Will Rebuild North Henderson
Church at Once.

The congregation of the North
Henderson Methodist church, whose
house of worship went up in flames
early Saturday morning, were very
graciOusly rendered the use of the old
canning factory nearby, as a tempor
ary place for holding services and
Sunday school until the new church
can be built. The seats, organ and
library were saved from the burning
church, and these have now been
placed in the old canning factory
building and make it quite comfort
able and convenient for the new use
to which it is being put. Sunday
school was held there last Sunday,
and regular services will be held in
the temporary quarters until the
new church is completed.
The new church building will be
erected at an early date and will be
placed on the same lot where the old
one stood, but will be put little
further back, leaving room in front
for church grounds, which will be
laid off and beautifed. 1t will be
more substantial and attractive
structure than the old one, and the
new front will be q decided improve
ment on the old one. The loss of
their church building has thorough
ly aroused the members of this ear
nest little congregation, and it is
with the most admirable zeal that
they have set about rebuilding with
out delay.
At the regular quarterly confer
ence held the first Of the week by Pre-
siding Elder J. E. Underwood the fol-
lowing building committee was ap-
pointed to 60 ahead with the work
OF rebuilding at once: Rev. S. j.
Fitzpatrick and Messrs r. II. Craig,
}. Ii. Bridgers, B. F. Ellington and
S. j. Kelly. Later the committee
organized by electing Rev. S. J. Kill
patrick chairman and Mr.. J. 81.
Bridgers secretary and treasurer.
Work on the new church will begin
at once, and the names of the build
ing committee are sufficient guar
antee that it will be pushed to COM
pletion with rapidity and good
iudpmpnt

We shall have to request CORE
spondents not to report neighbor-
hood visitors. We should be ex-
tremely glad for everybody TO get
their names in the paper, il we were
not greatly pressed for space each
week. Neighborhood callers are not
visitors in the newspaper accepta-
tion of the term. Only those who
come in from a distance or go some
distance from home need be mention
ed. In other words, they should be
real visitors in the community, and
not merely neighbors who call on
neighbors for few hours. The per-
sonal column, when skilfnlly handled,
is right interesting. But when it
gets to be too promiscOus, and is
used only as ali excuse for people to
get their names in the paper, 1T at
once becomes a bore TO most every
body, and makes people smile even
at those whose names are thus
thrown into print. This is one of
the most difficult features of the
newspaper for the editor to control,
because he does not like to offend
people by leaving their names out OF
the paper when they want them in.
1t is by far better, however, to write
less of "visitors," and more about
what people are doing to ''make the
world move"

Good Home Remedies.

The very best cough remedy is a
decoction of wild cherry bark sweet
ened with honey. 1t will cure any
lung trouble in its incipiency.
The herb pipsissewa will cure any
case OF scrOfula, eczema or any other
skin disease. Make a tea and drink
a few spoonfuls three times day.
A pinch of sulphur will cure a bad
case OF collie; horses are cured with a
tablespoonful.
For the young dressmakers, let me
say-dampen the pleats in a dress
skirt with gumarabic water, not too
thick, and when they are pressed
they will remain intact until the dress
is worn out. In making up ging-
hams, don't fail to shrink before cut
ting out. Lay a damp towel over
the goods and run the iron over it.
Then remove towel and iron dry, on
the wrong side, of course.
Don't put moth balls in hens nests;
they iniure the chicks.

People in Henderson who have OF
fices up stairs are face to face with
an absolute nuisance, and one that
very much needs to be wiped out at
once. The indolent negroes about
town make it constant practice to
congregate on stairways and thor
oughly block them for hours at a
time, so that it is next to impossible
for people to get up and down with
any degree of satisfaction at all.
Ladies intending to go up stairways
to Offices on upper floors have not
infrequently been seen to turn away
when confronted by these black loaf
ers who seem to think that stair
ways were constructed for lOung-
ing place for their trifling, lazy bones.
And often when they are asked to
vacate that someone having business
may pass up or down, they proceed
to show all the brazen impudence
they can muster up. The time has
come when if the municipal govern
ment would offer proper protection
to the numerous persons in this city
having their offices or places of busi-
ness up stairs, stop will be put to
this nuisance in short order, by max
ing it a heavy fine to block stair
ways in the business district in the
manner indicated, and by instructing
every police officer to enforce the Law
to the letter. And the Gold Leaf, in
behalf of the sufferers, appeals to the
city government for the much de-
sired and needed relief and that with
out delay.

The Corporation Commission has

In several towns much smaller than
Henderson, but in no case, so far as
We have ever heard, has such action
been taken in the absence of strong
petitionfrom the people of the towns
interested. There is now q growing
demand in Henderson for a union
passenger station, and about all we
shall have to do to get it is to take
some decided action looking to that
end. That the union station is need
edgoes without the saying, and that
We are justly entitled to it must be
plainly apparent to the railroads
themselves. There are few towns, if
any, In North Carolina giving the
railroads more business and getting
less in return for their money in the
way OF improved facilities. The
Gold Leaf is no railroad knocker''
andh has little patience with that sort
OF thing, but there frequently come
times when it is the plain duty OF a
newspaper to "speak up for the
rights OF its town and community.
This We regard as one Of them. We
would not leave the impression on
anyone that the railroads are bad to
Henderson, for We certainly do not
believe this the case. And as for the
local men on both systems there are
no more uniformly courteous and ef-
fcient set OF railroad men to be found
anywhere. Praise to whom praise
is due"

Suppose a man does take a daily
paper or two, is that valid reason
why he should not take his county
paper also? Along with few more
or less interesting items each day,
the daily papers give him lot OF
rubbish that he cares nothing about,
and that is thrown in simply to I'LL
up space, while it tells him very little
and most likely nothing at all about
the affairs of his own county, in
which every good citizen is supposed
to be deeply interested.

Saved by a Dream.

Hugh Larue, a miner employed in
the Cross Mountain nine, believes
he owes his life to dream his wife
had Friday night. When he awoke
Saturday morning and prepared to
go to his daily task in the mine Mrs.
Larue told him she would not pre-
pare dinner for him to carry to the
mines as she did not want him to
work that day. She then recited a
dream she had, giving this as her
reason for asking that her husband
stay out of the mine.
Mrs. Larue said that the night be-
fore, she dreamed she saw scores Of
miners with their heads blown off
being carried out of the mine en-
trance. That she and her little
children. and she has several, stood
at the mines mouth watching the
unfortunate coal diggers being car
rie1 out. She feared for the life Of
her hulband she said. Despite the
fact tn It hehad not missed a day from
his wo.k for many months, he was
Prev lied upon to remain out of the
mines 1t was only short time
after Mrs. Larue recited her story
until he explosion was announced.
With tears'of joy streaming down
her face, she embraced her husband
and thanked God that she had had
the dream. Their little children
gathered about them rejoicing, too.
that their father is yet alive. They
joined in sympathizing with the lit.
tie children who gathered around
the mine entrance. whose fathers
were killed,
