The gold leaf., 1901-07-25

II appears that the damage done to
The Methodist Episcopal church by
lightning, as mentioned last week.
was greater than at first supposed.
The indications are that the steeple
VIII have to be taken down. The
walls supporting it are cracked and it
is not believed to be safe as it is.
Out at Wortham's pond, near town,
there was an old fashioned baptizing
Sunday afternoon. Rev. NJ. H. Tuttle
Immersed eight persons. There was
large crowd present and as the spec
tators arranged themselves on the
sloping hillsides overlooking the
water it made quite an impressive
scene.
Rev. j. L. B. Hoover, who recently
started much needed enterprise here
In the manufacture of brick, has lust
burned his first kiln and is exhibiting
what experts pronounce a tirst-class
article. They are Of superior quality,
remarkably hard and firm, and should
be much in demand for building pur-
poses.
The Vance Guards got back Friday
afternoon from Wrightsville where
they had been in camp with the Third
Regiment for ten days. There was no
sickness among the boys, no accident
of any kind and all had pleasant
time considering the weather and
some minor disadvantages and incon-
veniences.
Mr.. Joe Basket, one of our worthy
and industrious farmer friends, was
in town wearing an extra pleasing
smile Saturday. The cause thereof
was the fact that when the shades of
night came on at the close of the
previous day his family numbered
but seven, whereas the next morning
there were eight. Mother and son
both doing well.
The GOLD LEAF is glad to see so
many of the young men of the town
providing them mselves with nice turn
outs stylish horses and fancy bug
gies. Two of the latest additions are
those of Messrs. Horace Hood and
James Brodie e-both very nobby affairs
with rubber tires and bicycle wheels,
and seats just built for two.
Rev. c. l.. Whitaker, president of
the North Carolina Conference,
preached in the Methodist Protestant
church here Sunday night. A large
congregation was present and listened
with rapt attention to an able and
earnest discourse. President Whitaker
has hosts of very warm friends in
Henderson who are always pleased to
see him and who hear him gladly.
Miss Kate Allen has returned from
a pleasant tri p to New York. where
she went to attend class exercises at
Cooper Union Art Institute, of which
she is graduate. She met with
friends and took a trip up the Hudson,
famed in song and story, a sail on
whose placid waters and a view of
whose beautiful scenery it is a rare
pleasure to enjoy at this season of the
year.
