Rev. ], D. Bundy to [ cave.

Rev. J. D. Bundy, the popular and
beloved pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, is to leave Hen
derson. He was made presiding
elder of the Washington district by
the Goldsboro conference and will
reside in Wilson. While his friends
find pleasure in his promotion there
is general regret at his going away.
Mr.. Bundy is a strong man-in the
pulpit as well as out of it-and pos
sesses executive and administrative
ability of a his order. He has done
good work here and has the love and
confidence of his charge and the re-
spect and estem Of the community at
large. He went to Conference with a
clean balance sheet, all the financial
obligations of his church having been
paid up in full the amount. raised for
all purposes being creditable alike to
pastor and people.
We repeat there is regret at Mr..
Bundy's going away and he carries
with him into his new field the best
wishes OF the people of Henderson re-
CARELESS Of UNCONVENTIONAL lines for
himself and family.
The Raleigh Christian Advocate in
referring to the three new presiding
elders says this of Mr.. Bundy:
Jesse D. Bundy-A college mate in the
latter 7O's. A preacher with certain
Cromwellian qualities which never allow
him to be happy unless he is leading q
charge and singing psalms lin his heart)
Strange to say, somewhat timid-but
never less than bold. He will not be
found lacking in executive ability. but his
forte will be in arousing sinners and
regulating saints.

we'll known about town, shot himself
accidentally last Thursday sustain
ing injuries which it was thought
would prove fatal He had a %
calibre pistol into which he was try
ing to force acartridge a fraction too
large. Placing the muzzle of the pis-
tol agaist his abdomen he was strik-
ing on the cartridge with q rock or
some other hard substance when it
exploded. The ball entered the alb
domen iniicting what was feared to
be fatal wound. He was taken to
st. Vincent Hospital at Norfolk and
operated upon. The operation re-
vealed the fact that the intestines
were perforated in five places. The
operation was entirely successful, the
patient standing the ordeal we'll.
He is getting on very nicely and the
chances of recovery are favorable,
although he is not beyond danger by
any means.
Louis is bright little fellow, polite
and accommodating and his case has
enlisted the sympathy and anxiety of
all who know him. He is a pupil of
the Graded School and stands well

VERY SAD DEATH.
Miss Olive Allen, of kittreil, Teacher
In the Durham Graded School,
Stricken Down Almost Suddenly,
aud Dies Within a Short While.

One OF the saddest deaths we have
been called upon to chronicle, was
that of Miss Olive Allen, of kittrell,
| which occurred at the home OF Mr. /.
J. Young in Henderson at 10 O'Clock
last Thursday morning.
Miss Allen was a teacher i'll the
| fourth grade of the EdgemontG Graded
School at Durham. While she had
not been we'll for some time she con-
| tinued her work and taught until
Friday, the week before. Tuesday
she started home but could get no
further than Henderson. She was a
very sick woman and Capt. Rem
telegraphed Mr.. !. J. Young to meet
her at the train with carriage. DR..
r. J. Gill (also a kinsman by mar
riage) was there also He found Miss
Allen in a state OF collapse almost,
and she was taken Immediately to
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Young.
All that medical aid could do
proved of no avail and the young
lady continued to grow worse until
Thursday morning when she died.
Her death was due to a complication
of diseases, resulting in Il general
breakdown of the entire nervous sys-
tem-progressivep erniciOus anRmia,
the medical men term it.
Miss Allen represented the finest
type of noble young womanhOod.
She was bright and accomplished,
ambitious, generous and unselfish,
and died a martyr to duty and love
to her family, a younger sister and
brother whom she had helped to edu
cate beside educating herself. She
was a daughter of Mrs. J. B. Allen
and sister of Mrs. R. M. Person, OF
Kittrell, and was about % years
old. She graduated at the State
Normal College and had been teach
ing several years Last fall she took
Il position in Durham and was held
in high regard and esteem by the Off
Gals and others with whom she
labOred.
A correspondent writing from Kit
trell to The News and Observer says
this of her:
Our whole community is deeply
-grieved at the death today of Miss Olive
Allen, one of the most estimable and
gifted young ladies ever reared in Vance
county Highly educated, amiable, too
gentle to have ever made an enemy, but
beloved and admired by all for her high
qualities of head and heart. Her death
is distinct loss to this community.
The funeral was held at Plank
Chapel Friday afternoon at B o'clock.
Rev. J. D. Bundy conducted the
service, assisted by Rev. Marvin
Culbreth. There was large attend
ance and great sorrow was manifested
upon the countenance of all who had
.liiuWn ana loved her.

