Getting Ready to Build.

Work will soon be begun on Mr..
R. }. Corbitt's new residence in
the Western part of town. Material
is being placed on the ground pre-
paratorv to building. Mr.. W. H.
Fogleman will superntend the work
which will not be let to contract,
Mr.. Corbitt preferring to build ac-
cording to his own notion. Mr..
Fogleman was superintendent under
Mr.. Lineberry in doing the work on
Mr.. Zollicoffer's residence, a job
which speaks for his skill and ability.
The plans and specifications show
that Mr. Corbitt's new residence will
be one of the handsomest and most
costly homes in Henderson.
The GOLD LEAF is glad to see such
improvements going on in our town
and congratulates Mr. Corbitt upon
the undertaking he is entering upon.

They Had a Good Time.

The Zollicoffer "boys''-A. c.. Gus
and Jerre-have returned from their
trip to New York, Atlantic City and
other places where they have been
sightseeing, pleasure seeking and
recreating From all accounts they
had Il pleasant time, but it is yet an
unsettled question as to who had
the best of it, the "old man. in Civ
ing the ''boys' a good time, or these
two ''innocents" in setting the pace
for him. But they had good time
all together-and there is nothing
finer than a father playing the role
of boy with his sons and getting
pleasure in giving pleasure to them.

Was an Error.

In the article last week about the
town tax levy and the falling off lin the
assessed valuation from last years
taxables, the amount should have
been $21. 900 instead of 500, 900 as
published. 1t was so Written in the
proof but correction was not made.
The exact amount of loss was SOL
7O3, due to a smaller amount OF
solvent credits, cash on hand, etc,
being listed for taxes this year. AS
stated last week there was a sub
stantial gain in the assessed valua-
tion of real and personal property
over last year, but this was more
than offset by losses from other
sources.
