Colored Couple Cupidized.

A marriage OF colored persons
which caused moro than the usual
amount of interest among their white
friends occurred at half past seven
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The con-
tracing parties were Peyton Terrell
and Alice Downey, and the marriage
took place at the residence of DR.. F.
R. Harris. The groom is an industri-
Gus, trustwo rthy man who has been
in the employment Of Dr.. Harris for
the past three years. The bride is a
respectable, well behaved girl, highly
regarded for her character and worth.
Her people live at Virgilina, but she
has been staying at Mrs. Manning's
about year and half and is a
capable, honest servant.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. R. I. Walden, pastor of the col
ored Baptist church. Entering from
the rear the couple advanced to the
front part of the house where the
minister awaited them. Standing
upon fur rugs that had been placed
for the purpose, under the glare Of
electric lights in the early evening
the words that united them in tho
bonds of matrimony were pronounced
with impressiveness and solemnity.
The hall, parlor and front porch were
thronged with interested spectators,
white and colored, word having been
passed to neighbors and friends in
advance of the occurrence.
The bride was dressed in white and
looked nicely. the groom wearing a
neat suit and self-complacent look.
Phoebe Stanton was maid of honor
and Richard Harris acted as best
man.

Compliment and Criticism.

Mr.. George n. Adams, advertising
manager of the Andrews Furniture
and Music Co.. of Charlotte, writes
to thank the GOLD LEAF for the
manner in which their ads. arc
handled. He says: "On the whole
| think your advertisements are very
nicely made up and the display con-
siderably above the average" Then
Mr.. Adams offers word of criticism
which we appreciate no less than the
compliment passed. He says: "A
suggestion right here: Have your
ad. man use not more than three dis
tinct styles of type, preferably on
tUo-it gives the ad. more force
Mr.. Adams is entirely correct. The
trouble with most printers is that
when they 60 to set an adj. or job
they want to use some OF every style
of type in the shop-and the larger
the letter the better they like it. But
the fault not infrequently lies in the
office equipment. Instead OF select
ing few attractive type faces and
getting them OF the same series, and
plenty of each kind, the idea carried
out in most offices runs too much to
assortment and not enough of any one
size or style Of letter. That is the
error most country printers fall into
in buying display type. and while the
GOLD LEAFS equipment is frequently
a subject of favorable comment by
outsiders this office has suffered in
convenience and waste of material in
consequence of this very thing.

Declined the Fee.

Monday a couple came to town bent
on matrimonv. The man had the
necessary license but the services of a
magistrate or a minister bothered
him for awhile. Finally Rev. NJ. H.
futile appeared upon the scene and
as the intending groom was in great
hurry saying he was burning daylight
and wanted to get back home to chop
ping cotton Mr.. W. T. Written sug-
gested that for the time being he
would convert his store into a court
of Hymen and that they could step
inside and have the matrimonial knot
tied. 1t was done nor were specta-
tors lacking.
After the ceremony was performed
the grateful groom took the minister
to one side and told him that he didn' t
have any money to pay him but he
wanted to give him something by way
of showing his appreciation. And
thrusting his hand into his inside coat
pocket he drew out bottle, saving:
"I've got some mighty good whi.key
here and I'll give you drink if you
want it," OF course the crowd did
not laugh then but the incident has
been told and retold and laughed over
many times since. Whether Mr..
futile expected fee or not the GOLD
LEAF is not advised but it is perfectly
safe in saying he did not expect that
kind of fee at any rate.

Helping and Hindering the Town.

Perhaps every one desires to be
known as good citizen. No one
really wants to hinder the progress
of his town. But he can do this in
various ways whether Intentionally
or not. Here are some of the ways
a. suggested by an exchange: Refuse
to take your town paper. Never send
it an item of news, never speak
good word for the paper, but say all
YOU can against it. BE very sure
YOU do not advertise in its columns,
because YOU might benefit the pub
Usher while promoting your own well
fare. And if you do advertise any
make the editor trade it out whether
he needs anything in your line or not.
He NAV require money to run his
business but let him get it some
where else as far as you are concern
ed. Urge your friends to subscribe
for some other paper, but never ask
them to take your town paper. Have
all your printing done away from
home. Get mad with the editor
every time he fails to put your name
in the paper when you leave town
Give the editor q ..cussin" every time
he prints al article that does not
harmonic with your views. Follow
these instructions faithfully, and you
will be sure to make your town move
backward.