"R0ME0 AND JULIET"
4 Play 40 rieaae alto b. Presented
at Cooper Op Z House Friday Even
ing, Decs NIB 18th.

at cooper Oi5 Z House iiday Even
ing, Decs nb.r 18th.
One OF til" superior presentations
OF this season is Simyelle's gorgeous
scenic and electric production OF that
immortal classic oflove and passion,
Silakespearp's Romeo and Juliet, >
which will be presented at Cooper
opera House Friday evening, Dec.
18th.
All famous artists have in their
time, Tor generations past, PLAYED t he
principal parts in this really great
and moving play, and the lapse of
time has only put Il keener edge on
public curiosity for the play is more
popular and acceptable today than
ever.
Shakespeare's genius was at its
best In his creation of the marvellous
characters i'll this play. How skilful
is the contrast OF the Nurses subtle
humor-a masterpiece of comic char
acterlzatiOn-with Mercutio's scott
ing cynicism, a creation of high COM
edy, with the fragrant innocence of
Juliet, and the romantic enthusiasm
OF her lover, Romeo. All the very
best .eatures of dramatic compost
ton and poetry are to be found in
Romeo and Juliet" The interest
is absorbing, the pathos most deeply
touching, while the humorous ele-
ment, never too prominent, affords
that contrast so essential to q really
great drama. The character of Friar
Laurence is we'll worth study; so is
that OF Lady Capulet; Paris, mirth
provoking Peter; the starving Apoth-
ecary; the fiery Tybalt; old Capulet,
noble Benvolio and the lesser char
acters. This beautiful play must al
ways highly interest those who are
not dead to the noblest passions of
our nature or blind to the greatest
beauties poetry can create. Simvelle's
production carries all new scenery
complete, properties and electric
effects, and will be given in its entire
tV here for the first time.

Must Come Again.

Last week the GOLD LEAF men
toned the fact that Mr. R. l.. Moss
had killed 2 hog 16 months old that
weighed 444 pounds. And thereby
friend Moss has got himself chal-
lenged. Mr.. NJ S. Duke writes us q
note to say that he thinks he can
beat that, good as it is. He killed a
hog that weighed 422 pounds at ID
months old-3 months younger and
only ? pounds lighter. Upon this
showing Mr.. Duke asks the GOLD
LEAF to work it out and see who is
entitled to the cake.

than that it was a typical Vance

able way for which they are noted
and was enjoyed to the fullest extent
by all present. Oysters, barbecued
PIG. country ham, cold beef, breads,
crackers, pickles, olives, celery, coffee,
fruits, etc, constituted the bill OF
fare. Everything was we'll cooked
and nicely served, seats being pro-
vided at a long table extending
the entire length OF the spacious
hall
After supper there was speech max
ing, a number OF persons responding
to calls. Merited praise was paid to
Co. c. for their ready response to
every call OF duty; for their proficiency
in the drill; their 'soldierly bearing;
splendid personnel and gentlemanly
department in camp and at home.
1t was a pleasure to be their guest

tributed in any way to the success

Every Farmer Ought to Have One.

One of the best things of the kind
offered the public is the Cyclone Feed
Cutter, sold by the Watkins Hard
ware Company. 1t does the work
thoroughly and easily, cutting and
shredding the feed, and will pay for
itself in short while. Corn, (stalk
and fodder hay, oats, shucks, and
the like are cut with equal facility
and there is no waste as when fed in
the ordinary way. The Watkins
Hardware Company areState agents
for the Cyclone Feed Cutters and
have them in all sizes. The GOLD
LEAF suggests to its farmer friends
to call and examine this machine and
see it in operation. 1t will be worth
the while whether you wish to buy or
not.
