THE LAKE ERIE GRAPE BELT.

Americans are accustomed to great
to the fruits Of California. 1t seems
natural to read of thousands of tons
of raisins in that state and oranges by
thousands of car loads. But who would
estimate the grape crop Of the strip of
country along the southern shore Of
Lake Erie, between a point about TWEEN
ty-fve miles west of Buffalo and San
dusky, at the immense total of 1870, 000,-
900 to 100000, 900 pounds?
That means nearly or quite two
pounds for every man, woman, and
child in the United States; and yet the
belt Of country in which the grapes are
grown is so narrow that it's total area
is small. Some parts of it are very
scantily provided with vineyards, and
no section is wholly devoted to grape
growing. Yet it takes about 1900 car
loads to move the crop every year.
Cleveland Leader.
Yes, and then estimate the crop be-
tween a point fifteen miles west Of and
the east line OF Sandusky, which takes
in Kelly's island and the Bass islands.
and you have more acres of grapes
proportionally than in the territory
east Of Sandusky to Dunkirk, N. Y

Editor Clark Jealous of Us.

The Landmark is panied to learn that
on last Saturday night some sneakt thief
invaded the premises of Editor Manning,
OF the Henderson GOLD LEAF. and ''stOle
six chickens and two large hams" We
are distressed on account of the misfOr-
tune which has befallen Bro. Manning,
but we are consumed with curiosity to
know how country editor happened to
have such great quantity OF rations on
band at one time. 1t may be that some
OF his rich kinsfolk died and left him a
fortune and that he proceeded to celebrate
by providing material for a square meal;
or it maybe that Mr.. Manning had be-
come injected with the idea of putting on
style and laid in the six chickens and
two large hams just for the big of the
thing" If the latter is the case he de-
served to lose his Notwithstanding Land
mark
We confess to having lost some
chickens. How: we got them it were
base impertinence to ask lest the
answer tend 10 confound us with that
numerous class of patriots whose
wives support them. AS for the hams
we did not realize what we had lost
until informed by the Landmark.
Had We known that the thief was
possessed of ''two large hams" the
incentive to catch him would have
been greater. We could have used
the meat in our business.

NEARING COMPLETION.
The New Methodist Protestant Church
Credit to That Denomination and
an Ornament to the Town.

The new Methodist Protestant
church is nearing completion. All
the work has been done with the ex-
ception OF putting in the pews, ar
ranging the lighting effects and few
minor details. The carpet is down in
the main auditorium and the seats
will soon be placed in position.
These were made to order according
to the diagram furnished by the
architect by the Grand Rapids Manu-
featuring Company, and they have a
man here putting them together.
The seats are Of pretty design and
very comfortable.
The stained glass windows are
things of beauty. There are two
large memorial windows which are
works of art. They have been great
ly admired by every one who has seen
them. The front window bears this
inscription: "In Memory of William
A. Harris, founder of the first NJ. P.
church in Henderson" At the top
there is cross with rope and anchor,
an urn and flowers being below. This
window was put in by the church.

the Glory of God and the Memory of

Our Methodist Protestant friends
have cause to be proud of their new
house of worship. 1t is of brick,
handsome in architectural design,
commodious in size, conveniently
constructed and inside and out it is a
thing of beauty. 1t is an ornament
to the town and a credit not only to
the congregation in Henderson but to
that denomination throughout the
State.

DR.. w. 7. CHEATHAM.
A Conscientious Physician and Typi-
cal Southern Gentleman, Born April
10Th, 1892; Died June 23rd, 1000.

In the August number of Ne,citzky's
Magazine, published at Norfolk, we
find the following article written by
the editor, DR.. George 1. Nowitzky,
which we are sure will be read with
melancholy interest by friends of the
late DR.. Cheatham:
BY the death of DR.. W. L. Cheat
ham the city of Henderson, n. c., lost
one Of its ablest and most useful citi-
zens-Vance and other adjoining
counties to which his practice ex-
tended, conscientious and honest
physician, the State of North Car
DINA, one of her most loyal sons Of
the medical faculty, cultured gentle
man, who was always willing to give
the benefit of his many discoveries
and inventions to his fellow-practi-
tioners-the literary world, the re-
search of magniticently endowed
mind
One of his books should never 90
out of print, being doubly useful,
containing facts of great value to the
physicians, but so thoroughly qualified
that it is of incalculable benefit to the
layman.
He was charitable, without ostenta-
ton. Honorable in all his acts. When
called to the bedside of the sufferer,
he knew no difference between the
rich and poor.
As president of his States Medical
Association his rulings were always
wise and equitable. He had kind
word for the distressed and encour-
agement for the weary.
DR.. Cheatham had repeatedly ex-
pressed hope that when the final
summons came, it would find him in
sufficient health to be engaged in his
professional duties and this wish was
gratified, for the Doctor had just re-
turned from visiting a number of
patients and retired to his room for a
little much needed rest, when an
angel of God gently touched him and
babe him appear before the Master he
had served SO we'll.
1t is unnecessary to close with the
oft quoted, wellmeaning lines, REST
in peace" He is resting in peace,
for Heaven was made for Just such
men as Dr. W. T. Cheatham.
