He will visit Gettysburg and walk over
that historic battle field before he re
turns. At the suggestion of a gentleman in
town, Rev. A. It. Shaw, at 11 o'clock
next Sabbath, will repeat a- sermon
which he preached last fall while on a
visit to Henderson. The text is: "All
these things are against me." A spe
cial invitation is extended to afflicted,
grief-stricken friends to hear this ser
mon. The Greensboro Evening Telegram
of the 14th says: Rev. T. M. Jonhson,
of Henderson, has arrived and is con
ducting evangelistic services at Grace
church, preaching his first sermon last
night. Mr. Johnson is a splendid
preacher, and we hope his efforts at
this place will be crowned with great
success. His sermon last night was a
searching aud impressive one.
Mr. T. L. Gooch, one of our intelli
gent and successful farmers, was here
Friday with a lot of tobacco which he
sold at Cooper's for good prices. In
deed, he got a great deal more than he
expected (which is not usually the case)
and was highly pleased iu consequence.
He says he has the best crop of to
bacco he ever made and if it continues
to sell as it has started out he will have
no cause to complain.
Mr. II. R. liishop, of Richmond, who
has been here a couple of weeks with
Mr. D. W. Thayer, State Deputy,
working to organ i.e a Camp of the
Woodmen of the World, went home
Monday. During his stay in Hender
son Mr. Bishop made many friends who
much regretted to see him leave. Mr.
Thayer will remain awhile longer and
he tells us he will have no difticulty in
instituting a good lodge of the order
he represents.
By a mere inadvertence the wrong
word was used in the caption to the
local notice calling attention to the
advertisement of J. J. Thomas & Co.,
Raleigh, last week. They are not
buyers but sellers of cotton, a fact
which was apparent from the reading
of their advertisement, but we deem it
of sufficient importance to refer to the
matter. All that was said as to the
responsibility and reliability of the
linn holds good.
Capt. Shaw's admirable address to
the old soldiers Saturday will be print
ed in full in the Gold Lkak next
week. The speeches of Dr. Hufham
and Rev. James Battle Avirett will be
published also, but it is not likely that
they will all appear at the same time.
These addresses are well worth preser
vation by those who heard them, and
those who did not have that pleasure
should procure a copy of the paper

THE HENDERSON GOLD LEAF
A Successful Young Farmer.
One of the proudest boys we have
fceen lately was a youthful farmer who
had just sold his tobacco crop Friday.
He was Master Terry, the twelve-year-o.d
son of Mr. T. L. Gooch. On a
little over of an acre of land (1,200
hills) he made 271 pounds of tobacco
this year which he sold for $37.95, his
check after payiug warehouse charges
being made out for $35.50. Terry is
an industrious little fellow, intelligent
and manly and bids fair to make a use
ful and honorable citizen. We like to
see parents encourage their boys in
this way. It makes them more self
reliant and more contented with their
surroundings and the calling in which
iney or their lathers are engaged.

Won the $5.00 Gold Prize.
Mr. W. II. Wester, who is both
merchant and farmer, tells us the
Gold Leaf was only correct in part
last week in saying that to Blount
Solomou, colored, was due the credit
for bringing in the first bale of uew
cotton (on Tuesday 7th). Our friend
says he it was who sold the first bale
getting the $5.00 gold piece offered
therefor by the Henderson Cotton
Mills. Mr. D. Y. Cooner was the
buyer, the cotton being purchased for
the mills.
The facts are these: Solomon brought
iu a bale in the seed that morning, but
it appears that those he depended on
were too slow for 'possums and not fast
euough for "coons," hence 'tother fel
low got ahead of him. Knowing a
good thing when he sees it Mr. Wester
carried his cotton to Ollie Powell's
gin, got prompt service and had a bale
on market that afternoon, winning the
prize as above stated.

VETERANS' RE-UNION.
SATURDAY A RED LETTER DAY IH
HENDERSON.
The Old Soldiers Have a Great Time
They Listen to Good Speeches and
Enjoy a Splendid Dinner Pleasant
Re-unlon of Brave Comrades From
Four Counties A Delightful Social
Gathering for the Ladies and Young
flen.
Saturday was a great day in Hen
derson. It was a glorious day because
one 01 the most pleasant and mem
orable in its history.
It was the day of the old soldiers'
re-union and picnic and beside the sev
eral hundred ex-Confederate veterans
present there was a large number of
the younger generation of men together
with many ladies and children a crowd
estimated at 5,000 to do honor to the
occasion.
People came from all over Vance
county, and from Granville, Franklin
and Warren. And better people
brayer and truer men and fairer and
nobler women never met to celebrate
any event anywhere.
