Yes, Henderson is to have government
building in all probability. This is as it
should be. Our towf IS getting to be a
place of sufficient size and Importance for
Uncle Sam It's give us handsome postoffic &c
building, aid lie is thinking mighty seriously
about doing It: Only four other towns east
OF Raleigh, 05z: Tarboro, Wilson, Goldsboro
and New Derne Will be thus fortunate
under the provisions of the bill By wllich Ge
are likely to get ours:
Entirely It'd liiany loafers congregate
aroiihd the depot at train time, and if posi-
BILE, some means ought to be devised to
break it up. The GOLD LEAF knows this
IS Hard to DO unless tile station building
Sas fenced in, but the habit Of persons
jumping on and off the trains can be stop
ped and it must De Mayor Goodrich and
tho efficient police force are locking after
all such. Heavy fines imposed on these Of
tenders will put an end to this practice.
The GOLD LEAF hears complaint about
tie way negroes are allowed to monopd-
LIE the seats in the court house. At one
time the whites occupied one side and the
negroes the other, but for the last few
courts the latter seem to take rdssessi6n
Of pretty liluch the whole thing. They
have rights that should be respectfully
have the whites not also? There ought to
be a fair division at least. Certainly we
object to making one class stand up white
the others lazilS lounge about, and We
are edNalty opposed t5 All indiserinl'nat6
mixture.
