The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1888-02-09

The GOLD LEAF would caution planter
against putting i'm too large a crop when
they come to plant their tobacco. Do not be
led away by the present high prices An
over production will send the figures to the
bottom again if not bankrupt the farmers.
II you are not already subscriber to the
GOLD LEAF, you are invited to become
one. The paper will this year be worth
many times the price you have to pay for
it. 1t is Our aim to make it better in every
particular and we want you to help us do
this
Our Ringwood correspondent, Ur. Geo
4. Matthews, writing in the Weldon Neaos
says this of US:
notice the GOLD LEAF has entered its
seventh year. My friend Manning surely
gets up one of the best local papers i'm the
State. May he be fully sustained by those
for whom he labors so faithfully, and his
subscriptions reach many thousands who
pay. Success to him.
Our streets in many places are in wretch
ed Condition They need attention AMI
that badly. The sidewalks should be uni
formly paved with brick or stone, and put
IN such condition as would be a credit to
the town and a comfort and convenience to
our citizens, in muddy weather. uender-
son is getting to be too large place and a
town of too much nota and importance to
longer be content with the bare dirt side
walks we now have. Let us improve and
beautify the town in every way possible so
as to invite and attract strangers from
distance.
The GOLD LEAF does not believe the out
look for Henderson was ever SO bright as it
now is. Everything portends to busy
and prosperous year among our people. A
number of new enterprises are being pro-
jccted and ere long such boom i'm build
ing and the establishment of new indus
tries will be on as we have not yet wit
messed the like of. This being the case,
we can safely say that every dollar invested
in real estate or manufactures of any kind
when the same are wisely operated, will
More buildings are needed and we hope
our people will give proper attention to
this matter.

PARALYZD.-Mr. Scion Switzerland, one
of our oldest and most highly respected cit.
liens, was stricken with paralysis last
Monday evening and we regret to say lies
in critical condition. He is partially
speechless but retains his faculties of mind
The physicians entertain very little hope of
his recovery. The severity OF the attack
and the age of the patient make it extreme
ly doubtful if he will get over it. Mr.
Switzerland is about rs years old. A wide
circle of friends deeply sympathize with
him in his affection.
PROF. S. T. FoRD.-Prof S. T. Ford.
public recitatonist and teacher of elocu-
ton, of New York City, will give two ell
tertainments at Burwell Hall ON the 18th

Y, Courier says:
At Plymouth Avenue NJ E. Church last
evening Prof. S I. Ford of New York
