WOULD BE A GREAT CALAMITY.
President and Largest Individual
Stock Holder Says Loss of Both the
Cotton Mills Would Not be Is Great
calamity to henderson rs the Loss
Of Its Graded Schools.

Standing on the street last Satur-
day were several gentlemen discuss
ing the school question. One of the
party, gentleman of large property
interests and q generous tax payer.
made the assertion that the loss of
the two cotton mills would not be as
great a calamity to Henderson a. the
loss of its Graded Schools. TO this
remark Mr.. d. Y. Cooper made quick
response: why no; certainly not :"
Mr.. Cooper is the largest individual
stock holder and also president Of
both the cotton mills, thus giving
him a double source Of income from
these institutions. He is, we believe,
also the largest property owner and
heaviest tax payer in the county.
And yet the Graded School has no
stronger champion than this man.
The GOLD LEAF does not make this
statement to show Mr.. Cooper's spirit
OF unselfishness, or to applaud his
liberality. Indeed, we are sure he
would prefer that his name be not
used at all. But we do it to show the
Importance such men place upon
public education in general, and the
Graded School in particular. The
fact that the largest property owners
and tax payers of the community are
for it argues more eloquently in favor
OF the proposition than words alone.
But, says some one, it is easier for
the rich man to pay $25 or 800 tax
than it is for the poor man to pay
$1.0O or $4.OO. In answer to this we
reply that with the Graded School he
will be better able to pay the in
creased tax than to have no school
and be exempt from such taxation.
The necessity-aye, the imperative
duty-of providing adequate school
facilities, the benefits derived from
the Graded Schools, and the loss it
would be to the community, are too
apparent to need arguing. There
fore, the cause Of popular education,
the perpetuation Of the Graded
Schools, the progress of the town and
consequent welfare and prosperity Of
our people will triumph at the polls
next Monday. Henderson takes no
backward step.

EXCELLENT VAUDEVILLE COMPANY.
High Carnival of Music, Mirth and
Herriment at Cooper Opera House
tuesday and Wednesday NIGHTS.

The Vivian DE Monte Vaudeville
Company gave two performances at
Cooper Opera House, Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. They had been
advertised to appear Wednesday and
Thursday nights instead, in conse-
quence of which they had but small
audience the first night. They de-
served full house. The entertain
msnt was high class throughout,
some Of the specialties being excep-
tionally good. There was plenty to
amuse, to entertain, to convulse with
laughter, to thrill with emotion. Mr..
and Mrs. Clark are very accomplished
musicians and their refined musical
act was we'll done and ELECTED warm
admiration and applause. Miss Nellie
LaMott, in her Transformation SER
pentine dance, with brilliant stereop-
ticon and calcium effects by Mr..
Claude LaMott, was pretty and pleas
ing, while her Hindoo cabinet act,
sack mystery, etc, proved as mysti-
tying as it was gracefully accomplish
ed. Mrs. Clark sang very sweetly.
She has a good voice and charming
presence, and whether in her acting,
singing or playing on the banjo,
guitar or mandolin, her appearance
was always the signal for denionstra
.tions of delight. Claude Kelly, the
singing and talking comedian caught
the crowd" To look at him is to
laugh, to hear him is to laugh some
more, and you keep on laughing until
he goes away and your sides are sore.
Mrs. Mozart May Kennedy was
suffering from the effects of deep
chest cold, and labored under great
difficulty in singing. But her songs
were greatly enjoyed despite, the
gem Of the first night being, Hello,
Central, Give Me Heaven" with stere-
opticon illustrations. 1t was noticed
that many handkerchiefs found their
way to moistened eyes during the
rendering of this act. Last night
Mrs. Mozart appeared to better ad-
vantage and both her acting and her
singing won her still larger numbers
of admirers. In her coquettish tlirt-
ing song ''Goo-goo Eyes" she was
most fascinating and pleasing, and
had to respond to three encOreS. Mr..
Mozart's magic work was good and as
a mystic entertainer he showed him
self quite clever. The laughable farce
entitled s'Three Married Men, was as
rich thing as has been seen on this
stage perhaps. While all the char
acters were we'll taken, Messrs.
Mozart and Kelly, the comedians,
were alone worth the price of admis-
sion. They are a capital pair of fun
makers and the laughs that they can't
provoke are not in the fountains of
mirth and merriment.
Altogether it was very good show,
refined comedy and high class vaude-
vile, clean and Legitimate, inter
preted and presented by capable and
clever people, whose coming this way
again we should welcome with pleas

Many successful men have borne
testimony to the efficiency of news
paper advertising in the exploitation
Of medical food, patented and other
articles, all manufacturers of such
commodities agreeing that without
the liberal use of newspaper space
the measure Of success which they
have achieved would have been i'm
possible. That the same mediums Of
publicity are equally important to
merchants and to others whose bust
ness is confined to section or COM
munity has been proven by the prac-
teal experience of thousands. For
example, Mack & Co., of Ann Arbor,
who started with a small stock of dry
goods, have built up the largest trade
in general merchandise in Southern
Michigan, and the manager has
declared that the chief element in the
success of his firm has been a larger
use of newspaper space than has been
employed by any rival establishment.
