It., received at this ollice.
Headers of the (Jold Leaf are apt to
miss something good by not reading
the "Business Locals" each week.
Sometimes there are not ho many of
these, but this column always con
tains something of interest. Better
get in the habit of noticing it care
fully each week.
A great many people from Hender
8 n and anew county attended the

a splendid time, but an extremely

How many good people in Hender
son and Vance county, who are not
already subscribers to the Gold Leaf.
are willing to encourage the effort to

siTllitlOUS at once? Y nr iminrr tn I

this extent let us hear from them
within the next few days.

Good rains fell in different parts of
the county Tuesday night and again
Wednesday afternoon. While they
were not general over the county,

profession here since his graduation
A number of persons both in and
out of Vance county have already
taken advantage of our combination
offer of the Gold Leaf and the Pro
gressive Farmer both one year for
only $ 1.C5. Suppose you look up
the same offer elsewhere in this paper
and take advantage of it. It is one
of the very best that will ever come

The Gold Leaf learns from what it
considers a reliable source that the
proposed new railroad from Hender
son to Castalia, a distance of about
30 miles, is now almost if not alto
gether an assured fact and that con
tracts for its construction may be
let within the next GO days. If the
road is built from here to Castalia,
it will doubtless be extended from the
latter place to some point on the
Atlantic Coast Line, probably Rocky
Mount. Local capital will be large
ly interested in its construction.
There will be a special meeting of
Henry L. Wyatt Camp at the court
house next Saturday at 11 o'clock,
which all the members have been re
quested to attend. At this meeting
arrangements will be made to send ;
representative from this camp to the j
State convention at
vt liumigtou,
: a. i
August 2nd and ilrd, and it is hoped
that the camp can arrange to attend
in a body and help to make up the
20,000 veterans that the Cape Fear
Camp is preparing to entertain at
that time.
At a recent meeting of Henderson
Lodge, A. F. & A. M. No. 229, the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: Jos. b. noyster, Wor
shipful Master; G. A. Lowry, Senior
Warden; B. II. Perry, Junior W arden;
A. J. Harris, Treasurer; R. B. Crow
der, Secretary. The lodge had a
good year under the administration
of the retiring Worshipful Master,
Mr. J. B. Owen, who turns it over to
his successor in fine shape. A num
ber of young men have been initiat
ed during the past year.
The Parham-Rose ball games of
last week afforded much amusement
to large crowds of spectators, as well
as to the participants themselves.
The largest crowd that has seen a
game in Henderson in a long time
saw the Parham and Seaboard
game Monday afternoon, which re
sulted in a score of 12 to 7 in favor
of the Parham boys. Tuesday af
ternoon a large crowd witnessed a
game between the railroad boys and I
the Croatan Club. When forced to i
call the game on account of the rain j
the score was ; to .'1. !
Mr. Edward Lew Knight, of War
renton, and Miss Loula Macon Shell
were quietly married yesterday morn
ing at the bride's home at Wake
Forest. The marriage was solemn
ized in a quiet manner owing to the
illness of the bride's sister, Miss
Olive Shell, in a Norfolk hospital.
The bride is a neice of General Fran
cis A. Macon and Mr. Jesse Macon,
of this city, and was until a few
vears ago a resident of Henderson.
She is an accomplished and very
popular young lady and has many
friends here and elsewhere. Mr.
Knight is a well known young busi
ness man of Warrenton and holds a
responsible position with the cotton
mill company there.
A Reo automobile truck car, re
cently purchased by E. G. Davis &
Sons Co., arrived in Henderson a few
days ago, and is now being used in
delivering goods from their store. It
is the first car of the sort to be used
in this city, and is a much quicker,
more satisfactory way of delivering
goods than by the horse and wagon
method. And in this connection we
would call the attention of "Towzer's
Friend" to the fact that it goes a
long wayitoward solving the vexing
problem of "The Negro, the Horse
and the Grocerymau." We confi
dently predict that within a very
short time the auto-car will be about
the only method of delivering goods
in our cities.
Mr. R. II. Falkner and Miss Lena
Rains, both of this city, were quietly
married Monday at the home of the
bride, Rev. R. M. Andrews, of the
Methodist Protestant Chnrch, per-
forming the ceremony in the pres- j
ence of only a few friends of the
couple. So quiet was the marriage
that not many people knew it was
on hand till it was over with. Mr.
Falkner holds a responsible position
with the city tire department , having
charge of the station, the horses and
all the fire-fighting appliances of the
department, and it is he who always
rushes the big combination chemical
wagon to the fires. His efficiency and
his genial disposition have both to
gether made him very popular with
the department, and he has many
friends in the city who are not mem
bers of the fire company. The bride
is a most excellent young lady, and
she too has a great many friends.

