To Keep the Streets Clean.

The Town Commissioners at their
meeting Monday night did a thing
for which the GOLD LEAF wants to
thank them-fcr itself and in behalf
of the ladies and citizens generally.
1t was the adoption of can Ordinance
for the protection of the pavements
and sidewalks of the Town of Hen
derson," which reads as follows:
SECTION l. That it shall be unlawful
for any person to throw or place any
fruit peel waste paper, trash, glass. rub
bish or filth of any kind into the street,
or. to expectorate upon the pavement of
any sidewalk within the Town of Hen
darsOn.
This ordinance will be effective
from and after the first day of Feb
ruary. A good law and one that
ought to have been in effect long
ago as far as throwing thrash on the
streets is concerned. And since the
streets have been paved if people will
not avoid splitting on them for de-
cency's sake IA law is necessary to
compel them to do so. Receptacles
will be placed at convenient points
on tho streets for trash to be thrown
into and persons who cultivate the
splitting habit must either swallow
their AMBER or step to the gutter to
let it go. Don't expectorate on the
sidewalk if you expect to rate well
and want to avoid trouble

THE FREMONT STOCK co.
Press Notices of the Attraction at
Cooper Opera House Next Week-A
Company of Capable Players Pre-.
senting Royalty Plays.

The following press notices OF the
Fremont Stock Company, which will
open a three nights engagement at
Cooper Opera House next Thursday,
Feb. LIST. will give an idea of what is
in store for Henderson theater goers:
The Staunton (Va.) Leader, OF
Jan. 2nd, says:
Under the Lion Paw" the initial Of
fering of the Fremont Stock Company,
pleased arge audience at the Beverly
Theatre last night, as it was presented
in a capable manner, with all the sensa-
tional situations and thrilling scenes
that even the gallery gods could desire.
The audience was an appreciative one
and was well pleased with the perform
ance.
The specialties between the acts were
clever in the extreme. Mr. Cash's solo
work is OF high order. and the ''Whang-
doodle Trio is inimitable. Their songs
were of the humorous variety, and were
the source of constant laughter on the
part of the audience.
Miss Marston is the best female cOntor-
ZIONIST ever seen here. Her performances
are wonderful, and she is the imperson-
alton of ease and grace.
This from the Dispatch of the same
CITY:
The company is good one far above
the average repertoire company, and
many amusing specialties were intrOduc-
ed between the acts. There is surely
more than moneys worth.
The Cumberland Md Evening
Times says:
The performance was pleasing through
out. Mr.. Burleigh Cash made a good
impression, both by his work in the role
of the drama and also by his singing. He
is the possessor of a remarkably fine
heavy baritone voice. The Kershaws
old favorites here, are also with the COM
pany.

A BELATED REPORT.
Excellent Showing Made by Hender-
son Station and flission During the
Past Year as Reported to Conference
by DR.. Nash.

When DR.. Nash returned from Con-
ference at Wilson we asked him some
thing about the report he carried up
from his church. He informed us
that 1T was a good One-the best ever
made from this charge, in fact. At
this we were gratified, but not sur
prlsed. As a matter of news, show
ing the work and growth of the Meth
odist church in Henderson, DIR. Nash
was requested to give us a synopsis
OF his report for publication. He did
SO and until few days ago we were
none the wiser that it had not been
published. 1t seems we had taken
the memorandum from our pocket
along with some other papers and in
the ordinary course of business over
looked it altogether. Saturday we ac-
cidentally tished it out from its hid
ing place. 1t is not often we do things
like that but this is one time we did.
And although publication has been
deferred the information conveyed is
none the less interesting and will be
news to many. We qnote:

tinues few years longer, there will be

DR.. Nash tells us the Conference is
still praising the elegant entertain
ment given it here last year, and will
delight to return to Henderson again
when the opportunity is offered
Needless to say DR.. Nash is much
gratified at being returned here, and
expects one of the best years of his
life. Henderson is a good town and
is getting better all the time, he says.

CHEAP AND DURABLE PAINT,
A Mixture the Composition of Which
Is Simple and inexpensive that Ad.
mirably Serves the Purpose of Reg
uIar Paint.

1t will be recalled that some tine
last summer the GOLD LEAF publish
ed the formula of cheap and dura-
BILE whitewasll-paint, as furnished by
correspondent of the Lexington
Dispatch This was stated to be the
same as used by the government on
all the lighthouses and similar build
ings because it withstands the effects
OF dampness better than regular
paint, The correspondent had used
this paint andspoke from knowledge
and experience, declaring that it will
give perfectly white finish and last
for seven or eight years, preserving
the buildings from decay as well as
greatly enhancing their beauty.
The matter is brought up again by
Mr.. Gerald Mccarthy, of the State
Department of Agriculture, who
writes to the Raleigh Times and gives
the recipe in response to frequent de-
mands from the country people for
cheap and lasting whitewash, thus
giving it his official Reimbursement. We
publish it again for the benefit of our
readers:
Half bushel of unsacked lime. Slack
with warm water. Cover it during the
process to keep in the steam. Strain tie
Hquld through fine sieve or strainer
Add peek of salt previously well dis
solved in water, and three pounds Of
ground rice boiled to a thin paste and
stirred in boiling hot; half pound of
powdered Spanish whiting and a pound
of glue which has been previously dis
solved over a slow fire. Add hot water
to make five gallons of the mixture Stir
well and let it stand for few days COW
cred up from the dirt 1t should be put
on hot. One pint of this mixture will
cover square yard properly applied
Small brushes are best.
This forms a brilliant and very de-
sirable paint for inside or outside
use. 1t is better than lead paint for
localities near the seashore.
The composition of this paint is
very simple and it is cheap enough
to be within the reach of every one
The Dispatch correspondent esti-
| mated that the cost of the whole
thing five gallons) will not exceed
60 or Is cents. The only variation
in the two recipes is that his calls for
two pounds of glue while Mr. Nc
Carthy's has but one We take it,
| however, that two pounds of glue
| would be better than one. The prep
| aration does as we'll on an old house
as a new one.
Any desired color may be obtained
by adding from one-half to one gal
| Ion of ordinary store paint.
