The Gold Leaf

An Honored and Distinguished
Visitor.

General Robert F. Hoke, of Raleigh, the last surviving Major General of the Confederate States Army,
from the State of North Carolina,
paid Henderson a short visit on business, on Wednesday of this week.

This was the first time General Hoke
had stopped over in Henderson within the past twenty years, and he expressed himself as being much impressed with the progress our town
has made during that period.

There is no man in the State of
North Carolina for whom the people
entertain a higher or more affectionate regard. They remember with
sincerest appreciation the great public service rendered by him, not only
during the civil war, but since that
time in the upbuilding and development of our State.

During his stay here General Hoke
was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. C.
Zollicoffer. His many friends were
delighted to see him looking so well.
Long life to him, and may his visits
be more frequent.
