lT IS more than likely that Col.

WHILE the papers in this section
claim that the town they represent

Mineral Point is the best in said

Our merchants were all well

that Monday was even better. Glad
to hear of all this.

THEDYING YEAR.

The old year is fast drawing to its
close. Its last moments are swiftly
passing away. A little while and it
viii be gone forever, with its long
train of memories, some sad, some
pleasant. The errors that have been
committed-sins of omission as well
as of commissioners only be atoned
for in the light of improvement. We
cannot take back single word, we
cannot undo a single act. They are
gone beyond recall. How perfectly
then we should try to live, that we
may have nothing for which to ex-
press regrets; nothing of which we
might feel ashamed. II we have made
mistakes in the past-and who has
not 2-let us endeavor to avoid them
in the future. If we have wronged
our fellow-man if we have unneces-
sarlly wounded the feelings of any
one; let us seek to repair the injury
and do SO no more. If we have done
those things that We ought not to
have done if we have left undone
those things that we ought to have
done; in a word if we have not come
up to the full measure of our duty,
let us resolve anew to do better here
after.
This is a fit time for indulging in
such thoughts as these. AS the joyous
Christmas tide approaches and we
stand upon the threshold of the glad
New Year, it is we'll to examine our
selves and see how far short we have
come of our duties. Resolve to i'm
prove upon the past in all essential
things whereby the lessons of expe,
rience may aid US, and with "good viii
for all and malice toward none," lei
us go forward to the discharge of oul
duties with brave courageous heart!
and firm faith in the goodness of tht
great Ruler over all things.

MIR. F. NJ. SIMMONS is decidedly
the choice of the State as President. of
the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail-
road as is evidenced by the way all our
newspapers talk.-RaIe:gh Chronicle.
"The way all our newspapers talk"
is not conclusive every time, though /;
especially if that "way" happens to
be in merely copying (by reques) an
article written fer and published in
some other paper. The GOLD LEAF
does not believe the sentiment of the
people of North Carolina is in favor
of displacing Mr.. Washington Bryan.
the present very capable President Of
the Atlantic & North Carolina Rail
road. Mr. Simmons has no stronger
friend than this writer. hnt we do not
sant to see Mr.. Bryan put aside as
long as he performs his duties as well
and satisfactory as he has done, sim.
ply to give a lucrative position &c

SEVEN YEARS OLD.

Seven years ago this week the first
copy of the GOLD LEAF was run from
the press. The present publisher stood
by and looked on with the pride and
admiration with which fond father
beholds his frst-born, and through all
those years OF varying fortune the
destinies of this writer and the paper
have ebbed and flowed together.
Through summers sunshine and win
ter's storm, through misfortunes and
adyersities, the paper has kept right
on until to-day it closes up the sew
enth volume and lays it away In the
tomb of the past.
Without missing single issue
Except during Christmas week. the
GOLD LEAF has gone on in the dis
charge of its duties fulfilling the mis-
sion of a EOe local newspaper as we
understand il, doing what it could at
all times for the building up of the
community in which it is published.
How well it has done this we leave
Others to say. Its record is before
you-right or wrong-the paper is
here still, fully alive to its response
bilities, and always ready to lend a
= helping hand, iEhat-eur efforts have
been appreciated is evidenced by Z
steady growth in the subscription lis
and the substantial advertising pat
ronage that the paper enjoys. Fo
this we are thankful, and it shall be
our constant endeavor to merit a con
tinuance of the same kindly consider
atoms in future.
The GOLD LEAF has labored zeal
ously for what it conceived to be TO
the best interests of the people
strives TO serve, and enters upon ne'
volume and new year FULL of energ
and courage for the work still befor
it. Our constant endeavor shall b
to make it better and more usefr
paper, and toward this end we ask tn
support and cooperation of our pee
pie. The GOLD LEAF is here, it
here to stay, it is here to grow, it.
here to help build up Henderson
Vance county and the State of Mort
Carolina.
Thankful to our friends for the SUI
port that has been given us in II
past, with renewed energy and MOI
abiding faith in the future we go 70
ward to meet the duties that lie b
fore us.

MIR. WASHINGTON BRYAN

Hh. w AShlN0ION Din AN.
The Weldon NezUs, one of the most
intelligent and conservative of our ex-
changes, sees no reason why Mr..
Washington Bryan, President of the
Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad,
should be set aside, in view of the
fact, that he makes good and capa-
BILE officer, in whose hands the States
interests appear to be quite safe. In
this the GOLD LEAF agrees with the
Meas. Notwithstanding the bitter
attacks made upon Mr.. Bryan in GER
tain quarters for purely personal
reasons, we believe Gov. Scales will
take the same view of the matter as
set forth in the following article and
retain Mr.. Bryan in the position that
| his administration of the affairs of the
road show him to be SO we'll fitted for.
And in this we are confident the Gov
ernor will be sustained and applauded
by the great mass of the people OF
North Carolina. Give us fair play in
this matter, gentlemen; the people
want nothing else and will be salts
fed with noting short of it. We copy
from the NezVs
Mr.. Washington Bryan has been
President of the Atlantic & North
Carolina Railroad Co., for several years
Under his wise administration of the
business of the road it is becoming
better equipped, better managed anc
more profitable all the time. Wher
he took charge of it, it was from al
accounts in dilapidated condition
The rails were worn out, the bridge
decayed and the whole property wa
in bad repair. Now it has taken +:
new lease on life and is becoming
more desirable property annually. Al
this beng true, and we believe it is true
we can see no reason why he shoult
be set aside and his place given t,
another-even to Mr.. Simmons,
. gentleman for whom we have higI
, admiration and entertain a friendl
regard.
Mr.. Simmons has made an excel
lent representative and we are prout
of him-he belongs to US. He will Ii

again called upon to serve his Stat
and people in some position of trus
: and profit. But we do not think
just to take the presidency of thi
railroad from Mr.. Bryan and give
to- MIR. Simmons apparently becaus