As heretofore announced the occa
sion was a re-union of the old soldiers
of Vance county, a movement put on
foot by Henry L. Wyatt Camp of Con
federate Veterans. This having been
decided upon citizens of Henderson
proposed to co-operate with them aud
ask the people of the county to unite iu
a grand basket picnic and barbecue, to
which the ex-Confederate veteraus of
Granville, Franklin and Warren should
be invited also. This was done and
how well the plans and purposes were
carried out, how generally the invita
tions were accepted and how thoroughly
the day was enjoyed by all those pres
ent can testify.
Early m the morning the crowds
began to come in from every direction.
Long before the hour to move to the
picnic ground the streets were thronged
with people. There was the old vet
eran enfeebled by the weight of in
creasing years, many of them maimed
in body, with shattered arm or missing
limb; the sad faced elderly lady with
furrowed cheeks and tear-dimmed eye
who had passed through the trying or
deals of '01 to '65, giving up husband
and sons a willing sacrifice in their
country's cause; the comely matron in
the purity and strength of her glorious
womanhood; the strong young man
and the maiden fair. They were all
here to participate in the festivities of
the occasion and make it what it was
a pleasing and gratifying success in
every particular.
The processiou formed at the South
ern Railroad depot about 11 o'clock
and marched to Swain's grove on the
Southeastern edge of town, passing
along Main and William streets and
Andrews avenue. The place selected
for the picnic was au ideal one. Here
seats had been provided, a stand
erected for the speakers and long rows
of tables built upon which to spread
the bountiful dinner that had been pre
pared to feed the large crowd antici
pated. The processiou moved iu the
following order:
Mounted Police.
Vance Guards, of Heuderson, Capt.
P. T. Jones.
Granville Grays, of Oxford, Capt.
Hugh Skinner.
Then followed carriages with Mayor
Southerland aud Rev. J. D. Hufham,
D. D., and Rey. James Battle Avirett
and Mr. O. W. Blackuall, of Kittrell,
and others.
Henry L. Wyatt Camp of Confeder
ate Veterans followed next under their
commander Gen. W. H. Cheek and
Capt. W. B. Shaw, Adjutant. Riding
by Gen. Cheek's side was his army
bugler Daniel Duke, a brave soldier
and a good citizen.
Fife and drum corps headed by N.
Lehman, a veteran of the Franco-German
war.
Then came the unorganized Confed
erate veterans of the four counties,
while numbers of others did not join in
the parade on account of the warm
weather. It waa au impressive sight
and one that will not soon be forgot
ten. Arrived at the grove the crowd was
soon seated and the exercises com
menced. Gen. Cheek was master of
ceremonies. Rev. J. B. Avirett in an
eloqueut and earnest prayer invoked
the Divine blessing upon all that should
be said aud done, upon the old soldiers
and others present.
The choir composed of a number of
the best voices in town, then sang
"The Old North State," after which
Gen. Cheek delivered the opening ad
dress. It was one of his best efforts,
and those who heard him agreed that
iu this, he had made a valuable ad
dition to the history of the war. Gen.
Cheek took up the real causes which
led to the war aud discussed the issues
before the people prior to the begin
ning of hostilities in an able and suc
cinct manner. The address speaks for
itself and as it is printed in full else
where further comment if our own
would be superfluous.
At the conclusion of Gen. Cheek's
speech the choir sang "The Bonnie
Blue Flag," after which Capt. W. B.
Shaw was introduced as the next
speaker. Those who have heard the
Captain whether before a jury, on the
hustings or elsewhere know his powers
as a pleasiug and able speaker. And
not only did he sustain his well earned
reputatiou on this occasion but he
added fresh laurels thereto. Capt.
Shaw chose as his theme "The Lessous
to be Learned from the War by Re
viewing and Studying the Bravery of
our Soldiers and the Heroism of our
Women." A splendid theme, reguaut
with great thoughts and living truths
a theme worthy of the best efforts of
the genius of man to fittingly portray
in song or story.
How well the speaker measured up
to his subject we will let our readers
judge for themselves as Capt. Shaw's
address will be published in full next
week.
At the conclusion of Capt. Shaw's
speech dinner was announced. Gen.
Cheek stated the order that would be
observed, the veteraus going to the
tables first taking one side, the young
soldiers (Oxford and Henderson com
panies) coming next and then the gen
eral crowd. He assured the people
present that ample provision had been
made to feed everybody and asked that
perfect order be maintained in charg
ing the "enemy" in front of them.
The command was for all to take their
time, capture such "contrabands of
war" as they wanted and then "fall
back" aud let others take their places.
And never were orders more cheer
fully obeyed on a similar occasion .
There was no undue haste, no unseemly
crowding, and all did eat and were sat
isfied. It was a splendid dinner that
was there spread out barbecued shoat,
beef, ham, chicken, breads, potatoes,
pickles, pies, cakes, and other good
1 thiugs in lavish quantity. It was well
'cooked and admirably served one of

the best gotten up and best managed
affairs of the kind we have ever seen.
