Happy Family Gathering.

Unknown to Mr.. and Mrs. X. w.

was 4 delightful occasion to all con-

few parents to enjoy.
The GOLD LEAF unites with the
many friends of Nh and Mrs. Cog
hill in felicitating them upon the
suspicious occasion of celebrating
their 34th marriage anniversary, and

RARE TREAT AHEAD.
Henry Blount, The "Apostle of Sum
shine" Coming-W;H Lecture at
Cooper Opera House Friday Even
ing, Aug. 2Sth.

Ing, Aug. 25th.
1t is with great pleasure that we
announce the coming of that peer
less lecturer and accomplished gen
tleman Henry Blount
He has been engaged to lecture at
Cooper Opera House Friday night.
Aug. 25th, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and our people are
to be felicitated upon the rich treat
in store for them.
Mr.. Blount stands in class to HIM
self, in the very forefront of lectur-
ers. He is gifted beyond the aver
age platform speaker in that he
possesses greater versatility and is
accomplished in more ways. He is a
scholar, a rhetorician. an actor,
mimic and humorist all in one.
There is a charm. a fragrance. a
brillance and beauty about Henry
Blount's lectures that is found in
few other platform entertainers. He
is recognized as the ''Apostle of Sun
shine" but aside from being dealer
in fun and manufacturer of laughter
his lectures possess the merit of
literary finish and dramatic flavor.
Mr.. Blount will be heard here in
his celebrated monologue "Chow-
Chow" The name readily suggests
the nature of the production which
is said to be one of his best. 1t is the
essence of eloquence, full of Jokes,
sparkling with wit and humor and
throbbing with pathos.
Do not fail to hear him.

Distinguished Foreign Visitors.

Mr. j. p. Taylor had as guests for
few days last week three Japanese
gentlemen, two of them being promi-
nent officials of the japanese Govern
ment. They were Messrs. Il. Sasaki
and X. Hashimoto, of Toxic, and
Mr.. Y. Matsumoto, a student of
Columbia University, N. Y, who was
travelling with them as interpreter.
Their object was to investigate and
study the agriculture and finances OF
the country and report on same. OF
the agricultural products they were
especially interested in tobacco, its
cultivation, the methods of curing,
modes of handling, &c. The japanese
Government is turning its attention
to the importation of American to-
bacco. Hence it's interest in this
direction.
Mr.. Taylor took the gentlemen out
in the country to see the tobacco
growing and being cured in the
| barns, showed them through some
of the big establishments here devot-
ed to this branch and otherwise
proved himself the thoughtful and
| agreeable host that he is.
The gentlemen left well pleased
with their visit to Henderson and
much impressed what they saw and
| learned.

"Suffer Little Children"

Grief-stricken and heart-crushed
Mr.. and Mrs. Okey Goodrich mourn
the loss of 4 cherished little one the
sunshine of whose life had beamed
upon them for but brief season.
Ella Bernard, aged four months
and twenty-three days, died Sunday
night about half past twelve O'Clock.
All that medical skill could devise or
loving hands could do to stay the
progress of disease availed not and
the death angel came and bore the

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. II:
Fletcher. This has been necessitated by
pirates counterfeiting the Castoria trade
mark. This counterfeiting is crime not
only against the proprietors of Castoria,
but against the growing generation.
All persons should be careful to see that
Castoria bears the signature OF Chas. II.
Fletcher, if they would guard the health
of their children. Parents and mothers,
in particular, ought to carefully examine
the Castoria advertisements which have
been appearing in this paper, and to re-
member that the wrapper OF every bot
tie of genuine Castoria bears the fac
simile signature of Chas. H, Fletcher
under whose supervision it has been
manufactured continuously for over
thirty years.-Philadelph Bulletin.
