j. Elmore,
W. f. Gary, Geo. A. Rose, &. A.
Lewis, j. L. Currin. The three gen.
tlemen last named are the school
committeeman, while Mr.. Gary is
named as the member from the eoun-
try. The report was unanimously
adopted amid much enthusiasm each
name being heartily applauded as it
was called.
The trustees were instructed to 90
to work at once, make arrangements
for suitable building and commence
the school as earl y as possible. They
are empowered to elect teachers, pro-
cure competent superintendent and
do everything connected with the
school as they would a private cor
poration of their own.
A vote Of thanks was rendered the
soliciting committee and those who
had contributed or in any way helped
to forward the movement for Graded
School.
DR.. Hufham made few happy re-
marks appropriate to the occasion,
= I,% L>~ hol: T.,
was the best place and Henderson
people the best people in the world he
wanted it to have the best Graded
School-one that the town shall be
proud of-and one that will be a
credit to the whole United States, he
added in conclusion.
Mr.. Cooper spoke in behalf of the
trustees and pledged their best efforts
to make the school successful
that the best interests of the town re-
quire or the most ardent friends of
education could wish for. He called
a meeting of the trustees for o'clock
Friday afternoon at his office, and as
showing the interest these gentlemen
feel in the matter and the earnest and
vigorous manner in which they are
going about the work contded to
them it is worthy of note that every
member was present.
Various committees were appointed
and the work assigned or parceled
out under different departments
among themselves, these sub-com-
mittees to report at a future meeting
of the board.
Thus does Henderson 90 merrily
marching onward.

Officers Elected.

At meeting of the Vance Guards
held at their armory Monday night
the following officers were elected to
fill vacancies:
Captain, First Lieutenant j. 5.
Poythress.
First eutenant-Second Lieu
tenant W. X. Sturges.
Second Lieotenant-Third Sergeant
A. S. Rem.
There was very full attendance
and the interest shown in the election
bespoke the keen appreciation the
individual members have for the
welfare of the company.
General satisfaction is felt over the
result. Captain Poythress will make a
capable and conscientious command
ing officer we may not doubt, as
will the other two gentlemen who
have received promotion at the hands
of their fellow soldiers.
A vote of thanks was given Messrs.
W. f. Gary and J. l.. Currin for the
excellent and satisfactory service
rendered by them as the company's
caterers during the State encamp-
ment. 1t was the unanimous verdict
of every member that never on any
like occasion have they Jared better
than they did at Morehead. They
had more to eat. of better quality.
and at less cost, for all of which they
freely acknowledge their Indebtedness
to Messrs. Gary and Currin and ex-
press their profoundest appreciation
and most grateful thanks therefor.

Death of hrs. James /. Moore.

The many friends of Ex-Sheriff
James l. Moore in Granville will re-
ceive with sorrow the announcement
Of the death of the companion of his
bosom, which occurred at his home
near Franklinton on Monday at /
o'clock. She had reached the 10th
mile post in life's journey and now
quietly sleeps beneath the sod to
await the resurrection morn. She
was a true and faithful wife, mother,
friend and neighbor, and took pleas
ure in doing good, as she was num-
bered among the Christian women OF
her community. Mrs. Moore was
the sister of Mrs. Sallie Garner, of
the Grissom section. and to her and
the bereaved family we extend our
coincidence in the great loss they have
been called upon to sustain.-ONford

