Parker & Gloss are selling large guam
titles of goods at wholesale. They ship
car loads of stuff to points at distance.
Buying in large lots and having nothing
like the heavy expenses that Richmond
and Baltimore houses have to incur they
say they can not only duplicate the bills
of many of these on certain articles but
can actually under sell them.

sufficiently great, enduring and capable

We had the pleasure OF call from Col.
VIM. II. s. Bargwyn. of Vance county,
who is on his return from the Southern
Immigration Convention. He thinks the
meeting has done good and the results will
be seen in the future. He tried to get up
a Southern Exposition to be held in some
Northern or Western city but the railroad
men and others of the Southwest would
not support it, and the resolution was not
adopted. - Wilmington Star.
Already hig improvement has been
made in the appearance and general con-
yeniehce of arrangement of the old Central
Hotel building. Mr.. r. Perry the owner
is to be commended for the enterprise and
public spirit he is displaying in fitting up
the property at his own expense. AS here
tofore announced Dir. j. P. Massenhurg
will take charge the lstof JANUARY, and it
goes without saying that he will keep a
first-clasS house.
Mr.. w. H. Hart has bought Mr.. Walter
RoWiand'S Handsome residence on Fair
ground street. This is one of the best built
houses in town, we'll and conveniently az
ranged as To architectural design, and is al
together a very desirable place. Mr.. Hart
is to be congratulated upon his good for
tune in becoming lie pui chaser. He has
tswn also. The GOLD LEAF has no teais
of losing Mr.. Hart as citizen pow a. 1T

If there is anything the GOLD LEAF has
worked harder for than another it is man
ufacturing enterprises. The location of Il
few good manufactures here would aid in
accelerating the development of this sec
ton. and if rightly managed be profitable
to their owners. There is all opening for
and need of quite number. They can
commence in small way, if need be, and
grow up with the country. There are
many kinds of business that might DE made
successful here from the start.
Col. Burgwyn returned home Tuesday
from Montgomery, Alabama. where he
went to attend the Southern immigration
progressive and public spirited citizens, he
never loses al opportunity to do all in his
power to promote the welfare and prosper

pers Col. Burgwyn took an active part in
the proceedings of the convention and it is
to be hoped that great good may come oat
of the movement.
Mrs. DeWolfe and daughter of MaSsa-
chusetts, and Mrs. DeWolfe of New Jer-
sey, are stopping at Mr.. w. D. Horner's
for the winter. rhe ladies appear to be
we'll pleased with Henderson and its sur.
roundings, the climate particularly agree
ing with them. One of the ladies has been
using Wortiiam's mineral water and thinks
| she has derived great benefit from it. Our
town could be made quite resort fol
Northern people if some effort were made
| in that direction. The GOLD LEAF is
pleased to have such visitors in our midst
If you can make merry during the Christ
mas holidays more by keeping the money
| that rightfully is ours Chose who are
owing us we mean) then you must keep il
awhile longer; but remember our printer:
and the men of whom we buy our paper tt
print the GOLD LEAF on. and others we
owe, all want their money and expect US tt
pay them. The fact that we find it diff
cult to collect what is due us is no excuse
to them. That is matter with which thei
have nothing to do. Then do not let US a
peal in vain. We ask for nothing but ou
own.