County Commissioners fleet In Regu-
lar Session Monday, Finish Business
on Hand and Hold joint neeting
With Justices of the Peace to Levy


ldxeS.
The Board of County Commission
ers met in regular monthly session
Monday and besides tran sactine the
usual routine business disposed of the
following:
Report on the school tax election
was received, report accepted and re-
suit ordered to be properly recorded.
p. A. Bobbitt and the Road Com
missioners of Henderson township
were appointed committee to inves
tigate and report to the Board at
next meeting in regard to the advisa-
bility of opening two roads through
parts of Henderson township and Kit
trell township, the said road being
pstitioned for by E. A. Fuller and
j. A. Fuller.
No tax was levied for working the
roads in Henderson township, it APP
Pearing that sufficient money is still
in hand to carry on the work this
year. The present Road Commits
sioners for Henderson township were
continued with direction to use the
fund in hand for road purposes

to levy the taxes for the current year
as provided by law. The same levy
as heretofore was made: 60 cents on
the 800 worth of real and personal
property and $3.50 on the poll for
State and county.
For Graded School purposes in
Henderson township a levy of 16s
cents on the 500 worth OF property
and 50 cents on each poll was made.
The school trustees having gone care
fully over the matter decided that
this would raise sufficient revenue

maximum fixed by the charter-2O
and 60 cents.
There was full attendance nearly
all the Justices being present.

STATUS OF THE CASE
Between the Henderson Methods
Protestant Church and Mr.. Young.

In Our Church Record of last week.
Mr.. L. L. Hicks. of counsel for plain
tiffs gives the following points about
the above mentioned case which came
up for hearing before Judge Coble
at the reccn: term Of Vance Superior
Court:
The deed made by VIM. A. Harris
TO the Henderson Methodist Protes-
tant church in 1880, though in the
usual form OF a fee simple deed with
warranty, provided that the lot should
revert to him or his heirs or his
assigns whenever the church should
''cease to occupy the lot for the pur-
poses of a church, His will later
divided '.sll his property" without
mentioning any right Of reversion in
this lot, between his son Walter and
his daughter Pattie Young.
She died in 1892 leaving a will in
which she devised all the property Of
which she should be seized and
possessed at the time of her death"
TO j. r. Young for certain purposes.
She left no issue and Walter G. her
brother, was her only heir at law, and
also only heir at law of VIM. A. Harris
after her death. In 1886 Walter exc
cuted to the church a release of any
and all right of reversion he had in
this lot whether as heir or devisee OF
his father or heir of Psttie. 1t was
after that deed that the church con-
cluded to build new house of wor-
ship which was completed and occu-
pied in 1900. Then in January, 1901,
the church concluded to sell the old
building and lot, but when it was
offered for sale J. r. Young claimed
half interest in it under the will OF
Pattie Young and suit was brought
by the church, since he would not,
to adjudicate his claim. There wore
several interesting questions of law
involved, but the decision of Judge
Coble was in favor of the church on
the ground that Pattie Young was
not .'seized and possessed of this lot
or any part of it at the time of her
death. L. L. HICKS.

THE CORBITT BUGGY COMPANY.
An Enterprise of Which Henderson
Has Cause to be Proud.

The Corbitt Buggy Company is an
enterprise which is destined to carry
Henderson's name still further and
make this good town still more
famous than it is. 1t is an enter
prise we have cause to be proud of
and one the GOLD LEAF hopes may
meet with the success that it deserves.
And it has the right men behind it
with plenty OF capital, and right men
employed in the various departments
OF the establishment to put out such
work as to make success assured.
The work already turned out has been
much admired.
They make ten different styles Of
open and top buggies and they are
light, strong and handsoms-as nice
work as can be found anywhere. In
point of material, workmanship and
finish the Corbitt buggy is strictly

They have already under way in
the factory 400 buggies and material

will give some idea of what they are
are doing as starter. And the ma
chinery has scarcely got to running
