SURPRISE AWAITING HIM.
What Pastor Hendefli;e Will Find
When HE Returns Home.

All advantage, but not a mean one
to be sure, has been taken of Rev. j.
Fl. Henderlite's absence, and when he
returns home this week from his bri-
dial trip pleasant surprise will await
him. The Presbyterian manse has
been transformed into quite another
place from what he left it as far rs
interior decorations and furniture
are concerned. Some of the good la
dies and other members of the con-
gregatiOn together with not a few
friends and admirers of the popular
young minister who do not belong to
his church, have been busy for sever
al days painting the inside walls,
woodwork and floors, putting down
mattings and placing new furniture
therein.
The first thing that greets the eye
as one enters is a handsome hall rack
an individual gift. In the sitting
room to the right a magnificent
leather couch, comfortable rockers.
centre table, large globe lamp and
other articles of furniture are found.
In the chamber just back of this room
the central figure of the tasty and
appropriate furnishings requisite
thereto is a beautiful white enameled
bed with brass trimmings, furnished
complete from felt mattress to coun-
terpane, together with chairs. rugs,
lace curtains. etc. In the diningrOom
across the hall is an oak extension
table, with chairs to match, an ex-
quisite dinner set of Haviland china,
etc. The cook room is provided with
a Bucks stove and a complete set of
cooking utensils and kitchen requis-
ties. These were the gift of Il gentle
man not a member of Mr.. Hender-
lite's church, and no contribution,
entirely voluntary us it was, is more
highly appreciated or been the sub
iect of more favorable comment by
those having the matter in charge
The pantry has been stocked with
good things to eat of various kinds
and altogether the young couple for
whom these things have been done
will have fresh cause to feel that their
lines have fallen in pleasant places.

Mr.Hicks Gets Another One of His Books.

Mr. Hicks has recovered another
one of his books. DR.. Hufham had
his "Westover Manuscripts. The
GOLD LEAF does not claim all the
credit for this, though, because of all
places it would have gone searching
for borrowed books the good Doc
tors library would have been about
the last. But he gives a straight ac-
count Of how it came to be in his
possession. He found it on Mr.. Pitt
mans table and as he was taking
along some other books and papers
OF his belonging supposing this vol
ume was his that went along with
the rest. Nor was it until two law
yers got hot on his trail that he
would be convinced to the contrary.
But Mr.. Hicks is happy in recovering
his highly priced "Westover Manu-
scripts and Dr. Hufham is convinced
that-if Mr.. Pittman had returned the
book he borrowed it would not have
been found in an innocent mans
hands.

Bad Roads Retard PROGRESS.

Wilson's growth is being retarded by
the bad roads that lead to the town.
The merchants and warehousemen are
feeling the effects; in fact every form of
business here is feeling the effects because
it is almost impossible for the farmers to
haul goods from our town.-WiisOn
Times.
Wilson is not the only town whose
growth is retarded by bad roads.
Henderson suffers from the same
cause and Yet our people appear to
be doing little or nothing to improve
the situation. After awhile we may
wake up to a realization of the true
condition Of affairs. but then it will
be difficult to overcome fixed habits
and regain trade that we have lost
to other markets.

Of water which when confined in a
pipe, rises seventy feet above the sur
face. The water is SO salty that the
evaporation of a gallon of it leaves a
pint of salt. The flow has formed a
creek about three miles long and the
flow increases day by day.-K. c.