FIRE AT NORTH HENDERSON.
Three Dwellings, Two Stores and
Methodist Church Go Up In Flames.
North Henderson was visited early
last Saturday morning by a very
destructive tire, in which a young
cirl perished, aud three dwellings, i
two stores and the North Henderson i
Methodist church were burned. The I
fitrtn r9 . l-l l..IIT.. svTnl'd 4-AililA !
. . J - . .
deatn is told in detail in another -
column. Several stores and dwell- j
inga barely escaped destruction, eome j
of the3e catchin on fire at different
times. Indeed it looked at one time j
as if a good portion or North Uen-
jderson was in imminent danger of
being wiped off the map. The big
I Henderson Cotton Mill, although on
I the other side of the railroad, was in
! the direct path of the flames, and
owing to the constant rain of sparks
on its roof, was considerably en
dangered. The buildings destroyed
were constructed mostly of heart
pine and burned like tinder. There
was a right stiff breeze most of the
time from the southwest, a;. I
air was full of flying sparks and cuu.-,
there being in consequence an almost
ceaseless rain of fire in the immediate
vicinity.
The fire originated in some un
known manner in the cook room of
the cottage occupied by the family
of Mr. George P. Pearce, and was
first discovered about 1 o'clock a.
in., it having already made so much
headway that the kitchen was fall
ing in and other parts of the house
were burning. The fire alarm was
exceedingly late in being turned in,
and this taken in connection with the
fact that the fire was about a mile
from the fire station, even consider-
ftb, y bevond the corporate limits of
th(f -t n1 onm- - u d ,

impossi-
i ble for the firemen to arrive with any
I thing like their usual promptness,
j And even when they did arrive upon
j the scene thejT were greatly handi
I capped from the very start. They
j could lay only one line of hose pipe
and that an extremely long one. the
water main out there is very small
and they could therefore get only
moderate pressure. Hence the, fire
men were almost powerless to do
much toward subduing the sea of
flame that raged furiously for more
than an hour.
From the three cottages burned
the flames were quickly communicat
ed to the store of Gill Bros., which
wasa good sized frame structure.
Here the firemen made a desperate
effort to hold them in check and if
possible save the Methodist church,
which was next in line and only a
few steps distant. But the fire here
became intensely hot, and a stiff
breeze kept blowing it over on the
church. Still it was hoped until the
last moment to be able to save the
house of worship by keeping it as
thoroughly drenched with water as
possible, and by quenching the fire
on the side of the burning store next
to it. But the roof of the church,
which was of pine shingles, was al-
ready fairly smoking and stewing
when a sudden puff of wind sent a
long blaze from the store directly
over on it. In less than a minute s
time it was ablaze iu a half dozen
different places, and there was noth
ing left to be done to it but to carry
out the organ, the benches, etc., and
let it go. Wortham's store was next
to burn. But here, by concentrated
fighting, the flames were permanent
ly checked and stopped. House's
store just across the road from
Wortham's caught on fire perhaps
as many as a half dozen different
times, but was extinguished by per
sons who climed up on the roof with
buckets of water.
Two of the cottages burned be
longed to Mrs. W. T. Carter, and
were occupied by Mr. George P.
Pearce, Mr. Pharaoh Lamb and Mr.
James Journegan, the last two
named living in the same house.
Mrs. Carter estimates her loss on
boUi cottages at more than $1 ,000,
with only f COO insurance on both.
The Pearce family lost everything,
with no insurance. James Journegan
lost most of his things, with no in
surance. Pharaoh Lamb lost about
half his household goods, with no
insurance. The next dwelling to
burn was the five-room cottage of
Mr. George Wortham, who also lost
his store. He lost most of his house
hold goods, and saved most of his
stock from the store. His loss is
stated at $800, with no insurance.
Gill & Carapany lost their store
building and about half its contents.
They estimate their entire loss at
about $3,000, with $1,200 insurance.
The Methodist church was valued at
about 2,500, with $1,300 insur
ance. It required 1,350 feet of hose to
reach from the last hydrant on Gar
nett street to the scene of the fire.
Death of Mr. James P. Satterwhite. ,
Mr. James P. Satterwhite, who was i
one of the best known and most '
highly respected citizens of the north- j
ern part of this county, died at his'
home six miles from this place,
Wednesday, June 21st. Mr. Satter-;
white was about 04 years old, and ;
had been in feeble health for several
years. During the past few years he :

Owing to a fog, a steamer stopped
at the mouth of a river. An old lady
inquired of the captain the cause of
the delay.
"Can't see up the river," replied the
officer.
"Bat, captain, I can see the stars
overhead, she argued.
"Yes," said the captain gruffly,
"but until the boilers burst we ain't
a-going that way."
Few people laugh and grow fat
when the joke is on them.
