Henderson gold leaf., 1911-08-24


Egg" by Anne Caldwell, which vii
be the attraction at the Grand
Theatre on the night of September
llth. II tells simple story-tnert
ls no attempt at heroics-with just 6
dash OF pathos and plenty OF love
sentiment. Wrapped up in country
habillments and country manners
it brings a laugh at every turn
There are many chances for clever
character drawing in the play and
everything that could be done tc
make the presentation impressive
and true to life has been looked after
with careful attention.
There is a growing custom among
the people of Henderson with refer,
ence to the Gold Leaf that the pub
Usher very much appreciates and
hopes it will continue tOgrOW. Quite
a number of them are good enough
to send their little news items direct
to the office either by mail or by
phone, and in this way the paper
gets many little items that might
otherwise be missed. By mail is the
better way of the two, as in this way
the items can be transmitted ~.
from error, but We are also glad tu
get them by phone and there is al
ways someone here during office
hours to take them. We shall be
very glad for readers of the Gold
Leaf to adopt one or the other OF
these methods, and we promise you
in return not only our appreciation
but the very best service we can give.
The fact that a nice gold watch
was offered to the person who held
the lucky number at the Pastime
Theatre last week, together with the
splendid run of pictures that was on
every night, served to draw large
crowds to that very popular place
of amusement every night in the
week. One or two nights standing
room was at a premium from about
eight till after ten O'Clock, and prac
tically every night found the room
thoroughly packed with people,
many having to wait at the front
until seats inside were vacated. Sat
urday night was the time fixed to
draw for the watch and an unusual
ly large crowd was on hand. When
the draw was made at 9 o'clock that
night, Mr.. John Berkley was found
to hold the lucky number and he
was awarded the handsome gold
watch.
Some sort Of strange animal is
reported to be causing no little ex-
citement near the Duncan old place
over in Warren county. Several diff
ferent parties claim to have gOtten0
glimpse of it, but no one can exactly
describe its appearance. 1t is ex-
tremely wild and feet of foot and
covers fabulous distances in a very
short time No one who has seen it
can even guess what it is. But the
surrounding country is very much
aroused over it, so report says. We
would suggest that this may posi-
bly, be that same "Girutus" that
caused such CONSERVATION over in
the Pleasant Valley section of Ian
caster county, South Carolina, not
so long ago. If it is, you may be as
sured it is a very dangerous animal
and is liable at any time to commit
the most blood thirsty ravages on
the coIOred population. Over in the
Pleasant Valley section it served to
keep the colored people in doors at
night all through the busy season.
That was indeed a beautiful and
impressive service at ElmwOod Gem
etery late last Thursday afternoon
when the very handsome new ell
trance was formally presented to the
Cemetery Association by the Fores
try Committee of the Civic League.
The brief opening address by Mr.. A.
j! Harris, master of ceremonies, was
a gem of beauty and appropriate
ness. Rev l. w. Hughes, of the
Episcopal Church, on behalf of the
committee, presented the entrance
to the association in his most hap
py and impressive style, and Mr.. A.
j. Harris accepted it on behalf OF the
association. Short but very appprO
pirate addresses were made by Revs.
r. NJ. Andrews and r. c. Stubbins, of
the Methodist Protestant Church.
Other speakers on the program were
not present, and all especially re-
gretted the enforced absence of Hon.
James R. Young, president of the
association, who had to be out OF
the State ut the time in connection
with other important matters. Rep
resentatives of the different church
choirs of the city greatly enriched
the service~6y singing a few appro-
pirate selections. While the atten-
dance of the citizenship of the town
was not so large as had been expect
ed, nevertheless there was goodly
number present, and all went away
at the conclusion of the service feel
ing even a deeper interest in the sa-
cred spot that marks the final rest
ing place Of the mortal remains OF
their loved ones.
