In Mr.. Hicks article last week an
error occurred as to the height of the
wall of Quebec which in the interest
of keeping history straight, and in
Justice to the writer, it is well enough

high and not 200 as printed-an
error of the printer and not the
writer-which was overlooked in the
proof.
| By the way, what has become of
| that wireless fire ALAN that Hen
derson was to have all free gratis
and for nothing? That is without
cost to the town, Just to demonstrate

since the thing was first sprung upon
the public through an article pre-
pared for and printed in the GOLD
LEAF several months ago.

by the change and returns much
stronger and stouter than when he

DRY to accompany them home.
The New Bern Sun has it's argu-
ment on straight when it says the
papers of large cities are all right if
you want them, but it is your home
paper that advertises your churches,
your numerous societies, sympathizes
with you i'll your Affections, reioices
with you in your prosperity, and
keeps the name of your city before
the public. In short it is the one
paper that mentions the thousands
and one things.
The GOLD LEAF is not boasting
but it doesn't mind saying that it
has been publishing some articles re-
Gently that are worth while-selected
articles and contributions, we mean
No reference is had of course to orig.
inal matter, editorial or local. There
is nothing about that but the regu-
lar weekly monotonous grind but
the work of others which we have
drawn upon has been above the
average, we think,
We wonder what has become O
our entertaining Henderson, CORES
pondent We believe that he has
left our church and joined the NJ. E. s
and we hope he won't permit politics
or law business to take all of his
time. We want to hear from him
