Miss Maud Rodgers re-epened her school
last Monday, with several new scholars.
She is very competent young lady and
besides has had experience that peculiarly
fits her for the school room.
The GOLD LEAF was pleased to have its
friend James W. Briggs, of the Danville
Times. pay us visit during the holidays
There is no bigger heart, kinder nature,
or more admirable young gentleman in

One of our exchanges puts a bit of good
advice in this way 1t says:

The Rocky Mount Phoenis thinks any
man who will take newspaper from the
post Office every week for year or more,
and then refuse to pay for it, and leave it
in the office, marked refused, is too mean
to live, and hardly fit to die. And yet some
thing.
One of the best things to have In soar
family is good local newspaper, and that
is the GELD LEAF. Reader, If copy Of

and money at once if you are subscriber

The Milton Adoertiser makes a careful
estimate of the situation and says Live

counted on to make you pay high per

Capt. A. L. Stced wag the recipient of

Our good friead Savage, Of the German
town Independent, who has evidently been
there himself, facetiously remarks:
The Frankford Cleaner SAYS the most
critical part of 4 boys life is from II to 81
Editor Henry evidently was never led out
to the woodshed by an irate parent with
section of barrel stave In his hand and
told to disrobe.
Some men who pride themselves on be-
ing considered honest, will neglect to pay
for their paper until the editor is forced
to discontinue sending it to them, and in
nine cases out of ten that is the last Of it.
Few persons will pay ''when their honesty
or intention to pay for the paper is ques-
toned" as they regard it, by stopping 1t.
Strange. isn't it?
Bill Nye writes to 4 hald-hcadcd friend,
who asks his advice about hair restoratives,
as follows: Take your hair restorative
money and buy you lot in growing town
that supports its home paper and advertises

We see an article going the rounds OF the
press headed What to do in case of acct
dent Without stopping to read the ad-
vice therein given, the GOLD LEAF ventures
the suggestion that about the best thing to
do is to get out of the way of danger. Upon
that this would naturally suggest itself to
any sensible person.
Robert j. Hart, at one time a citizen Of
Henderson. but for the past year en-
gagged in the warehouse business In Jones'
boro, spent the holidays in this section, to
the delight of his many friends. BY the
way, the GOLD LEAF is pleased to learn
that he will again make his home in our

"Old Reliable" Cooper's Warehouse.
We hear of young married couples just
settling themselves on a farm who devote
their time to planting avenues of oaks and
magnolias on the lawns in front of their
homes. What folly! Anavenue of pecan
trees would be just as ornamental in just as
short time, and yield them a sum of
money sufficient to educate their children
The pecan will flourish wherever oak or
hickory grows.
IT'S not enough of life to live. to make
"both ends meet" You want little
bread and potatoes, some fruit and few
vegetables mixed in. No man should be
content without the larder of business Is
stocked with every article of trade that
goes to make up a square meal of success
and to do this you must advertise. Then
Listen to our story told in brief
Keep standing ad. in the GOLD LEAF.
The GOLD LEAF heartily congratulated
its good friend John A. Johnston, ESQ, OF
Halifax county, who on the Goth of De
cember. in Weldon, was happily married

Gallipolis, Ohio. The groom is most
! popular and clever young gentleman, and
| the fair and lovely bride is a young lad,
OF many rare virtues OF mind and heart
A long and happy and prosperous married
/ life to them.
In entering upon the New Year the COLI
LEAF desires to tender its sincere and ap
preciative thanks to those of our Merchants
and business men generally who by theil
! patronage are sustaining the editor in his
efforts to furnish Henderson and Vance
county with live and progressive Local
journal. During the present year we hope
to merit still more of their good will and
