HE RELATION OF TOwN AND COUNTY
we some times hear people speak dispar-
asingly of their county town, apparently
Impressed with the belief that it is built
up at the expense Of the surrounding cOun-
Try. They do not seem to realize that the
interests of the town and county are one
and the same, and what benefits one sec
ton viii certainly benefit the entire county
As the town grows and prospers its tax
valuation increases of course and this has
tendency to decrease the taxes of the
county just in proportion. But some peo-
pie do not take this view of the matter
And then the country is benefited in that
it has home market for its products.

THE DURHAM & HENDERSON RAILROAD
A train of some 25 mule carts came in
from the Durham & Henderson Railroad
last week. The work of grading has been
finished and there was no longer need of
the teams that have been used in carting
off the dirt from the cuts and filling up the
entertainments. Mr.. John ii Winder and
his able corps of assistants, Messrs. Porter,
Lemon, Harris and others have done their
work we'll. In the early stages of the
work Capt. Scott was chief engineer but
latterly Capt. Moncure has been in charge
While rejoicing at the early completion of
this road we shall reSYt the departure of
such excellent gentlemen from among us.
The work of tract laying is going rapidly
forward.
E. E. Hightnow has 81 90 Duplex watch
dat is said to be the best in the world for
the money. Excellent time piece.

Sow PLENTY WHEAT-Fully the aver
age acreage will be seeded in wheat in this
county this fall. The work has been going
on actively for q couple Of weeks past, wind
and weather only preventing. -!StGtesrMte
Landmark.
The GOLD LEAF advises its farmer friends
in Vance and adjoining counties to do the
same thing. If our people had been sup
piled with wheat Of their oWn raising when
the rise in the price of flour came on some
weeks ago, they would have been virtually
independent of the ''corner" and ''com-
bine" meh liz the West and North who
bought up large quantities on wheat and
-four to speculate on. But they were not,
and the result was that they are compelled
to pay eXorbtant prices for their -four.
We know our lands are not as we'll adapt
ed to wheat as some others, but our people
could very easily raise a great deal more
than they do. Take the GOLD LEAFS adj
vice and sow plenty wheat this fall and
winter. 1t will pay you to do it.
Now is the time to buy your winter gar
ments. 5. Il &. Watkins can supply the
demands with the largest stock of fine suits
and OVercOatS ever brought to Henderson.

REMEMBER THE ORrHANS.-There is no
charitable institution in our land that APP
peals more directly for support than the
Oxford Orphan Asylum. There are at
present within its walls 245 dear little chill
dren, many of them without either father
or mother, and but for that noble institu-
! ton there is no telling what would become
of them. There they are given home and
cared for in the best possible manner,
reared aud educated and made good citi-
| Zens of when they otherwise might drift to
the bad and many of them find a lodging
| place in our houses of correction or worse
| Who then does not delight in contributing
toward the support of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum?
In vje3 of the approaching time that has
been set apart by the President as day of
public Thanksgiving and praise to the
Great Giver of all things, the GOLD LEAF
assuming that services will be held in all
churches Oh that day, suggests that a spe.
| cial collection be taken up for the heneft
of the Orphans at Oxford The people OF
Henderson are ever ready to respond to the
calls of charity and it is not necessary t.
do more than throw out this hint for it t
be acted upon we are sure.
With as many as 245 children to cloth,
and feed it will take a generous offerin!
from the good people of North Carolina Oh
Thanksgiving day to help the Asylum &c
these little ones through the winter months

| How TO HAVE GOOD FIREs-The bes
and most economical fuel for heating pur
poses is coal. Get you one of those nes
style CRATES that fit in the fire place an
some Pocahontas or West Virginia splir
coal and you are all right. There is II
extra work to be done to the CRATE. Re
move the andirons and place it in the fir
place as you would an ordinary box an
: it is ready for use. George Orensha'
makes them and sells them at nomina
price, and you can buy coal of Ii. Ii. Bul
we'll at Richmond prices. You will b
surprised how much better and cheape
coal is than wood. There is not half til
