Prof. S. Simpson.

On the return trip from Flori-
da to their home in Carroll county,
Maryland, Prof. S. Simpson and
wife stopped over in Henderson
for a few days for a visit to Mrs.
Simpsons brother, Mr.. L. R.
Gooch. Prof. Simpson is a ma
tive of Rockingham county, and
was educated at Trinity College,
from which institution he gradu-
ated about the year 1873. For
ten years afterward he was at
the head of the Methodist Prot
estant school at Yadkin college,
near Lexington.
On a visit to this community
looking for pupils in the year
1875, he was stricken with ty-
phoid fever, and fingered long on
the verge of death in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. K. w. Coghill,
near Kittrell, and was nursed
back to life and health by them
and Sheriff E. A. Powell, being
under the skilled treatment of
DR.. Robert J. Gill. Late the
next year he was married to Miss
Ella Gooch.
About the year 1888 Prof.
Simpson was elected to a pro-
fessorship in the church college
at Westminster, Md, which posi-
ton he filled for fifteen years.
For the last ten years or more he
has been county superintendent of
schools Of Carroll county, Mary
land, a large and wealthy county
having an immense school fund.
In that capacity he has had much
to do with shaping the law and
policy of the public school system
of the State.
Prof. Simpson has, perhaps un-
known to most of the people of
this community, exercised some
influence over its life. Among
many others, it is recalled that
Messrs. R. R. Satterwhite, W. T.
Stainback, A. J. Harris, S. J.
Reavis, T. T. Hicks, all of this
community, Col. A. A. Hicks, of
Oxford, Prof. G.. w. Gooch, now
Of Los Angles, Cal, and the late
Rev. w. L. Harris were all his
pupils and were by him greatly
stimulated and helped for the
duties of citizenship and life's
work.

Another Big Rabbit Hunt.

Correspondence of the Gold Leaf.
Frank and Dan are still the
leading dogs in our rabbit hunts.
They are two of the best rabbit
and 'possum dogs in Vance coun-
ty. One day last week on the
hunting grounds Of Mr.. Henry
Shanks, there was another big
rabbit hunt by the same trio,
Messrs. Louis Shanks, Peter and
John Mcmillan went out hunting
and their luck this time was
thirty-four rabbits and three
birds. The boys as well as the
dogs must be number one hunters
to take in so much game. Boys,
go hunting again and let US hear
from you next time.

hope that 1912 will prove to be a
very prosperous year to our
county paper, and we wish the
worthy editor a merry Christmas
and a happy New Year.
Christmas will soon be here
with all its pleasures for some
and sorrows for others. Many
hands and heads have been busy
for some time preparing gifts for
loved ones. A Christmas gift
should always be accompanied
with love.
Rev. J. A. Burgess, the new
pastor of the Vance circuit,
preached his first sermon at Flat
Rock church Sunday. His ser
mon was very fine, and it is be-
lieved that he will give general
satisfaction and make a good
pastor. Rev. Mr.. Burgess was
the guest of Mr.. John Reavis
while in this community.
A coon has been bothering the
people around Middleburg for
some time. Last Thursday night
Messrs. Tom Wiggins, Bev. and
Sam Parham, Alvis, John and
Taylor Turner and their dogs
went out to catch the coon.
They had a fine chase after which
they were sure they had caught
the gentleman. All rushed ur
to the dogs. You may imagine
their chagrin and disappoint-
ment when they found it was ar
old black cat and not a coon.
But they caught two very fine
'possums, weighing ten pounds
each, which compensated then
for the loss of the coon.

A SPLENDID SHOW COMING.

When the sons of men go forth
to war they have never lacked a
leader. For sailing the unplumed
seas and daring the rim of the
world there are gentlemen aplen-
ty to take the trail. Such a man
was Daniel Boone. When he
blazed the trail into Kentucky
this mighty hunter had no army
at his back and his object was
the opening up Of a virgin ter
ritory for an oncoming race.
The history of no man is filled
with the adventures, hairbreadth
escapes and almost unbearable
trials as that of Boone. With
his trusty rifle, his knowledge of
woodcraft and his ability to earn
the friendship of the savage In
dians he opened up that fertile
spot known as Kentucky. The
play of Daniel Boone on the
Trail that comes to the Grand
Theatre depicts a most interest
ing part OF this most exciting in
vasion. There are heart thrills a
plenty. At his council of war
with the chiefs of the tribes of
Shawnee Indians you will see the
methods used by the savages in
their dealings with the white
race. Never before on any stage
has any such thrilling scene been
shown as where Boone grabs the
hand of Blackfish and stops him
from hurling defiance against the
forces of CORVALLIS. In present
ing this great historical play,
Manager Harris carries a pack of
wild Siberian wolves, a tribe of
full blood, blanketed Sioux In
dians. These features are work
ed into the many different scenes
of the play.
