Well Informed but Little Concerned.
\ case Of small pox has developed
in this community. While this is
true there is no cause for alarm. and
| among the well informed there is not
the least Apprehension Of its spreading
The case is that of 4 young white
man. Mr.. George Wycotf. who lives
outside the corporate limits of the
| town. He visited in the country
some weeks ago and came in contact
with 4 small poN patient not knowing
at the time the nature of the mans
sickness. When the case was properly
diagnosed Mr.. Wvcotf was quarantined
| at home and every necessary precau-
| ton taken to guard against an out
break of the disease in case of his
contracting same. The time limit
expiring he was released and few
days later he was taken sick. Sun
day the physicians in charge pro-
nounced it small po1. The case has
been isolated and the house quaran-
| tined.
While there is accessibility of other
cases developing more SO of course
than if the small poN had not been
introduced in the communicates
is little probability of such a thing
| and absolutely no cause exists for
| fear on the part of our home folks or
those who may wish to come to Hen
derson on business or pleasure. This
| is not our opinion alone but the opin-
| ion Of well informed physicians and
| the State expert who was here this
week. And if they had said to the
contrary the GOLD LEAF would have
been honest enough with its readers
to state the situation plainly and tell
them the truth. And this we propose
to do without equivocation believing
it is best that the truth be known and
the people protected although bust
ness should suffer in consequence.
But until there is occasion for it
(and we solemnly promise to conceal
no material fact touching the element
of danger) don't get excited and don't
talk or act so as to excite others. The
town authorities have taken prompt
| action to enforce compulsory vaccina
ton, the place where the case is loca
ted is strictly guarded, the patient is
being properly treated and is doing
well, and those who ought to know
say they do not apprehend any further
trouble

The r1eetings Closed.

The series of revival meetings at
the Presbyterian church, noted last
week, closed with Tuesday night $
service. DR.. Payne preached some
excellent sermons to large and atten-
tive congregations. Several persons
made profession of faith in the Savior
and church members were blessed BY
the meeting. Persons of all denomi-
nations took part, and this spirit OF
perfect harmony and brotherly love
was subject of pleasant comment. i.
After the sermon Tuesday night DR..
Payne made some fitting remarks eN-
pressive of his appreciation of the kind
and courteous attention given him by
the congregation, and declared it was
always a pleasure to him to preach to
Henderson people. He spoke especi-
ally of the cordial relations existing
between the various branches of the
church in this town and paid merited
tribute to the zeal and earnestness,
the love and fidelity of the different
pastors.
DR.. Payne was already greatly loved
here and he made many new friends
who will give him cordial welcome
whenever he may visit Henderson
again in future. He left for his home
in Washington, n. c., Wednesday
afternoon, followed by the prayers
and good wishes of all whose privilege
it is to know him or whose pleasure
it was to hear him preach.
