The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1911-04-06

All display advertisements in the
Gold Leaf will hereafter come at the
rate OF strictly - cents per single
column inch, each insertion, yearly
contract. This is cheap enough.
Advertising space that is not worth
10 cents per inch, both to the adyer-
tiser and the publisher. is hardly
worth bothering with Business no.
tees are worth one cent word each
insertion. Advertising bills are pay
able monthly in cash.
The Aid Society of the Baptist
church met Monday afternoon with
Mrs. ". II. Wester. The literature
for the mission study class has come,
and from now on the two societies
OF this church will meet every second
and fourth Monday afternoon to
study missions. However, the Aid
Society will continue to meet each
first Monday, and the Foreign Mis-
siOnary Society each third Monday,
as heretofore The Sunbeams of the
Baptist church have recently for
warded $3.50 to the famine suffer
ers in China, making $46.25 these
earnest little workers have collected
and sent off for this purpose.
The county Board of Education
held its regular monthly meeting last
Monday. Some routine business Of
minor Importance was transacted,
| and IL special meeting was ordered
for the first Saturday in June, at
| which time committeeman for the
| various districts in the county will
| be appointed for the next two years.
| Fines for the last quarter were re-
| ported turned i'll rs follows: From
Mayor II. r. Powell, $347; from
| Clerk Of Court, $500; from other
sources, 1925, making IL total for
the quarter of $6l9.25. The fines
for the past two quarters are APP
prnXimately ) 900.
The real estate sales of the past
few DAYS afford abundant eviden CO
of the fact that prosperity reigns in
| Vance county and that her people
have plenty OF faith in Henderson
and Vance county dirt. The Barnes
old home place III North Henderson,
sold by Mr. A. t. ZpllicoffAr to Mr..
II. T. Hicks Just II few days ago,
brought $l,S15, being II fraction
over 500 per acre. Mr. A j. Harris
sold lib acres near Dabnev to Mr.. l..
w. Huff for 2,715. Capt w. +. Wood
lately bought from Mr.. f. G. Lands
what is known as the Will Young
place, on Burwell Avenue, for 81
| 500
The corporate limits of the city OF
| Henderson have not been extended,
as some seem to think, but the iuris-
dictiun of the Recorders Court has
Teen enlarged to cover the entire
| county, and whereas it formerly had
jurisdiction only to punish Offender S
to extent of $50 fine or 30 days in
Jail, it now has power to try all cases
below felony. This additional au-
thority was given by special act oI
the last General Assembly, and vii
not only save money to the county
but will prove of decided benefit il
many ways. At present Granville
county is paying Vance sos amOntl
for the work of our cOnvicts. Under
the old law all such offenders were
detained in the Vance county Jail al
Il dead expense to the tax payers.
Reports from almost every part o
the county Indicate that the big
storm which swOOped down upon III
about the middle of last week wa!
one of the most severe and injurious
to property that has come this way
in II long time. The topof the Park
box factory ut Bear Pond was lifteo
of, while near WILLIAMSBURG, Dabney
and BrOdie large trees were torn ant
uprooted. About five miles from tn,
city, i'll II southpasterIy direction
large numbers of trees were blown
down and piled pelImell along TIL
road. At Wise the roof of the schOO
house was blown Off, and at NOriin;
; the coal chute. was badly damaged
l The gale, although obstructive t.
property, last but n few minutes. s.
r for us is known, no one was hurt il
| the storm.
