HENDERSON P0sT0FFlCE.
Postmaster Jones' Excellent Standing
With the Department-Llkely to Get
Another Four Years Appointment,

With the DepartmeBt-Lkely to Get
Another Four Years Appointment,
Says this Correspondent.
The Washington correspondent of
the News and Observer in Tuesdays
paper had this to say about the
Henderson postoffice:
although the information, sent YOU
some days ago that Henderson was on
the slate prepared by State Chairman
Rollins for very early change in post
masters, came to me from North Caro-
lima Republican, of the Rollins persua-
sion, there seems to be a decided mistake
on the part, either Of Mr.. Rollins or his
follower, who furnished the information,
as MIR. Pryce Z. Jones, the present post
master at Henderson, has a most excel
lent standing at the Postotfice Depart
ment, and his term of Office does not ex-
pre- until some time next summer, and if
the present policy OF the Postoffice De
partment continues in force, Mr. Jones
is likely to get another four years ap-
pointment. 1t is said that the manage
ment OF the Henderson Office, under Mr..
Jones. has been highly satisfactory to
the department"
1.-The management OF the Hender-
son office, under Mr.. Jones, has been
highly satisfactory with the Depart
ment," says this correspondent. He
might have added with equal truth
that the management of the Office
has been highly satisfactory to
patrons, us we'll. Indeed, SO emf
nently satisfactory and successful
has Mr.. Jones conduct of the office
been that no thought has been given
to a change being made except by
those who hope to profit by such
change. Certainly no cause exists
for it, and intimation to that effect
caused surprise here.

Mrs. w. W. Morris of Henderson,
won the $500 prize in the bill
board contest offered by the Nation
al City Improvement League. To
encourage the beautifying and i'm
proving OF municipalities, and to
discourage the disfguring of rural
landscape scenes with unsightly bill
boards and other merring effects the
League offers a series OF prizes: Mrs:
Morris had pictures made of the lot
on which NJ. Dorsey has since built,
one showing the bill boards on it
ard the other after they had been re-
moved. If the change from the bill
boards to the vacant lot was deemed
worthy of the fourth prize q picture
showing Mr.. Dorsey's handsome new
residence thereon ought to win first
prize.

Death of Mrs. Lassiter.

Mrs. James H. Lassiter, whose
critical illness was mentioned in the
GOLD LEAF last week, died about 8
o'clock Saturday morning. She was
suddenly stricken Tuesday evening
and never fully regained conscious
ness. Mrs. Lassiter was a good wo-
man, greatly liked by those who
knew her and there is sincere sorrow
at her death. She was n devout
Christian and loyal member OF the
Baptist church. Before her marriage
to Mr.. Lassiter she was Miss Chetta
Darden of Hartford county, and
taught school for many years at
Chowan Baptist Institute and else
where, and many young women are
there throughout Eastern North
Carolina and Tidewater Virginia who
pronounce benedictions upon her
name for her kindness and he1pfulness
while students under her. The re-
mains we're taken to her old home in
the Eastern part OF the State for
burial.

Orphanage Werk.

Communicated
More distinctively each year
Thanksgiving Day is growing to be
orphans Day" in North Carolina.
A grateful. liberal people, greatly
blessed of God, make, at this season,
special offerings which materially aid
in maintaining the Orphans Homes
OF the State. These institutions
merit our most generous, hearty sup
port. They are performing an i'm
pOrtant, necessary service for the
homeless orphan children OF North
Carolina. They are means of bless
ing to many boys and girls and
their influence is being multiplied
through these children. Who can
calculate the beneficent results from
the work of a well-conducted Or
phans' Home? We have in North
Carolina and in other States many
useful, Christian citizens, who, with
out the benefits of such an institu-
ton, would probably be burdens
upon and menaces to the common
wealth. An Orphanage has been one
OF the means employed by God in
rescuing their lives from ruin, in
forming their characters, in saving
and equipping them for service to
Him and the world.
The increased interest in this cause
and the enlarged support to it will
help to improve these institutions
and to extend their usefulness.
Gods approval of this work and
His blessing upon it are clearly seen.
AS He has prospered us and as He
prompt us, responsive, thankful
people, cheerfully and generously
give to aid our Orphanages.
Surely gift for these little ones,
prompted by gratitude, will be &C.
cepted by the Father of the father.
less. Let us remember the orphans
with liberal Thanksgiving Offering.
Nor should we wait for this occasion
to contribute to SO worthy a cause
one that should appeal to us every
day in the year.
