Mrs. Hughes, Miss Olivia Lamb and Mrs. S. P. Cooper -played j and sang, "Touting on the Old ! Camp Ground" with the mem-j bers of the camp. i Tile illness of Mr. J. D. Finch, : one of the members, was report- i ed, and the report stated that he was recovering. Other songs were sung, Juam'ta, Annie Laurie, j Kentucky Home and Bonny Bluej Flag. When Mrs. Hughes be-! gan to phiv Dixie dier present stood plauded. Comrade R. A. Bullock sug gested that another dav be nam ed for the regular monthly meet ings of the camp instead of the first Saturdays in each month. The fact that the county com missioners met on the first Mon days made the two days in town come so close together. The commander asked all members to think about the suggestion and report at the next meeting. This is the only camp named for Henry L. Wyatt, and the commander said that he wanted to take his camp in a body to the laying of the corner stone of the Henry L. Vyatt monument, which will be erected in Raleigh early in the coming year. All were urged to make arrange ments to go. It was also decid ed at this meeting that the mem bers would hereafter wear their gray hats with the wreath and U. C. V. to every meeting of the camp, but that the uniforms should be, kept for special occa sions to be worn only when noti fied by the adjutant. Commander Hoover urged the members to bring their wives and daughters to the regular monthly meetings of the camp. The music and singing adds much to the enjoyment of the old soldiers, and the adjutant was asked to get the words of these old songs so that all could learn to sing them together. The commander said that it was a custom to charge for print ing resolutions of respect in the Gold Leaf at the regular adver tising rate, but Mr. Way said, "All resolutions of respect for Confederate veterans will go in the Gold Leaf free of charge as long as I am editor. Write your resolutions and they shall be printed." But the commander said that the death of comrade J. D. Ayscue was so well report ed and so well written in the Gold Leaf that there was no need of resolutions. Nineteen members were pres ent at this meeting and sixteen of these paid their dues. The meeting adjourned with best wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy reunion on Satur day, January Gth. 1912. The members of the camp ac cepted an invitation to attend the moving picture show, and Kerner-MacNair's. where they were served with hot chocolate and coffee. S.

We offer our sincere congratu lations to our neighbor, the Gold Leaf, for its pleasing evidence of material prosperity. New type, new " machinery, a new dress, with Editor Way at the helm, makes a combination that should be gratifying to the stockholders and to the citizens of Henderson and Vance county, and to the brethren of the Press. There is nothing that builds and upholds a community like a live, progres sive newspaper, and the business interests of Henderson and Vance county should feel a pride in the Gold Leaf, which should be evi denced by their whole-hearted support. '"Tis not in mortals to command success; But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it." Baptist State Convention. The Baptist State Convention met at Winston-Salem Tuesday evening. Special Corresponding Secretary Livingston "Johnson' says that in the eleven years since the State Convention met at Winston-Salem before the Baptist denomination in the State has grown from 175,000 mem bers to 250,000, and that instead of $4,000 for missions, as was the case eleven years ago, it is the rise of $100,000 this year. Then Meredith College was just starting with $42,000 debit, which wras raised at that con vention. Now there are four hundred students, and a move ment for $150,000 is well ad vanced. The reports at this con vention are expected to show that the Baptist denomination has made more rapid growth dur ing the past year in this State and that the showing in all de partments of church work will be exceptionally good. The Recorder's Court. Following are the cases disposed of in the Recorder's Court during the past week. Frank Winbush, colored, drunk and disorderly, $10 and costs. Will Overby, colored, drunk and disorderly, $10 and costs. D. D. Hughes, white, false pretense, three months on the roads. Hugh Kittreli, white, drunk, judgment suspended on payment of costs. Henry Bullock, colored, gamb ling, $5 and costs. Jim Davis, colored, nuisance, six months on the roads. John Burton, and Ed Fain, both colored, fight, $15 and costs. Ed Fain, colored, forcible tres pass, two months on the roads. John E. Burton, colored, drunk. $5 and costs. Ruben Debnam, white, retail ing, six months on the roads. Mr. T. B. Parham, Jr., and Mr. Beverly Parham attended young people's meeting at r Valiey church Sunday mgnt. I agree with the editor of the Gold Leaf aTout the word "Christmas." It is a shame to write that sacred word "Xmas." I never could see how that spell ed Christmas. Mr. Willie Parham and rami ly, of the Spring Valley neigh borhood, visited relatives in this community Tuesday. Mr. Par ham was soliciting subscriptions for the Gold Leaf. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Satterwhite, of Manson, Mr. Charlie Satter white, of Baltimore, Messrs. John and Clyde Satterwhite, of Henderson, visited at Mrs. J. P. Satterwhite's Tuesday. The people of this community are sorry to give up Rev. R. C. Stubbins, who has been pastor of Flat Rock church, and his ex cellent vife and little child. They made many friends in this .neiirh7.:ijhood r .who wish- them much success in their new home. Messrs. Norwood Thomas and Sam Allen, of Henderson, Messrs. Willie Parham, Herbie Houghtalling, Perry, Charlie and Joe Basket, of Spring Valley, with their pack of hounds and Mr. BeverlyParham's dogs hunt ed rabbits last Thursday on the Royster old place. They were not very successful, catching on ly nine. Messrs. Tom Wiggins, Taylor and Alvis Turner, of Fleming ton, and Mr. Henry Satterwhite went rabbit hunting Saturday afternoon and in less time than three hours caught eleven rab bits. The Turner and Wiggins dogs, joined by the Satterwhite and Parham dogs are hard to