Henderson gold leaf., 1911-07-06

Almost every day you will hear
some fellow remark that what the
town needs is more pay rolls, which
is all very true. But shrewd busi-
ness men are not in the habit OF max
ing up pay rolls just for the fun OF
the thing. Show them something in
which they can invest their money
with reasonable certainty OF fair re-
turns from the investment. That is
the way TO get your pay rolls.

Did you ever go to picnic out in
the country and enjoy the many
good things prepared for the occa-
sion by the country ladies? Of course
you have. But if you never did,
then you have certainly missed a
good part OF your life. The farmers
of Vance county are today holding a
big picnic at Cooper's grove, a few
miles north of the city, and it is a
safe venture that there were never
more good things to eat brought to-
gether in one shady grove in this
part ofthe State or anywhere else as
for that matter. For more than a
month the farmers OF the county
have been looking forward to this
big picnic and making extensive
preparations for it. 1t would make
a fellow hungry just to get a peep
into one of those big baskets that
were opened up out there today and
their inviting contents spread out
for the purpose OF feasting the inner
man.
A very unique display Of feminine
costumes in one OF the front show
windows of Mr.. Samuel Watkins

no little attention from the large

tween the most fashionable costumes
t worn by the ladies this season an(
), those worn by the ladies of 1716, th
, two figures being attired in the mos

( times. "Miss 1776" wore dress Q

Il was the most stylish costume o
=. colonial times, while "Miss 1911
: wore a peasant waist and hobbl
v skirt, and one of the most stylisl
t hats of the present season. Whei
g the two ladies of the different time
e they represented met face to face AM
"eyed" each other as only ladies can
8 after sigh of thorough disgust
= each said of the other, isn't she
8 firight?" A great many persons
: both male and female, passed out c
} their way to see the quite origina
n and catchy display, and some OF th'
k older men who chanced to pass tha
y way and pause for few moments i
l. front of the figures so differently al
n tired, were heard to sigh for 18th
70 good old days of long ago"