WADE II. CHEEK.
Death of this Promising Young Ma

MIR. Wade H. Cheek, whose sick
ness has been noted from time to
time for several months, died at his
home in this place at 8 O'Clock yes
terday morning.
Few deaths have occurred in this
community under sadder circum-
stances. The deceased was an un-
usually bright and promising boy
and just as he was stepping out upon
the threshold of mans estate and
entering upon a career which seemed
full of hope and success to him in his
chosen field of effort disease fastened
itself upon him. And ere he had
scarcely started the ascent of life's
ladder he is cut down.
Wade Hampton, fourth son of
General William H. and Mrs Alice
Jones Cheek, was just % years old
this month. Twice before within the
past few years have an idolizing ia
ther and mother and devoted broth
ers and sisters been called upon to
stand by the cold and pulseless form
of dutiful and affectionate son and
loving brother.
Bright, talented. manly young men,
OF handsome address and fine bust
ness capacity. Will. Fritz and Wade
Cheek were the pride of their parents
and the objects of admiration and
esteem from all who knew them.
The subject of this article was a
telegraph operator by profession.
He was an expert in his line and was
of 4 lo
Union office here. He had held posi-
tions with the Seaboard Air Line and
elsewhere, but with the close of the
summer season last year when he
was at Wrightsville he was able to do
but little work afterward.
In February he went to Arizona
hoping the climate might in some
measure at least restore his rapidly
wasting health and strength. Not
receiving the benefit anticipated after
sufficient stay to satisfy him MIR.
Cheek returned home and has since
been confined to the house and for
most part to his bed. He was con-
scious of his condition and much as
he desired to live he was resigned to
the will of the Father who ''doeth all
things WE'LL" and with calm and
patient spirit he approached the end
as one whose hope is fixed upon bet
ter things in the life that is TO come.
The night before he died, his
father sitting by the bedside, Wade
asked him if he thought he would
live through the night. The answer
was that possibly he would, but he
was very weak and the end might
come at any moment. TO this with
feeble breath and labored effort the
dying man replied that he had tried
to live a good life, and the sins COM
mitted by him he had repented Of;
that he was not afraid to die and was
ready to meet the summons when
ever it should come. And so he
passed away.
The funeral will be held from the
Episcopal church at 5 o'clock this
afternoon

The Order of Columbus.

Messrs. H. B. Crosland and f.
Smith, of Raleigh, who have been in
town several days for the purpose of
instituting a council of the Order of
Columbus, tell us they have met with
encouraging success. They were
joined this week by Mr.. w. b. Wells,
district deputy, and the indications
are that large membership will be
secured among some of our leading
citizens and representative business
men. The Order of Columbus is a
beneficial and fraternal organization,
incorporated under the laws of the
State of Maryland, and managed
under the supervision of the State In
surance Department. l pays death,
sick and disability benefits for men
and women, and the rates of in
surance are very reasonable. 1t is
claimed for the Order of Columbus
that it has protited by the experience
of other organizations of similar
nature and has put into operation
Improvements in plans and methods
which the experience of over a
quarter of century have shown to
be necessary to safety and per-
petuity, all Objectionable features of
other fraternal orders having been
eliminated.

We congratulate Henderson upon
her new move in the line of educa-

GOLD LEAF has been agitating the
establishment of a graded school in
that place. The school is now an
assured fact-the citizens having
subscribed the necessary amount re-
4uired, and building will be secured
TOR temporary use, the school to be
opened for the fall session. In this
decision Henderson has put herself
IN line with her growing sister towns,
and she will soon see the benefits of
this system of schools. We also

Distressing Affair.

A sad case of homicide occurred on
the plantation of Mr.. Drury Marrow,
in the WILLIAMSBURG neighborhood,
last week. From what we can gather
the particulars are about these:
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Fred Mar
row had a difficulty with negro
woman named Fanny Brame. He
struck her two or three times with his
fist when she seized base ball bat
and hit him with it. He get this from
her and with it dealt the woman a
blow on the head which fractured
the skull. About 8 O'Clock Monday
morning she died.
K. j. Southerland, special. coroner,
went out Tuesday and held an in
quest. DR.. Goode Cheatham con-
Quoted the post mortem examination.
Messrs. A. j. Harris and T. NJ. Pitt
man represented the State in their
legal capacity and Mr.. L. L. Hicks
the defense.
A warrant was sworn out against
Marrow but when the officer went to
serve it he could not be found.
1t is 4 most unfortunate and la
mentablc affair, distressing alike to
parties interested and to the COM

Cleaning Silver.

Instead OF securing and rubbing each
piece of silver separately, the whole SER
vice can be cleaned in few minutes as
effectively After each meal the silver
should be put in pan (kept especially
for the purpose,) and covered with luke
warm water, to which teaspoonfull of
Gold Dust Washing Powder is added;
set the pan on the range until the water
gets to boiling point, then lift out each
piece with a wire spoon and lay on soft
linen cloth, wiping them quickly with a
chamois skin. The pieces SO cleaned will
be highly polished and look like new.
