Very Cheap Rates to Atlantic City

Attention is called to the advertise
ment announcing very low rates to
Atlantic City and return via Seaboard
Air Line, August 23rd. Fare from
Raleigh, Wake Forest, Franklinton,
kittrell. Henderson, Oxford Durham.
S11.00. From Sanford. Moncure,
Apex, S1150 Tickets good 15 days
from date of sale.
By paying the Pullman charges
tickets will be good in Pullman ears.
StOp-over permitted at Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington and Rich
mond on return trip, just SO passen-
ger reaches starting point ID days
from date of sale of ticket
Ordinarily cheap rate excursion
tickets are not good for Pullman
accommodations or stop-over privi-
leges, but not so on this low rate ex-
cursion the Seaboard is going to give
to Atlantic City on the %.
This will afford an unusual op-
portunity to visit this fashionable
and popular resort on the Jersey
coast, and no doubt a great many
persons hereabouts will take advan-
tage of it. Think of making the
round trip for $1100-about as
cheap as staying at home and safer
and more pleasant than riding a
"side door Pullman"

Tribute of MIR. W. w. Reavis.

Weldon, N. c., August Is, 1910.
Mr.. Thad R. Manning,
Henderson, n. e.
My dear Mr.. Manning:
Reading your paper which | always
do with avidity, pleasure and profit, |
learn of the death OF Mr.. W. W. Reavis.
A truly good man has passed away. one
for whom l entertained the highest re-
spect and esteem. When l opened the
bank in Henderson in 1882, Mr.. Reavis
erected for me the building where now
stands the handsome Methodist Protes-
tant brick church and where the bank
was conducted five years. In all our
business, Mr.. Reavis was the soul Of hon
or and fair dealing. | never heard him
speak an unkind word of anyone and
both he and the late Mr.. Sam Allen were
never so happy as when they were doing
some act of kindness or charity to their
neighbors. Mr. Sam Allen was also one
of natures noblemen; they were devoted
friends and now that both have died, we
may console ourselves with the reflection,
that they are united again Sin the bless
ed abode reserved for those who die in
the Lord"
| ask permission to bear this brief tes-
timonial to the worth and excellence of
two friends who have gone out into ''the
silent beyond" Yours truly,
WM. II. S. BURGWIN.

During the severe wind and thun-

of last week, lightning struck the
residence of Mr.. l.. j. Gupton on

killing a COW and two shOtes also.
Another house in the neighborhood
was struck also but no serious dam

Made $50 Mile Trip on otorcycle.

Mr.. Clifton Bullock OF New Haven,
Conn, who has been out visiting his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Bullock, near
WILLIAMSBURG, left on the NOrthbOund
train yesterday on his return home. He
paid the GOLD LEAF office an agreeable
call while here to renew his subscription
and having learned that he made the
trip on a motorcycle we pumped" him
for a little information about the trip.
He was six days on the road whereas he
had calculated to make it in four. Bad
roads in some places-mud and sand-ac-
counted for the loss OF time. Mr.. Bullock
says that between New York and Wash
ingtOn the roads are fine But from
Washington to Richmond Don't men
tion the subject in discussing good roads.
They are perfectly awful" and from
RichmOnd to Emporia they are nothingto
boast of. But from Emporia to Roanoke
Rapids he found the roads very good.
From there on to Henderson in North
Carolina they were all right-in keeping
with the spirit of progreessiveness for
which the Old North State is noted.
The distance Travelled by Mr.. Bullock
was 637 miles as indicated by his speed
ometer. The first day he made II miles,
the second day 11S. The poorest record
was bO miles, and lO miles walked,
between Washington and Emporia On
this stretch he encountered sand and
mud greatly retarding progress. One
novel experience was having to ford
stream. Finding himself up against
proposition of this kind, waiting for the
waters to subside or go back consider
able distance to the only place he had
seen that promised chance of putting
mn. af hn ctrinnn6 off aD5 oarriaH his
bicycle over on his shoulders. Then
he went back and got his clothes, dress
ed and was off again on his trip. Mr..
Bullock carried suit case behind him on
his wheel and says he enjoyed the trip
throughout. The only thing lacking to
make it altogether pleasant was COM
pany. He would have appreciated the
