1895-12-05 - Henderson Gold Leaf

  • H. T. Watkins, trustee, selling stuff
  • Thanks-Giving, that new holiday
  • Samuel Watkins’s has great cape-making materials such as Astrachan
  • A Rabbi from Richmond: Rabbi E. N. Calisch of Congregation Beth Ahabah led services for the Jewish citizens of Henderson. (At the Baptist church. Apparently not long before, a Baptist church some ways away had burned down and the closest synagogue had offered their space for worship while it was rebuilt, so this was a gesture of thanks)
  • SELFISH MEN, an ad with a drawing of Fish Men, for Watkins’ store
  • Parker’s HEADINE! and COUGHINE!
