II You wish brand new, fresh and clean
groceries, step into John w. Purefoy's
store and see stock Of goods which will
make your eyes glisten. He carries
large and complete line OF general mer-
chandise-dfy goods, notions, clothing,
shoes, staple and fancy groceries, canned
goods, country produce and farmers
supplies generally. His prices are low
and his goods as represented.
The thanks of our better half are due
and hereby rendered to Mr.. John Savage,
OF Scotland Neck, for q basket contain
ing choice samples of the products of his
garden, ETC., sent us by express this week,
There were Strawberries, cherries, goose.
berries, garden peas, and the finest Irish
potatoes OF this years growth that we
have seen. We have heard much of Mr..
Savage's success as a gardner, and are
prepared to believe it all. Accept the
GOLD LEAFS thanks, sir.
At the recent meeting OF the North Car
DINA Pharmaceutical Association at
Durham, our popular and highly es=
teemed tAWlsman Mr.. Nj. Dorsey, was
elected one of the Executive Committee
He was also elected a delegate to the
American Pharmaceutical Association
which is to meet in San Francisco next
month. A good selection. There is not
q more competent druggist in the State,
nor il there one more thoroughly welded
to his profession than "Dr." Dorsey
Scotland Neck il to be congratulated
At the recent municipal election there
our talented and esteemed young friend
E. E. Hilliard, Esq, editor OF the Demo-
crat was elected Mayor. The GOLD LEAF
quite agrees with the Wilson Mirror when
it says:
The scholarly and superb billiard. the
brilliant editor of the Democrat, is Mayor
of Scotland Neck, and an admirable one
he will make, for he is one Of the best
equipped and most sensible men In that
county, while purer gentleman never
adorned society or lent a charm to HUI
manity.
Vance county Offers as good and cheap
homes to the agriculturalist and hOrti-
cultnralist as any county. We have
every advantage at soil and climate, with
q rGady market and good transp0rta-
ton facilities, With our mild climate
and long growing seasons the North and
West cannot begin to compare, while
the lands if not as naturally rich are
susceptible OF high state Of cultivation
and yield good returns for the labor and
attention bestowed thereon. Lands are
cheap and farming stock easily kept.
Nv; ": i. Henry has been invited to
deliver the annual address before the
young ladies of Wilson Collegiate Insti=
tute, Prof. Silas Warren, principal, June
9Th. Much to his regret Mr.. Henry was
compelled to decline the invitation, cir
cumstances just now not permitting him
to fill such an engagement. This is all
the more to be regretted because the ac-
quaintance and friendship OF no people ia
more to be aought and cultivated than
| that of the cultured, refined and hOspit-
able citizens of Wilson and the surround
ing country.