beat in a hunt of any kind, es pecially wrhen old Lee SwTeeper and Racket are in the race. The hunters used sticks instead of guns for the rabbits are better killed without shooting them. This race never-say-di on. T'ontp 4- ii Much of the good advice hand ed vou won't hold water. Meeting of Tuesday Club. The Woman's Tuesday Club held its last meeting with Mrs. J. T. Alderman, who delightfully entertained the members ,at her home on Turner avenue. The following program was carried out: Paper, A journey to the Hebrides, Mrs. J. W. Morgan; paper. The Orkneys and the Shetlands, Mrs. C. M. Cooper: reading, A Princess of Thuleand the King of Thule. Mrs. T. M. Pittman; paper, Manx Folklore and Proverbs, Mrs. W. D. Horn er: talk, Iona's Isle, Mrs. J. H. Bridgers. All Glad to Have Them Back. The people of Henderson, ir respective of denominational lines, were thoroughly delighted when they learned that the North Carolina Methodist Conference at Kinston had returned Rev. W. R. Royal 1 and Rev. S. J. Kilpat rick to their respective fields of labor here for another year. Both are earnest, consecrated men "of God who have labored faithfully and acceptably for the advancement of the cause of; Christ and the general uplift of! the city and community, and j they are deservedly popular not i Miss Clara only with their own congrega tions, but with all the people. Therefore it was only natural that the people should rejoice when it was learned for a cer tainty that both were to be with us at least for another year. PERSEVERANCE TKl 7HNG THAT WILL WIN. is going to be won by the determined, red-blooded contestant who puts the most irinuvr in it t.n s are beirinnintr to rt :di: th.-it th led tnat stage where gameness and the ability to start a ter rific pace are the two qualities that are going to win. No man ever did anything worth while by mere accident. The victory over cir cumstances was the result of unswerving purpose. No great thing was ever accomplished by anyone without first overcoming many oostacles and without patience and perseverance. Perseverance is the one pre-eminent, dominating influence that is behind everv tnmg that is worth while in the world. RESOLVE TO WIN AND STICK TO IT. Be absolutely firm and unflinching in your determination to win this race. The contestant who resolves todav, but allows her reso lutions to be changed by the first rebuff, who fluctuates from opin- iuu lu upnnuii, iiom pian to pian, ana veers like a weather vane to every breeze that blows and to every part of the compass, never ac complishes anything. Now that you are in the contest, resolve to day to be the winner and stick firmly to your resolution to the last moment and you will be awarded. Don't allow vour friends to re call, long after the contest has closed, that you started in the race but failed to reach the goal. TURN IN ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS PROMPTLY. Do not hold back any of your subscriptions from one week to an other, but turn them in promptly each Wednesday. To hold them back can only damage your cause, while to turn them all in prompt ly will help you very greatly. No contestant has anything to gain by holding back subscriptions. One of the rules oi' the contest is that all subscriptions must be turned in as fast as they are taken by the contestants. Votes .will not be allowed on subscriptions or re newals that are held longer than one week. NOW IS THE TIME TO GET SUBSCRIBERS. This contest, as you understand, will not go on forever. On the other hand, the end is now not very far off. Now is the time to exert yourself. Go out after subscriptions today and get them. Don't take "No" for an answer, but get a subscription instead. Several contestants arexunning "neck and neck," as will be seen from the figures this week. If you are not ahead this week, you can place yourself in the lead by next week if you will only go at it in earnest. Let that magic word "Work" that has wrought so many wronders in the world's history be your watchword from now until the very moment the contest closes. PRIZES ON DISPLAY. The first prize, a magnificent Cote piano, is on display at Hughes Smaw Furniture Company's Store and we invite the inspection of all who are interested in this contest to stop by and try it. Note its beautiful design and sweet tone. The piano has seven and one third octaves, the keys are made of the best quality of ivory. Panels are hard carved and fall board is of the latest folding pat-. tern. Trimmings are nickel plated throughout. Three pedals in cluding muffler. The case is double veneered in and out and the construction is guaranteed by the maker for a term of ten years. This piano retails in music stores for $400. The very handsome Sideboard, which is offered as the third prize in this contest, may be seen at the Gold Leaf office by anyone in terested. It is a dandy piece of furniture and would be an orna ment to almost any dining room in the land. The fourth prize, an extremely beautiful and lovely Diamond Set Gold Watch, may be seen at the Ellington Grocery Company's store. It has been very greatly admired by all who have seen it. The works are standard. The pretty case is finished in old gold, with a large chip diamond set. The manufacturer's absolute guar antee may be seen in the case with the watch. The magnificent Quartered Oak Bed Room Suit, which is offered as the second prize, has unfortunately gotten delayed enroute, ow ing to the Christmas rush on the railroads, but it will certainly be here right soon, and it will be all that has been claimed for it. The Gold Leaf Publishing Company has gone to a very heavy ex pense to offer these very valuable and costly prizes and carry on this contest. Nothing like it has ever before been attempted by any local paper in this section. In their efforts to establish a first class paper in Henderson and Vance county they should have the earnest support and encouragement of every patriotic and loyal citizen. Every subscriber should pay up whatever amount he may be due and renew at least for a year in advance, and every citizen of the county should be a regular subscriber to his county paper.