Great credit is due the ladies and gen
tlemen in town and country to every
one who contributed or helped in any
way for making it the splendid suc
cess and enjoyable occasion that it
was.
After dinner the old soldiers and
others again assembled around the
speakers' stand to listen to two of
North Carolina's broadest-minded, pa-triotic-spirited,
eloquent-tongued, best
loved sons. Both of whom were not
only soldiers of Lee and Jackson in the
Army of Northern Virginia, but who
were and are soldiers of the Cross in the
great army of the God of the universe.
Need we say that we refer to Rev. J.
D. Hufham, D. D., and Rev. James
Battle Avirett?
Dr. IIufham'8 speech was largely of
a reminiscent character. It was full
of innocent humor and tender pathos.
He told anecdotes and quoted poetry('r)
to illustrate his points and kept the
audience constantly convulsed with
laughter. Aud when they were not
laughing they were crying or listening
to the tales of heroism aud fortitude,
of the deeds. of bravery and acts of
brotherly love in wonder and amaze
ment. The speaker started out by saying
to the old soldiers that he saw iu the
morning that they had not lost the
step. "Now I want vou to give the
'Rebel Yell' " said he. "Give it for
the benefit of the people of Henderson
aud Vance county who have given us
one of the finest eutertainments I have
ever seen. Then for the old General
(Cheek). Then for Shaw." And they
did, with a vim and zest that has not
been heard perhaps since the war. The
air reverberated with huzzas that re
sounded across the adjacent fields, over
the hill tops to be caught up by neigh
ing hills aud wafted back until they
slowly died away in the valleys beyond
as faintly fades the breath of the violet
on the bosom of the passing breeze.
Dr. Hufham declared that this was
one of the proudest days of his life. He
paid a loving tribute to the valor and
patriotism of the people of North Car
olina, than whose soldiers none were
braver or better. Slow o auger aud
conservative as they are she has had
the beginning and ending of two wars.
Henry L. Wyatt, who laid down his
life at Big Bethel, was the first ir.an
killed in battle. It was on North
Carolina soil at Bentonville that
the last battle of the war was fought.
These things he said he was just call
ing up out of his memory, and did so
for the purpose of showing the young
meu and boys what manner of men
their fathers were. The bravest men
except these men here (the old vete
raus) and their brothers who have gone
were the Confederate soldiers. Take
the greatest deeds of the greatest men
of the world and he would obligate to
match them by the deeds of a Confed
erate soldier.
The Southern soldiers were the best
in the world, and the North Carolina
soldiers were the best of the Southern
soldiers, said the speaker. We can af
ford to be egotiscal he declared speak
ing of the part the Confederate soldier
has played iu war and iu peace. But
we cannot follow Dr. Hufham all
through 1j is admirable speech and will
give it to our readers in a subsequent
issue.
Rev. J. B. Avirett was introduced
and made a most fervid and eloquent
address. He souuded the keynote in
the first few sentences of his remarks
and kept up interest and enthusiasm
until the close. It was such a speech
as the condition of the times demands
and the regret is that it was not heard
by every liberty-loving patriotic white
man iu the North Carolina. He spoke
chiefly of the things of the present and
of the future as contrasted with those
of the past, and said the issues we are
called upou to face now, the problems
that have yet to be settled, require the
best thought, the coolest heads and
bravest hearts of a united people. The
question of Anglo-Saxon superiority;
the purity and protection of the white
women of the South; the putting a stop
to the perpetration of nameless crimes
by black brutes; these he said were
matters of the gravest consideration to
us all. But we will not attempt a
synopsis of Mr. Avirett's splendid
speech as that would do him injustice.
It was necessary to hear it to fully ap
preciate its beauty of diction, timeli
ness of thought, elegance of deliyery.
It is our purpose to print Mr. Avirett's
speech hence furtheij'comment is not
made.
There were sveral incidents of a
pleasant and interesting nature which
we would like to speak of but space
forbids. Never have we seen people
more patient, respecful and attentive
in listening to speeches than were the
old soldiers. They huug upon the
words that fell from the lips of the
meu they loved and revered, and many
a cheek was moistened with tears.
"The bravest are the tenderest," a
truth that was freshly demonstrated as
we looked into the faces of the battle
scarred heroes who had faced death on
many a hard fought field, or braved the
perils of the march, the camp and a
thousand foes almosfas trying if not as
deadly as the bullets of the enemy.
And thus ended one of the most
memorable and pleasant eveuts in the
history of Henderson aud Vauce county
It was a day of days for the old sol
diers a great day for us all and the
veterans and their friends enjoyed it
to the fullest extent.
