public servants who will protect and
promote its interests in faithful and
efficient manner.
Messrs. Rowland and Barnes are mem
bers of the present Board, and their con-
tinuance in office carries its own COM
ment. Messrs. Dorsey and Smith have
seen similar service and the duties of the
office are not new to them. Messrs. HINT
Burwell. Gill and Stone are untried but
they will not be found wanting. 1t is a

Meeting of Warehousemen.

There was a meeting of warehouse
men of the bright tobacco belt of Vir-
ginia and North Carolina in Hender-
son last week for the purpose of con-
sidering matters affecting their inter-
ests and to devise plans for their mu-
tual good. Oxford, Durham, Louis
burg, Warrenton, Clarksville and
Henderson were represented in per-
son and other markets in Virginia
and Eastern North Carolina by let
ter.
The question of selling out or buy
ing Or going into any combination
or trust was not discussed or consid-
cred at this meeting To the con-
trary, the meeting was held solely for
the purpose of adopting plans for the
mutual protection of the warehouse
men themselves, the farmers and
the tobacco grown throughout this
section. The practice in vogue here
tofore of employing drummers and
buying tobacco in the country has
caused much annoyance, unfriendli-
ness and litigation between drum
mers and farmers, and it has been
thought best in the interest of all
parties to abandon drumming
through the country and the unbus.

CONGRATULATED the WRONG Man.

Mr. Charles W. Gill, the capable
and popular secretary of the Teiser
Company, was the recipient of numer-
GUS congratulations Tuesday morn
ing, and while he may deserve such
on general principles these came
under a misapprehension of the true
facts in the case. Two commission
ers were nominated in the First Ward
Monday night, NJ. H. Stone and j..
A. Gill, and not a few persons took
the West end man to be the future
commissioner instead of the East end
one Both merchants and both good
men either of whom would serve his
constituents faithfully and accept
ably. But it was J. A. Gill and not
Charles w. who had been nominated.
While the one was being voted for by
his friends in the First Ward the
other was enthusiastically support
ing another in the Second Ward ask
ing no political honors for himself.
However, the joke was humored for
awhile. Mr.. C. W. Gill accepted the
congratulations with blushing mod
esty, explanations followed and a
hearty laugh was had all around.

SOUTHERLAND NOMINATED.
Mass Meeting Tuesday Night to Nom
mate Mayor-Contest Spirited but
Good HumOred,

Pursuant to call mass meeting OF
voters OF the town was held in the court
house Tuesday night to nominate May
or for the ensuing term. 1t was a large
and enthusiastic gathering and showed
the deep interest felt in the impending
issue. Capt, ". B. Shaw was elected
chairman and J. G. Kittreil secretary. In
taking the chair Capt. Shaw made a
timely talk explaining the object OF the
meeting and the Importance OF wise ac-
ton in the selection Of candidate for
Mayor, the executive head OF the town
government.
J. H. Bridgers nominated R. J. Souther-
land, which nomination was seconded by
Thad r. Manning, both paying high trib-
ute to his character, qualifications and
administration of the duties OF that Of
fee for the past ten years. s. Il. Belts
in a ringing speech placed the name OF H.
T. Powell in nomination. This was sec
onded by some one in the audience whose
lusty voice and earnest manner was made
to serve the purpose OF speech.
Both good men each had a strong back
ing by earnest partisans. The fight was
spirited and the contest close. Perfect
good feeling prevailed both candidates
conducting their campaign on high
plane of honesty and fairness The regret
with many of their friends was that they
could not vote for both. Of the 251 votes
cast Switzerland received 143 and Pow
ell 1OS-a majority OF 30 for Souther-
land. AS soon as the result had been an
nounced and the applause which followed
it could be silenced Mr.. Powell stood up
on a bench and moved that the nomina-
tion be made unanimous. This action on
the part Of the young man who had just
gone down in glorious and triumphant
defeat-glorious in the splendid fight he
had made and triumphant in the friend
ship and admiration OF all by his honor
able and manly ycourse-wasg greeted with
cheers and applause no less demonstra-
tive than that which followed the an
nouncement OF the result of the vote.
In response to calls for speech Mayor
Southerland expressed his high apprecia-
ton of the honor that had been conferred
upon him and the deep sense OF obliga-
ton he felt to the people of Hendersonfor
this renewed evidence Of their confidence
and endorsement. Mt. Powell thanked
his friends for the support given him and
said that while he had been a Powell man
up to that time he then stood with the
majority and was for Switzerland, and
if necessary he would take off his coat
ann work to elect him. This sentiment
was heartily applauded and the number
of Mr. Powel's friends was greater than
when he entered the hall. The vote he
received was altogether creditable to him
and defeat left no sting. Mt. Powell is a
bright young man of good ability and
commendable ambition and the GOLD
LEAF predicts that official honors are yet
in store for him.

COOPER-LASSITER.
Harriage of Prominent Young People
of Henderson In New York Last

=
of Henderson In New York Last
Week.
Popular interest has for some weeks
centred in the marriage of Mr. Alexander
Cooper and Mrs. Ellen Faucet Lassiter,
which was announced to take place in
New York City on April 23rd. The prom
inence and popularity of these two young
people caused the intelligence of their en-
gagement to be received with more than
usual interest and their friends at home
and elsewhere have looked forward with
pleasurable anticipations to the cOnsum-
nation OF the hnppy event.
At st. Stephens Church, West 69th
Street and Broadway, New York City, at
1870 O'Clock a. m, Thursday, April 23rd,
1903, MI. Cooper and Mrs Lassiter plight
ed their troth at the marriage altar
Rev. Nathaniel Seigel was the officiating
clergyman. Mr. John d. Cooper, of Hen
derson, was the groom's best man. Mr.
L. B. Yuille accompanied the bride to the
altar and gave her away. Mrs. Lassiter
had been staying with her cousin Mrs
Yuille, in New York for several months
and it was decided that the marriage
should take place there
Immediately after the marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Cooper left for Washington City to
spend a few days arriving home Monday
morning.
The bride is one of the most beautiful
and attractive of Hendersons lovely
daughters and numbers her friends and
admirers by the circle of her acquaint-
ance. She comes of prominent famil Y
| of Halifax county, her grandfather be-
ing the late John J. Long, who was a
brother of Col. Nicholas Long, noted in
their day as among the wealthiest and
most extensive planters ofEastern North
Carolina. She is the daughter of Mrs. w.
W. Faucet and niece of Mrs. Junius DAN
iel, of henderson, than whom the town
contains no more estimable ladies. While
she was not born here MIS- Cooper came
to henderson when quite young and was
reared and educated among us and we
claim her as our own.
Mr. Cooper is the second son of MIR. D..
Y. Cooper and is widely known and pop
ular being prominent in business and So
| ciety. He is warmly congratulated upon
his good fortune and has cause to feel the
happy man that he looks.
The gifts to the bride were many hand
| some and costly, attesting the popular
| ity and esteem in which the couple are
| held
An elegant reception was rendered them
by Mt. and Mrs. d. Y. Cooper at their
home last evening. 1t was brilliant af-

| events ever known in henderson.
