The Gold Leaf learns from what it
considersI a reliable source that the
proposed new railroad from Hender-
son to Castalia, a distance of about
30 miles, is now almost if not alto
gether an assured fact and that con-
tracts for its construction may be
let within the next 60 days. Ii the
road is built from here to Castalia,
it will doubtless be extended from the
latter place to some point on the
Atlantic Coast Line, probably Rocky
Mount. Local capital will be large
ly interested in it's construction.
There will be a special meeting Of

State convention at Wilmington,

! that time.

The Parham- ball games of
last week afforded much amusement
to large crowds of spectators, as well
as to the partici pants themselves.
The largest crowd that has seen a
game in Henderson in long time
saw the Parham and SeabOard

suited in a score of 12 to Z in favor
of the Parham boys. Tuesday af-
ternoon a large crowd witnessed a

call the game on account of the rain
the score was 3 to 3.
Mr.. Edward Lee Knight, of War
rentOn, and Miss Loula Macon Shell
were quietly married yesterday morn
ing at the brides home at Wake
Forest. The marriage was solemn
lied in quiet manner owing to the
illness of the brides sister, Miss
Olive Shell, in a Norfolk hospital
The bride is a neice Of General Fran
els A. Macon and Mr.. Jesse Macon,
of this city, and was until a few
years ago a resident of Henderson.
She is an accomplished and very
popular young lady and has many
friends here and elsewhere. Mr.
Knight is a we'll known young busi-
ness man of Warrenton and holds a
responsible position with the cotton
mill company there.
A REQ automobile truck car, re-
Gently purchased by E. G. Davis &
Sons Co, arrived in Henderson a few
days ago, and is now being used in
delivering goods from their store. 1t
is the first car of the sort to be used
in this city, and is a much quicker,
more satisfactory way of delivering
goods than by the horse and wagon
method. And in this connection we
would call the attention of "Towz9r's g
Friend to the fact that it goes a
long way.toward solving the yexing
problem of "The Negro, the Horse
and the Groceryman." We conf
IDENTIFY predict that within a very
short time the autO-car will be about
the only method of delivering goods
in our cities.
Mr.. R. H. Falkner and Miss Lena
Rains, both of this city, were quietly
married Monday at the home of the
bride, Rev. R. NJ. Andrews, of the
Methodist Protestant Chnrch, per-
forming the ceremony in the pres
ence of only few friends of the
couple. So quiet was the marriage
that not many people knew it was
on hand till it was over with. MIR.
Falkner holds responsible position
with the city fire department, having
charge of the station, the horses and
all the fire-fghting appliances OF the
department, and it is he who always
rushes the big combination chemical
wagon to the fires. His efficiency and
his genial disposition have both to-
gether made him very popular with
the department, and he has many
friends in the city who are not mem
bers OF the fire company. The bride
is a most excellent young lady, anC
she too has great many friends.
