Ralph Bingham.
This versatile and gifted young
artist filled his engagement at Cooper
Opera House Monday night. TO say
that he came up to public expecta-
ton fully sustaining the reputation
that had preceded him in the way of
t1attering press notices and compli-
mentary remarks by those whose
pleasure it had been to see and hear
him elsewhere, but half expresses it.
Mr.. Bingham's work was Of high
order. 1t is difficult to say in what
he excels, as violinist, impersonator,
recitationist or humorist. He is
good in every role he essays. When
he does not have his audience con-
vulsed with laughter they are filled
with ecstacy at his perfect mastery
and marvellous manipulation of the
violin, pleased with his vigorous and
skillful performances on the piano,
or charmed with his gifts of elocution
and splendid powers of mimicry.
1t is to be regretted that the
audience was not larger. Mr.. Bing-
ham merited much better house.
But more enthusiastic and apprec-
iative audience could not have been
wished for. The ladies under whose
auspices Mr.. Bingham appeared have
cause to feel perfect satisfaction on
the score of merit and artistic nature
of the entertainment, and if the
gifted young entertainer shall visit
Henderson in future he may be as
sured of cordial reception and a
fuller house next time.

MAKING A PAPER READABLE.
How the People May Aid the Edito'
to This End.

How the People May Aid the Edito,
to This End.
We want all our friends to con
slider themselves associate editors
and reporters of the GOLD LEAF. We
want to make this better and more
readable paper and they can help u:
to do SO if they will.
The people of every community
both in town and country. can be OF
great service to the editor and help
him materially in publishing a more
valuable and interesting paper. and
with little time and trouble on their
part. Do YOU ask in what way? By
furnishing him with items of news
and the contribution of timely and
practical articles for publication.
For instance, when persons leave
town, or return, or have friends visit
ing them, they should in some man,
ner apprise the newspaper of the
fact. The telephone is in a news
paper office for that purpose, or the
news can be sent by postal card or
letter.
A great many people have an un-
natural modesty about doing this,
but they need not have. for the editor
is glad to receive anything suitable
for publication that is really news.
He cannot find out what is going on
without some source of Information.
His power Of intuition may be ever so
keen and we'll developed but he must
needs be told the news before he can
form him, whether due to want OF
thought or Indifference is the reason
many personal items and other minor
matters fail to appear in the paper.
The fact is the editor would greatly
appreciate it if informed of every
item or occurrence of local or general
interest which comes under the
notice Of friends Of the paper. Social
and personal news is always inter-
esting and newspaper wants to get
it. Another point: In case of mar
riage or death, the newspaper should
be promptly notified, giving all the
facts, dates, ETC., from which a suit
able notice may be written. But
alas! how many people ever do it?
The editor is left to hustle around
and gather information the best he
can and then if wrong initial or
date is used or the article is not
exactly what some body thinks it
should be he is censured for the sin of
omission. But If there is any merit
in the act Of commission-that is to
say If he does anything particularly
