Will Preach Final Sermon Sunday.

Next Sunday will close the pastor
ate of Rev. J. r. Doan at the First
Baptist church. This will cause pro-
found regret to the friends and ad-
mirers of that good man outside OF
the Baptist congregation as we'll as
init. Mr.. Doan is man of fine ability
and agreeable personality, a good
preacher and beloved pastor, and
has made great many friends since
he has been in Henderson.
Some months ago he resigned as
pastor OF the First Baptist church,
much against the wishes OF his con-
gregation and for a time they de-
clined to accept it. He was asked
to reconsider and remain with the
people who esteemed him so highly
and continue the work he was doing
so acceptably. Having taken the
step Mr.. Doan thought it best not to
retrace and the resignation was re-
luctantly accepted. He will go to
South Boston, Va, to become pastor
OF the church there, a work In which
he sees a larger field of usefulness
Next Sunday he will preach his last
sermon as pastor OF the First church
in Henderson.
At the close OF the morning service
the pulpit committee will report, and
perhaps recommend a new pastor.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend both the morning and evening
services.

Sacred Concert at Methodist Prot
estant Church.

Next Thursday evening, Septem-
Der 1st, there will be sacred con-
cert given in the Methodist Protes-
tant church under the auspices of
the Home Missionary Society. Mr..
Hubert Poteat of Wake Forest, and
Miss Eva Minor of Oxford, will be
the principals, assisted by some of
the best local talent. This means
that an entertainment of rare merit
and pleasure may be expected. Mr..
Poteat is splendid performer and
Miss Minor is a gifted vocalist whose
beautiful voice gives pleasure wher-
ever heard.
The concert will begin at $50 and
the proceeds-a free will Offering
will be for the benefit of the Orphan
Asylum recently established by the
Methodist Protestants OF North
Carolina. A most worthy object and
one to which we are sure our people
without regard to denominational
bias will be glad to contribute, even
in slight degree.
The full program will be announced
later. We bespeak for this entertain
ment a generous patronage. AS Is
we'll known our Methodist Protes-
tant friends are great" on music,
and an event of high order of ex-
cellence and musical enjoyment is
promised all who attend.

Buster Browns Philosophy.

Perhaps not one person in dozens
even among the grown-ups who find
pleasure and amusement in the
weekly ''funny" page showing the
doings of Buster Brown and his dog
Tige, ever read the "Resolved" part
af it down in the lower right hand
corner. That is always the meat of
the whole thing-the best part to
those who can appreciate the philoso-
ply of it. Recently after going
through one of his characteristic esca-
pades with his canine chum and boon
companion Buster made this resolu-
tion which the GOLD LEAF fully en-
dorses and commends to US all:
Resolved, That Tige and I are going
to be a terrible, awul good boy. Being
good pays. 1t pays right here and Now'
You get all the reward that's coming to
you and you get it here as we'll as here
after. Today is as much part of eternity
as another day. I'm going to commence
to be happy right now. Why should l
put it off? l don't know anything
about tomorrow. I know that if I
build a house today l will have a home
tomorrow. | know that tomorrow will
be the result of today and the next world
will be the result OF what we do here;
not what we believe, but what we do.
Not what you think you ought to do.
Whatever you SOW you've got to reap.
It's up to you, brother.

Putting Up Cabbage for Winter

A writer in the Rich Square Roam
oke -Chowan Times gives this method
OF putting up cabbage and snap
beans for winter use. We have heard
of corn being kept in the same way
but have never tried it.
Take a keg or barrel, remove one
of the heads, clean out good, take
cabbage and get off all of the outside
leaves like fixing them to cook, quar-
ter, then cut in thin slices like water
melon, thickest part not over X
inches, always try to have some of
the stem OF each slice cut off. Can be
packed in the barrel SO much better.
Put layer of salt in barrel, then layer
OF sliced cabbage until full. Let set
over one night as the cabbage will
settle a lot. After settling down
second time, be sure to put enough
salt to make plenty of brine to cover
cabbage, have some large cabbage
leaves spread over top, have a clean
oak board, (as pine will have a bad
taste) put inside barrel or keg. Put
a good sized rock on board to hold
the cabbage under brine. Cover top
SO as to keep flies out. Snap beans
can be put up the same way. Cabbage
and beans fixed this way are very
fine for winter USE

The Air Brake.

To forget the inventions OF the
hour is an impossibillity. They are
before one at every turn, and many
of them contain pOtentialities vast
and much discussed. For that very
reason it is we'll occasionally to con-
template some invention of the past
which works unremittingly and in
conspicuously for the welfare ofman-
kind. Consider the air brake. How
many when they take Journey by
rail ever take thought of the device
which stands ready to insure safety
from possible accidents? All are so
used to sibilant noise below the cars
that they never consider its por-
tentiousness. Yet by this applica-
tion OF the power OF compressed air
tens OF thousands OF lives have been
preserved and railroad travel has
been made more expeditions. All this
is arrant truism not word of it but
what has been said scores OF times
before. But we like to dwell upon
the air brake as one OF those typical
inventions which are doing their
work faithfully and humbly while re-
cent creations get the glory and ap-
plause.-Collier' Weekly.
If he had never done anything else
the invention of the air brake was sui,
ficient to write the name Of George
Westinghouse high among the
worlds greatest inventors and dis
coverers who have wrought well tor
their fellowmen.
