Democrats! go earnestly 70 work Tor
yOur county ticket-so much as it has been
deemed best TO put oat. You haye good
honest men in the field, and such as every
| white man can support conscieEtiously.
| Let US elect Burgwyn and Dunn. 1t can
be done if all hands will work for them as
they deserve.
! Every voter should now see to it that bis
name is properly registered, Yoa may
! have registered SO as to vote i'm town cleo
| tion and then be debarred from voting i'm
general election. See Mr.. Claude Hunter
! If you live in North Henderson and Mr..
b. Powell if you live in South Henderson,
and register at once.
| The daily driii OF the Scotland Neck
! Mounted Riflemen, the only cavalry COM
pany in the State, will he an attractive
feature of the Weldon fair next week.
This Will be something new and novel to
many Of our people. Good racing, good
nusic, good exhibits and large crowds will
make up good fair.
Say. friend, have you registered? If you
! have not, do it to-day. Have you register
| ed and afterwaTd changed your place of
residence? If so you must register again.
| No man can vote unless he is registered
for the township in which he lives. Look
into the matter at once. Be sure you are
registered, and be sure you vote.
Low rates of fare will be given over the
Raleigh & CASTOR Railroad to persons at
! 80, Il 4hn oil faip &c tod
that large crowds from this way will be
in attendance each day. The exhibits in
each department promise to be unusually
large and attractive, while the racing is
expected to be better than for years past.
Prof L. H. POunet, who has been in
| structOr of Gloss cornet band for some
months, left for his home in BERTHE county
Monday, to be absent until after the cleo
! ton. The Professor is a good Democrat
as he is a good musician-and goes home
! especially to vote. This is most COM
/ mendable thing for every Democrat to do
! in this election.
| We observe that Dave Whichard of the
+ Greenville Reflector has been feasting on
the celebrated James grapes" We are
, almost envious. Our friend sent us bas-
ket full of this delicious fruit last season,
and it made such lasting impression that
it seems as ii we can almost taste it now
but we can't. Dave is in luck to be SO
near the home of the 'James grape"
Since laying in their new fall stocks the
stores of our merchants present quite an
| attractive appearance. They have put in
large stocks of goods and don't propose to
keep them Oh hand to look at, hence are
selling at very low prices. If you want to
make purchases come to Henderson, and
| always look over the advertising columns
of the GOLD LEAF before starting out.
Henderson should become a popular
winter resort for Northern pleasure seek
ers who wish to escape the rigorous climate
of their higher latitude. We lave every
thing to commend itself to them save the
matter of hotel accommodations alone.
Our town is healthy and the climate is su-
perb-neither too hot nor too cold, and
sportsmen can find plenty of game around
here.
Citizens of Vance county. are you going
to allow such a man as Jim Watson, an ig-
noramus of a negro, to (mis)represent us
in the next General Assembly, and cause
such a man as Col. VIM. II. S. Burgwyn
| to remain at home? The GOLD LEAF hopes
not. Then let us 60 to work and keep at
work until the sun goes down on the day
of election, if we would avert such a catas-
trophe as this.
The attention of the voters of Vance
county is called to the card of Col VIM.
| II. S. Burgwyn which appears in another
column of the GOLD LEAF this week. The
Colonel is candidate for the Legislature
and in the card referred to sets forth his
! position in plain, straightforward and
business like manner, giving good and suf-
ficient reasons why it will be to the inter
! est of the people of the county to elect him
| The Richmond excursions took away q
! number of our citizens to see the big EX-
! position yesterday. Both the Richmond &
I Danville and Raleigh & Castor roads ran
special trains. Fare for the round trip, in
i GLIDING one admission to the Exposition
grounds, was S3.25. Very reasonable, that,
but we never had the benefit of such low
rates until competing line was estab-
liShed. Who cannot see the blessing of
more railroads?
Only one week from next Tuesday to the
election. White men are You registered ?
Are you organized? If not, register, and
tell your township executive committee to
organize you. Go to work In the cause of
good government, and don't stop until the
sun goes down on election day. See that
your neighbor registers. and above all see
that he goes to the polls anu votes. If he
is too old and feeble to walk, hire a con-
veyance and carry him.
