The Board of Trustees of the Graded

progress of the school and adopted
resolutions commendatory of the
work of the superintendent and teach
ers, which are published below. 1t

after witnessing the work of the
pupils in each room we are quite sure

was taking for it's promotion and well
fare than before. Following are the
resolutions adopted:
WHEREAS, The Trustees OF the Graded

and which, they recognize, as one OF the
| most important factors in the further
| upbuiding of the town: and
WHEREAS, They feel that the great sue
cess which has attended this school is
due in large measure to the wise, faith
full and skillful management of the Super
intpndpnt and his excellent teachers;
| and
| WHEREAS, They desire to express their
appreciation Of their service rendered,
therefore be it
Resolred, That the thanks OF the Board
OF Trustees and the citizens of the town

by rendered to Prof. j. 7. Alderman,
Superintendent. and to each one OF the
teachers for the earnest, patient and
faithful discharge of their duties; and for

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.
f1r. William II. Hughes Falls Victim
of Pneumonia After a Weeks Sick.

BY mere inadvertence the GOLD
LEAF failed last week to mention the
death OF one of our oldest and best
known citizens, Mr.. William II.
Hughes. He died at the home of his
brother, Mr.. George B. Hughes, near
town, on the morning of the 3rd in
slant. Mr.. Hughes was taken sick
with pneumonia about one week be-
fore his death. AS soon as his illness
became known his brother had him
removed from his room here in town
to his own homo where he could be
better looked after. He received
every necessary attention possible
but the frail body and weakened con-
stitution could not withstand the at
tack.
Mr.. Hughes was about II years old.
He had been we'll to do the in the early
history Of Henderson he was one of
the leading and most conspicuous
figures in the business life of the
town. But the war brought reverses
and his later years were spent in
striking contrast to the flush times
which he had once known. Mr..
Hughes had many good traits of char
acter and those who knew him liked
the old man. He was United States
Commissioner and Justice of the
Peace for many years and when he
was not correct in his decisions it
was due to an error of the head and
not of the heart.
Suffering an intirmity as he did
| extreme near-sightedness) he did not
always recognize his friends and ac-
quaintances in passing and unless he
was spoken to he rare y noticed any
one. But he was friendly by nature
and inclined to be sociable with his
intimates, and always appreciated
any notice taken of him, because of
his inability to recognize rassers by.
For the writer he always showed a
special partiality and we valued his
friendship and kindly interest. Feeble
though he was whenever he had an
item that he thought the editor could
make a matter of news the steps lead
ing to our Office were not too long nor
the fatigue too great for him to come
and tell us. And if he heard good
| joke or something especially ludicrous
came under his notice not exactly
suited for publication, but which he
thought we could enjoy and laugh
over with him, We were one of the
first to whom he told it. And we
always felt better for having bright
ened and cheered the life Of the lonely
old man even if for little while, and
we sorrow at his death as that of a
friend and we'll wisher.
The funeral was held at the Episco-
pal church at i o'clock Saturday
afternoon. May 4th, the rector Rev.
Julian f. Ingle conducting the service.
The body was inferred at the old family
home place a few miles East of town.
Peaceful be bis rest after life's
titful fever is ended.
