DR.. Hufham Will Remain.

1t will be gratifying information to
the friends and admirers of Dr. Hut
ham to know that he is to remain in
Henderson. At the Baptist church
Sunday morning this announcement
was formally made. DR.. Hufham's
resignation. rendered some time
ago, was not accepted. He was asked
to reconsider and withdraw his res
ignation and since his health has
improved he has done so. 1t was
only on account of DR.. Hufham's en-
feebled condition at the time that his
resignation was offered. .He felt it
his duty to his people, under the cir
cumstances, to take this action, but
they regarded the matter differently.
In withdrawing his resignation DIR.
Hufham asked that his salary be re-
duced, suggesting cut of $500 a
year, which he said would enable the
congregation to give more for other
objects.
The GOLD LEAF is especially graft
fed at DR.. Hufham's improved condi-
ton of health and to know that he
will continue his present charge.
Long live the grand old man.

Prompt Service by the Postal.

For prompt service commend us to
Manager McCraw and the Postal Tele-
graph Company. The trouble is he
is most too quick some times. The
other day we had occasion to send
telegram and calling up the Postal
office the message was dictated
through the phone. AS the last word
was repeated one of the printers call
ed our attention to matter which
necessitated amending the order
slightly. Calling to Me" to hold a
minute and change the figures we
were asked if we gave that message
to be sent or expected it to be held in
the office here. When we made reply
he said that was what he had done
and the message was given the ope-
rator in Richmond in less than two
minutes after it had been dictated to
him.
That was pretty quick work but
that is the kind Manager McCraw and
the Postal are noted for. and put
out" though we were we could but
admire the way they have OF doing
things.

Death of q Good Citizen,

Mr.. f. A. Bum, a worthy citizen
of the county, died at his home a few
miles South of Henderson at II
O'Clock Thursday night. A short
while before he fell from a house and
sustained serious injury. Blood
poison followed with fatal result. Mr..
Bum was to have been married on
the 9th OF June and invitations had
been issued. Arch Bum was an
honest, Woodworking man and a good
citizen who had the confidence and
esteem of those who knew him. He
had a nice home and it was in the
identifying and improvement of this
that he sustained the in jury which
cost him his life. His death is very
sad under the peculiar and distressing
circumstances attending it and to
that one who sits in the shadow of
great sorrow as we'll as the i'm
mediate members of his family the
tenderest sympathies Of the COM
munity are extended.

Should be Looked After.

Complaint is made TO the GOLD
LEAF of the bad condition of things,
from a sanitary standpoint, out at
the Home for the Aged and Infirm.
We have it from persons who were
there Sunday that it is well nigh in
tolerable. Filth abounds and the in
mates present anything but clearly
appearance either in their persons or
clothing. And this too within few
days after the grand jury had visited
the Home, made a favorable report
upon same and were discharged with
the thanks Of the Court for ithful
performance Of their duty. 1t seems
incredible that the stories coming to
us can be true and yet we feel it our
duty to call attention to the matter
that it may be looked into.

Believed to Have Been Set on Fire.

1t is believed that the house Of
Daniel Person, colored. just below
Plank Chapel. in the edge Of Frank
lin, which was burned last week to-
gether with five of his children, as
mentioned in the GOLD LEAF. was set
on fire A negro woman and boy are
accused of the crime and have been
arrested. 1t is said the evidence is
very strong against them, the boy
having poured Kerosene oil on the
house and lighted match to it being
instigated by the woman. A quarrel
over a cabbage patch it is alleged was
the cause of the animosity which cul-
minated in the awful tragedy.
